Marvel: Ranking the 6 Disney Plus MCU projects of 2022
By Mark Lynch
4. Moon Knight
Moon Knight kept the audience guessing throughout the season. That was one of the best things about the show. You never knew if the suit was going to come out – even if Stephen Grant/Marc Spector were in danger. And, if you’ve never read the comic, you may have been shocked to see the Moon Knight suit as an actual, well, suit.
The character development of the main characters helped make Moon Knight a must watch show. Stephen and Marc settled their differences in a way that made sense. They came to an understanding and didn’t sacrifice who they were and why viewers liked them. Seeing how the personalities were created was disheartening, but helped you understand and sympathize with them more. No one could have seen that Stephen and Jake were created to help Marc cope with his abuse.
Lastly, you have to acknowledge the supporting cast of characters. Layla El-Faouly and Khonshu could also be looked at as the best parts of the show. Some fans would tune in to just see them. Moreover, there were also the antagonists, Arthur Harrow and Ammit, to consider. They were perfect for the show. Who knows, just because they’re dead or gone doesn’t mean they can’t come back. Particularly in the world of mysticism that Moon Knight functions in.
3. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special
There hasn’t been a classic holiday special in a long time. Who would have thought that the Guardians of the Galaxy would be the group to fill that void? However, when you think about the characters, it makes sense.
Despite all of their differences, they’re more of a family than a lot of other comic book teams. Of course they’d go above and beyond to make each other happy. Add an adventure to Earth with two of the most naïve characters in the MCU (Mantis and Drax) and it’s everything you’d want from a holiday story. There’s even a bunch of heartwarming moments and a couple of Christmas songs. This could end up being a special that viewers watch every year.
