History Series / MoonKnight2022

* DarkerAndEdgier: Just from the trailers alone, the series stars a man who goes through hallucinations and has PsychologicalHorror themes as he embraces the chaos that comes with being the vessel of Khonshu. Generally speaking, past trailers for MCU Creator/DisneyPlus series focused on a balance of light humor and comic-booky set pieces, compared to the moodier atmosphere here.

* SpiritualAdaptation: The trailer looks like something out of ''Franchise/SilentHill,'' due to the PsychologicalHorror aspects, Steven being an everyman character, a mystery cult being the BigBad of the series and the use of a SplitPersonality. The scene of a giant monster chasing ater Steven down a hallway is reminiscent of Pyramid Head chasing James Sunderland from ''Silent Hill 2'', elevator included. Steven's career in working at a museum gift-shop isn't that different as James Sunderland being a clerk.
