An Infamous Opinion



They Ruined Moon Knight — And Steven Grant Never Deserved This

“This wasn’t Moon Knight. It was Moon Wrong.”



When Marvel announced Moon Knight, fans of the comics felt the hype deep in their bones. We weren’t expecting a crowd-pleaser — we were hoping for something dark, brutal, and unapologetically unhinged. A supernatural Punisher. A violent answer to Daredevil’s raw Catholic guilt. A descent into madness where even gods fear what they’ve created.

Instead, we got a confused tone, a cartoonish main character, and a version of Moon Knight that wouldn’t scare a Disney Channel villain.

And worst of all?

They destroyed Steven Grant.



🧠 Who Was Steven Grant?

Let’s not mince words. In the comics, Steven Grant is a core component of Moon Knight’s shattered psyche — a function, not a gimmick.
• He’s a wealthy businessman, suave and composed.
• He’s Marc’s ticket into high society — the “Bruce Wayne” of the trio.
• He’s useful. Strategic. Intelligent.
• He funds Moon Knight’s war on crime and gives him a legit public mask.
• And when he talks? People listen — because Steven Grant walks into a room like he owns the building.

The comic version of Steven is a refined weapon in Moon Knight’s arsenal — not a safety blanket, not a punchline.



🎭 Who Did We Get?

In Disney’s watered-down take? Steven Grant is:
• A timid, awkward British shop clerk.
• Completely unaware of his condition or purpose.
• Emotionally fragile, socially inept, and constantly stammering.
• A nervous sidekick in his own head.
• A joke.

He’s a different character entirely. They kept the name and threw away everything else.

Why? So Disney could give the audience a “relatable” entry point.
They didn’t trust the character.
They didn’t trust the audience.
And worst of all — they didn’t trust the darkness.



⚖️ Let’s Talk About Daredevil

Remember Daredevil on Netflix? That was how you adapt a dark Marvel character:
• Matt Murdock was morally tormented.
• The fights had weight.
• The villains were terrifying.
• The trauma was real.
• It wasn’t safe. It wasn’t PG. It was damn near sacred.

Moon Knight should’ve followed suit. Instead, we got a goofy tone shift every time Steven appeared on screen. Where Matt Murdock questioned his soul, Steven Grant couldn’t even order dinner.

Marvel had a blueprint. They just ignored it.



🩸 Moon Knight Is Not a Joke

Here’s what comic fans know:
• Marc Spector is a killer turned crusader, haunted by Khonshu and fueled by trauma.
• Steven Grant is the financier — not the fool.
• Jake Lockley is the street-level enforcer who collects dirt and breaks bones.
• Khonshu isn’t a wise-cracking skeleton. He’s a manipulative, alien god that uses Marc like a puppet.
• And Moon Knight? Moon Knight is a monster to monsters. The last thing evil sees before it’s punished.

This isn’t light-hearted Marvel fare. This is the underworld.
And they turned it into a Disney+ drama with a CGI hippo.



👎 They Missed the Point Entirely

Moon Knight isn’t about “quirky alters.”

It’s about what happens when a broken man turns his shattered mind into a weapon.

The comics understood that Marc’s disorder wasn’t just a flaw — it was the very thing that made Moon Knight terrifying. He out-crazied the crazies. He didn’t joke his way through fights. He beat the hell out of the worst humanity had to offer — and scared gods while doing it.

What Disney gave us was a neutered, scared, PG version of schizophrenia filtered through a gift shop employee with a silly accent and zero agency.



🔥 Final Verdict

They took a cult-favorite antihero with the coolest mental health-based mythos in Marvel and turned him into a soft, sanitized shell.
They replaced violence with whimsy.
They replaced tension with jokes.
They replaced Steven Grant with a punchline.

And they had the nerve to call it Moon Knight.



🗯️ Says:

Steven Grant wasn’t “too dark.”
Marc Spector wasn’t “too complex.”
Jake Lockley wasn’t “too risky.”

Marvel just got scared.

And they gave us Moon Knight for babies instead of the brutal, brilliant bastard we deserved

But hey , thats just

An Infamous Opinion: The Five Actresses Who Could Have Rewritten Leia Organa’s Legacy
By
Brendan Philips

The galaxy far, far away is iconic, but let’s be honest: was Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia really the irreplaceable spark of the rebellion? Sure, her performance was memorable, but for a mission so crucial—rescuing a princess to save the galaxy—Leia sometimes felt more like a sarcastic bystander than a truly magnetic leader.

Here’s the real question: could someone else have played Leia better? We’re diving into the what ifs of Hollywood history with five actresses who were poised to bring Leia Organa a gravitas and charm that could’ve elevated her from bossy diplomat to unforgettable rebel icon.

The criteria: actresses who, in or around 1977, had the age and talent to make Leia a force worth saving. These are women who demonstrated the acting chops—either in roles they had done by then or would eventually take on—that show they could have brought unique depth to the princess of Alderaan.

1. Sigourney Weaver

Why She Could’ve Nailed It:
Sigourney Weaver would become synonymous with sci-fi royalty a couple of years later in Alien (1979), portraying the iconic Ellen Ripley. Her ability to command the screen with authority and subtle vulnerability would have made her a natural fit for Princess Leia.

What She’d Bring to Leia:
Weaver’s Leia wouldn’t just talk about rebellion—she’d embody it. Her performance would have balanced cool-headed strategy with moments of emotional resonance, making her the kind of leader people want to rally around. Weaver’s gravitas could have turned Leia into the undisputed heart of the rebellion. Forget arguing with Han—he’d be following her orders without a second thought.

2. Kathleen Turner

Why She Could’ve Nailed It:
Kathleen Turner, with her deep voice, commanding screen presence, and no-nonsense attitude, would later dominate films like Body Heat (1981) and Romancing the Stone (1984). Her natural charisma could have added a fiery edge to Leia’s character.

What She’d Bring to Leia:
Turner’s Leia would have turned up the heat in Star Wars. She could have taken Leia’s sarcastic energy and infused it with a smoldering confidence, creating a character who doesn’t just spar with Han but owns every scene they share. Her Leia would have been both sultry and commanding—a princess who doesn’t ask for respect but demands it effortlessly.

3. Kirstie Alley

Why She Could’ve Nailed It:
Before becoming a household name in Cheers and taking on the role of Saavik in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982), Kirstie Alley had already demonstrated a knack for blending sarcasm with vulnerability.

What She’d Bring to Leia:
Alley’s natural wit would have made Leia’s sharp tongue more likable and less abrasive. Her version of Leia could have brought a playful energy to the rebellion while still exuding confidence. Alley’s Leia wouldn’t have just barked orders—she’d have made it clear she was smarter than anyone in the room. Her banter with Han Solo would have been electric, and she’d likely steal the spotlight every time.

4. Beverly D’Angelo

Why She Could’ve Nailed It:
By 1977, Beverly D’Angelo was already making waves with her scene-stealing charm and wit. She’d later shine in National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983), where her comedic timing and charisma made her unforgettable.

What She’d Bring to Leia:
D’Angelo’s Leia would have been less stiff and more naturally charming. Her street-smart energy and playful demeanor could have brought a refreshing twist to the role. Instead of bossing Han Solo around, she’d disarm him with a smirk and a clever line. D’Angelo’s portrayal would have made Leia a character who doesn’t just lead by authority but wins allies with wit and warmth.

5. Sissy Spacek

Why She Could’ve Nailed It:
Fresh off her Oscar-nominated performance in Carrie (1976), Sissy Spacek had already proven her ability to bring vulnerability and intensity to the screen. Her understated style and emotional depth could have transformed Leia into a more complex and relatable figure.

What She’d Bring to Leia:
Spacek’s Leia would have been a quieter, more emotionally layered leader. Instead of relying on sarcasm, her performance could have added a sense of inner conflict and resilience, making the stakes of the rebellion feel more personal. Her interactions with Han and Luke would have carried more emotional weight, creating a Leia who felt genuinely human in the face of galactic conflict.

The Final Word: A Galaxy of Possibilities

Carrie Fisher will forever be Princess Leia, but reimagining the role in the hands of these talented actresses offers a fascinating “what if.” Each of these women could have brought something unique to Leia—whether it was Weaver’s commanding presence, Turner’s sultry fire, Alley’s sharp wit, D’Angelo’s charm, or Spacek’s emotional depth.

Would the galaxy have been better off with a different Leia? That’s a debate for the ages. But one thing’s for sure: with any of these actresses in the role, we might not even be asking if Leia was worth saving—we’d already be on our way to Alderaan.

What do you think? Would one of these alternate Leias have stolen the show—or does Fisher’s portrayal remain unbeatable? Sound off, but keep the stormtroopers out of it.

# # # Hypothetical Battle Analysis

1. **Initial Confrontation:**
- **Team 1's strategy:** Martian Manhunter uses telepathy to gain a tactical advantage. Green Lantern creates constructs for defense and attack. Superman and Shazam go for brute force attacks. Red Tornado creates disruptive air currents.
- **Team 2's strategy:** Thor and Sentry team up for massive area attacks, using Mjolnir and Sentry's energy manipulation. Blue Marvel and Hyperion use combined strength to engage the toughest opponents. Gladiator's confidence is key to overpowering foes.
- **Team 3's strategy:** The Plutonian and Ikaris use telepathy and energy projection for ranged attacks. Omni-Man, Homelander, and Icon focus on close combat with brutal strength.

2. **Mid-Battle:**
- **Team 1:** Martian Manhunter's telepathy starts disrupting Team 3's mental stability, targeting the Plutonian and Homelander. Superman and Shazam engage Thor and Hyperion in intense battles. Green Lantern and Red Tornado provide versatile support.
- **Team 2:** Sentry's reality manipulation creates chaos, but his instability is targeted by Martian Manhunter. Thor holds his own against Superman, and Blue Marvel uses his intellect and strength strategically.
- **Team 3:** Omni-Man and Icon focus on taking out Red Tornado and Green Lantern. The Plutonian's mental state deteriorates under Martian Manhunter's influence. Homelander struggles with emotional manipulation.

3. **Final Moments:**
- **Team 1:** Green Lantern, using his ring's versatility, supports Superman and Shazam in overpowering Team 2's brute force. Martian Manhunter's telepathy weakens Team 3 significantly.
- **Team 2:** Gladiator's confidence falters against Superman's unwavering strength. Sentry's instability causes him to lose focus, becoming a liability.
- **Team 3:** Omni-Man and Icon are formidable but outmatched by Martian Manhunter's strategic telepathy and Superman's raw power. The Plutonian and Homelander are incapacitated due to mental attacks.

# # # Conclusion
**Winner: Team 1**
- **Reason:** Team 1's combination of raw power (Superman and Shazam), versatile abilities (Green Lantern), and strategic telepathy (Martian Manhunter) proves too much for the other teams. Martian Manhunter's ability to exploit the mental weaknesses of key opponents (like the Plutonian and Sentry) shifts the battle in favor of Team 1. Additionally, Superman's resilience and Shazam's magical strength give them the edge in prolonged combat.

Each team member of Team 1 plays a crucial role in incapacitating the opponents, ensuring their victory and the subsequent acquisition of new powers.
