Not sure if I should post this here, or in Crazy Ideas, but hear me out....

Ok, so this idea actually can't happen, but just imagine the possibilities.

I want to travel back to 2002 when they were making the Sam Raimi Spiderman movies. I want to take the cast they had working the Daily Bugle. I want them to star in a sitcom that is shot like The Office. The entire show takes place inside the Daily Bugle, with J Jonah Jameson basically having the Micheal Scott role. Except in the J Jonah Jameson style.

And since you only ever get to see/hear from 3-4 people besides Jameson, I figure you could fill out the cast with entirely new characters made just for this show.

No....I didn't just think this up as an excuse to get more Betty Brant/Peter Parker interactions. I also really like the actor who played J Jonah Jameson in those movies. Really nailed the role.

OH! And I guess Eddie Brock will eventually show up as a freelance photographer you see every few episodes, but just in quick scenes. Which, unfortunately would mean Topher Grace. Always hated that casting call. He would have made a GREAT Spiderman. Terrible Eddie Brock/Venom.

Well, now I'm just ranting I suppose.

J.K. Simmons is the actor and he's stellar in everything he does.

Such an idea would also heavily feature Robbie Robertson who, yeah, is kinda there in the movies...

Bill Nunn played him in the Ramie movies, but he was cut from the script for Amazing Spider-Man. 😔 and has yet to be brought back in the Marvel movies.

I guess he's in Spider-Noir though? Haven't seen it yet...

Hey can I join you in your dream world and also get an adaptation of Astro City made?
