Fans are convinced that Moon Knight contains the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first true F-bomb.In the second episode of the Disney+ series, "Summon the Suit," Oscar Isaac's Marc Spector is confronting Steven Grant, one of his alters, through a mirror. After Steven criticizes Marc's methods, the ex-marine takes his anger out on the reflective glass, kicking it to pieces while shouting, "Shut up!" over and over. Fans are convinced that during the angry outburst, Marc drops an F-bomb which some believe has been placed against the sound of the glass shattering to slightly muffle the word.
While some fans are elated that Disney is seemingly embracing some of the gritty elements of Moon Knight's character, the closed captions of the series reveal that Marc's language is clean. The subtitles confirm that the only phrase shouted during the scene is "Shut up," which may disappoint audiences hoping for a definitive F-bomb.
While Moon Knight has yet to include the infamous curse word, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige promised fans that the show will remain true to the comic's gritty, brutal tone. "There are moments [in the series] when Moon Knight is wailing on another character, and it is loud and brutal, and the knee-jerk reaction is, 'We're gonna pull back on this, right?' No. We're not pulling back," said Feige. "There's a tonal shift. This is a different thing. This is Moon Knight."
Moon Knight follows Steven Grant, an unassuming gift shop attendant who discovers that he has Dissociative Identity Disorder. After learning that she shares a body with Marc Spector, Steven is forced to come to terms with the fact that he's also Moon Knight, a supernaturally-power vigilante. Despite these revelations, Steven must also confront Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke), a sinister cult leader that has taken an interest in his unique abilities.
Moon Knight debuted to widespread acclaim from audiences and critics as many praised the show for telling a story that stands apart from the rest of the MCU. While some critics took an issue with the series' occasionally awkward pacing, strong performances from both Isaac and Hawke make for an altogether entertaining superhero series.
Moon Knight is now streaming on Disney+ with new episodes dropping every Wednesday.
