Brutal fight scenes

If you think what you saw in the Punisher and Daredevil seasons were brutal, you haven’t seen anything yet. Moon Knight isn’t the best fighter in the Marvel Universe. He may not even be top twenty. What he does better than anyone else is absorbing punishment and dish it right back. Someone once said to Spector, “No one hits someone’s Fist with their face like you do.” Taskmaster also told him it was a fighting style he wished he could forget. It works for Moon Knight. It shows a lack of caring that heroes rarely have. It’s almost like he wants to be punished.

Maybe the best example of Moon Knight’s brutality are the crescent moon scars. Moon Knight was “apprehending” violent criminals and then carving a crescent moon on their forehead every time he caught them. Some criminals were smart enough to stop after the first offense. Others ended up with multiple. One guy had seven scars. Scarring violent criminals will absolutely get fans behind Spector and also get social media talking about him.
