just-odradek: marvel-and-dc-geek: just-odradek: sulemania: maxximoffed: Marvel Comics #1000: We’re Calling Him Ben 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. -- source link
