HOLY CRIMINY! I’ve messaged you about this before but these people just won’t stop.
WANDA AND PIETRO WERE NEVER JEWISH!
They have had no Jewish identity. They have never participated in anything culturally Jewish. And Jewish law very specifically requires that your mother be Jewish. Even with Magneto as their father if they wanted to be recognized as Jewish they would’ve been required to convert.
I am a Jewish reader who thinks Jews are massively underrepresented in comics. Especially Marvel comics. Marvel books take place (primarily) in New York. In NYC you can’t go into a Starbucks without randomly bumping into 3 Jews. and then before the day is done you’ll bump into 3 more. Yet in all of Marvel Comics we’ve got, what, Magento, Thing and Kitty Pryde?
I have never identified with Wanda and Pietro being on that list. People need to stop trying to claim changing their parentage is a slight against the Jewish people. I also assume the majority of these people aren’t even Jewish and are just people who like to complain on the internet. I can’t imagine an actual Jew looking at Wanda and Pietro and thinking “Oh yeah. This totally represents me and my people.”
There’s plenty of reasons to dislike this change in the twins’ history. Screwing with Jews is not one of them.
so uh
you gonna tell that to Stanley “Stan Lee” Lieberman and Jacob “Jack Kirby” Kurtzberg? Y’know, the two Jewish guys who created them and intended for them to be Jewish? Especially considering that them suddenly not being Jewish is the entire problem?
Neither of them had anything to do with either making Magneto their father or with making Magneto Jewish.
are you fucking for real
seriously
are you
they fucking made the issues where that happened?
Seriously like at least 75% of 60s/early 70s Marvel comics were by them
And they’re FAR from the only Jewish dudes who’ve worked for Marvel.
