I wish J. Jonah Jameson would just go back to publishing The Daily Bugle , I miss the staff , and some of the best stories revolved around the staff

Once the adoption papers are through, Jonah will start running a small pawn shop with his son Pete, and for Christmas he will gift him a microscope.
The Bugle is like the heart and soul of J. Jonah Jameson. I can't see him ever truly moving on from it.
(And has Peter really moved past the Bugle? He hasn't been able to keep a job as long as he's worked at the Bugle. He was working there again only a few months ago).
I really do miss just seeing the Bugle gang on a frequent basis. We get that less and less these days. Robbie's lucky to even merit a mention, let alone seeing the light of day in an adaption.
I mean, I get that. But it feels more of the same. I love Robbie, Betty, Ben, and all of them, but it's a little different now rather than before. Having them be a part of the Spider-Man books is charming, but having both Peter and Jonah still there after 56 years seems like too much regression is far more than both men at this point. Even the PS4 game had neither at the Bugle, and that informed Jonah's new job here.
And yes, Peter (and Nick Spencer for that matter) seems to have moved on from the Bugle. Even if he had the Science editor job, which I actually liked, he's not the same character that he was then.
I just don't really see the Bugle as a regression for Jonah. His identity and character is too rooted in the Bugle in my opinion, and it was a position of power and conflict that I think defines a lot of who he is.
But they did have Lois Jane in there to give the Bugle at least some presence, though poor Robbie was still just reduced to a name-drop.Even the PS4 game had neither at the Bugle, and that informed Jonah's new job here.
I don't think he's all that different from when he last worked there characterization-wise. He took a nosedive in maturity post-OMD but Spencer seems to be fixing that.And yes, Peter (and Nick Spencer for that matter) seems to have moved on from the Bugle. Even if he had the Science editor job, which I actually liked, he's not the same character that he was then.
But, really, what job can Peter have at this point? He's basically been blacklisted or discredited from everything. He can't seem to keep a job for as long as when he was a photographer.
I just kinda miss the Daily Bugle as being that one thing that grounded all the silliness
Peter Parker being cloned 37 times , Peter Parker in outer space , Peter Parker in different dimensions , Peter Parker staring in Freaky Friday with Doc Ock , etc, etc , etc
And the Bugle was always a great way to introduce new character , who then can go one to create new story arcs ,

Nick is going to Bugle eventually. He talked about how great it was, is always drinking the most rich and healthy continuity juice, and has Randy, Jonah, and the hanging Ned thread to segue into it.
Have faith in the Lord, for he shall always deliver.
If that's the way you see it, that's fine. But really at this point, it doesn't ultimately matter. Peter can have whatever job Spencer wants to give him. Or the next writer. Things change in comics, and they stay as well.
I'm not saying I don't want the Bugle...again...but it's going backwards when everyone wants to go forward. Or is it backwards?? Or forwards? If people can't make up their mind, then what's the point??
