Marvel Comics #1000: We’re Calling Him Ben

Avatar

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.

If Batman and Spider-Man switched rogues galleries none of their villains would last more than ten minutes against the new enemy

Batman takes down all of Spider-Man’s villains with ruthless efficiency and preparation

Batman’s villains are all like “TAKE ME SERIOUSLY DAMMIT” and Spider-Man is like “No 😜”

The Joker would have an intense hatred for Spider-Man because Spider-Man is actually funny

That was the exact thought process behind this post

In Gotham:

“Riddle me this-”

“I like knock knock jokes better.”

In New York: 

Green Goblin is getting his ass beat by 12 orphans in spandex

He looks like part of the communications array!

Don't be mean, Eyah. It's not like you were any better. Just had more spikes...

Mean? I like communications arrays!

Arc troopers are Dilophosaurus (but more endearing) confirmed.

Let Arc troopers be frilly!

McDonald's giving away free fries if you use their mobile app and then updating the terms and conditions to say if you use this app you waive your right to trial in any class action lawsuits and have to do mandatory arbitration is INSANE
