Progressive
Primary
The series leans left through its empathetic and destigmatizing portrayal of Dissociative Identity Disorder and its critique of authoritarian pre-emptive justice, aligning with progressive values of mental health awareness and individual liberty within its broader narrative.
The series features significant diversity in its casting, including the portrayal of a traditionally white comic book character by an actor of Latin American descent and the introduction of a prominent Egyptian character. The narrative respectfully integrates Egyptian culture and mythology, and while it includes subtle critiques of certain power dynamics, it does not explicitly frame traditional identities negatively.
Secondary
The show features Layla El-Faouly, who, after gaining powers as the Scarlet Scarab, engages in and wins multiple physical combat encounters against male cultists and soldiers. She utilizes a melee weapon and enhanced physical abilities to defeat her opponents.
Marc Spector, canonically a white Ashkenazi Jewish character in the comics, is portrayed by Oscar Isaac, an actor of Guatemalan and Cuban descent. This constitutes a change in the character's established racial and ethnic identity.
Moon Knight does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative primarily focuses on Marc Spector's dissociative identity disorder, his role as Khonshu's avatar, and his relationship with Layla El-Faouly, without exploring queer identities or experiences.
Moon Knight does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on dissociative identity disorder, Egyptian mythology, and superhero action, without incorporating transgender identities or experiences into its plot or character arcs.
All major characters in Moon Knight, including Marc Spector, Khonshu, and Arthur Harrow, maintain their established genders from the source material. Layla El-Faouly is an original character created for the show, not a gender-swapped adaptation of an existing male character.
