So, I can’t remember for sure what Sally did with Medusa’s head. I think she wrote in her letter to Percy something very vague about her getting rid of it after Gabe’s disappearance, but no real details.

And It was a spoil of war so I don’t think it would just disappear on it’s own, and it seems kind of dangerous to just throw out. However, Percy did give the nemean lion’s pelt as an offering so she could have done that. Perhaps she offered it to Hades as a thank you for returning her…

…or, my personal favorite theory, she just put it back in the box and sent it to the gods again. Zeus is up on Olympus LIVID that he has received Medusa’s head in a box twice and Poseidon is just there like ‘Oh, you thought Perseus took after me?’

Tbh it would have been a funny gag if Medusa’s head getting sent back and forth between them was a running gag. Like, Percy is in the middle of a fight and Hermes pops up to hand him a box, so he just opens it and turns his enemies to stone before calmly putting it back and just handing it over to Hermes again. On the night of that winter council meeting, Hermes interrupts to whisper something in Zeus ear and hands him the box as Percy is just :D

Whenever he meets new gods like Aphrodite or Apollo, they hand him the box and Percy always, always finds a way to get it back to Olympus. It isn’t even a huge plotline or anything, but it appears once every book. idk why I find it so funny, but yeah. That would have been fun lol.

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

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

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.

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.

I swear to God I get happy tears every time I see these panels, and the commentary makes it even better

Brad Meltzer, the writer for these panels, is Jewish, so this is all very intentional.
