The Disney corporate synergy we need.

For real, though, Stephanie Beatriz as Ghost Rider would be awesome as hell, so that's how I know it won't happen.

There are multiple female Ghost Riders. There are at least 16 different versions of Ghost Rider - including periods where Hulk, The Punisher, and Spiderman were the Ghost Rider.

When you are running weekly stories for 40 years, you are going to end up hitting nearly every possible plot point sooner or later.

There was a woman Ghost Rider (Alejandra Jones, no relation to Johnny Blaze) for nine issues in 2011-2012. She then disappeared for several years before getting killed off in 2019's Absolute Carnage crossover. So pretty easy to miss!

Also what LT2012 said, technically there have been a ton of Ghost Riders, many of them female, since two of the biggest moves of modern comics is either revealing "this name has been used by heroes for a million years, part of a rich legacy dating back to the dawn of man!" or "what if a million alternate universe [heroes] were forced to team up and/or fight?"

Man, I thought the 16 I remembered was pretty close to the actual answer, but it looks like there have been 71 canonical different Ghost Riders.

Plus 31, joke/non-canonical/spinoff versions of Ghost Rider.

Since you've seen the first 4 episodes, do you know what the deal is with some reviewers saying Moon Knight is great, but episode 4 ruins it and another group of reviewers saying those people are crazy?

Is there some potentially controversial decision in episode 4 or is it just Internet people being Internet people.

I wouldn't really have doubted there'd been one or more female Ghost Riders for brief periods in the past, even if I didn't know any of them specifically due to my very slight knowledge of the character; but Jenna Blaze was just me genderbending the name Johnny Blaze to fit what Marvel could do to have a female lead Ghost Rider in the MCU while still technically using Johnny Blaze. Or at least, using his story and the essence of him as a character.

Internet people. There is something in episode 4 that would be pretty nuts/frustrating (but not outside of the realm of being in a Moon Knight comic) if it was the ending but it's obviously a predicament Moon Knight has to get out of.

Apparently D+ has retroactively censored some of the violence out of Falcon and the Winter Soldier, specifically stuff like when Bucky pins a woman to a crate by throwing a pole through her shoulder, now it just bounces off.

The physical comedy of him trying to twist his arm around to give Ethan Hawke the scarab was really good. This shadowy organization has more operatives than Hydra, though! They're everywhere!

At this point I think Marvel hired goons just split their hours between Hydra/AIM/the Ten Rings/Dreykov/Kingpin/Ethan Hawke. There's probably an app for it.

I dunno, it makes sense that the big shadowy egyptian cult would have some assets in one of the world's most notable museums.

Also, that ending bit with actual Moon Knight just feeding that jackal mummy the floor while it frantically tries to escape was excellent.

I really wanted to like that first episode, but there was too much holding it back for me. Quips at inappropriate times and overbearing use of music are the main offenders, as per usual. I also really don't like that the disembodied voices are used for comedy. :( Oscar Isaac did an incredible job, of course, and I think the overall story construction did a good job of setting up Steven Grant's utter confusion.
