Now what Moon Knight is about to arrive and Disney Plus is already officially announcing it on its platform streamingwe have been able to know the official age rating you have received. And the truth is that, seeing what they have finally given him, it is likely that many of his fans will not like him. We tell you why and what that qualification implies for the character and the development of the series.
We already officially know the age rating of the series Moon Knight on the Disney Plus platform.
And the truth is that, for the most fans of the so-called “Marvel’s Batman”, the news has not been good and we tell you the implications that this has.
Moon Knight has been rated TV-14, what does it mean?
With the TV-14 ratingwhich implies that the recommended viewing age is 14 and up and “parental supervision is strongly recommended”, Moon Knight joins the group of other Disney Plus Marvel series, such as Loki, Wandavision or Falcon and the winter soldier.
That has been a small jug of cold water for some of the character’s most diehard fans, because it implies that the series is suitable for almost all audiences and the darker nuances of Moon Knight. Let us remember that, in the comics, the initial intention is for him to be a villain and the qualification that we could give him is often that of anti-hero, rather than hero.
Or said more easily for all of us to understand, that we can forget that be a new dead pool.
The truth is that this makes the character take away quite the edge and the shadows that have characterized him in the comics.
Although some of us expected that, according to some images of the trailer (like when you are beating an already fallen enemy with a beating on the ground or with the treatment of his mental disorder), we had a more adult approach, the truth is that we had not had too many illusions either.
Disney was not going to risk it, and more so with television.
Let us remember that, in fact, the first attempt to buy Marvel ended in frustration. The reason was that the superhero brand was too on the edge for a company as familiar as Disney.
A decaf Moon Knight? What you are going to miss because of that rating
In practice, and regardless of which comic book storylines you decide to take as inspiration, a TV-14 rating means you can go on forgetting to see some of the darker “best moments” on screen. Moon Knight.
Moments like these:
- The most gruesome deaths it causes Moon Knight. which is not him Punisher, but almost. In fact, he is more sadistic. Impale a classic enemy like bushman in a machine gunbefore slashing his face again I don’t think he’ll appear in any episode, really.
- Mark their enemies on the forehead disfiguring them with the crescent moon, in order to inspire fear in criminals.
- Join the secret Society of Sadists in order to track down his uncle, who is a former Nazi and a serial killer.
- On one occasion, his investigations lead him to a nursing home where a catatonic resident has mentally manipulated people into murder. Your solution of it? Pull the plug on the machine that keeps you alive without batting an eyeletting him slowly die.
- Consider the possibility of kill an innocent little girl to save his own daughter. For that, he lets his most violent personality do it, Jake Lockley, who advances towards the girl, but, finally, he cannot do it.
Yeah, we definitely don’t think, with this age rating, we’re going to see all the faces of Moon Knight in the comics. Now it only remains to be seen if leaving it decaf is offset by a good story.
