It was never brought up that his son's fiancee was now dating the employee he has a love/hate relationship with. I would think that would bring up even more crazy issues knowing that his freelancer hooked up with the girl that left his son at the altar.
 
Maybe it is a plot hole, it was discussed.
But perhaps JJJ doesn't care much anything about anyone, that's him.

D!
 
I think it's fair to say they decided not to announce it to him.
 
Well peter never really divulged too much information to anyone about his personal life so I doubt he would of mentioned it to JJJ.

Even if so, JJJ probably wouldnt of cared i mean look at his reaction when he realised his son was being jilted.

"Call Deborah, tell her not to open up the caviar!"
 
I don't think JJJ even knew and if he did he would not care
 
JJJ only cared that he didn't have to pay for the catering at the wedding.

"Call Deborah. Tell her not to open the caviar" :joker:
 
It shouldnt have been ignored. It would have been an interesting topic. JJJ needs parker but he also is not pleased with him stealing his son's once bride-to-be. Whatever I wouldnt expect an already bloated movie to follow continutity with one of the plotlines from the previous movie.

One more reason SM3 sucks I guess. :whatever:
 
1) He probably wouldn't care. He'd only care about those pix of Spidey (if they do a wedding in the next one I'd love it if JJJ showed up and did a double take when he saw who the bride was).

2) He probably doesn't know as Peter never tells JJ about his personal life and JJJ obviously doesn't care.

and

3) It wasn't relavent to this already overstuffed movie and since JJJ is played off almost entirely (like 99% of the time in the movies) as a comic relief character it doesn't matter. I can think of only maybe one instant in each movie he shows any humanity and it is usally followed by a joke, anyway.
 
maybe that's the real reason he's on medication because of all the stress caused by his son's failed wedding...

i'm sure it was scripted but left out because they favoured giving him a comical scene over a serious one...

oh and i sincerely doubt that parker is going out with MJ. It would have been nice though if eddie would have taken some pics of parker and mj together to get him 'fired' from the bugle and with the addition of photoshopping spidey, it would have given symbiote spidey some more motivation to go evil and also made eddie seem more like a sleaze and worthy of getting fired.
 
JJJ is the type of guy that is sooo wrapped up in himself and his Newspaper. That he would keep a guy who stole away his sons fiance....

ONLY BECAUSE THAT VERY SAME GUY....

IS THE ONLY GUY ON THE FACE OF THE WORLD WHO CAN GET HIM PICTURES OF SPIDER-MAN!!!!

so yes I can see JJJ not firing Peter for what he did to his astronaut son.

without Spider-Man pictures and headlines the Bugle is nothing, Peter is too valuable. JJJ knows but doesn't care.

END OF DISCUSSION.

I don't think JJJ cared. I think John most likely & Louise (MJ's understudy in the play from movie 2) moved on and started dating each other .
 
JJJ probably has this thing called a newspaper to run, and really doesn't care that Peter is dating his son's ex-fiance.
 
This subplot doesn't matter nor affect the overall theme so it really shouldn't be mentioned. Plus, JJJ wouldn't give a rats @ss about MJ and who her current beau is.
 
By the start of Spidey 3, Peter is not yet a full-time employee of JJJ. Thus, everyone's points above hold true, that JJJ and most of the Bugle staff don't know about Parker's personal life outside of him snapping Spidey pix for them.

The only one there at the Bugle who would be even slightly hip would be Robbie, esp. given the sidelong glance he gave Peter in Spidey 2 when he said "I heard Spider-man was there...". In the books, Robbie had a great intuition concerning Peter and his relationship to Spidey, probably enough to connect the dots for himself. But given Robbie's integrity, he's not gonna rat Pete out to Jonah.

On another note, John Jameson DID know about MJ's past with Peter, and is no doubt fully aware of her feelings for him. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't put two and two together to surmise that the same 'pal' that MJ referred to as a 'jerk' in Spidey 2 was the one she ran off to. Either way, I doubt John is hurting too deeply, I mean, he's a #@%@$@#n astronaut for cryin out loud!

That said, Jonah barely pays attention to Hoffman half the time (if he did, he'd realize that he's Raimi's brother and is probably in the closet), so no doubt he's gonna be all into some punk kid photographer.

"I never promised a job! Meat! I'll send you a nice box of Christmas meat!"
"Freelance! Best thing for a kid your age!"
 
I would have found it weird for JJJ to bring up Peter/MJ dating during the movie since you know a significant amount of time passed between the ending of the second/beginning of the third.

I'll have to blame his long term memory loss on his myriads of medications he takes........and dealing with Hoffman's brilliant ideas on a daily basis.
