Overly Devoted Archivist Uncategorized #I have heard the Jewish origins of Cap mentioned a lot #Last thing I heard of Gravity Falls it was deeply anti-semetic which is a new one on me, #my mother occasionally makes jokes about her Jewish heritage #but I am not religious and our roots are apparently a touchy subject, Anyway that's a roundabout way of saying I apologise if I'm speaking about something I shouldnt be speaking about, disclaimer: I definitely have Jewish ancestors and my mother's father was Jewish #I am apparently part Jewish 0 Comments

Things I frequently see on my dash that were (originally) (co-) created by Jewish people:

• Supernatural
• Doctor Who
• Captain America / The Avengers
• Futurama
• Steven Universe
• Gravity Falls

Number of times I have seen the Jewish origins and connections of any of these mentioned:

I see posts about their Jewish origins but they are all made by Jewish people.

Doctor Who was almost entirely created by Jewish people –

Verity Lambert (co-producer)
Sydney Newman (co-producer)
Carole Ann Ford (played Susan)
Louis Marks (one of the early writers)
Tom Baker (played Four, still probably the most well-known Doctor, & is half Jewish)
David Graham (did voice work for the old series including the Daleks)
Will Cohen (head of special effects for most of the new series)

You’d never know it from either Tumblr or the major fansites, though.
