History Awesome / MoonKnight2022

* TheStinger has Khonshu reveal that he ''wasn't'' eyeing Layla all along. No, he was eyeing ''Jake Lockley'' to be his avatar. Jake is all too happy to give Arthur ATasteOfHisOwnMedicine, and it's nothing short of cathartic to watch the latter's smugness and superiority give away to pure horror as he fears for his life for the very first time.

* Steven also gets a good one by poking holes in Ammit's philosophy and pointing out that they would be killing people, especially children. He's clearly got a hell of a point, since Harrow seems to be at [[ArmorPiercingQuestion a loss of words to argue against it]] and resorts to using Ammit's power to instead directly threaten Steven into handing over the scarab.

''(shoots Harrow in the heart twice before he drives the limo out of the psychiatric ward)''

* Khonshu displays his full power in a HeroicSacrifice, ''rearranging the night sky itself'' to the way it was thousands of years ago in order for Layla and Steven to able to find Ammit's tomb, knowing full well that it'll cause him to be encased in stone by the other Egyptian gods. The visuals are stunning, and we are shown reactions around the world, making it clear that this isn't just a localized illusion; Khonshu is ''rolling back the entire sky'' to show them this. It's no wonder the other gods are pissed -- there is no way to excuse this as anything except divine intervention.

** Despite their strong showing, Harrow endangering a nearby family proves enough of a distraction for him to seize the advantage over the pair of them, pinning Layla's hand to the side of an upturned car with one of Marc's crescent darts, forcing her to use the other arm defending herself from close-range gunfire from his remaining goons whilst he wails on Marc, eventually tearing his mask off and impaling him with Ammit's staff, which begins apparently ''disintegrating'' both his body and the Moon Knight costume both, in spite of Marc's HealingFactor. It looks to be the DarkestHour for the heroes...except then Marc [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome blacks out again]], awakening to find himself standing over a beaten and bloody Harrow with the sundered half of his staff pressed against his head in anticipation of a finishing blow with his own weapon, bodies lying everywhere, with the surroundings on fire and [[SceneryGorn noticeably more destroyed]] than they were during the on-screen battle up to that point. Layla is noticeably shaken by whatever the hell 'Marc' just did, and the two alters we're familiar with each confirm that this go-around, beneficial as it was to them, ''isn't'' something either of them did, or were capable of by themselves. Combined with the stinger, it's a fairly harrowing example of how much more powerful [[SuperPoweredEvilSide the third alter]] is when he's in control of Moon Knight's powers, enough to almost turn the fight against Harrow into an AntiClimax with apparent ease.

* Several of these occur off-screen when Marc is in control: apparently breaking into a heavily-armed compound of Harrow's in the alps and successfully stealing the scarab, despite getting his jaw dislocated in the process; bloodily beating four people to death with his bare hands in such a manner that the large crowd around him flees in terror; performing some driving stunts worthy of a James Bond film in a cupcake delivery truck, at one point managing to drive ''backwards'' after wrestling a gun away from an attacker at close-range and shooting him in the head; and also having a complete other identity hidden in a secret panel in Steven's room for him to assume whenever he takes control, having apparently been doing this for a ''long'' time before Steven realized something was happening to him.

[[folder:Episode 2: Summon The Suit]]
* Steven gets some credit after taking on the Mr. Knight persona, confronting the jackal head-on and refusing to submit to Marc or Khonshu. Even Marc admits that the punch on the jackal was pretty good.
** Steven is clearly terrified and out of his depths, but confronts the jackal directly when he realizes Layla can't see it. He has no idea what's going on and is scared out of his mind, but you can't say he's not brave.
* Once Steven allows Marc to take control, the fight immediately goes to Moon Knight's favor as he manages to lead the jackal away from bystanders, find an opening for him to strike, and use an environmental structure to impale it and finish it off.

* Steven also gets a good one by poking holes in Ammit's philosophy by pointing out that they would be killing people, especially children. He's clearly got a hell of a point, since Harrow seems to be at [[ArmorPiercingQuestion a loss of words to argue against it]] and resorts to using Ammit's power to instead directly threaten Steven into handing over the scarab.

* Unsettling as it is, Arthur Harrow is capable of outwitting the representatives of literal gods, playing on Khonshu's weaknesses and manipulating the other avatars into throwing out the case Marc is making.
* Marc deploying the suit to fight Anton's goons. Not only is his cape bulletproof, it can hurl the bullets back with stunning force when he whips it.

** Marc is temporarily pinned to the ground by spears. When he sees Layla is in danger, he quickly breaks free and snaps the spears, leaving everyone dead on the ground impaled by their own weapons in ''seconds.''
** Layla also deserves credit for proving just how CrazyPrepared she is--beyond wearing a necklace to Mogart's mansion that conceals a set of knives, her tablet is also equipped with software that can scan celestial positions and turn them into usable coordinates.
* Khonshu displays his full power in a HeroicSacrifice, ''rearranging the night sky itself'' to the way it was thousands of years ago, aligning the stars in order so that Layla and Steven can find Ammit's tomb, knowing full well that it'll cause him to be encased in stone by the other Egyptian Gods. The visuals are stunning, and we are shown reactions around the world, making it clear that this isn't just a localized illusion; Khonshu is ''rolling back the entire sky'' to show them this. It's no wonder the other gods are pissed--there is no way to excuse this as anything except divine intervention.

* The sky scene also a moment where Steven (after having been sidelined by Marc and Khonshu) is able to prove the value of his extensive knowledge of Egyptology and history, as he deduces how to reassemble the fragments of papyrus into a map.

* The discovery of Alexander the Great's tomb itself proves to be this. For archaeologists and those who follow archaeology, the lost tomb of Alexander the Great is one of the great mysteries of the field. Seeing Stephen find it, is nothing short of awesome.

* While it is also disturbing, it's hard to deny the sheer awe in seeing Khonshu (with F. Murray Abraham bringing his a-game) bring Marc back from the dead as the [[ThemeMusicPowerUp music]] swells and we see the full glory of Moon Knight being born. It's not everyday you see the birth of a holy Fist Of Vengeance.

* Layla is pretty dang awesome in this episode, from going after Harrow with plans to assassinate him herself (possibly both to prevent him from destroying the world and avenge Marc at the same time) to releasing Khonshu all on her own, and when he tries to ask her to be his avatar she not only says no, she tears him a new one for his treatment of Marc.
* [[TheBadGuyWins Harrow releasing Ammit from her prison.]] She proves to be a very interesting goddess and one hell of a threat to the world. Harrow himself no longer holds back and starts destroying everything in his path to get to her.

* [[MeleeATrois The entirety of the three-way battle]] between Arthur (now the avatar for Ammit's power), Moon Knight and Layla. Many fans noted the relative lack of action in such a gritty series, but thankfully they saved the best for last. Harrow really steps up his game, displaying the full extent of his power and giving Marc, Steven and Layla a run for their money. It also shows off Layla's newfound skills with her RazorWings and Marc's capabilities as Moon Knight. ''All while giant Khonshu and Ammit battle fiercely in the background!''
** Despite their strong showing, Harrow endangering a nearby family proves enough of a distraction for him to seize the advantage over the pair of them, pinning Layla's hand to the side of an upturned car with one of Marc's Crescent Darts, forcing her to spend the other arm defending herself from close-range gunfire from his remaining goons whilst he wails on Marc, eventually tearing his mask off and impaling him with Ammit's staff, which begins apparently ''disintegrating'' both his body and the Moon Knight costume together, in spite of Marc's HealingFactor. It looks to be the DarkestHour for the heroes...except then Marc [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome blacks out again]], awakening to find himself standing over a beaten and bloody Harrow with the sundered half of his staff pressed against his head in anticipation of a finishing blow with his own weapon, bodies lying everywhere, with the surroundings on fire and [[SceneryGorn noticeably more destroyed]] than they were during the on-screen battle up to that point.

Combined with the stinger, it's a fairly harrowing example of how much more powerful [[SuperPoweredEvilSide the third guy]] is when he's in control of Moon Knight's powers, enough to almost turn the fight against Harrow into an AntiClimax with apparent ease.
* Steven is now capable of kicking ass with his truncheons as he and Marc can seamlessly switch between personas. Extra credit should go to Creator/OscarIsaac for alternating between Marc's American accent and Steven's British accent when speaking sentence-to-sentence. He's also the one who makes the deal with Khonshu -- release both Marc and Steven from the deal or they won't help.
