According to Samba TV, the premiere ofMoon Knightdrew in 1.8 million household views, which ties withFalcon and the Winter Soldier’s first episode. Both shows fall short of bestingMarvel Studios' ownLoki, which debuted with 2.5 million household views.WandaVisionis not too far behindMoon Knightwith 1.6 million viewers tuning in for its debut, whileHawkeyeearned1.5 million viewers upon its premiere. It may be worth noting that Samba TV’s figures are far from official, as they only collect data from 3 million households.
Moon Knightis worth watching for those looking for a way intothe Marvel Cinematic Universe, as it will be serving as a character study as opposed to a big blockbuster spectacle. The series doesn’t rely on past MCU knowledge, so it’ll be easy to follow, and for many people, this is the daunting task of getting into Marvel. There are a lot of films to watch, and for many, that’s all it takes to not get on board. Some fans only watch the films that catch their eyes, while others want to see everything from the beginning.
Fortunately, all the films are all in one place, and they take their time with releases, so fans generally have time to catch up on everything they missed. Most of the films also rely mainly on their own story during the earlier phases, but the upcomingDoctor Strange 2looks to be connectinga lot of movies together for what’s expected to be a big spectacle.
