TheDailyBugle.net: Spider-Man is a Menace
I held off on this thinking that Spider-Man was exiting the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and our coverage).
However, Tom Holland — literally — saved the day, and our friendly neighborhood web-slinger stayed put in the MCU.
So, I bring you J. Jonah Jameson slandering our favorite superhero.

The Hollywood Reporter explained:
He was one of the best things about Spider-Man: Far From Home, and now J.K. Simmons is back as perpetually angry editor J. Jonah Jameson as part of a new promotional effort for the digital and Blu-ray release of the film.
The short video repositions J. Jonah Jameson as an InfoWars-esque video host ranting about the fact that Spider-Man isn’t a hero, but instead “a psychopath wielding powers he has no right to possess” — admittedly familiar subject matter in a somewhat unfamiliar setting, although it mirrors to an extent JJJ’s current comic book status quo where he’s a radio pundit with an outraged opinion on the topic of the day.
Throughout Spider-Man’s history, Jameson has been a public figure — he’s been the Daily Bugle’s editor and, later, publisher, as well as the mayor of New York City — who has built his reputation on declaring that Spider-Man is an untrustworthy menace to the good folk around him, despite mounting evidence to the contrary. To that end, Jameson has occasionally helped the careers of a number of Spider-Man’s foes in the hopes of “exposing” him, although his own tradition of being equally menacing has, unsurprisingly, passed him by. The character debuted in 1963’s The Amazing Spider-Man No. 1, created by Spider-Man co-creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
A Fun Way To Reintroduce Spider-Man: Far From Home
“The Daily Bugle” is pretty fun:
But be sure to check out the video of Flash Thompson:
THR reported:
The video [of Jameson] is part of a wider Daily Bugle site set up to promote the home release of Spider-Man: Far From Home, with other stories referencing the movie in a number of ways, including whether or not the “Night Monkey” is a hero or menace. Some things, it seems, are constants no matter what costume Peter Parker wears to save the day.
However, fans are already speculating as to what comes next.
What Happens Next For Spidey?
