RIP legend

 

Stan Lee

 

RIP

 

Damn - RIP

 

‘Picked Apart by Vultures’: The Last Days of Stan Lee

 

ugghhhhhhhhhh

 

Can't forget his awful history with workers rights & misogyny in his writing, but also can't forget his creative contributions to pop culture. His time with John Romita on Amazing Spider-Man is easily my favorite classic comic book run.

 

Man :(

 

RIP the legend

 

So assuming he’s not in Avengers 4 then Spider-Man PS4 was his last cameo

 

He also took a lot of credit from Jack Kirby which I understand happens all the time

 

IIRC I think they filmed a bunch of cameos to be used in future movies, not sure how many though

 

from what i understand, he has a big backlog of cameos filmed. but i could be wrong.

 

Damn.

 

He filmed cameos for Captain Marvel, Avengers 4 and Spider-Man Far From Home

 

This one hurts, I honestly grew up with the man’s work and it’s hard to truly articulate just how much of an impact it had on me.

 

They won't be able to resist using every cameo they have built up, but I wouldn't mind seeing Avengers 4 be his last. Make that farewell to an era also be a farewell to Stan.

 

I believe he filmed a cameo for the next Spider-Man, which I think would be more fitting for a last cameo, one last laugh with his most famous creation.

 

[insert dig at this current iteration of Spider-Man here]

 

Huh?

 

I have as complicated feelings about Homecoming as I do the past couple iterations of Spider-Man. And, certain creative choices and the way the MCU has locked those choices in for the foreseeable future really bums me out. The idea of Far From Home being his final cameo also bums me out.

 

Maybe they can save it for a Fantastic Four film, if it ever gets made.

 

I’ve never seen my Twitter and Facebook feed so full of posts about the passing of the same person. It’s insane.

 

The number of people who have had a bigger or longer impact on popular culture is veeerrrryyyy small.

I’m definitely having a hard time with this. I know he’s has some controversies recently but I’ve also seen from the inside just how horribly he was taken advantage of by the people who should have been advocating for him and how deeply he was hurt by his wife dying. I really wanted him to have a longer period of actual peace and relaxation finally, but part of me feels almost relieved that he isn’t going to be pushed and pulled by anyone anymore. Absolutely the end of an era. Next year’s Dragon Con will be a very different place.

 

When Robin Williams passed my feeds were littered with Tributes.
