Amph "You think you're the only superhero in the world?" - The Marvel Cinematic Universe

From what is implied in the movie, no he wasn't.
He left "home" when he was 16 and kept growing old. If he was snapped ( like Peter Parker) he would still be a teen!

 

This looks dark!

 

Dame Helen Mirren plays Golda Meir, sparks online & celebrity outrage because she's not Jewish

Oscar Isaac plays Moon Knight...

 

Well, for one -- Golda Meir was a real person, so there's going to be more scrutiny.

But I generally agree with the premise Sarah Silverman was espousing, in that where a characters' normal Jewishness was a big part of the character whether fictional or not, it tends to go to non-Jews (i.e. Golda Meir, Joan Rivers, Mrs. Maisel, etc.) -- but it's a "zany Jewish caricature" then it goes to a Jewish person.

This also roughly applies to almost every Jewish superhero put on film, barring the Hebrew Hammer. Kitty Pryde, Ben Grimm, Kate Kane, and now Mark Spector (though in Mark's case my understanding is that the character wasn't always supposed to be Jewish).

 

The Mirren thing is so, so silly.

Like when they went after Cranston for playing a paraplegic. Sure, there are probably paraplegic actors out there who could use the work - but it's acting at a certain point, the whole concept is stepping into shoes not your own.

Kingsley in Schindler's list, is what it is.

 

Moon Knight creator Doug Moench found out Marc Spector was a Jewish name at a later point (Marc was a comic shop employee who kept bugging Moench to name a character after him.)

So Marc’s Judaism wasn’t really a thing for most of the original run. I’ll do some digging as to when this emerged, but from recent rereads I think it was first mentioned at the tail end of the original run in Moon Knight issues 37 and 38 (Red Sins & Final Rest) - those were released in 1984, so if that is the first mention of his ethnicity / birth faith, then that’s almost a decade after Moon Knight was created in 1975.

Marc violently walked away from his Judaism at least 2x. I am not sure how many people know how prickly that might be for some folks. The majority of the comics gloss over it, but a few stories -and the current comic- address Marc’s Judaism head on. The current run is intensifying Marc’s regret from not becoming a rabbi like his father, but I do not know if they’ll address his Judaism in the show.

What a lot of people have missed is that there are Jewish members of Oscar’s family, from his father’s side (his middle name Isaac is Jewish too), however Oscar was not raised Jewish (Evangelical Christian from what I’ve read.) I know that isn’t the same as his being raised Jewish, but still.

If the series addresses it, Oscar will nail that requirement too. The more I watch the trailer the more I see just how clever and smart they are in taking this track (I freaked out a bit seeing fans objectify Moon Knight this week because he is the last character I’d ever consider sexy or thirst worthy , but it’s Oscar…and I am 1000% in his corner in his nailing every nuance of the characters).

 

Darn I think you have to click through, it’s worth it though.

 

I mean, there's a reason why Bucky cut his hair after Endgame.

 

Yes, to annoy fans. I kid.

 

He looked like a darned hippy. Harrumph.

 

I think Emilia Clarke is fantastic, and never understood that odd segment of GoT fandom that complained about her acting.

 

Mizarui on DeviantArt did some life action "What If?" manips including Chadwick as Star Lord.

 

I’ve never seen GoT (yuck prestige TV ) but I think her performance in Solo is really fantastic.

 

I don't think anyone with what looks like a Sybok icon is allowed to comment on prestige TV...

 

Prestige TV? LOL. My cable bill is $140.00/month (including internet) and HBO MAX is $7.00 so at this point watching the news live on ABC is more "prestige" than any HBO show.

IMO Emilia Clarke is a fine actress like ScarJo, but there are way better like Frances McDormand, Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, or Emma Stone.

 

who ya got? i have to change this week probably lol

 

I hope EC is playing Veradne in SI.

 

Out of all the upcoming Disney+ MCU content, I think Secret Invasion might be the most intriguing to me because (as of now/to my knowledge), there aren't any known super powered heroes in the cast; just Nick Fury. And since it's a Disney+ series, there may not be any super powered heroes. A "secret invasion" might be an Invasion of the Body Snatchers type of film where normal government officials are being replaced by "pod people" and Nick Fury is on a witch hunt.

 

yeah the question is , will there be characters we've seen for years that had been replaced. i suspect there will

 

Power Broker Sharon Carter seems the most likely to be Skrull-ified. There may be a "big" reveal that could be a fake out.

 

I wouldn't think any of the Avengers were to be revealed as being replaced in Secret Invasion. I think that would create a type of "Clone Saga" and "One More Day" situation among fans in the MCU.

 

Maybe Steve. As much as I like "Tony lives" fics, if they went with Tony being replaced by a Skrull before Endgame, that would cheapen his sacrifice in Endgame on screen IMO.
