Let’s talk about this scene for a second in the 2002 Spider-Man.
J. Jonah Jameson was quick to deny that he knew how he got the photos of Spider-Man. Like immediately said “i don’t know, this stuff comes in the mail.” He immediately refused to reveal his sources.
Someone said it was because he’s such a shitty boss that he doesn’t remember Peter Parker’s name. But that’s not true since he’s constantly yelling it.
A google search will show there are more moments in the comics where he helps Peter/Spider-Man. Like below where he warns him of a bank robbery in progress. Now, I’m unsure about the context of the below instance, since idk if he knew Parker was Spider-Man here.
But it doesn’t stop with Peter Parker. He also refuses to publish that Miles Morales is Spider-Man.
I don’t think he gets enough credit beyond being the owner of the Daily Bugle and Peter Parker’s Spider-Man obsessed boss.
Now don’t get me wrong, I do think he is a dick to Peter on numerous occasions. However, in some of the comics he does end up taking back his thoughts on Spider-Man being a villain, helping to design a new suit for him, as well as encouraging police to back him. He even goes as far to admit that the things he published about him being a menace aren’t true.

outside of the fact that MY CHILDREN ARE TOGETHER AGAIN, i really like the changes hickman's made to the mythos. more than the characterisation of pete and mj, it's jjj i love in this.
jonah and ben working together's a nice touch, and ties nicely into the idea that og jonah gave pete a job partly because of the impact of ben's death on pete.
the "PARKER! PARKEEEEEER! oh hi pete" panels were a nice bit of humour, not too OTT. the fact that - outside of his vendetta against spider-man - og jonah is good at his job and has historically been on the side of minorities and civil rights comes through in jjj's reaction to events, as well as the conversation he has with ben.
and speaking of ben, i feel like 616 ben is mythologised a touch at times, so it's interesting to see hickman's take on a living ben parker who's had a whole lifetime with both may and pete, and how that would have informed his personality and his relationship with pete (and by extension, pete himself). it'd be interesting to know what the impetus for peter growing out of being an obnoxious, arrogant little shit as a teen into a well-rounded human being was, given the lack of ben dying and the lack of spider bite as a teen.

Do we think J Jonah Jameson and Ben Parker did it nightly in the Daily Bugle printing offices?

every once in a while I get this itch in my brain to go find that one version of Otto Octavius I really like, but I can never remember which of 10-million spider-man comics it's from.
Took me 3 days but I've found him again. It was 'The Spectacular Spider-Man (2003), for next time.
Just look at this dark wizard-lookin king. This is what top tier villainous presentation looks like. He's got the best design of the tentacles hands down.
mwah
thank you Humberto Ramos.
