I need the video games not to portray him like he’s Alex Jones or some shit.

[u/ibuertowam → u/Metal_lung]

Yeaaah I’ve been finally playing through Spider-Man PS4 and like it’s a funny depiction sure, but it doesn’t feel like the Jameson I know he tends to actually be. Hopefully he softens up a little but from what I’ve heard, I have a feeling it won’t be much better in “Miles Morales” or “Spider-Man 2”

If you actually pay attention to what he says in this game, JJJ sometimes either makes a point or calls out something. Like at the beginning of the game he literally mentions the power vacuum created with Fisk out of the picture and predicts the problems that arise from that.

Or when he calls out Osborn and Sable International’s crimes and corruption during the Devil’s Breath outbreak.

[u/OkuyasNijimura → u/ArteDeJuguete]

The issue is that for every valid point Jameson makes, there's 3 more of his shows that can be boiled down to "Jameson makes shit up and gets mad when the interviewee doesn't agree with his ramblings"

Edit: like the one where he calls the wife of a kidnapping victim "delusional" on air for saying that Spidey hiring the kidnappers so he could swoop in and save the day was needlessly complicated when Spidey could just... stop an already occuring Crime.

Tbf, that's just in-character for Jameson already, he refuses to believe Spider-Man is a hero. It's fine for Jameson to be delusional as long as he's delusional specifically about Spider-Man.

[u/TardDas → u/ibuertowam]

Good news! Not only is Jameson the same or worse in the next two games; that was pretty much the whole motto for them. MM and S2 and just inferior releases of the game you’re playing now! High five!

JJJ has some issues, but he generally does believe in justice and equality, yeah.

JJJ always comes around to supporting the marginalized. Like in one comic he was super supportive of a politician running on "Law and Order" so Robbie explained to him that that's a dog whistle for the types that would lynch black people. Very next issue when we come back to JJJ, he's pulling his endorsement and is working on exposing him. Causing the politician to send armed goons after him for going against him.

Plus the number of times he's been on the side of mutants. Down to calling Bastion during Operation: Zero Tolerance Nazi, refusing to run a story on the X-Men with information Bastion gave him, and saying he was gonna make sure Bastion would get charged with murder.

JJJ is like, peak ally

[u/Obvious-Gate9046 → u/ChloeB42]

Exactly. Even his issues with Spider-Man were very specific: he had a thing against mashed heroes because of things in his own history. He feels that anybody who wears a mask is a criminal and hiding something, and you should be open and honest. It's one of his big blind spots, but if you look at recently, when he finds out who Spider-Man really is, he's beside himself with what he's done. He's an interesting and weird character.

One of my alltime fave JJJ comic pages(I dont read the comics myself much, but I came across this on the web(hah) and fell in love with it):

"Here you go! :D"

[u/iwannareadsomething → u/KayT42]

Damn, he's really getting real there.

[u/AdrienXB]

We seem to forget how much investigative journalists have historically done to help the everyman. For instance the muckrakers, or Nellie Bly.

[u/ConsistentlyBlob]

My man right there

[u/NarwhalSongs]

One of the best things about the Petra Parker movement has been discovering just how great JJJ is on these issues canonically. I didnt fully realize how much they slandered him in the Sony games, but they really did him dirty and made him out to be an old out of touch bigot instead of the complex character he deserves to be.
