Warning: this article contains many spoilers concerning episode 6 of Moon Knight. Do not continue reading if you do not want to read it.
1) arthur harrow all fire all flame
In the Chamber of the Gods, the avatars of each of the gods of the Ennead are panicked, feeling a great disturbance. Yatzil, Hathor’s avatar, claims that someone is trying to free Ammit into the world; Selim, the avatar of Osiris, realizes it’s Harrow.
Harrow and his followers enter the chamber as the walls of the Ennead collapse before them. As Selim takes the first step, Harrow raises his scepter. We then observe the bodies of the avatars of the Ennead scattered, and Harrow is about to break Ammit’s ushabti to free her.
2) the revival of ammit
Arthur Harrow finally manages to resurrect Ammit, the Egyptian demon who judges and devours souls. When Ammit emerges into our world, she is represented as of an anthropomorphic alligator, which more or less matches how she appears in ancient Egyptian mythology. Namely that the voice of Ammit is provided by Saba Mubarak, a Jordanian actress and great star of Egyptian cinema.
In the comic series Moon Knight, by Jeff Lemire and Greg Smallwood, Ammit appears and poses as Marc Spector’s therapist. We therefore understand better, knowing this, the scenes with the Avatar of Ammit, Arthur Harrow, who takes the form of the psychologist by Marc Spector in his thoughts.
3) MARC HELPS TO RESCUE STEVEN
Marc sacrifices his place in the field of reeds to return to save Steven. Marc and Steven then come back to life, and become the Avatars again. from Khonshu.
4) a nice reference to the beginning of the series
Did you notice it? In Steven’s aquarium that we see in the very first episode of the series, we notice the Douat boat (number 1) finally appears for real in episode 4 and episode 5, driven by Taweret. Then, the bust of Nefertiti symbolizes the journey that Mark has been making in his own head since episode 4, and finally, the pyramid of Giza (number 3) is seen since episode 3since in the latter is the Ennead (namely the Avatars of the Gods).
5) layla becomes the avatar of taweret
In the comics, neither Layla El-Faouly ni Taweret have no counterparts, so no connection can be made when the latter becomes the Avatar of the Hippopotamus-bodied Goddess. However, this scene is not trivial: create a new superhero from scratchwhich does not exist in the comics, is very innovative for Marvel Studios, which usually tends to use comics as source material.
6) an interesting reference to grab
In the comics the character of Abdul Faoul in the 1940s leads a group called the “Sons of the Scarab”, which seeks to end Britain’s control of Egypt. All wore ancient Egyptian costumes, posing as modern servants ancient pharaohs. Abdul then seized the Scarlet Beetle, an extremely powerful jewel, present in a pyramid.
The Scarlet Beetle has always been about protecting Egypt. And that’s where Layla comes in. ! She in turn took the Beetle as her symbol, and when asked if she is an “Egyptian superheroine”, the latter answers yes. Knowing this, we note that the series presented us with a foreshadowing in previous episodes, when Marc had woken up in his mind’s asylum. A red beetle is indeed present on the bandage present on his finger.
7) the marc blackout
While Arthur Harrow is about to be done with Marc, the latter personality “switch” with Jake Lockley (as we understand it). This last, who we know to be much more brutal than Marc and Steven, manages to defeat Arthur and all of his henchmen. When Marc regains control, it’s a black hole. Layla herself doesn’t understand what happened. We will find this character (this other “Alter”) in the episode’s post-credits scene.
8) Marc and steven think they will be freed
Marc and Layla finally trap Ammit in the body of Arthur Harrow. However, Marc and Steven refuse to kill Harrow (and Ammit as well) and demand that Khonshu releases them of their Avatar status. The latter accepts without hesitation, and for good reason: Jake Lockley, he is still under his orders.
9) two fish for steven!
When Marc wakes up, right after Khonshu “released” him from his Avatar status, he looks at Steven’s apartment, and then we notice two fish in the aquarium. These two fish symbolize the fact that Marc and Steven are now reunitedand seem much more at peace… Until they learn that Jake is cohabiting too, at least.
10) the post-credits scene
The post-credits scene of this episode is very interesting since it allows us to discover Jake Lockley, the third personality of Marc Spector. If you want to learn more about this post-credits scene, do not hesitate to consult our previous article on the subject, we come back to it with more details.
11) a nice reference to a great designer
In the post-credits scene again, we notice that the name of the psychiatric hospital from which Arthur Harrow is leaving reverberates on the door of this limousine: it is the Sienkiewicz psychiatric hospital, in reference to one of the most famous figures. most important comics Moon Knight : Bill Sienkiewicz. The latter has no was not the first artist to draw Moon Knight (that honor goes to Don Perlin), but Bill Sienkiewicz was the first artist in the very first continuous series of Moon Knight. His almost gothic designs helped make Moon Knight one of Marvel’s most forward-thinking heroes. A nice wink.
