    Default J. Jonah Jameson Appreciation 2020


    I wanted to make one for a while, but had to space between this and making two threads earlier so I wouldn't make too many threads in a short period of time.



    And our favorite newspaper comic relief of a publisher deserves to be appreciated, he is a grumpy old dude with an attitude that makes him hard to love, but the more you know him the more you feel he is one of the best bosses you could ever work under.
    TRUTH, JUSTICE, HOPE
    That is, the heritage of the Kryptonian Warrior: Kal-El, son of Jor-El

    Looks like I'll have to move past gameplay footage

    Agreed. Also, I enjoyed the appearances he made in his son's series:

    Ed Asner did such a fabulous delivery of Jonah Jameson's touching and dramatic moments I couldn't help but instinctively read the words in his voice.

    J.K. Simmons made for a great Jameson cast, he would've been a good match for Holland's Spidey.

    The character may come across as a pure comic relief, but he had something going for him: he was the only one to notice that Superheroes didn't wear a full mask, back in the 60's.

    Agreed. He also showed a lot of integrity during Frank Miller's run on Daredevil.

    As he did at the end of Stern's run, but as described by Ditko, he was someone willing to forego his moral values, in order to get back at Spidey. This duality was always present, but the better writers ignored one side, to present a more believable character and give him some depth.

    Indeed, he was one of the best parts of the 90s animated series.

    And in Operation: Zero Tolerance, where he refused to run Bastion's propaganda in The Daily Bugle, stating that regardless of his suspicions and distrust of clandestine superpowered groups like the X-Men, he could never support Operation: Zero Tolerance using "law and order" and "national security" as a smokescreen to violate the civil, constitutional, and human rights of American citizens. Mad respect there.
