MOON KNIGHT Writer Reveals Marvel Studios' Take On The Hero Left Him Saying, "Oh Sh*t, I Want To Watch That"

@Kevwebsz - I see people say stuff like this and I wonder if they actually read the comics. Moon Knight does not need to be rated R. The one big thing that people point to from his comic runs as R-material was (A) mostly silly and gratuitous, and (B) meant to demonstrate even to him that he had gone too far and was lost in a cycle of unending unsustainable violence.

Moon Knight is so much more than "Batman-that-kills". His background as a faithless mercenary converted to an enthusiastic zealot of an obscure god, his vacillation between dutiful adherence to Khonshu and crises of faith when faced with difficulty, his Fisher-Price® playset of a life where he gets to pretend to be three or four dudes and put together one of the most ridiculously Bronze Age supporting casts in comics, and then add to that genuine exploration of all of this discontinuity on the psyche of a guy who (when you set aside his deeds) is actually pretty unremarkable and damaged.

None of that story needs blood or tits or "[frick]s" to tell.

@Necropolitan - fanboys tend to exaggerate a lot in these cases. I remember some people calling Joker "graphic" and "brutal" despite having like three or four relatively tame kills in the whole movie.
Moon Knight will do just fine within a PG13 camp, good writers and filmmakers know how to get around rating limitations.

@Spidey91 - All these weirdo "comic fans" swear every comic story has horror movie level of violence and curse words to be good, it's so strange when Marvel has proved time and time again they don't yet people think R Rating is necessary to tell a mature story when in fact, alot of times, it only does the opposite. Punisher War Zone was a hard R and it was pure garbage.
