OT: RIP Stan Lee

[Mano]

I was never a big comics guy, but his impact can’t be denied. 95 years old.

Stan Lee, Marvel Comics' Real-Life Superhero, Dies at 95

A hero who made heroes come to life. Rip, stan.

Another piece of my childhood gone. Almost all of my allowance as kid was used to purchase Marvel comics. Pretty much a God to all of us geeks and nerds. He’s the co-founder of perhaps the greatest and most influential Sci-Fi universe ever created. For example, Stars Wars’s Darth Vader is a rip off from Marvels Victor Von Doom (Dr. Doom). I still own over two thousand Marvel comics myself and remember his editorials and notes in the back of the comics.

Excelsior mighty one

Loved Spiderman as kid. It won't be a Marvel movie with the Stan Lee cameo.

CGI? I can see him showing up in the background of various scenes, especially if time travel is involved. It can be delicate, but if Michael Jackson and Prince can put on full hologram concerts, they can get Stan a cameo in a movie that is supposed to stretch reality.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm kind of okay with the end of the era, but I kind of like the tribute. I think that he would too.

Marvel doesn't need CGI. Many of his cameos have been on posters in the background scenes of various TV series and movies. As long as he ok'd continued use of his image in his will and/or his family daughter approves it, he ca be in Marvel movies in perpetuity.

He should have shared the credit with Steve Ditko.

SMH. And I’m a fan of Mike but it’s impossible to defend him for things like this.
Horrible

Smilin Stan and Jumpin Jack. RIP.

I love comics, I learned to draw as a kid from comics. Stan was a genius in this field. I actually had the very first Spiderman as a kid. If I still had it, I could retire. Makes me cringe when I see the value of comics I actually had in the 50’s and 60’s. But who’d a thunk it? Usually back then your mom ended up throwing them out.

The patriarch of my super hero fandom. May he rest in heaven.
