After a big game TV spot was released during this years’ Super Bowl which showed more of the titular character embracing the chaos within him, Moon Knight finally got its television rating and it received a 14A or TV-14. What does this mean for the first Marvel series of the year and how will it affect the scenes from the show?
Moon Knight is dark in its sense and it will delve into scenes that may be brutal and violent given the comic book origins of the character. Now that it is finally coming into the small screens, the show finally received its official television rating: 14A or TV-14. Some fans may be expecting it to have a higher level considering what is speculated for the show but these expectations need to be toned down.
A TV-14 or 14A rating means that there may be some coarse language, violence, or some scenes that may be sexually suggestive. Those who are aged 14 years or above can watch the show; however, they must be accompanied by an adult. With Moon Knight having such a rating, fans are curious as to how it would affect the content.
It will be interesting, that is for sure, but it is unlikely to have scenes that are too brutal like that of Punisher. After all, such a rating still allows some dark themes and weirdness to come into the story. However, it must still be noted that this might just be because the show is the introduction of the character and it would focus more on building him up rather than too many violent scenes unexplained.

There would just be less gore and scenes could still be as violent and as intense as the comics even without blood being shed on screen. It’s a psychological thriller to start with. Just by that, it could really be a powerful statement to have Moon Knight look into the lens of Steven Grant dealing with a dissociative identity disorder with his other persona, Marc Spector, with less blood.
Moon Knight is scheduled for release on March 30, 2022, exclusively on Disney Plus.
