R.I.P STAN LEE

[Skyboxer]

I spent most of that night watching bio's etc.. of this legend.
so sad..
He was such an influential part pf many lives.


R.I.P Mr. Lee

[TripleCrown9]

I hadn't posted because I wasn't quite sure what to say.

His creations have played a huge part in helping me with depression. I obviously didn't know him personally, but he's been one of my biggest inspirations and influences, and I'll forever be grateful.

I don't know where I'd be today if it wasn't for rediscovering comic books, and there's a good chance that those comics wouldn't be there to rediscover if it wasn't for Stan Lee. He not only brought them back to the forefront in the 60s, but just look at the culture now and how impactful it is to millions of people.

Thanks Mr. Lee. Rest in peace, have a drink with Mr. Ditko.

Also, side note, now if you search "Excelsior" on Netflix, it brings up every Marvel thing they have.

Interesting Esquire article

Obviously a lot more complicated a guy than we usually think.

I for one hadn't posted because I just couldn't think how to put into words what he meant to people. No matter who you were chance is that you knew the name Stan Lee. He meant so much to so many fans he never got the chance to meet. He was a legend no matter what stories may come out after his passing.

These accounts have been coming out since the early 90's, and despite their veracity, Lee never took a direct hit. He was a great driver of the industry but guys like Kirby didn't get their just dues for years.

So....I wonder if Keith Olbermann still does his worst person of the week shtick somewhere because Bill Maher deserves it in spades. The guy basically badmouthed Stan lee then goes on a diatribe against comic book creators and fandom in general.


I've lost any respect I once had for Maher. He has long ago crossed the line from trenchant, honest criticism to outright bullying. He's no better than the people he castigates on a regular basis.
