#Marvel#Marvel comics#Marvel 58163#House of M: Avengers#Moon Knight comics#Moon Knight#Marc Spector#Iron Fist#Danny Rand#I guess I wanted to give these panels their own post because there’s just….something about them I wanted to discuss more#this is diving dangerously close to «personal opinion» territory (so please feel free to ignore all that follows)#but I guess I just wish this point had been developed a bit more because for the past 5 issues Marc’s refused to change because the cowl’s#«spiritual significant» to him and I’m (again personally) of the idea that something that important to someone is not easily foregone#idk this is probably stemming more from the long conversations I’ve had about «when outward displays of faith become dangerous#when should you start changing what you do? Should you ever? Is it a greater show of faith to continue on despite the danger?#Do you only practice in secret? Or is doing whatever you must to survive a greater show of endurance#living and working to make the necessary changes within the system so that one day you might be able to practice openly in peace?»#sorry for getting philosophical and sorry for being perhaps unfair to a friggin comic book particularly for a minor character#but I’m feeling a little uncharitable because I was dodging violence against women/close up shots of women’s rears this entire series#(if this post looks a little weirdly cropped it’s because I chose to exclude the panel where unlike what Danny + Marc get here#there’s a very male-gaze look at Angela and Felicia undressing)#and again! (at least on that second point because that might have been entirely Perkins’ doing) I might be being a little unfair#but that sort of content doesn’t inspire me to believe that the creators were asking complex questions when they had Marc hang up his#spiritually significant hood but maybe were thinking things like «is spirituality really /that/ significant compared to tactical efficacy?»#something that…gets me when about a guy who has demonstrated that spirituality is uniquely/complexly important to him#anyway this is entirely my opinion on something that is very much up to reader interpretation so please ignore me rambling#(and quite possibly simply blowing things completely out of proportion) in the tags hahaha
