He had a pretty damn successful and long life. RIP. 

[Radical Larry 28,814]

Well, shit. RIP

[mdmost 43,851]

Excelsior, Mr. Lee!

[bernorange 8,385]

95?  Damn.  I knew he was old, but I didn't know he was that old.

[Patrick Bateman 3,966]

Wow.... a creative giant has passed.  RIP.  The Godfather of Marvel is gone.

[Huckleberry 34,407]

Yeah, great life. I don't get starstruck and hate celebrity worship but that man brought a lot of joy to a lot of lives and also a lot of family bonding time to mine. RIP, sir.

[AUS-97HORN 11,991]

that sucks....

hopefully he got the last of his cameos in for Avengers 4.

you brought the rest of us a heck of a world.

[Huckleberry 34,407]

Gonna be a powerful in memoriam moment before the credits to Captain Marvel.

[The Maestro 775]

RIP.  Legend

I honestly thought he had died this summer.

[henrygandorf 29,221]

i think it's safe to say he lived his best life.

has anyone earned more money from 85-95 years old?

[NWBuck 8,619]

Fucking Thanos 

[Stella Link 535]

Wow...RIP

[Drew 2,833]

Well that's horrible.  RIP.

 

Won't be the same Marvel Universe without his cameo's.

[Pato del Muerto 53,332]

Marvel studios say if they have his IW2 cameo in the can?

would be fitting if he made it to the end of phase 1.

Seemed like a legitimately great person, too. I know someone of limited artistic ability (at the time) who submitted samples to Marvel, and Lee himself replied with pointers and tips to improve. That's better than rejection.

How does something as big as the creator of the most important titles in comics history... Coming to my mall get by me ? I must be slipping in my old age. The name amongst names

 

[Longboard Horn 41,319]

He will be missed. Such an icon in modern pop culture.

[mr. sunshine 2,852]

They showed the covers of iconic comics he was involved in during a  news report and I swear I own half of them. But they’re dog eared and faded from reading and trading when I was a kid so they’re worth next to nothing and that’s okay. 

RIP Stan Lee

[Buzzrock 15,115]

Damn that sucks! I was never a comic nerd but I love Lee’s contributions to pop media and culture. I always thought it was cool that he did the cameos and appeared in Kevin Smith movies.

[BrazilHorn 6,793]

Huge comic nerd back in the day. RIP Stan Lee. 

Bummer. 

[utee94 16,068]

RIP to a legend

RIP Stan

 

As a comic nerd growing up his influence was undeniable. I got to see him at a convention 4 or 5 years ago. I'd never been to one before and it was pretty amazing seeing the turnout. Sitting through his Q&A was cool to see one of the architects of modern mythology. My only regret at the time was getting up to ask him this question, "Mr. Stan Lee, have you ever thought about faking your death? Then waiting a few months to return from the grave and therefore proving that life is no stranger than fiction."

Help me out here. Why are people calling Stan Lee a racist, homophobe, and rapist?

Aw hell lemme google it myself....

It seems to stem from this quote about creating minority characters rather than turning popular characters into minorities (in case you didn't know, Iron Man is now a black teenage girl, Iceman is gay, Thor is a woman and weirdly goes by "Thor" even though its his given name, not some kind of mantle)

“It has nothing to do with being anti-gay, or anti-black, or anti-Latino, or anything like that,” Lee said according to comicbook.news. “Latino characters should stay Latino. The Black Panther should certainly not be Swiss. I just see no reason to change that which has already been established when it’s so easy to add new characters. I say create new characters the way you want to. Hell, I’ll do it myself.”

Fake Woke will be the death of us all.

 

RIP Stan.  I hope heaven gives you as many kryptonite condoms as you want.

I just wish he could have taken the movie rights with him. I like a good comic flick once in a while, but I really miss real movies. I wish there were more subject matter than comics and zombies.
