Amazing Spider-Man 2: J. Jonah Jameson Takes Issue With Damage Caused By Spider-Man

viral site for the upcoming film The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has updated again, this time with an editorial straight from the desk of J. Jonah Jameson himself. The piece takes issue with the amount of damages Spider-Man causes while trying to stop crime throughout New York City. Here's the article:

An Editorial from Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson Recently, Spider-Man got involved in the apprehension of a carjacker. The web he spun blocking the thief's path on East 61st Street forced the driver to divert to First Avenue. While driving in the wrong direction, the carjacker hit four cars, one of which crashed through the front of a coffee shop…one of those places that serves that stupid latte art Melissa Hutchins loves so much. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but police estimate over four hundred thousand in damages were incurred. Of course, civilians applauded as the wall-crawling vigilante pulled the thief out of his damaged car. Did any of them notice the damage left in Spider-Man's wake? Last December, Spider-Man pursued a bank robber named Herman Schultz who was using homemade weapons that emitted vibrational shock waves. Over two hundred photos of Schultz, hanging upside down from a twisted street light in a cocoon of webbing, were posted online. Including several with police officers (all of whom were reprimanded). Did anyone consider that during Spider-Man's prolonged pursuit and apprehension of Schultz, a city bus, a police car, two streetlights, a fire hydrant and twenty feet of sidewalk were destroyed? Estimated damage: $2.8 million dollars. And who's paying for Spider-Man's actions? I am. You are. And every other taxpayer in this city. It's clear Spider-Man's results do not justify the reckless methods he employs. When is he going to finally realize this and just stop?

Sounds like Jameson has an axe to grind with the wall crawler. Surprise, surprise. We've always known that Spider-Man's most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead. It's great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hits theaters May 2, 2014.
