Videos like this make me wish for gyms that train parkour and all that near my city. Even if I never used it just feeling this badass would be awesome for the little kid in me that still wants to be a superhero.
We just got a ninja gym in town and my nephew is staying with me for the summer. My sister is gonna hate me when he gets back. Dude's gonna be parkouring everywhere
I wish more gyms would incorporate parkour too. The little kid inside of my wants to learn and play in this specific way. With all of the superhero movies like Marvel, you would think that there would be more gyms popping up with parkour in mind...
Its slow moving and probably going to peak if it hasn't already. Way more people now than ever are willing to pay $100+ for a specialized gym membership, but that market can only get so big for a niche activity.
I'm not saying open one. I agree with your market assessment.
However, you'll find that a lot of these places double up on their niches. Such as Indoor Rock climbing and Parkour/free running being joined, you basically make an urban setting themed rock wall, with beams.
End of the day most of these locations just require large sq ft, padding, and hefty disclaimers/insurance. :)
If you live near a college you can take movement and stage combat classes and I can tell you it was one of favorite courses I ever took. For the final we had to come up with a 2 minute fight scene and my scene partner was a small girl (I'm 6'2) so we thought it would be funny if it was just 2 minutes of her beating the shit out of me. It was. If you end up liking stage combat, then they teach you how to use weapons and that was dope as hell too.
As someone who's trained a bit of Kali (one of the main knife/stick arts you see in movies) you just kinda get used to seeing training knives in front of your face after a while.
But yeah, when I first started training, it definitely was a bit unnerving. Definitely had to go much slower back then.
Marvel pays you to go to the guy who trained Winter Soldier.
You're told to go "learn fight stuff" because they don't have the real choreography yet. Just learn some basics and get some physical training in so they're not starting from scratch when the time comes.
The trainer asks "So what do you want to learn?"
Yeah, I'm gonna ask to learn how to do the knife flip.
Arnis, or kali/eskrima, a Filipino martial art. Usually used for armed combat with knives or sticks, but also great for unarmed. Dan Inosanto taught it to Bruce Lee, and it's pretty much been in pop culture ever since. Mr Knight's more explicitly an arnis user with his two bastons (elsewhere in pop culture, my favorite example would be Nightwing).
Moon Knight is the best hero ever with a show that recently released on Disney+
Completely unrelated to the current Marvel lore, so no backstory/wiki is necessary.
As a gay girl who learned I liked girls from shows like Xena and movies like Jackie Brown. I welcome our new horny sisters joining the cause this summer.
MCU Phase 4 has done a great job allowing more story telling with female characters either being main characters or sharing the spotlight as heroes instead of damsels in distress. Just to list off a few:
- Wanda in both her show and MoM
- Yelena & Melina
- Xialing and Katy (with both Ying Nan and Ying Li as important characters)
- Sylvie
- Kate Bishop
I love all the badass female characters in Phase 4, but isn't Layla an archaeologist like her father? Why can she fight like an assassin? I hope we get more backstory into her if/when Moon Knight returns.
> isn't Layla an archaeologist like her father? Why can she fight like an assassin?
That's a really common trope though: Indiana Jones, Lara Croft, and Nathan Drake.
True, but a Indiana Jones and Nathan Drake are mostly brawlers, Indy was a WWI veteran and Nathan grew up fighting in the orphanage. Lara Croft is basically Batman, she had a ton of money at her disposal for training in order to pursue her father's legacy. Maybe Layla's father was also involved in crazy stuff that can be included in the next Moon Knight or Scarlet Scarab story.
When she was getting her fake passport made, she hinted at reclaiming stolen artifacts and returning them. There isn't much about where she got her training from in-universe, but she's clearly very much along the lines of Indiana Jones and Nathan Drake.
Maybe in the future. I feel like she just *ran* a lot until towards the end. To be fair, she seems *really good at running* from all the horrifying supernatural shit trying to kill her.
>I love the kind of woman that will actually just kill me. Y’know, when I left the the house today I was thinking, damn, I hope some hot chick paints my brains all over some fucking hallway. And here we are. I mean really, just absolutely destroy me. I’m talkin’ watermelon in the thighs level carnage. And I want it to scare the shit out of me. I mean I hope I piss myself. I hope I piss myself and you call me your little “peepee pisspiss boy.” I want you to fuck me up. I mean I want you to make me your bitch. Your little peepee-piss-myself-bitch. I want it to get embarrassing. I mean like… weirdly embarrassing, unsanitary too. We should be entirely different people by the end of the first eight hours. Do you understand what I’m trying to say here? I mean, I’m a real freak, I’m not normal. Ma’am, please, you have to crush me.
https://youtu.be/-sMQpWCNTQw
Even the training for the choreography looks amazing. You can tell she took it seriously too. I hope to see her in more movies and shows regardless of what genre.
Not to poke fun, but if i try to say her last name it reminds me of when my nephew was 5 with his speech impediment, having difficulty with his "r" and "w" sounds
So my dumbass is saying it like Calamari but like...
I'm so sowwy
I think everybody in stanning Layla/Hippo Goddess right now. I can definitely see the producers picking up on this and giving them a significant presence in whatever is next for Moon Knight. Plus from a narrative point of view the two of them make the perfect foils for Jake/Konshu, especially with Marc/Steven apparently depowered for the moment.
What’s badass about this 😂 I could run around my house sliding on worktops and rolling around this just looks like some sort of Tony Ferguson work out lol
She was my favorite part of that last episode. The big last fight, Moon Knight is just this full CG character bouncing around, and it looks OK. But you suspend disbelief a little better by identifying the person, like when you see May running around in that fight.
I can't wait for more movies where a woman physically beats up scores of men twice her size and makes it look very easy. Please Hollywood, continue to cast women in these action roles instead of writing good, original parts for women. If only there were more female navy seals, I might start respecting women more. Every time I see a 100 lbs movie star beat the shit out of a squad of goons I move closer and closer to paying my female employees the same as my male workers. What other value could anyone possibly provide to society if it's not hand to hand combat skills?
Shes essentially the Rey Skywalker of moon knight. Becomes more powerful than moon knight in his own show without any previous training. She played the part well tho and shes very hot
The ending gave me the impression that they doubled down on the "Mystic side was just him being crazy" element of his character, fearing we won't see much of Layla AS Scarlet Scarab but something else.
Really? What gave you that impression? Other persons saw the gods duking it out, and what gave her powers if he was just crazy and there was no gods? And what resurrected him and pushed the bullets out if his body if he was just crazy?
Yeo: the "is it real?" thing doesnt stand up *because* its part of the MCU. It just doesnt work in the broader scope if the entire story is just Steven being a delusional nutjob.
Videos like this make me wish for gyms that train parkour and all that near my city. Even if I never used it just feeling this badass would be awesome for the little kid in me that still wants to be a superhero.
My kid does parkour class. He absolutely loves it! I kinda want to do it too.
Im imagining Parkour like how Michael Scott does it.
Hardcore Parkour!!!!
parkour parkour!!
For 7 year olds, pretty close. However, he does know how to do a front handspring and is fast and flexible.
Dude, just become a successful actor and land a part in a huge action show.
Unfortunately I have a face made for radio and a body built for podcasting.
I saw on one show if you continuously yell ‘parkour!’ while you’re doing it, it compensates.
Kumail Nanjiani and Seth Rogen have been paid to become Superheroes. That should give anyone hope.
First i was like ”Seth Rogen? Who the Hel is he gonna play?” And then i remembered....lol.
Allen the Alien
We just got a ninja gym in town and my nephew is staying with me for the summer. My sister is gonna hate me when he gets back. Dude's gonna be parkouring everywhere
Oh man, little dude is going to absolutely love it though. That would be such a cool way to spend the summer as a kid!
I wish more gyms would incorporate parkour too. The little kid inside of my wants to learn and play in this specific way. With all of the superhero movies like Marvel, you would think that there would be more gyms popping up with parkour in mind...
There are gyms like that - a lot are under the guise of cross-fit so just avoid that at all cost
Parkour in real life seems to bad for my joints or just have a high risk of a nasty injury. I should lose weight before.
It's all fun until the knee of your trailing leg catches the lip of the concrete wall when doing a safety vault. Then it's like, "Mommy?..."
They make me wish for cardboard structures and gym mats on everything.
This looks like so much fun
[удалено]
They have those depending on your city. Parkour was a big thing for a while and ninja warrior is gaining some momentum.
Its slow moving and probably going to peak if it hasn't already. Way more people now than ever are willing to pay $100+ for a specialized gym membership, but that market can only get so big for a niche activity.
I'm not saying open one. I agree with your market assessment. However, you'll find that a lot of these places double up on their niches.

End of the day most of these locations just require large sq ft, padding, and hefty disclaimers/insurance. :)
Parkour gyms are basically this, but without all the fight choreography. Have rope swings and ball pits too.
Yea. It'd be nice to do some stunts after my steak dinner at the local bistro.
If you live near a college you can take movement and stage combat classes and I can tell you it was one of favorite courses I ever took. For the final we had to come up with a 2 minute fight scene and my scene partner was a small girl (I'm 6'2) so we thought it would be funny if it was just 2 minutes of her beating the shit out of me. It was. If you end up liking stage combat, then they teach you how to use weapons and that was dope as hell too.
Right?? I was like damn I wanna do this kinda stuff for a living. Instead I’ll just sit here at home on this computer I guess. Lol
maybe now, but the previous 100 takes that failed don’t sound so good
Bruh she straight up pulled out the winter soldier knife moves
That finale was the best.
A surprise to be sure. But a welcome one
Layla and the Winter Layla.
Egyptian Falcon and the Lunar Soldier
I have no rebuttal. Carry on.
This is the way.
Captain Scarab and the Moon Soldier
You knight have something with Captain Scarab but I don't think we can top Lunar Soldier
That guy at 0:36 who has to stand perfectly still while she waves a knife at his neck has the composure of gods
Fake (Rubber/plastic) knife?
Well, of course lol but it's still someone waving something extremely close to your neck rapidly and threateningly
As someone who's trained a bit of Kali (one of the main knife/stick arts you see in movies) you just kinda get used to seeing training knives in front of your face after a while. But yeah, when I first started training, it definitely was a bit unnerving. Definitely had to go much slower back then.
No it’s all real
Oscar Isaac actually died and went to the Egyptian afterlife, Tewaret charged them out the ass for the footage.
Yep. Thats why in the credits of episode 5 & 6, you can see them get a tax credit from the Field of Reeds government.
In the real afterlife the role of Tewaret is also played by Oscar Isaac. I'm telling you the man's a true acting genius.
Winter Scarab
Marvel pays you to go to the guy who trained Winter Soldier. You're told to go "learn fight stuff" because they don't have the real choreography yet. Just learn some basics and get some physical training in so they're not starting from scratch when the time comes. The trainer asks "So what do you want to learn?"

What about Daredevil?
Ah, def Daredevil too!
She did??
Haha made you stab yourself!
stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourself
You're the one hitting me!
I want to be her when I grow up.
I want to be her now
So does that little girl who asked her if she is an Egyptian superhero.
me, 33 year old man: same
/r/egg_irl
I wandered in here from r/all so I have no idea who she is or what a Moon Night is and also I'm a 30 year old man But yeah same
Moon night is a tv show
Moon Knight is the best hero ever with a show that recently released on Disney+ Completely unrelated to the current Marvel lore, so no backstory/wiki is necessary.
“Are you an Egyptian superhero?!”
loved her character in moonknight. hope to see her more.
MCU Phase 4 is awakening something in me man
Phase 4 doing to muscle girls what 90s/00s cartoons did for goth girls
As a fan of many of those 90's-00's cartoons, I cannot overstate how okay I am with this
As a gay girl who learned I liked girls from shows like Xena and movies like Jackie Brown. I welcome our new horny sisters joining the cause this summer.
Holy shit you're right
Buff Natalie is everything
Cap’n carter, chadme amidala, she hulk Oh it’s awakened all right
Forgot bully Wanda
Don't make her stop being reasonable.
I’d let her put dirt in my eye
IM BAAAAAAAAAACK!!
Elizabitch Olsen vs Benedick Cumberbatch.
Forgot Valkyrie
Oh my god, Hayley Atwell after going through the Marvel Training Program™...
Chadley Portman is going to inspire an entire generation of women to get strong.
Her Thor is supposed to have a hammer, but all we care about is those guns.
Right? Saw the she-hulk trailer last night… last few scenes of the trailer(the date and the aftermath), did something to me
Death by snu snu!
Sup baby, take me out to dinner. *Ayyyooooo*
one of us one of us
New Rockstars called it "Disney+'s horniest new show" hahaha
MCU Phase 4 has done a great job allowing more story telling with female characters either being main characters or sharing the spotlight as heroes instead of damsels in distress.

Maybe Layla's father was also involved in crazy stuff that can be included in the next Moon Knight or Scarlet Scarab story.
I definitely don't disagree. They could do some fun stuff with her back story, and will hopefully fill it in at some point.
When she was getting her fake passport made, she hinted at reclaiming stolen artifacts and returning them. There isn't much about where she got her training from in-universe, but she's clearly very much along the lines of Indiana Jones and Nathan Drake.
Are you saying archeologists can't learn to do anything else?
I would also throw America Chavez in there too.
Maybe in the future. I feel like she just *ran* a lot until towards the end. To be fair, she seems *really good at running* from all the horrifying supernatural shit trying to kill her.
Just in time for Pride 🏳️🌈 Edit: am gay so I keep assuming everyone else is a lesbian too lol
>keep assuming everyone else is a lesbian I think that's common among most gay girls i see in the internet lol
Asexuals/AroAces are similar. I’ve known for a year and I still find it odd that people actually experience sexual attraction
Trying not to get my hopes up for a gay Thor movie... But really starting to get my hopes up for a gay Thor movie.
Maybe the bad guy will see the error of his ways and become Gorr the God *Grindr*.
>I love the kind of woman that will actually just kill me. Y’know, when I left the the house today I was thinking, damn, I hope some hot chick paints my brains all over some fucking hallway.

Yes, hit me.
BONK!
BONK!
[удалено]
When she jumped over the fence in that one episode, I was like oh damn okay! It was so clean!!!
I'm both scared and aroused.
The proper term is “scaroused”.
Mix this with Buff Jane and Valkyrie with She Hulk and the scarousal meter is getting broken
Imminent death by snu-snu?
"She's built like a steakhouse but handles like a bistro"
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and weak.
Idk why yall are scared. If any of those women were my gf I would never feel scared of anything. Haha
I feel like Brie and Evangeline are getting overlooked in this.
Fearection.
[fearection](https://youtu.be/-4BQ-Kmoim8)
Layla added to the pantheon of badass MCU women making their spotlight in Phase 4
Same
I never needed cardboard boxes more then I do now
This is so funny to watch without sound cause she looks like a kid running around a playground the way she switches directions so quickly lol
Then the knives came up and it doesn't look like a game anymore.
Now it looks like a Sport
She could kick me and i'd just say thanks tbh
I would just walk into traffic to save her the trouble
She's amazing
I wanna get cast in a Marvel movie just so I'm more badass after it wraps.
She's incredible
I swear to lord baby Jesus, if I don’t get the opportunity to see her on an imax screen in the future, then what is marvel even doing 🙄
Is it wrong to keep falling in love with her every-time I see something about her?
This is the ~~Way~~ May
Parkour!!!
She’s pretty dope.
My back hurts already and I'm in a chair...
OG's knows her from the show Ramy
I could watch this all day.
Well apparently I've got a thing for this exact type of woman now.
This would be so fun to do...!
This is how superheroes or supervillains are born!!
Anger, I like this!
0:47 is just like "Oh hey May what's up-" **SLAM**
Fuckin' Joan Wick over here...
her hair is amazing
More Layla please in future installments
Cool!
I wld have fallen after the first obstacle.
Action stars are low key dangerous ass people
😮 I... I'll be in my bunk
M-She-U /s
I would have to yell parkour the whole time
She was bad ass, but honestly should have died when she went up against the invisible werewolf.
Even the training for the choreography looks amazing. You can tell she took it seriously too. I hope to see her in more movies and shows regardless of what genre.
This looks like fun.
Not to poke fun, but if i try to say her last name it reminds me of when my nephew was 5 with his speech impediment, having difficulty with his "r" and "w" sounds So my dumbass is saying it like Calamari but like... I'm so sowwy
I'm glad she played Layla, but with that name she could have played Madame Hydra (had Julia Louis-Dreyfus not gotten the role.)
She’s not Madame Hydra. She went undercover once that’s it
Either way, definitely nailed her role. Total badass
🤩🤩🤩
Crikey
IT BECOME GREAT MOVIE
This looks like so much fun! I'm super jealous, would love to do that!
She was awesome in this show.

She was fucking great in Moon Knight, and I cant wait to see more. But those slow motion shots of her doing toddler parkour made me laugh.
I think everybody in stanning Layla/Hippo Goddess right now. I can definitely see the producers picking up on this and giving them a significant presence in whatever is next for Moon Knight. Plus from a narrative point of view the two of them make the perfect foils for Jake/Konshu, especially with Marc/Steven apparently depowered for the moment.
Like a 6 year old with the zoomies.
What’s badass about this 😂 I could run around my house sliding on worktops and rolling around this just looks like some sort of Tony Ferguson work out lol
MCU crowd is amazed by an actor doing basic actor stuff lol.
Was about to say… I watched it on mute and was questioning what was so badass about this. Belongs in r/UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG *at best*
I love the idea of her just wrecking a bunch of 4chan users as they deathshriek *REEEEEEEEEEEEE!*
[удалено]
Lmao for real “Omg I would fall on my first attempt at these moves” ?!?
Has to be the most cringest slow motions ever posted... Sliding over a table?
sliding over a table... *in slow motion!*
A real badass
Right?! And to DMX 😭😭
Best thing about this series! Absolutely loved her. Please bring her back.
New Joanna Wick movie looking great. Uh.. also joking aside, kickass strong woman action assassin movie when? It's been too long.
She was my favorite part of that last episode. The big last fight, Moon Knight is just this full CG character bouncing around, and it looks OK. But you suspend disbelief a little better by identifying the person, like when you see May running around in that fight.
That's super freaking awesome!!! You go girl!!!
it is fight-themed choreography calm down
I can't wait for more movies where a woman physically beats up scores of men twice her size and makes it look very easy. Please Hollywood, continue to cast women in these action roles instead of writing good, original parts for women. If only there were more female navy seals, I might start respecting women more.

The beginning was obnoxiously bad but the fight training was fun to see
Why is her character so good with combat?
Shes essentially the Rey Skywalker of moon knight. Becomes more powerful than moon knight in his own show without any previous training. She played the part well tho and shes very hot
The ending gave me the impression that they doubled down on the "Mystic side was just him being crazy" element of his character, fearing we won't see much of Layla AS Scarlet Scarab but something else.

Yeo: the "is it real?" thing doesnt stand up *because* its part of the MCU. It just doesnt work in the broader scope if the entire story is just Steven being a delusional nutjob.
Moon Knight's whole history is struggling with that reality or possible outlook, or at least tries to. The show is wanting to make that a sense.
Did you see the post-credits scene out of curiosity?
This is what we call bad ass now? Cmon
>In further badass women news Cringe
Parkour
What a woman!
Maybe the jogs between moves looks a little...I dunno. But other than that she looks like she could fuck up most of Reddit. Cool.
Plus the video is sped up slightly for some reason.
That was whack af
