Alright. So I finally watched Night at the Museum 1 and 2 and I'm not emotional you're emotional.

I will watch the cartoon movie tomorrow, but I know that they leave my besties out. :(

Fucking Khonshu. "What? Yeah sure I'll bless this tablet of life or whatever. Everything gets life. I don't know. Is that statue alive? It is now. Anyways I'm gonna go pick on this other guy now good luck!"

What a weirdly specific thing for the tablet to do. Instead of just keeping them alive it just...brings everything to life. Like, no wonder he got himself banished. You think that's why he got banished? Osiris shows up and just goes, "You did what? Why would you do this thing in particular? What....Just why?"

Epitome of "Fuck it we ball".

Anyways, I love these movies now and I desperately need a cross over.

Yes 🤣 it’ll be called Moon Knight at the Museum

But khonshu making the tablet really is so random?? He doesn’t have anything to do w anything. He was a minor god that was only popular for a few hundred years; he wasn’t associated w pharaohs or tablets or reanimation or anything. Like???

Maybe the tablet was his first attempt at protecting the travelers of the night. He was like “ok well, if someone gets attacked at night they’ll need extra strength and energy to defend themselves… and maybe we can make the statues come to life too to help protect them… and let’s bring dead ppl back too while we’re at it. Bc what if u die? What if they unfairly died? We have to cover all our bases.” It has the vibes of an idea that originally made some sense but then he kept adding crazier and crazier things to it until it was totally different from the goal he was trying to achieve lol

You are absolutely right that Osiris or some other god showed up and was like “Why???” This is how it probably went down:

Osiris: khonshu, why are my dead ppl being taken out of the underworld every night and then put back in the morning??

Khonshu: to protect the travelers of the night! 😤

Osiris: wha-? how?? How does taking ppl out of the underworld protect the travelers of the night?

Khonshu: well, um, you see… uhhhhhh…

Osiris: it doesn’t, the answer is it doesn’t. All you’re doing is messing up my organization system and giving me more paperwork. Stop it. It doesn’t make any fucking sense. You know what? Get out. Get out of here. You’re banished.

Khonshu: :(

I suppose the statue/inanimate object thing kinda makes sense from a cultural point of view? They had ushabtis and other statues that were supposed to come to life and help you in the afterlife and had a lot of apotropaic statues like the sphinx that were supposed to ward off bad luck/evil spirits. So making them all actually come to life isn’t too much of a stretch in terms of trying to protect ppl

In the third movie they have a whole bunch of tablet lore that explains why it happened from a human/worshiper point of view but it still makes no sense from a god point of view lol The third movie is also set in the British Museum so there is actually potential for them to run into our favorite gift shoppist.

If the system met the museum gang here’s how I think it would go down.

Honestly, Larry would not be surprised that they’re a superhero avatar for the moon god. He would just be like “ok great. I’ve seen weirder, I can handle that.” The museum exhibits would probably not be phased by moon knight either bc they’re already so unique and different from each other they would be like “another weird new friend, great!”

Marc would not be surprised but very disappointed lol Larry would explain their situation and the tablet and he would just sigh and put his head in his hands while mentally cursing khonshu out. He’s not surprised he would do smth like this, just so tired of Khonshus bs lol

Jake would ask to try Larry’s flashlight out and wouldn’t be as invested as marc and Steven in the magic side of things. I can see him making friends w the exhibits tho and just chilling w them. I think Attila and Teddy would be his favorites.

And now Steven. Oh Steven. Steven would lose his fucking shit. This would be the best day of his life, including the tomb and the pyramid of Giza. He might straight up faint when he finds out abt Ahk. He’s squealing louder and louder at Larry’s introductions of all the exhibits bc this is so much firsthand knowledge abt these time periods, he could solve so many mysteries of history, and then they get to Ahk and it’s fantastic. There’s a real life pharaoh standing a few feet in front of him and he can talk to him and ask questions and just exist in the same space as him… and he collapses. As soon as he comes to again, he’s asking questions and talking everybody’s ear off. Some ppl are more inclined to humor him than others (like Teddy would be more than happy to talk abt himself as opposed to jed who would just be confused and walk away). Either way, Steven is living his best life rn.

Steven would have also been useful in the second natm movie lol He could read the hieroglyphics on the tablet and realized the answer was pi in a matter of minutes. He could have spared Larry a lot of grief lol

I’ve thought a lot abt what would happen if Larry was the night guard at the British museum the night Marc destroyed the toilets. Probably at first he would assume that Marc was the main threat since he wouldn’t be able to see the jackal, but he’s smart and would quickly figure out that he was fighting smth even more dangerous. Idk how much of a help he would be but he would certainly try his best; maybe trying to distract it or dumping paint on it so it’s a more visible target or using the true and tested game of fetch method (I mean, jackals are just dogs right?). He would find a way to help and then figure out what Marc’s deal is lol

But I think Larry and moon knight could be a really good duo tho. Moon knight helps him w problems w the tablet, translating any languages he hasn’t learned yet, and giving more historical context to things that Larry wouldn’t be able to find on the internet. In return, Larry lets them hang out w the exhibits and points out Khonshus bullshit for them lol I feel like he’s very good at seeing through ppls lies and setting clear boundaries which is smth that Marc is not always the greatest w lol

#you have unearthed the secret cross over I’ve been planning in my head for months lol #i spent hours writing this out no joke #mcu #marvel #moon knight #natm #night at the museum #what is this a cross over episode?
