Damn. He will be missed. Excelsior!
November 12th, 2018 at 2:01 PM ^
Wow, RIP sir, you'll always be a visionary!
November 12th, 2018 at 2:02 PM ^
Also had a cameo in every Kevin Smith movie ever (approximately). RIP.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:07 PM ^
He was great in Mallrats.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
stink palm concept is very underrated...
November 12th, 2018 at 3:47 PM ^
Small price to pay for the smiting of one's own enemies...
November 12th, 2018 at 5:46 PM ^
....always fun to see him on BBT!
November 12th, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
RIP. Seemed like a great dude.
November 12th, 2018 at 3:20 PM ^
When I was in high school, my good friend did his senior writing project about Spiderman.
Fast forward to a few years ago, my middle son did the same thing.
Marvel spans many generations and Stan Lee made it all possible. He will be missed! That said, I bet they CGI him into future movies, just like they did with Princess Leia.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:04 PM ^
Thank you sir for all the memories sir. RIP
November 12th, 2018 at 2:04 PM ^
Sad news. Got to meet him a few years ago.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:05 PM ^
20th century pop icon. Hard to fathom the size of his estate.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:06 PM ^
OH NO....terrible news! I haz a big sad....
November 12th, 2018 at 2:06 PM ^
RIP, Stan.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:07 PM ^
RIP
May you web sling through the pearly gates
and look proudly down on the heroes you create.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
Bummer.
DC sucks, by the way.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
Always has and always will....their characters never had flaws and where always unbeatable.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:55 PM ^
Agree about DC.
To be precise, the Stan Lee revolution was that the character's powers themselves were the source of the character's pain, not just the source of their ability.
November 12th, 2018 at 3:08 PM ^
Nah. In my opinion Batman is the best superhero. Not most powerful but most compelling stories. Yes there’s cheesy villains and gadgets. The marvel live action movies are obviously better than DC, but with animated the gap is even larger between DC and marvel. The marvel animated movies are horrible. Not every DC one is amazing but a vast majority are at least decent and some are amazing. Assault on Arkham is one of my favorite movies to this day. Gods and monsters is good, justice league: dark, justice league: war, justice league: doom, son of Batman, etc.. I enjoy both DC and marvel. DC doesn’t suck. Also Gotham is better than any marvel show, Netflix or network TV. Not to mention the Batman Arkham video games are the best superhero video games ever. The new Spider-Man copies near everything from the Batman games in terms of gameplay.
RIP Stan lee
November 12th, 2018 at 3:25 PM ^
No mention of Teen Titans Go! ??
November 12th, 2018 at 4:23 PM ^
Gotham over Daredevil/Luke Cage/Punisher/Jessica Jones? Gotham's good but that's a Strong take. Will agree Batman animated movies/TV shows are great.
November 12th, 2018 at 4:46 PM ^
I'm still bummed about Luke cage. I still haven't watched them all but now I don't feel like there's a point since its cancelled.
November 12th, 2018 at 7:38 PM ^
The thing about Gotham is knows it’s cheesy. It’s self aware that the villains have cheesy origin stories and plots but it doesn’t try really hard to be super serious and dark like all the marvel Netflix shows do. All superhero media is cheesy, but the marvel shows try really hard to be edgy. Which is why I don’t like the new titans show coming, and why I didn’t like the new live action DC movies. Look at the Michael Keaton Batmans, they knew what they were and didn’t try to be something else. The Val Kilmer and Clooney Batman movies went overboard with gimmicks and cartoonish scenery. Gotham has a great mix of both. The first season is pretty slow but after that it gets better. Wish we could get a live action Batman show again.
Thats probably why the MCU are so successful. They show that they are self aware of the fantastic subject matter while still maintaining some seriousness. They don’t try too hard to be edgy.
November 12th, 2018 at 7:39 PM ^
And BTW I still loved defenders and daredevil. But the best is the punisher. Can’t wait for season 2.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
Guess he got snapped out by Thanos...
November 12th, 2018 at 2:12 PM ^
Marvel movies won’t be the same without him, very sad
November 12th, 2018 at 2:17 PM ^
Thanos strikes again.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:23 PM ^
I've got one of his hammers.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:31 PM ^
Oh man, hope his last scene in the upcoming movie is in the can. (no jokes please)
Great contribution to this planet Stan, hell the universe. Well done. R.I.P.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:32 PM ^
Rest in peace. Huge impact on many lives. True maverick right up there next to Hugh Heffner.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
Excelsior!
November 12th, 2018 at 2:38 PM ^
His creations have brought a ton of joy into my life, may he rest in a well deserved peace.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:41 PM ^
Whaaa!!!!!!!!!! No!!!!!!!!
November 12th, 2018 at 2:47 PM ^
Damn, RIP dude. He even made a cameo in the new Spider-Man game, I totally was not expecting it.
November 12th, 2018 at 2:48 PM ^
So sad. Brought so much joy to multiple generations of people with his comics and movies
November 12th, 2018 at 2:50 PM ^
“Excelsior!”
was a big part of my childhood...
November 12th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
RIP.
The most under-rated literary genius of the 20th century. People credit Alan Moore et al. for bringing comics out of the literary ghetto, but they were just getting credit for what Stan Lee had already done without anyone recognizing it. His shift from the Greek to the Christian heroic paradigm is almost unparalleled in influence. Buffy, Harry Potter, Twilight all direct descendants; Star Wars almost the only Greek superhero mythos post-Lee.
The biggest no-prize ever for you, Mr. Lee.
Excelsior!
November 12th, 2018 at 3:00 PM ^
Bart: Stan Lee came back?
Comic Book Guy: Stan Lee never left. I’m afraid his mind is no longer in mint condition.
RIP Stan.
November 12th, 2018 at 3:01 PM ^
Incredibly sad news, his stories were a major part of my childhood and those are memories that I’ll always carry with me.
Whats just as sad here is how many people used him in the last few years of his life, wish he could have spent his twilight years without the shit he had to put up with.
November 12th, 2018 at 3:05 PM ^
He defined so much about what pop culture is.
May his memory be a blessing.
November 12th, 2018 at 3:19 PM ^
RIP Stan the Man! Conan, X-Men and Spider Man were my go to comics.
November 12th, 2018 at 3:57 PM ^
Nice group. I would add Fantastic Four for my personal list. RIP Stan Lee
November 12th, 2018 at 4:43 PM ^
I just heard this news. I will be watching Marvel movies for the rest of the week in memoriam.
Very bummed honestly.
November 12th, 2018 at 5:18 PM ^
RIP. I read Marvel & DC comics growing up, but tended to like the Marvel ones more. Thank you, Stan.
November 12th, 2018 at 7:35 PM ^
Though Stan didn’t invent the modern comic, he certainly perfected it.
Excelsior and never stop believing in heroes.
I’d imagine Stan would want it that way.
November 12th, 2018 at 8:09 PM ^
Sad news. LIved an incredible 95 years. I hope they continue giving a CGI cameo in the marvel movies.
November 12th, 2018 at 8:26 PM ^
He’s back with Jack “King” Kirby in the bullpen.
November 12th, 2018 at 10:06 PM ^
Here’s my cool story bro about Stan Lee...
My Grandpa was enlisted in the Army in his early 20s and was an accountant for the Army. He had to give presentations to other analysts regarding finances, accounting, etc. With these presentations he needed illustrations of different financial figures in the forms of graphs,charts, and whatever other illustrations may be needed. He was assigned a young man enlisted in the Army to help do these illustrations and that man was none other than Stan Lee.
After my grandfather passed I received a very warm and unbelievably thoughtful email from Mr. Lee himself.
RIP Mr. Lee, you were a great man.
