Spider-Man PS4 The Heist Review: 4 Ups And 3 Downs

1. New J. Jonah Jameson Dialogue

Spider-Man PS4 J Jonah Jameson
Insomniac Games

Insomniac Games' version of J. Jonah Jameson was already a fantastic satire of online, InfoWars-esque personalities, but the studio may have saved his best rants for the DLC.

Among JJ's most hilarious monologues in the new story include him venting his absurd frustrations with "female-led reboots" and "shipping" - a trend in online fandom where people 'ship' two characters together. Surly old JJ decries the practice entirely, especially when people begin to ship Spider-Man and Black Cat, offering one piece of advice to those who do: "JOIN THE NAVY!"

It's frankly hilarious, and the idea of JJ embodying toxic fandom is even cleverer. Bravo, Insomniac. Bravo.
