How Stan Lee’s ‘Captain Marvel’ cameo changed after his death
In keeping with Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain Marvel features a Stan Lee cameo. What is a little different this time, though, is how it plays out in the movie.
Shortly after Vers (a.k.a. Carol Danvers, a.k.a. Captain Marvel) lands on Earth, she …

It’s a reckoning, or computation, on what mattered to society in any given year — and sometimes even signal where it’s headed. And 2018 showed a world transfixed on one sporting […]

Commentator Bill Maher disparaged Stan Lee, the seminal creator of iconic comic book superheroes like Spider-Man, The Hulk, and The Fantastic Four, in an unsolicited 293-word Saturday morning blog titled “Adulting.”
Twitter was quick to rebut Maher’s cultural musings after he mocked the late Lee’s widely-appreciated work, belittled millions of people who value comics, and broadly labeled comics as “stupid stuff.”
“I’m not saying we’ve necessarily gotten stupider,” Maher wrote, before adding, “The problem is, we’re using our smarts on stupid stuff.”
Distilling decades of comic book history, culture, and meaning down to a short, oversimplified opinion is naturally going provoke the ire of the public, especially those who possess a greater familiarity of both comics and Lee’s intellectual influence. Read more…

The death of Stan Lee has been a tough one for fans, but Netflix has a neat way to honour the comic book genius.
If you search for “Excelsior!” on the streaming platform, you’ll be presented with a list of Marvel titles that are available on Netflix.
Obviously what TV and movies are available to you depends on your location, but my results included the Daredevil series, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Jessica Jones, and The Defenders, among other titles in “Stan Lee’s Universe.”

We’ve all made a typo in our time.
So has New Zealand’s Gisborne Herald, who made an almighty error on the front page of its Tuesday newspaper when it commemorated the late comic book legend Stan Lee.
While the Herald had published a photo of the Marvel great, who died at 95, the caption pointed to director Spike Lee, who is very much alive.
RIP … *checks notes*

On Monday night, the news broke that Stan Lee, a Marvel Comics legend, had passed away at the age of 95.
Later on that evening, Wolverine star Hugh Jackman appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and paid a tribute to the man who helped create X-Men.
“Let me just say to the family and to the legions of fans, that I remember Stan as a true gentleman who had this glint in his eye,” says Jackman. “He’s a creative genius, he thought outside the box — he created a whole universe that changed the lives of many people, mine included.”
Jackman goes on to remember an anecdote from Comic Con, where he was on the red carpet as Wolverine — and nobody was taking his photo, because Stan Lee was at the other end. Read more…
