Marvel Comics #1000: We’re Calling Him Ben

[sulemania]

I feel this is an important addition. He saves so many people on a regular basis that this just keeps happening. And he feels so much for his uncle that the answer is always the same.

…. This hits different when you realise he’s canonically Jewish

[marvel-and-dc-geek]

Can you please elaborate ? I’m curious as to what it means

[drek-odradek-deactivated2022031]

You can read a pretty good summary of it here, but as (most likely) Ashkenazi Jews, PP probably follows the minhag (custom) that says “that by naming a newborn child after a deceased loved one, the soul lives on through the child.” (Quoted from the site linked above.) And given how his Uncle Ben died, it just makes it all the more sadder tbh.

[roach-works]

another fine distinction is that the soul isn’t thought to be reincarnated, it’s that the memory of the loved one is kept alive and more good deeds in life can be inspired by (and thus partially attributed to) the dead. ‘may their memory be a blessing’–the memory of the deceased is honored, respected, and who they were is retold as inspiration to the next generation. 

ben’s memory is a blessing. that’s extremely jewish. spiderman is inspired not just by the shame of his death, but by the moral teachings he’d given peter in life. and his name given to these babies is another part of it: babies named in spiderman’s honor are also very honestly and truly named in his honor, and continue to be blessings to the world. 

it’s very joyous, i think. very sweet.

The problem I have with dating is that I enjoy my solitude more than I enjoy another human.

A few days together? Sure. A full week? Nope.

As soon as we hit that 5 day mark: get out of my house, squatter.

It's... pretty blatant?

[ayeforscotland]

It really is. Here’s Jon Stewart talking about how it somehow gets a free pass.

[bilko]

it's so fucked up. i remember reading the books expecting there to be a turn in the story, that house elves and goblins would be freed from wizard tyranny, i expected the story to culminate in some sort of a cultural revolution. we got to the part where harry buried dobby, and griphook felt touched that harry showed such respect to a creature that most wizards looked down on so he helped them in turn - and then betrayed them at his earliest convenience and it was all done out of greed. well fuck that shit. literally nothing changed. they killed voldemort and for what? they didn't put a stop to the ideals that sustained his influence! everyone stayed just as racist and classist as they were before and i read 7 books about the necessity of changing the status quo only for the protagonists to become the status quo in the end with a myriad of social issues never addressed.

it had a really good opportunity for a nice story but it remained unaware of its own themes (unless it was purposefully racist which i wouldn't presume) and for that it fell flat and we're left with a story that could have been about racism/classism from the nonracist/nonclassist perspective of the yet uncorrupted youth but what we got was plain old racism and classism with the not-as-subtle-as-we-thought hint of homophobia and transphobia.

[ayeforscotland]

Despite coming from one of the worst places on the internet, I always thought this was pretty good analysis of how nothing really changes in the wizarding world because Harry is born from an author who rigidly clings to the status quo rather than the betterment of society.
