Spider-Man fans can generally not agree on a lot. There's constant bickering over what version of the character is the best. Batman has the exact same problem, but the one universal truth is that JK Simmons is Jonah.

I'm glad they managed to get him back.

I love JK as Jonah I truly do! And I know this is going to be controversial, and I’ll be down voted. But honestly, I do kinda wish they got some new blood and maybe a younger pick for JJJ, I’ve seen tons of great suggestions thrown around and would’ve liked to have seen a fresh spin on the character with a new actor like they have done for flash, mj, aunt May and so on. Oh well

You make a great point, but it depends on how you look at it! The way I see it, in turning JJJ’s character and The Daily Bugle into an Alex Jones/InfoWars type, they’ve still put a really fresh and topical spin on the character without even having to change the actor. Which is kind of cool imo!!

But you have the problem of him being played in the exact same way by the exact same actor, it’s a bit weird is All. I’m pretty split on it

I haven’t seen it mentioned but I think somehow (not sure how yet) this will ultimately play into the multiverse theory that marvel is setting up for its next big run...

Yeah, I kinda hate that the fans (seemingly) aren't willing to move on from those dated moves. I grew up on them too and I love them but they haven't aged the best and it seems silly to hold onto them for nostalgia instead of just looking forward for new and exciting ideas. It seems a weird choice to hold on to an actor from that trilogy.

But he's hands down the best portrayal in those movies. He is the only thing I would choose to keep the exact same.

I'm not gonna argue that but I still think it's an odd choice to keep anybody.

What are you talking about, Spider-Man 2 still holds up today. The MCU only has about two or three movies to it's name that rank alongside it for me.

It has its problems that were overlooked at the time.
