The Leader’s doomed-from-the-start bombing of the video call was a moment I’d had in my head since the early days of this storyline. The fact that he kidnapped the least tech-savvy, least cinematically-fluent internet personality that he could find – J. Jonah Jameson – was the icing on the cake of this failed moment of villainous monologuing.
I always enjoy finding any opportunity that I can for somebody to call out Tony Stark in front of Iron Man, when he has to maintain the illusion of his secret identity and thus doesn’t have the ability to stand up for himself. That’s the price you pay for being a genius/billionaire/playboy/philanthropist who gets his kicks punching evil robots, Tony!
