The “boop/beep” thing was a direct insult to Pedro Pascal, after he put pronouns in his bio as a show of support for his trans sister. Publicly attacking the star of the hugely successful show you somehow landed a part on is exactly the kind of stupid-as-shit career move that leads directly to working for Ben Shapiro.

If you didn’t like Moon Knight that’s your business. doesn’t mean he hasn’t been working.

It hasn’t been a secret that he’s something of an asshole and difficult to work with, but it seems like something acutely bad happened.

Paul is choosing the least bad option. They didn’t really show a lot of other options except for his short speech about seeing the future and their enemies prevailing in so many of them.  He’s choosing the narrow way through that he saw.  I think they did a good job showing how reluctant he is and how he fights it,…

Saga being a Black woman is perfectly integrated into the story and even adds to the story during an early investigation scene.
