  • Marc Spector is a man who's been shattered into 4 separate identities who come together to become the hooded crusader of vengeance: The Moon Knight.
    Steven Grant: Intrepid millionaire stockbroker, taking down organized crime from the top of the ladder. Jake Lockley: Late night taxi driver who listens to the chatter of guilty as means of gathering intel. Marc Spector: Retired mercenary and seeking revenge. Moon Knight: a mask-dawning punisher of the night.
    Caden Butera, the writer and director of the fan film, says “I, along with all the other Moon Knight fans out there, have been dying for the character to get his debut on the big screen. He’s such an awesome & complex character; I hope one day he’ll hit the limelight of the MCU.” Director Caden Butera, along with a skeleton crew of passionate fans of the character, came together to make this film for existing fans of Moon Knight and to hopefully spark new ones.

      I kind of like the costume designs in fan films, because just think about it if you just got superpowers is one of those powers going to make you a master tailor? Probably not you'll probably make yourself a costume out of whatever you can, maybe you could look up tutorials or something but chances are it won't be the best, kind of like how Spiderman in a lot of versions starts out with just a red Skii mask or something, or how in the Netflix series Daredevil just wears black clothes. Just makes it feel more grounded which in turn makes the fan films more believable, at least in my opinion.

    • @ricosuave6898
      @ricosuave6898 Před 5 lety +24

      My sentiments exactly. The original costume looks amazing on the printed page, but it would be very hard to bring an outfit like that to the screen in a way that didn't look silly. The Mr. Knight outfit however would be far easier and visually fantastic. It would also have the added bonus of not inhibiting the actor's mobility. Not to mention how it would really bring home the point about liking the way the blood looks splashed across it.

    Moon Knight has probably been my favorite superhero for the better part of 40 years. I thought you tackled his multiple personalities very well. It felt like a spot-on representation of the character. And the internal dialogue-not only a great narrative device, but also felt like things the character would be thinking. Bushman? Loved it. Somebody build a Netflix series out of this rivalry. My ONLY grip is the costume. Like I said, I’ve been a fan since probably 1981 or 1982, and I’m a big fan of the costume(s) he’s worn over his career. As such, this really didn’t work for me. I’m sorry. It just doesn’t. The mask was too big, and made him look more like a B-movie “Predator”, and I really didn’t think the black trenchcoat matched his persona. That’s just my personal gripes about the whole thing-and they’re minor. But, again, I think you did an outstanding job of capturing the essence of the character (from personality right down to the fighting style), and the tone of so many of his stories. Great work overall!

      Nailed all my thoughts almost exactly. I remember the first moon knight I read in the early 80’s and thinking, “Is he a good guy or a bad guy? I think this guy is insane.” It’s hard to make such a drastic costume change from white to black like that but fortune favors the bold as they say.
      I respect taking the chance on the costume color change but I would have dropped it like a bag of hammers as soon as I saw it myself.
      Exceptional job otherwise!

    Not a huge fan of the overall costume and the way it limits the actor/stunt guy's movement, but that mask is top shelf. The crescent blades, which I'm not familiar with from the comics, are a very smart blend of the crescent darts and his old school cestus gloves. If that was your idea, it was a good one. I don't think it will be too much longer before Marvel gives us a big budget MK in some form (probably not the muderrific incarnation from this film, but that's OK) thanks to fan projects like this driving interest.

      @VioletMoonfox Před 5 lety +1

      It will be difficult for Marvel Studios to pull off a Moon Knight anything. That's the main thing small, fan-made productions like this have the liberty of with this character.
      There's a list of reasons, but the main one comes to a single issue: MK's mental state. To properly translate the Moon Knight in a way authentic to the character, this *must* be addressed, however it is a touchy subject to display out there. Even Snyder toned down Rorschach, if only a bit. You could go with the family revenge motive to steer away from the insanity a bit, but then that just makes him seem like another Punisher. Likely this character's mental instability, and then have him kill several people will make it automatically never get a movie directly from the studio (especially with how touchy people are today). There is a possibility that Netflix could pick it up and keep it in line with their other dark Marvel products, but they'd have to do a lot to differentiate it from the Punisher in the view of people who don't read the comics. (To them, to quote a friend of mine who I explained the premise of MK to once, he is a "not rich batman that dresses in white, but goes around killing like the punisher.")

    I felt like I was watching the opening scene to John Wick 2 in some very similar way, which I’m meaning and hoping be taken as a compliment!Since that was one of the best opening/amazing movies! Very well done on visuals and I especially thought you did an amazing job on the fine details like the screw sticking out of the wall etc.

    Awesome job,guys! I love Moon Knight and this movie captures him perfectly. The mid-credits scene was great,too. Introducing Bushman at the end like that leaves you wanting more,just like the MCU movies do with their mid or post-credit scenes. The music was perfect and really gave it like a horror tone and the voiceover captured that grittiness that's a part of the Moon Knight comic itself. I just loved it and I can't wait to see a sequel.

  • @khaygiel
    @khaygiel Před 4 lety +4

    Wow, I loved this. I've always thought Moon Knight would be perfect for a Netflix show or a darker MCU film, and you really captured the tone here. The only bone I have to pick has to do with the costume, though I know other people have pointed it out- he wears white because he wants to be the one people see coming. Color aside, I like the redesign of the outfit itself to suit someone who fights on the streets a bit more by changing the cape to a coat, etc. Overall I think that if Marvel ever does a Moon Knight movie, they should consult you.

    • @tonyham2157
      @tonyham2157 Před 4 lety

      I agree to a great extent. I think of Moon Knight more as silver than white, and in adapting to film there are ways to keep certain lines intact from the comics by reworking them, say instead of 'wears white because he wants them to see him coming', say 'why so bright' and the idea is the same. I see this as something akin to Daredevil's outfit in Season 1 and 3 of Netflix show and it works well in street fight. The more complex high tech stuff comes later. I see Moon Knight also as a living blade and that would work on screen much the same, since he pulls out the crescent blades in the fight. Good stuff.

  • @sigmacademy
    @sigmacademy Před 5 lety +2

    I love the placement of the internal dialogue of the character separately from the action sequences. It allows the viewer to pay 100% attention to what is being said when there's dialogue in the fights, vs the mental conversation that illustrates the character's frame of mind and thoughts as he gathers information. Also, the multiple personalities was also a very nice graphic, as it shows you all his personalities side by side for comparison and allowing one to clearly see the differences between each of them in a scene that was perfectly timed, both in length and coloring. :)

    • @sigmacademy
      @sigmacademy Před 5 lety

      All the other elements were also very well placed - setting, characterization, motivation (not too much, not too little), theme and plot - all just enough to make the short interesting, but not give away anything critical. The "baddies" are sufficiently evil so that you don't feel bad for their suffering their fate, but you also understand the place where the "good guy" is coming from, so the damage being dealt doesn't seem over the top, absurd or contrived like in some other shorts online. If a full-length film or series can be made in the same style, I can easily see it being well received. :)

    • @sigmacademy
      @sigmacademy Před 5 lety +1

      The only place where you could have possibly have improved this short in any way would have been if you show that guy with his cigarette, then having those "LED" eyes light up in the darkness behind them before being pulled into the darkness.
