Oscar Isaac in talks to play Jewish superhero in Marvel/Disney+ series


Isaac is not Jewish, though he has said that he was given the middle name Isaac because of Jewish roots on his father’s side.

By PHILISSA CRAMER/JTA OCTOBER 27, 2020 07:29

The forthcoming TV adaptation of a Marvel comic series about a rabbi’s son who leaves religion for a life of vigilante justice could star an actor who once played a real-life Israeli Nazi hunter.

Oscar Isaac is in talks to play Marc Spector in “Moon Knight,” set for release on Disney+ next year, Deadline reported Monday. Spector is the central character in the Moon Knight series, which launched in 1975 and chronicles Spector’s rejection of his father’s Judaism, his life of violence and his second life of vigilantism, which includes tracking down and punishing antisemites.

Writing last year in Forbes, Josh Weiss argued for the adaptation to embrace Spector’s Jewishness, in part because of its resonance at a time of rising antisemitism and discrimination. He wrote:

Moon Knight is truly Marvel’s mensch, a comic book hero that has experienced religious persecution firsthand and now refuses to let it go by unpunished. It’s a relatable character motivation that is able to echo discrimination in the modern day, not just for Jews, but for people of all creeds and walks of life. Marc Spector gives a voice to the voiceless, a physical embodiment of “never again.”

‘Looks like a Florida meth dealer’: Marvel enlists GAY CAPTAIN AMERICA for Pride Month, but fans find him far from flattering


16 Mar, 2021 20:07

Marvel Comics has unveiled a gay version of Captain America, perhaps pandering to LGBTQ readers ahead of Pride Month, but drawings of the new character have left some target buyers feeling more insulted than inspired.

“How come the gay Captain America looks like a Florida meth dealer?” one Twitter user asked. Comic enthusiast Alex Skovranov saw the new character similarly, saying, “He looks like a meth addict hobo. I’m supposed to be flattered as a gay man reading that comic being represented that way?”

Another commenter pointed out that previous versions of Captain America, including the female Captain America 2099, were “buff.”“This isn't Captain America,” he said. “This is imagining gay people are twinky and slim. Insulting.”

These "superheroes" are all created by Jews. Just look at what they did with Thor, taking Heimdall (described as the whitest of the gods in Norse mythology) and having a black play the role of it in the film. Or how in the cover of Captain America #1, he's punching Adolf Hitler in the face. It's basically a way of programming the youth with their agenda.

Yes, that's true. This is what a more realistic Captain America comic book would look like:

From ‘M.O.D.O.K.’ to ‘The Boys’: Why prissy heroes are out — and villains are in


By Lauren Sarner
May 20, 2021



With great power comes great irresponsibility.

Now that superheroes have reached peak pop-culture saturation, paint-by-numbers crusaders aren’t cutting it anymore. A slew of current shows have opted to shoot bolts of energy into the overcrowded genre by showing its less-than-heroic side.
(...)
“The world understands superheroes now. There’s no hand-holding needed to explore the territories,” “M.O.D.O.K.” co-creator Jordan Blum told The Post. “We’ve never seen this story from this perspective of what it’s like to be a supervillain, this egomaniac whose ego is his own downfall — you have to pay your minions and give them health care and deal with HR.”
(...)
And plenty of other shows are exploring the characters behind the capes.

Take Amazon’s irreverent hit “The Boys,” which brims with with morally bankrupt, blood-soaked “heroes” who are more than a little deranged. Over the course of its two seasons (Season 3 is filming and a spinoff is in the works), characters such as the twisted Captain America-esque Homelander (Antony Starr) lie, cheat and murder with aplomb.

“The superhero genre has taken over the world,” showrunner Eric Kripke told The Post. “It’s the dominant pop-culture force. It’s become so inflated and omnipresent … that it’s kind of crying out for someone to stick the pin in the balloon and take the piss out of it.”
(...)
According to Blum, there are two reasons that unheroic hero stories are resonating now: the first is simple innovation.

“To survive, you always have to do something different,” he said. “Marvel in particular is good at that. If you look at the MCU [Marvel Cinematic Universe], ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ is a WWII movie and ‘Thor’ is fantasy. You have to look at the genre within the genre.”

The second is that darker themes resonate with today’s viewers.
