Moon Knight, the Marvel miniseries on Disney+ starring Oscar Isaac, debuted again in 2022, however Hideo Kojima is simply getting round to watching it. A identified cinephile, it’s no shock Kojima would have the present on his backlog, and now we have now been handled to a signature prolonged X (previously Twitter) put up detailing his ideas. Whereas he says a good bit, the spotlight is his reward of Oscar Isaac, who he calls “pathetic and unattractive” within the present, clarifying that it is a “good factor.”
Kojima says he’s holding out to look at everything of the sequence till it releases on Blu-ray. We stan a king who loves bodily media, so fingers crossed that Disney does one other spherical of bodily releases for a few of its streaming exhibits. However he has watched the primary episode of the sequence on Disney+. This comes after solely not too long ago becoming a member of the service with the intention to watch his personal documentary, Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds, which is now out there to stream on Disney+.
General Kojima shares that he’s an enormous fan of the present, which he couldn’t wait to look at due to his love of Oscar Isaac, who additionally occurs to be set to tackle the function of Stable Snake in a Metallic Gear Stable film that’s at present caught in growth hell. “That is so authentic! The paintings, the world, the course, the pacing! It’s in contrast to any hero film I’ve ever seen,” writes Kojima. “Above all, the primary character, Stephen, is lonely and weak.” Kojima then goes on to say “I had by no means imagined such a pathetic and unattractive Oscar Isaac. However that is the nice factor. Oscar Isaac succeeds in taking up this tough function.”
He’s so proper to say it! Isaac is the lynchpin of Moon Knight, which has a twisting narrative centered round protagonist Steven and his a number of personas. Isaac manages to present distinctive definition to every side of Steven, particularly the “pathetic” facet that makes the flip to violent vigilante a lot extra enjoyable to look at. I sit up for listening to extra about Kojima’s ideas on Moon Knight when he does end the sequence, and hopefully earlier than then a second season of the present will likely be introduced. Till then, possibly Kojima and Isaac can meet up and scan Isaac’s face to make him a personality in Dying Stranding 2. I’m pondering we name his character Pathetic and Unattractive Man.
