1. Moon Knight Should Have First Debuted In a Movie

Why moon knight would have worked better as a film — Moon Knight

Unlike other major Marvel series leads on Disney+, Moon Knight was not established in the movies first. This is a disadvantage. While on the one hand, the long-form nature of the episodes gives more room to do character and story building, this also leads to problems with story pacing. The show has a lot to offer, and we think it would be best experienced with a higher degree of immersion, which a movie provides. The weekly episodes are too far apart. The story told in a single-full-length movie would be better.

The lead actor, Oscar Isaac, is well established and popular. He has shown his talent in well-received movies like, Inside Llewyn Davis. He could have starred in a movie based on the same story. However, that was not to be the case.

2. A Movie Budget Could Have Enhanced Many Things

The costumes in this series are good, but they could certainly be better when financed by a movie budget. A big movie budget would have enhanced the whole experience with better VFX and other technical things. Money buys the services of good talent, and good talent in all aspects of a movie makes it great to watch. While things are not bad with the series, they could have been much, much better when done in the form of a movie.
