I was gonna bring that up on my previous post while talking about Eli but forgot: one thing that I found fascinating about the latest TFATWS episode was that spoilers:end of spoilers So that begs the question: how would Isaiah feel about Eli becoming Patriot, wearing those same stars and stripes as a symbol? That could definitely make for some interesting family drama.
Isaiah came off as being VERY anti-nationalist and anti-patriotic, to the point where he didn't even want Sam to take the shield out of its case because the mere sight of the ''stars and stripes'' offended him.
Yeah, but I think people are much more aware about romani representation after the MCU and the many discussions had about the whitewashing of the Maximoffs, so all eyes are on them now and their Doctor Doom casting, who is the other most relevant romani character Marvel has. They are definitely gonna strike a nerve if they go with a white actor again when they have the opportunity to actually represent a romani character for the first time in the MCU.
That's true, but comics are known to be progressive, so I don't think that's really an issue. I could argue about how christianity and islam also have problematic/outdated beliefs, but that never made Daredevil or Ms. Marvel be problematic. Not every religious person is the same, and as far as Marvel is concerned, religious heroes are always portrayed as representing the best and most positive aspects of their religions. You won't ever see Matt Murdock or Kamala Khan going around telling people that being queer is a sin, because they know that wouldn't sit well with many people.
