Wow I've read Ultimate Spider-Man twice in its entirety and I don't remember noticing him being hinted as Jewish, but thats really cool!
In all fairness, I don’t think Bendis ever made it more than subtext in the actual comics themselves (though he would emphatically declare “Peter Parker is Jewish” in interviews). And, he has a certain specific voice that he gives to everyone he writes, lol, which is one reason I’m glad him going to DC opened up Miles Morales to new voices. But, yeah, there’s a lot more going on in even some of those older comics than the generic “white dude” thing they’re often seen as. Superman was created by a couple Jewish boys in Depression-era Cleveland as a champion of the oppressed, & the foundation of the Marvel universe comes from Jack Kirby’s mind through Stan Lee’s filter. And that’s not even factoring in the impact the 50s Seduction of the Innocent/Comics Code Authority saga had on marginalized voices. I love the modern pushes for diversity, inclusion, etc., in comics, but I love it even more when it’s done in a way that’s acknowledging & reclaiming the medium’s history (which makes reactionary complaints of “politics in comics” look even dumber than they already do). It’ll always be messy now that superhero comics also have decades of being super corporate, especially now that they weigh heavy over Hollywood, but that DNA is always sitting there underneath.
I finally read that whole post after turning from that page a couple times. It does bring up good and interesting perspectives of Peter and the history of his early incarnation that I wouldn’t have noticed. I’ve never read the ultimate comics, either.

Who's the main villain of Spider-Man Homecoming 3? Morlun? The only "big" villain they haven't used yet is Kraven
Going from “Far From Home” to “No Way Home” is so awkward, lol. In a vacuum, it sounds kinda cool, but contextually, it drives home how dumb it is to keep this whole “home” gimmick going. Honestly should’ve been “Home for the Holidays” if anything, lol.
I too dislike it. Should been "Spider-Man: Fuck (The Multiverse) All My Homies Hate (The Multiverse)"

KRAVEN THE HUNTER Spinoff Finds Its Lead In AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson Whatever
Coming January 2023. Bring it on. ATJ is pretty vanilla casting, not exciting like Tom Hardy as Venom, but I'm glad it's not another Leto-Morbius mistake. Going with someone who's already been someone in the MCU is a weird choice for a studio that loves dancing around MCU canon, but as someone burnt out on canon, I don't mind. I hope preemptively slating it for January, before it's even made, means they're committing to it being lower budget, which would be a fun thing to have for an official Spidey film.
I was hoping it would be a casting that would shock me but Sony using an actor already from the MCU just feels very bland to me.
