    At least he'll be mint in box now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,231 ✭✭✭Odhinn


    Tis true, he's gone. Good to see he reaped the benefit of his creativity in his last years.

    95 is a good age
    RIP

    He seemed like a man that would live forever... Marvel movies just won't be the same without his guidance and little cameos. RIP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,411 ✭✭✭✭flazio


    I think he's done his cameos for Captain Marvel and the next Avengers. I think the Netflix shows have shown how it'll be in the future with pictures to spot in the background

    This too shall pass.

    The movies are as mainstream as can be, nowt nerdy about liking them.

    Comics are a perfectly valid source material, dealing with various topics.

    Anyway, RIP Stan.

    With the amount of success that Marvel has brought Disney they should stick a statue of him up beside Walt or at least somewhere.


    Wonder if he had any more cameos left, are we going to get a bitter sweet last one in something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,551 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    There is a man in my local commuity, a publican,who is the utter cut of him. He could do the cameos from now on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,689 ✭✭✭Signore Fancy Pants


    Was never a comic book fan and superhero movies arent my cup o'tae.

    However, Stan Lee was a legend and lived like one for a long time. He always seemed to make time for his fans and liked a cameo.

    I always envisioned Stan Lee as the innocent alter ego of Hugh Hefner.


    R.I.P Stan the man.

    If he had went before the "Snap" that would have been a brilliant ending, tear the guts out of people.

    CGI, and confirm he's one of The Collectors, and Stan's your uncle.

    Goodbye Stanley


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,561 ✭✭✭✭Varik




    He did a interview and talked about his wife, Marvel released this right after his wife passed.

    Thought it was longer but he survived his wife by a year and 4 months.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,122 ✭✭✭BeerWolf


    An absolute legend, will be missed. But he lived to a ripe old age of 95 doing what he loved to the end.

    RIP Stan.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭Lackey


    Stan Lee the Legend :(

    Proposed to his wife two weeks after dating and married 70 years until her death last year :(
    A rare story in Hollywood.

    RIP Mr. Lee


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,211 ✭✭✭✭Suckit


    RIP Mr. Lee.

    Glad he got to see how big Marvel has become.

    The sad passing of a Legend, the likes that will never be seen again.

    I remember as a kid in the eighties reading marvel comics , it was a picture
    to another world , I loved reading the Bullpen Bulletins page at the back of the comics were kids use to send in letters to Stan Lee and he would reply back.

    Exciting times to see the comic geek world balloon into such a Global world success.

    R.I.P Mr Stan Lee.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,561 ✭✭✭Duff


    Great that he got to interact with his creations on the big screen. A legend who changed the world in his own way. RIP.

    RIP.

    Responsible for giving imaginative minds to so many. What a gift to bestow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,917 ✭✭✭✭iguana


    I grew up on Marvel comics, especially the X-men, and I can't deny the massive influence they had on my life. I hope Lee had some peace in his final months as these last two years have been very rough on him with the death of his wife and the ongoing elder abuse he certainly seemed to be victim of from a number of sources. It's sad that the end of his life was not secure and safe for him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,314 ✭✭✭✭branie2


    My favourite of his creations was the Incredible Hulk


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,217 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wibbs


    As a kid, I was never really a fan of the Marvel stuff TBH, nor the DC stuff either. More a 2000AD type of chap. But I did like The Thing(him of the Fantastic Four) and though I can't remember what my request was :o I posted a letter to a Mr Stan Lee, 13 Whatever American address was provided for the company(I was about 10 so...). Covered it in stamps :D and off it went. A few months later, I got a reply from Stan. Signed and all. He mentions the load of stamps and that they didn't get many letters from Ireland. :D In the envelope was a copy of a new Marvel comic about a spaceship leaving earth for the stars because earth was dying. Seeker 5000 IIRC. That he hoped I'd enjoy. I still have that comic and the letter, somewhere. Must dig it out. I also sent a letter to 2000AD and got nada. The bastards! :D


    RIP Mr Lee.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    such a sad sad day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,537 ✭✭✭KKkitty


    He will never be forgotten hopefully. Such an amazing enigma. A true Marvel in his own lifetime. I know he had a few cameos in upcoming movies filmed but when they're over and done with we will never see him again. He embraced abnormalities in people. We're not all the same. We are not defined by where we come from, we are not what everyone else thinks of us. What one or more think is weird more can think is unique and noteworthy, something to not be afraid of. Rest in peace Stan Lee. Thanks for everything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,477 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    Rest in Peace Stan Lee.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,765 ✭✭✭The Golden Miller


    Not a bad legacy to leave, helping create arguably the most famous fictional character ever, and certainly the most famous everyman, the Amazing Spider-man. I'd have taken that myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    He created something in the comic book world that was an unstoppable force for good for so many of his adorned fans. To achieve a level of success that cannot be beat by others in the comic books industry certainly deserves a huge amount of respect from me & from those who love the genre for what it is today.

    R.I.P Stan Lee. Excelsior!

    Finding a Marvel comic in a local shop was certainly a rare treat back in the early '80's. The Incredible Hulk and, it has to be said, rather kitschy, Spider-Man were must watch shows on the telly.

    Thanks for making life in small town Ireland a bit more fun, Stan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 671 ✭✭✭Plopsu


    The interview he did with Kevin Smith (who I'd imagine is a wreck today) is very worth watching.
    RIP to a great creator and iconic voice (and I suspect genuinely good guy).

    RIP, he made a great contribution to children's literature.

    In the Marvel world, you's southern partitionists would probably have been the skrulls :pac:

    Seemed well able to laugh at himself - the Simpsons episode he guested on, where the tables are turned and he becomes the obsessive groupie hanging around Comic Book Guy (and an initially awestruck Comic Book Guy gets really tired of him :D) is one of the few better later Simpsons.

    I was never into comic books or their associated movies (apart from Batman) yet recently I really got into Daredevil - love it!
