Khonshu's lines remind me so much of Mother Gothel's lines (the way she speaks to Rapunzel etc). They're not too similar as characters but they do share a lot of the same characteristics and they're both master manipulators.
These lines have the same energy to them. You notice it even better when you're watching the scenes. They just feel the same to me.
In a way, I feel like Rapunzel's tower represents how Marc feels as Moon Knight. He feels like he owes Khonshu his servitude but he's also trapped, unable to live his life (for example he can't be with Layla, he needs to protect her from Khonshu).
So in a sense, Khonshu has isolated Marc from his loved ones the same way mother Gothel has isolated Rapunzel from the outside world.
Here we have both of them belittling Marc and Rapunzel, making them feel dependant on them or just grateful for whatever it is they're offering them.
Right after they belittle them/make them feel inferior to them, they make up for it by saying nice things.
They both present themselves are their protectors although they don't need protecting (the only reason they might need it is because of them)
Mother Gothel and Khonshu don't respect their boundaries in the slightest. They refuse to let them go and use very questionable ways to keep them.
Marc and Steven asked to be freed but they really weren't. In Tangled, Mother Gothel let Rapunzel think she was free only to destroy her idea of the world so she would return to the tower in the end anyway.
On that note, Rapunzel and Marc are both willing to stay as long as their loved ones are safe.
Mother Gothel and Khonshu both make it seem like they are the only ones who understand them and know what they're feeling, what they need etc. They know what's best.
Anyway, I don't think Khonshu is as bad as Mother Gothel and their similarities are mostly just their manipulation tactics. It's still kind of interesting to compare these characters though (at least I find it interesting)
There's more but I feel like this post is already too long.
