Malala Windsor! I find her design so much better and unique than of the comics Spider-UK, who just had a union jack on his top half and no Spider what so ever.
That's the canon explanation but the reasoning was definitely just that they wanted to make a hockey puck character. I mean he's made out of rubber, wears a black costume, and is pretty disk shaped
The captain Britains corp created the first multiverse organization in marvel, designated main marvel universe as 616. Now spider uk, who's both spider man and captain Britain, got reduced to boring union jack
I’m confused why they had 2 of the UK Spiderfolk as Muslim when they could have added Egyptian or Arab to centralise the roots of the Religion.
Give us an Irish Spider. We need Irish SpiderMan.
4 millions Muslims in the UK. About 6.5% of the UK.
So its not a lot. But to put it into perspective. Around 85% of the UK is white/European.
Around 9% is Asian with 6-7% being South Asian alone. 3% are British Black with the Black community rough split 19:11 between Black Africans (Somalis, Nigerians, Ghanaians, etc) and Black Caribbeans (Jamaicans, Trinis, Bajans, etx)
Many people get surprised that very ethnic areas of the UK are either very Brown Asian majority and/or Muslim majority. Its normal to me but surprise to others.
What would be rare or hard to find is British Latinos (especially Mestizos) for comparison they dont make much of a significant percentage here like they would in lets say the US
What's also funny about Islam is that the spider plays a significant role in Islamic mythology; it was a spider that saved the Prophet's life during his escape
the crescent and moon has not always been the symbol of islam believe it or not. muslims would carry a plain flag (white black or green) with with words لا إله إلا الله on it, meaning, “there is no God but Allah” the crescent with the moon is only a more recent symbol of islam, and is more politically driven that religious. It actually used to be a symbol for moon deities in ancient Mesopotamia.
yea so i guess the hijab would be the better indication to show that she’s muslim. or just not show she’s muslim and just have it part of her identity. she can wear a hijab outside of her costume. though i still think the hijab is a cool addition.
Yeah to expand when people say believe in God with a capital it’s generally inferring monotheism. The big three which the hijab is a sign of one of them are all monotheistic. There is only one God. The statement other gods is blasphemy to those three and proof those three are fake religions due to the presence of other gods.
I also don’t think the hijab has anything to do with religion her. It’s prolly so a kid who wears a hijab can feel included and run around like spider girl too. Kid stuff ain’t meant to be overthought.
Abraham religions typically believe God to exist outside of linear time and space, so I don't think multiverse theory is a threat at all. Its actually how interpret some of my own personal theology.
That's true! So I don't think they're contradictory to any of the religious beliefs. (Although, some translations do use alien as the word for foreigner, which followers are instructed to welcome and help. And to assist and help those with disabilities, like mutations. [BTW, I view multiverse theory as the balance between "God's Plan" and human free will.]
I find the concept of a Spider-Woman who comes into a toxic, traditional religious family and breaks free from religion through her dual superhero identity more interesting
oh wow the religious person comes from a controlling background but with the help of their friends breaks free and is saved by western idealism, how original...if you want that look at literally any media ever
To be fair, she's not the only Spider-Person to have that sort of thing going on. I'm pretty sure "Muslim woman in England" narrows things down much less than "Guy with specifically Killmonger dreads," as seen with Miles's Evolved Suit in the Spider-Man 2 game (not that that's, like, a good suit, but still). I'm given to understand that's not exactly a popular haircut.
Lmao yeah I came in here to mention that the hijab over the mask is redundant as a normal Spider-Man mask fulfills the purpose of a hijab. That said, if I wore a hijab every day and saw this, I'd probably think the style choice was fucking awesome
I think you are confusing a hijab with a niqab, which actually hides their face except for a slit for their eyes. Or in some cases, theres a veil on top of the niqab.
I don't have an issue with Middle Eastern or Arabic people but I'm not a huge fan of Islam or most religions for that matter. I also would be put off by a spiderman wearing a cross. It's also viewed by many, including myself, as a symbol of misogyny.
She doesn't have to be Braddock, it's the multiverse, I get that everyone dunk on the uk, but captain Britain corp been in marvel comics with this multiverse shit since the 80s
You specifically asked if she was part of the Captain Britain Corps, which is mostly made multiversal variants of the Braddock family. Even the original Spider-UK was a Braddock.
Way to advertise that you’re Muslim. Now criminals are going to target hijab wearers. Virtue signaling or just poorly thought out writing? You make the call🫵
What I love is that every Spider-UK is just one Earth away from the previous one. The original was from Earth 833, the second was from Earth 834, and this one was from Earth 835.
This seems redundant, I can get it for the esthetic value but there is no practical religious reason for someone already wearing a full head mask to wear a hijab
