Film Theory: Is J Jonah STEALING From Spiderman?

Subscribe to never miss a Theory! ► bit.ly/1dI8VBH
At the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home, we were given one of the biggest reveals in the MCU so far! Bigger than Thanos. Bigger that the original reveal of Nick Fury. It was the reveal of J Jonah Jameson - and not just ANY J Jonah Jameson! We were rewarded with the familiar face of JK SImmons, the same J Jonah from the Sam Raimi Spiderverse! That bombshell got my Theorist brain tingling with ideas. Today, we are focusing on J Jonah himself and figuring out once and for all if he is a good boss or a CROOK!

So, MatPat was right?

[@user-ov6jg4ug9d]

Any constructive criticism? Or was he pretty much on point? And thank you for helping people I feel lawyers tend to get a bad rep

[@Givens43]

@@Azure70 So it does get a little bit tricky without knowing if a WFH agreement was signed. In most cases, both parties will sign this beforehand to ensure everyone is on the same page. Even without that though, the law is in favor of JJJ because of one major oversight that MatPat did not mention (and I don't blame him because it's pretty complicated legal stuff, lol). Here is why: THE PICTURES OF SPIDERMAN ARE NOT THE FINISHED WORK. So yes, Peter is a freelancer who is being paid for his work, but technically, it could still be recognized as his work if no WFH agreement is signed. However, the pictures aren't the finished product, and this means everything in the eye of the law. Because JJJ is putting these pictures into his newspaper and writing stories surrounding them, Peter's contribution is considered to be a "collective work". And as MatPat accurately stated, he was paid for his contribution towards it so even though he didn't officially sign a WFH, once he took the money for a collective work, he unknowingly joined a WFH agreement. The finished newspapers are the completed work, and those (and everything inside of it) are owned by JJJ and The Daily Bugle. Therefore, JJJ legally owns those pictures of Spiderman.

The Amazing Spider-Man series is severely underrated. The acting was great, the only real problems I had with it was that both J. K. Simmons and J. J. Jameson were both absent and Harry was the Green Goblin instead of Norman. I would have loved to see Chris Cooper as Green Goblin.

[@attilaseyfullah8522]

In the comics, Peter actually does make a lot of money from the pictures. However he uses it to pay for his aunt's rent and new photo gear. And since he doesn't always have important fights all the time, the pictures are rarer than we think. Because people would get used to him cathcing common crooks, only his fights with super villains or big gangs actually make the real money.

You know the main thing about spiderman? is, yes he's probably naive, he probably doesn't know he's being taken advantage of, but he also probably just went "oh well, I'm not in it for the fame anyway." He does what he does because most who have power, use it for their own benefit and most try to harm people and try to straight up destroy his city...Spiderman has always had a fairly straight set moral compass, he's a bit like Saitama in that way, He doesn't care if Jay Jonah is spouting nonsense, He pretty much went "ahh well I tried, he's the boss not me ohh well." and to be honest? People look up and cheer for him, they cheer for him because he's the hero...they have probably seen or heard of his acts of justice firsthand or secondhand...if anything the people in this city already know of Jay Jonah's libel and just don't care, like he's probably spouted so much he's crying wolf again...if anything people might subscribe to his newpaper because of the outrageous libel he produces...like he might as well be The Onion at this point, only he's being serious...in which case it's just kinda sad. In summary Spiderman just doesn't care if people hate him or fear him, he knows he's doing whats right in his heart, and considering that the Boston Bugle has always had Libel issues people might just buy it to point and laugh at it...like how some people buy National Enquirer just for shits and giggles...

Actually, Tasm2 had the daily bugle. And JJ. It was a Easter egg, but Peter was selling photos online to The Daily Bugle Website. He said to JJ "Could you consider that maybe Spider-Man is a good guy?" and JJ replied something along the lines of "Are you crazy?" or "Heck No!" This kinda triggered my OCD a bit.

[@daniboypicazzo]

I don't know if somebody else has already said this, but I'll say it anyway: Although it was proven that J. Jonah was in all his right to sell those pictures, we have to think on something: In Spider-Man 3, Spidey IS a public figure now. Look no further that the key ceremony when he lets not only a bunch of civilians but also a lot of publications take pictures of him and Gwen smooching. Maybe he was difficult to catch in the past, but, by that point it's really easy to believe that those pictures are not from Peter's camera. And also, with the Eddie Brock example, it was a personal problem against Eddie what made him break his camera. So, in conclusion: Even if it wasn't on J.J.'s right sell those photos, we have no explicit evidence he actually did it. But that's just a theory, A Comments Section Theory! Thanks for reading ;3

Good thought; however I see one major flaw to it. It's not that others can't get Spidey pictures at all; it's that they can't consistently get the same high-quality, most-current action shots that Jameson sells off after he buys them from Peter. That ceremony was a planned, singular event and Spidey was the guest of honor. It would be abjectly stupid for other media outlets not to have photographers present. Jameson also has no right to bar rivals from such a public event, so there was nothing he could do about that even if he wanted to. If people are willing to sell photos the others might be able to coast through buying those for a period if they find really good ones (maybe 3 days tops due to news cycles), however archive photos reach a point where they lose impact on the newsstand from a selling standpoint

[@adekoyejoadegbite8887]

I feel like this theory doesn't stand for this reason: In Spider-Man 3, there is a scene where Peter goes to a big celebration dressed as Spider-Man where there are many photographers around. This shows that there has been an opportunity for other people to snag HD photos of Spidey. I feel like that was not the first public appearance Peter did. But that is just my take! :)

There is room for both to be true. Any photos taken at a public appearance would be common. The ones Peter sells to the Bugle are all unique which could drive up the price should JJJ choose to try and resell them.

[@chiroh145]

That situation is the exception most of the time he's usually not caught in the high quality only peter can get because he's taking them himself

[@Blastoise461]

Actually technically all of the above. Under U.S. law fan art typically falls under fair use (provided it's different enough from an existing "official" art.) So in that scenario, Marvel would have the rights to Spiderman the character, while the creator of the fan art would have the rights to the art itself. He wouldn't be able to say the character is his because Spiderman doesn't belong to him, but he would absolutely be able to profit off of the picture parodying Spiderman.

Do you think he could do a film theory on “Parasite”, *the Korean movie* because if he were to it would be really cool (edit) A lot of people were also asking why and I wanted to clear that up. Since he made an “us” theory I thought it would have been cool if he made a parasite one

In art commissions, I've seen a few artists that give full rights to the client. So that other people trying to use the art for fan projects can't ask them for permission, they have to ask the buyer instead.
