How good is the Moon Knight Series (Episodes 5 and 6)

 How good is the Moon Knight Series? 



As part of the phase four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU),  the first season of the Moon Knight series ran from March 30th 2022 to May 4th 2022. The Moon Knight Series has been described by many as the best Marvel series ever and with stellar performances from Oscar Isaac, Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy, it's really difficult not to agree. But how good exactly is this series that has earned praises from different quarters? 

Well based on my rankometer, the Moon Knight with an overall rating of 7.2/10 is Marvel's best series so far bettering the likes of WandaVision (7/10),What if (6.8/10), Loki (6.7/10), Hawkeye (6.5/10), The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (6/10) and others. And oh, these are my own ratings though. That been said, what were the short comings that prevented this glorious series from reaching a 10/10 or even a 9/10. Well let's see and judge. 



Note: This is not a comprehensive list yet as more items may be added subsequently. Article may contain spoilers. 


Episode Five 

Rating: 9/10

• Slight continuity error. When Marc and Steven visit the room full of people Marc killed at a some point, the camera focuses on Marc and Steven can be seen in the background looking fully at the balancing scales with both hands on his waist. However when the camera cuts back to Steven, he is still turning to look at the scales and has not turned completely to face it as seen in the earlier frame. I'm not sure if you understand this but re-watch the scene and you'll understand what I'm talking about.




• Back to the beginning. When Marc and Steven visit the memory of the moment Steven was created by Marc, Marc's Mum picks a belt to whip young Marc. But as she passes by adult Marc and Steven she casts a she casts a shadow on them which does not make sense since adult Marc and Steven were not actually in the room when the original incident happened. Also Marc's Mum seems to tilt her body slightly to avoid colliding with adult Marc and Steven. 


Episode Six

Rating: 8/10



• Ammit supreme versus Khonshu supreme fight scene. Ammit apparently attained her huge size by feeding off the souls of the people in Cairo. No problem right? But Khonshu was also to grow to this size. How come? Does it mean both Ammit and Khonshu are capable of spontaneous growth? That is can they increase in size whenever they want even without feeding on people's souls? What then was the significance of the scene where Ammit consumed the souls of Cairo's residents. 


Despite all of these, the Moon Knight is a very good series. The actors just took the acting to another whole level. The visual effects department also deserve massive accolades. They really brought Khonshu's, Ammit's and Taweret's characters to life. The Moon Knight series is still streaming on Disney plus in case you want to re-watch it.

Fields of Glory: Faculty of Agriculture Plows Through Faculty of Physical Sciences with a 4-0 Victory

  By Otaru Testimony Afigie When the Faculties of Agriculture and Physical Sciences collided in the latest round of fixtures one thing was certain- one of the teams would go home bruised. And so it was as the Faculty of Agriculture emerged 4-0 winners in this one-sided contest.  The match was evenly balanced in it's early stages as both teams surged forward without any side actually controlling the game.  The Physical Science team eventually lived up to their name as they completely dominated the midfield thanks to heroics from Anora, who dictated proceedings from her centre-midfield role. Another stand out player for Physical Science in this period was Divine. Divine consistently terrorised the Agric defenders on the left wing.  Unfortunately, Divine was prone to excessive showboating and was eventually identified as a threat prompting the Agric team to mark her tightly. Consequently Divine was pocketed and largely kept quiet for most parts of the game except for he...

Self Care

By Otaru Testimony Afigie PANS, NIGERIA It's 9pm and you've just gotten back from the pharmacy. Of course, you are not yet a pharmacist. You're still a student, but you've been overworked to the point of exhaustion. So tired that you simply collapse on the bed and drift off to sleep, just like the previous nights. Fast forward two weeks, and you are on that same bed, coughing, immobilized, lethargic, shivering under blankets, and informing your boss that you'll be absent from work that day. Let's examine this, shall we? Over the previous months, you effectively discharged your duties, dispensing drugs, and administering injections where necessary. Patients adore you because you know precisely the right drugs for the right ailment. But you've somehow managed to neglect the most important patient of all - yourself. Hours after hours, you attended to several patients who presented with diverse forms of illnesses. For every cefixime you prescribed to a coughing ...
