My almost-2-YO just had a Marvel Xmas and it's the most fun thing ever. He's totally obsessed with Captain America, Hulk, and Spiderman. How many generations of kids are going to be completely drawn to these characters? Stan Lee is the GOAT, right? Not just in the comic world, but in all of literature? Who else has put together a lineup of characters like this? Dickens? Shakespeare?

I think you’d have to include Jack Kirby in that.

As far as the creations I tend to give Jack the lions share of credit.

But Lee was the captain of the ship across the whole line and the biggest promoter of the material beyond comics. So for that I’m not certain these characters would have lasted as long without him.

My first memories of Stan Lee were actually from the 80s Saturday morning cartoons, specifically Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends and an Incredible Hulk cartoon because he did the opening narration for both. I always remember him saying "I'm STAN LEE!"

I can hear him saying it now.

That was probably my first exposure to him as well. Just seems like he was always part of my life LOL.

I did see a funny meme yesterday that said he is the highest grossing actor of all time. The combined box office for movies he has appeared in is over 30 Billion.

Critics are hating this Quantumania but audiences are loving it. Probably going to be the most unbalanced Marvel movie to date.

This was my favorite MCU movie post Endgame. Granted, the bar has been lower, IMO, but this one was good. I’ll add it to the collection once available.

Woof, even the good critics reviews aren't really positive...If I get the chance, I'll watch it in the theater, if not, no big deal.

Just saw quantumania yesterday. Very good movie. It's a hell of a way to kick off the next phase. I just hope the rest are at least up to this level.

I can’t think of a Marvel movie that is this divided between critics and audience. Critics going at it way harder than Love and Thunder or even Eternals. Makes no sense.

The common complaints I saw in the critics was “too much CGI, too little humor”.

It is odd. The few I know who've see it loved it.

I think at this point in the marvel universe if you are going to see a marvel movie at the theater, you are a pretty big marvel fan and their style so you are going to like what you see.

Kang is a great villain. Loki was one of, and still is one of my favorite original Marvel series. Majors was a great choice.

Kang Dynasty will be excellent.
