I have to give the show credit for immediately throwing the"maybe he's in a medical hospital" twist out the window into even crazier territory.
I dunno about that. Pop culture is kind of obsessed with Alexander the Great.I think this is the first mention of Macedonia since, like, ever, in living pop culture. Yeah sure Mr Great is there but rarely is the mention of the Macedonian empire. Did not expect Alexander thr Great as a superhero but here we are.
Wait, next week's the finale? Huh, thought it'd go on for a bit longer.

I wonder if we'll see the third personality the Moon Knight apparently has? Only gotten hints so far, I think.
This episode was surprisingly short. Most of them have been 50+ minutes, this one was only 36. Would have been nice to have more of an epilogue to have a better idea of things stand with Marc, Steven and Layla at the end.Most of it went well enough but the ending felt quite abrupt, even with the post-credits scene. (not really a spoiler tbh)
IIRC, people with Dissociative Identity Disorder will often manifest a "protector" alter whose job is to protect the main personality by dealing with the worst situations. Initially one could assume (if one were unfamiliar with the comics) that Stephen was the core personality and Marc the protector. But Marc is the core personality, and Jake is the protector. When the core personality is already a dangerous mercenary, how much more dangerous must the protector alter be? I've heard it suggested that Jake may have been created to absorb all of the abuse that Marc suffered as a child. It's possible that Jake has only ever known cruelty and brutality.What the dear fucking Christ is Jake? Every time he comes out, people die brutally. He took a doomed fight, and flipped it in a minute. Marc? Marc's a amateur compared to the force of nature that is Jake Lockley.
That doesn't explain the obscene skill at violence. Marc wishes he was as lethal as Jake is. Jake is so good, that while acting as the Avatar of Khonshu, he saved the day in seconds. They were going to lose, Marc and Steven were trapped, and Jake comes out and everyone is dead and fires are everywhere.IIRC, people with Dissociative Identity Disorder will often manifest a "protector" alter whose job is to protect the main personality by dealing with the worst situations.

*shrug* It's impossible to say what happened, since we didn't see it and we don't get to see Marc/Steven ever ask Layla what she saw. The impression I get is that Jake has all of Marc's skill and zero restraint. It's also possible that he's learned to use Moon Knight powers that Marc hasn't.That doesn't explain the obscene skill at violence. Marc wishes he was as lethal as Jake is.
