All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.
Yeah, she's probably gonna bust them out of Duat as a favor to Khonsu. And then the 3rd personality gonna get barbaric on the cultists.
The existence of this is almost an interesting coincidence.
I never been a huge fan of the Jane foster Thor comic, but of all the big switch things they did around 2015 - 2018, Foster Thor was one of the better ones, (with X-23 as Wolverine being the best in my opinion). My girlfriend was big into the Jane Foster Thor run she is very curious if the MCU will go down the whole Cancer route, which would be pretty cool if they do.
Foster Thor always had the same impact as Thor did, never liked their solo stuff but always loved when they were with other people. Like the Avengers or making special appearances. I doubt this show will make me see Foster Thor any differently only that I thought it was pretty cool seeing her in live action form and looking very faithful to the comic.

STRONG doubts. In the comics, Foster's cancer diagnosis was established way before the Thor arc, so they got to get into cool ideas like "Having the Power of Thor means she can withstand her cancer, but it also blasts all poisons out of her system, including her chemotherapy drugs, so Foster's temporarily fine while she's holding the power but it's actually killing her faster". In the MCU, she's basically just a girl Thor kinda had a thing with for a bit. Her friend Darcy's practically more relevant to the MCU right now than Foster is, until whatever's going on in Love and Thunder happens. If they wanted to do the cancer bit, they'd have to spend all the time in this film to establish the cancer, give it to settle in for the audience, and then give her the hammer, and that's A> too rushed, B> will fall flat because we've all seen her Thored up already in the teasers/trailers, and C> is a LOT of time spent on Foster in a movie that sure seems to have a lot going on that doesn't revolve around her, specifically.
Yeah, In the comics, Moon Knight's "main" personalities have been Mark Spector(the badass mercenary, and usually the one in control when he's actually in costume as Moon Knight), Steven Grant(the rich Bruce Wayne style playboy), and Jake Locksley(a cab driver, frequently used for unobtrusive recon and intel gathering). Sometimes there are others, depending on writer, but those 3 have been his main personas through most of his runs.
This episode was real good and nuts
ITs a bummer that we still didn't saw Jake fully, with the others, he appear briefly when they sedated him, but thats it, i though for sure they needed to open his sarcophagus to balance the hearts...
Also rip Steven for now.
concering Moonknight
I kind of think it wasn't Steven who got 'killed', but Jake. Steven freaked out and I think that is also how Jake started existing when they were young. Jake is the one who takes over when Steve is pushed over the limit, like on the ship when he bashed the dead guy's "skull" in with the bat.
I also strongly doubt that whoever it really was that got pulled over the rails is actually gone. The three are one and the same person and if one survives, all of them do. Maybe that personality isn't able to take over against the others' wishes anymore in the future or something like that
And, i ahve to praise Oscar Isaac for his acting this show, dude is doing amazing making the two distinct personalities and voices, he wa son fire this episode.
I though that too, which make me questions, why they didn't, it would make perfectly sense to why the scales never set
Now i wonder how the hell they will wrap this one with one episode left, and for sure its going to be another season, i think its prob the best show yet on top with the falchon and winter soldier.
What If? was always "canon", just not Sacred Timeline canon. Even in the comics, the What If? stuff was always happening somewhere, in some generally-unspecified timeline. The multiverse is so wacky that you get universes like Earth-8311, where Spider-Ham is from, where everyone is like Spider-Ham; Looney-Tunesy animated anthropomorphic animals. Earth-8311's universe is just as "canon" as any other, from an outside perspective.
I think there's some more-important factors that are implied, and stated outright, but in ways that aren't immediately obvious what they're actually saying;
First, Steven "died". I doubt it was Jake because they've shown no ability to "switch" while in this space. But regardless, that's not what's IMPORTANT What's IMPORTANT is that they A> had a heart, to be measured, and B> could "die", separate from Marc.
This is the (an) afterlife. We're not talking about BODIES, we're talking about SOULS. If Steven was just a figment, he wouldn't be "real", and we'd be dealing with one (broken) soul. But apparently, Steven can "die" in an afterlife where souls get consumed, and he got embodied separately as well. Maybe it's Khonshu's meddling, but I think Steven dying means this isn't just mental illness. There'd just be the one heart on the scales, if that were the case.
Second, and this is particularly freaky given the above; they made a really big deal about the moment Marc "imagined" Steven into existence. If Marc could "imagine" Steven into existence once, HE COULD DO IT AGAIN. Admittedly, apparently did, with Jake, but we don't have a full reveal on that yet. What if this next time wasn't an accidental outcome of trauma, but an intentional choice? It's a hell of a lot easier in this space to see Steven as "real", given that they could actually hug each other.
Also, regarding Taweret: She's a childbirth/fertility goddess. It's kinda weird as hell she's manning the ship to the Afterlife. I think we can assume Anubis got statued at some point and someone had to step up, but why Taweret, specifically, in terms of this particular narrative? But, we've got a dude who's "birthing" new identities out of his own head. Seems like the kind of thing she might actually have some influence over. But that's a way deeper dive and assumes there's some greater meaning other than "super cute hippo-girl CGI".
There is so much footage around that we can already predict the entire movie.
There was one confirming it will be called "illuminati", and Mordor supreme, Captain marvel and Xavier will be leaders, i doubt there isn't going to be an iron man version with so many ultron bots going around, and i don't think is ultron-vision
Well, Canon is tricky.
Captain Carter is Canon to that Universe, Canon to the Multiverse, but not Canon to any specific universe other than the one in which she originates.
Sort of like Andrew and Tobey's Spider-Men.
Maguire's Spider-Man universe is designated Earth-96283 and Garfield's Spider-Man is from Earth-120703. So all the events from their individual film series are canon to those specific universes and to the multiverse as a whole... but not to Earth-199999 specifically (The MCU's "main" universe).
By the same logic, everything that has happened in Earth-616 is also canon to the Multiverse. Hell, there's even universes where both Marvel and DC characters co-exist...so, technically, one can even consider DC to be Marvel Canon and vice-versa.

Your name will carry on through generations, and will never be forgotten.
I have no clue how they are supposed to resolve everything in only one episode.
They might . . . not? Maybe this is one of the cases where they're planning on multiple seasons, like Loki. Maybe S1 of Moon Knight is everything going to hell, as we've seen, followed by Harrow "winning", but Marc coming to terms with himselves, ready for Round 2 as a now-freed Ammut starts gearing up for the apocalypse. S2 could open with a now-focused Marc/Steven/Jake triumvirate cooperating consciously to get Khonshu released so they can get back to work.
All the above is rampant speculation and thus I'm not putting any of that in spoilers.
