Legacies – Into the Woods

After getting her butt kicked by a god, Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) spends a little recovery time in Limbo leading to a reunion with Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) whose own path out of Limbo looks to far more complicated than he expected. The calm before the next conflict with the gods is really just an excuse to get these two star-crossed kids back together for a moment before sending them back on their own adventures. Of the various B-stories, the one with immediate consequences involves Ken (Luke Mitchell) striking a partnership with Aurora de Martel (Rebecca Breeds) to kill the tribrid (although, as yet, neither knows how this can be accomplished). It’s of note for Ben sharing a bit of his life with her suggesting that in Aurora’s twisted mind his choices towards his children did indeed makes sense, or, just perhaps, his offspring aren’t the innocent victims they’ve portrayed themselves to be.

Moon Knight – Gods and Monsters

  • Title: Moon Knight – Gods and Monsters

Given the time Moon Knight has taken meandering its way to a final conflict, perhaps it was inevitable that the finale would be rushed. Still, “Gods and Monsters” succeeds in what’s needed by returning Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac) and, somewhat surprisingly, Steven Grant back to the land of the living to take on Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) and Ammit (Saba Mubarak). Layla (May Calamawy) gets a power upgrade as well by becoming the (temporary?) avatar of Taweret (Antonia Salib) although the god doesn’t show up herself to help Khonshu (F. Murray Abraham), and her help would have been appreciated. While their god isn’t done with Marc and Steven, given how much Layla enjoyed being an Egyptian super-hero it’s unclear whether or not she could decide to continue on as an avatar.

Following the likes of WandaVision, Loki, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Moon Knight, and The Eternals, Marvel Studios continues to push Phase Four in new and different ways. While not everything has been as strong as some of the earlier core Marvel titles, it certainly hasn’t been boring. In many ways, you could refer to Phase Four of the MCU as Marvel Studios’ experimental teenage years. Enter director Sam Raimi.
