I can’t believe Into the Spiderverse casually made Peter Parker canonically Jewish. I feel valid in this chili’s tonight.
in case you missed it, bc I did, when Peter says that he “got married”, the animation to go with it shows him stomping on a glass:
which is what you do for a jewish wedding
I’m re-reblogging this because I’m seething about how many ppl are denying this or straight up telling op, my friend, that Peter cant be Jewish because of bs stuff like “his characters based around guilt which is a catholic thing (huh?) Or “that’s not really Peter it’s an AU Peter” and “well… non-jewish ppl might smash glasses at their wedding too??” (Wtf??) None of you said “that’s not really Peter” when we were excited he was finally out of his origin story?
You need to sit the fuck down and think about why youre so adamant on discouraging the idea of Jewish Peter Parker
(PS: Stan Lee and Jack Kirby are Jewish, so no, I dont think either are “rolling in their graves”, they’d probably approve actually, since Stan based Peter partly on himself)
Y'all have heard about Catholic guilt, now get ready for
JEWISH GUILT
It should also be noted that in the main Marvel Universe, Peter’s middle name is Benjamin. Just saying.
Like most superheroes are Jewish if not Jewish-coded for the sole fact of most of the people that wrote those characters into existence are… wait for it…
Jewish
Also “With great power comes great responsibility” is hella Jewish mood, it’s the same mood as “[…] if I am only for myself, who am I? And if not now, when?”.
