Hello, Internet.

Welcome to Film Theory.

The show that totally called the MCU's reimagining of the Daily Bugle long before its surprise appearance at the end of Far From Home.

It's no exaggeration to say that I've spent countless hours thinking about Spider-Man's complex boss. But recently, one of you gave me a bit of a challenge.

Reddit user, years ago, they tried t. It's not they tried it,

it's they tried T. Anyway, this Reddit user posted a theory that J. Jonah Jameson was illegally selling

Peter Parker's photos. To quote from that theory on Reddit, it's clear from the Spider-Man

1 that Peter is the only one that would be able to take the cinematic, high-quality photos

he supplies to the Daily Bugle.

However, let's look here at the many publications showcasing these sorts of photos in Spider-Man

3. Where did these publications get the right to publish these photos? As far as we know,

Peter doesn't sell his photos to anyone except the Daily Bugle. Part of the reason he's so poor

all the time with JJ consistently low-balling him. Therefore, it makes sense that these other publications couldn't have gotten the photos from anyone except the Daily Bugle, i.e. J. Jonah J. Jonah J. Jonah was selling Peter's photos for money,

evidenced by other publications having Spider-Man photos.

He didn't give up Peter to the Green Goblin because of Peter's monetary value to him.

Not because he is a refined Valley dude. I don't know what refined Valley dude means.

I think it just means he's a stand-up guy. The point is, this post was as good as flashing the theory symbol in the sky.

And I have seen the call. So today we're putting J. Jonah on trial to see if he's just an innocent newsie or a dirty, rotten media scoundrel.

Now, as much as I'd love to write this about the MCUs, Jameson, the last time Spidey and Jay Jonah shared some serious screen time together was back in Sam Ramey's extremely influential superhero trilogy.

I know those movies came out a long time ago.

Like a long time ago.

Like a chunk of this audience wasn't even born when the first one came out.
