2025-02-02 01:24:18 +0000 UTCGreat reaction! As to your question about knowing if Steven was the original or not Most comic fans knew Marc was the original (Moon Knight is from the 70s but the DID was added later by other writers. So at the time he was only Marc Spector). But it was still great to see how they executed the reveal Episode 5 is my favourite due to how emotional it was

2025-02-01 07:21:14 +0000 UTCThe brother's death was 100% the fault of the parents. It was already starting to rain before they left, and who let's their young children go explore a cave unsupervised? You had a much more charitable view on the parents than I did, though that might stem from not having great parents myself. The mother yelling that it was Marc's fault at the funeral could have been excusable due to grief, but to carry on abusing him for the rest of her life... There's no excuse for that. Shame on the father as well for not protecting his son.

2025-02-01 06:48:09 +0000 UTCIt seemed clear to me that Marc was the original because he knew so much more about their past.

2025-02-01 05:29:17 +0000 UTCOscar got his real-life brother Michael on the show as a stand-in. Whenever Oscar was portraying Marc, Michael would portray Steven and vice versa. Then the post-production team worked their magic. Oscar did a lot of research on DID before going into this show. That included reading a book called A Fractured Mind. Author Robert Oxnam revealed in the book that he had eight alters living with him that he didn’t know about until he was in his 40’s. I joined my sister for her first time watching this show. I especially wanted her to watch this episode because I wanted her input about the show’s take on mental health. We paused this episode twice to talk about what was going on, but the second pause had sparked a conversation that went on for about half an hour. We talked about mental health in general because we both deal with our own struggles and know people who also struggle. She also helped me clarify who Marc was talking to when he said “I won’t give you that satisfaction.” I figured he was saying that to his father Elias because the latter wanted his son to grieve with him, but my sister said it made more sense he would be saying that to his mom Wendy because from Marc’s point of view she doesn’t deserve to be mourned after all the torment she inflicted. The reason why I say Marc was saying that to Elias was because even though he didn’t take part in the abuse the fact that he didn’t do anything about it makes him just as responsible as Wendy for the DID. By the way, Marc is Jewish in the comics as well. The comic version of his father was a Czechoslovakian rabbi. He was also the cause of Marc’s trauma.
