    Default Should Jameson know Peter is Spider-Man?

    I really don't think so. I understand people want characters to evolve, but doing so gets rid of the fun dynamic is part of what makes the character so great.

    Good Marvel characters- Bring Them Back!!!

    I mean JJJ is more than just an angry foil, and I think that writers have found fun new ways to play with JJJ knowing Peter is Spidey (Zdarsky and BMB in particular) so I like JJJ knowing Peter is Spidey. It kind of forces him to put up or shut up and evolve past the hate.

    Honestly? This situation has lasted longer than I thought it would.

    Can't explain why Peter doesn't tell Aunt May at this point.

    JJ knowing makes for a few good stories, but in the long run it takes away the purpose of the character.

    Tbf, he’d lost the point to his character a long time ago which is likely why they changed it up.

    There's idk how many stories with Jonah as a Spider-Man hater and there'll be plenty more with mini-series and stuff. IDK why you'd want his character to regress..

    I think they should do more with it, feels like Jameson's barely in the comics these days.

    Hell yeah, its the one of the few character progression that I still have. so far, Zdarsky Spencer and even Slott did good stuff with it. I have to constantly worried about the possibility that Jameson will regressed whenever a new story or run is coming.

    Agreed. The antagonism between Jonah and Spider-Man is one of the biggest staples of the series. It's not worth losing.

    In general, the fewer people who know Spider-Man's secret identity, the better. But especially Jonah and May.

    I enjoy the fact that he knows now. I enjoyed the story points they did with him understanding how wrong he was on his hate and how much damage he caused with his stories and lies, not to mention the funding of the Spider Slayers, The Scorpion, and The Fly.

    I Enjoy that he knows and want it to stick around. I also want May to go back to knowing.

    I feel at this point if he goes back to not knowing and hating Spidey again it would b a huge step back for the character.

    This is gonna sound weird but the day Jonah regresses back to his normal self I'll consider stopping reading Spider-Man.

    Agreed, I feel like Aunt May not knowing is such a big loss on so many levels as well

    We've had decades of antagonism between Jonah and Spider-Man. I think we've squeezed every drop of juice we can out of that fruit.

    Actually Jolly Jonah is quite fun--it's a novel way to keep him around while not bringing back the Bugle wholesale.

    That said, the "biggest spidey hater" chair has been vacant for a while. Unless they find a character for that niche, classic JJJ will eventually reemerge

    Lmao what if Spidey gets Randy wife arrested, and Randy swears eternal vengeance...and puts Peter on blast on TikTok
