I read their comics once during some event. I can't remember which one it was. they had a tie in. they were squatting in a church about to be demolished. and Cloak wanted to tell Dagger he loved her but she was all focused on her new classes at college and he never found the moment to tell her. Then they fought some monsters I think.

that's mostly all I have seen of them.

Looks okay.

I'm really hoping Moon Knight gets picked up for a series.

if they do Moon Knight, he has 2 versions though. and different people like different versions. sometimes he is portrayed as being insane, and sometimes his beliefs are proven real, depending on the writer. I actually think he is more interesting when he is crazy. but alot of people like him to actually be chosen by an ancient god. so not everyone will be satisfied

Same, but I'd be okay with them making him more "normal" for the sake of attracting viewers (as long as it doesn't ruin the show). I want the show to succeed as much as I want it to be good.

If they could build it up, that'd be perhaps more interesting, leave it in the middle until they reveal it at a crucial point. For another character, Ultimate did that and it was amazing.

Only know them from Runaways. Might give it a shot if it shows up on Hulu but apparently its on something Ive never even heard of until now called Freeform so Im guessing nope.

Freeform I think is just ABC Family. they changed the name. if you have basic cable I think you have it

Its a freeform show so Im sure my wife will love it

You're missing the third variant (which is the one I prefer) - the one where he's crazy AND his beliefs are right.

Khonshu can easily be real and actually giving him powers, but those powers and the ever-changing nature of the moon on top of the various traumas he's been forced to experience have broken his mind and given him a split personality disorder. If nothing else, both give him a bit of a twist that differentiates him from just being a blatant Batman clone, which is more or less all he was originally.

That being said, mental illness is REALLY hard to present in a visual medium where you can't necessarily have the audience listening in to his inner monologue all the time, especially if you're dealing with a 2-hour movie as opposed to a longer TV show arc. Legion sort of pulls it off, but Legion also has the advantage in that Legion is batshit crazypants. Moon Knight's insanity is more subtle, and would be harder to do well.
