    I think Jackman Wolverine is a very strong casting choice as evidenced by his success.

    But I think Simmons as J. Jonah is one in a lifetime, peak casting.

    Other people could play a comparably great Wolverine; I don’t think anyone is ever gonna top Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson

      (note: haven’t seen the new Spider-Man yet)

      I hate the infowars JJJ. I always thought about him as a fairly respectable journalist that just has it in for Spider-Man for some reason. Mostly cause his early career was very suspicious, and he assumes the worst.

      But the crazy conspiracy JJJ… Naw, that’s just kinda lame.

        Being convinced that Spider-Man is a menace is exactly the same mentality as the InfoWars insanity. That’s just a more developed JJJ.

          Nah. Alex Jones is just a fucking con artist, who also happens to be extremely mentally ill. He’s showed many indications over the years that he doesn’t believe half the shit he continues to promote.
