I enjoyed E5 - it appealed to the psychology grad in me. Oscar's performance switching back and forth between characters was solid.
As for the finale, I didn't expect it to go all Kaiju but was glad of that. There was a nice one-er fight scene sequence with Oscar and the twin batons.
I'm not sure I understood what happened in the end, even less so with the end of credits scene. It didn't quite come together for me.
It's the weakest of the D+MCU so far, but it did have some merit for walking like an egyptian. I liked Tawaret a lot.
The Scarlet Scarab struck me as too derivative of WW84 and not very Scarlet, especially in contrast to the Scarlet Witch in DSitMoM (not a spoiler - she's on the poster).
I also appreciated that it didn't rely upon MCU easter eggs and had little connection to MCU Phase 4, or any MCU for that matter. That's the MCU ace card up the sleeve, and without that, MK came off mediocre, but I admire the attempt to try and break away from the formula, even though it fails. Go back to the formula. I want to see Thor in MK S2.
Not D00M recommended, except for MCU-fanboy Greg, just for the pleasure of hearing him dis this.
