An Artifact in Moon Knight May Hold a Connection to the Wider MCU

Here’s a Moon Knight concept about Harrow’s Ammit-headed cane and the way it may tie into different components of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As the sluggish burn of the Disney+ present kicks into gear and for probably the most half stands by itself when it comes to world-building, we couldn’t assist however discover this small element.

Now, Ammit is the crocodile-headed goddess of divine retribution and a devourer of souls. Throughout every episode we’ve seen of Moon Knight, Arthur Harrow and his disciples work towards Marc Spector/Steven Grant to deliver this deity again, hoping to deliver a few mass judgment over humanity. In earlier episodes when Harrow pre-judges, he absorbs the life power of these the scales deem unhealthy (allegedly). It additionally glows purple and breaks open a purple portal from which he summons jackals to do his bidding.

What’s curious is how this purple power has been a standard thread on this part of MCU storytelling, and particularly its connection to legendary objects. This may very well be a method for beings from different realms to cross over. Maybe even gods like Ammit, or say… a sure god butcher we’ll see in Thor: Love and Thunder. Before we get forward of ourselves let’s atone for the place we’ve seen this purple power weave its method across the MCU.

Most not too long ago, in Spider-Man: No Way Home when Peter interrupts Dr. Strange’s spell, purple cracks type throughout them. Wong did warn them, “That spell travels the dark borders between known and unknown realities, it’s too dangerous” earlier than they bought to casting. And we all know no quantity of magic stucco stopped issues from coming via.

In WandaVision, it’s tethered to the Darkhold in Agatha Harkness’ basement in Westview. After her huge reveal, we discover out she absorbs powers together with her purple magic, and he or she additionally drains the power of others, just like the coven she as soon as belonged to, with a purpose to attain energy. In Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Shang’s father Wenwu hears a voice coming from the rings that mimics his spouse, asking him to free her from a hell-like jail in Ta-Lo. Eventually, we discover out the Dweller in Darkness has tricked him into releasing it and its soul-devouring demons.

All these darkish objects act as a conduit for sinister beings to take the life forces or powers of others, whether or not via beings from past or human avatars. In retrospect, Agatha may have completely been an avatar for whoever she was serving (no we received’t say their identify). It actually appears doable that the massive unhealthy right here may tie into the evils of what’s behind the scenes on this part of the MCU. And whereas Oscar Isaac isn’t contracted to return to the MCU, Moon Knight may find yourself serving a task in what’s to return.

Moon Knight has two extra episodes to go, Wednesdays on Disney+.
