Superman and the Jewish golem

[edit]

“Cleveland residents Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created the Superman comic character in the spirit of the Jewish golem.”

So then, I looked at the Superman page, and it says Judaic elements are hard to find in their comics, and that neither Siegel nor Shuster were practicing Jews. Should this be rewritten? Fringe, Suspect The (talk) 13:41, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One does not need to practice Judaism to be a Jew, as Judaism is an ethnoreligion (more info in Who is a Jew?). Secondly the article didn't just say that they're hard to find — before that there is a paragraph listing multiple scholars' perspectives supporting the Judaic reading, and a section saying that Siegel or Shuster neither confirmed or denied those perspectives (which is not surprising or indicative of much considering their relative obscurity after the creation of Superman and loss of the rights to him).
Actually the Superman article itself should be amended to include *this* information — "Siegel’s widow, June, in a 1996 interview with The Jewish Week said she never heard her husband deny the Jewish underpinning of Superman, who like the Jews after the Roman destruction of Jerusalem were forced to live in a strange world, keeping their true identities secret — like Clark Kent hiding behind glasses and a felt hat."

Nine Inch Nails is listed twice

[edit]

Under Culture > Arts > Music, Nine Inch Nails is listed twice. Furthermore, I feel like the band Hawthorne Heights from Dayton, Ohio deserves a mention.

That's all. Stellarzoneproductions (talk) 11:34, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

State Anthem

[edit]

The version of Beautiful Ohio used in this article is never played in any meaningful setting. Rather the instrumental variation played by the Ohio State Marching Band is played quite often. I recommend a change from the waltz to the Marching Band version as seen in this YouTube video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qVcD2CAbwno 184.54.135.30 (talk) 05:29, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For consideration for Arts section

Wait — just how did Ohio become the cradle of great cartoonists? (July 19, 2016) Mapsax (talk) 23:54, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
