Sad day indeed. All of us go at some point, and he'd had a full long life, but damn...just..damn.

He will be missed, I hope that his cameos continue in the digital versions of movies and TV shows. It was a great thing to look for.

RIP, Stan Lee! Sad news indeed. I grew up on Marvel Comics. Ever since CGI revolutionized hollywood, almost all of the Marvel movies have been freaking awesome.

And his cameos were hilarious.

Just over a year ago, my oldest took his kids to Orlando when Stan Lee had what I believe was a Marvel convention and had the privilege of meeting Lee himself. During Lee's visit I was told the then 94 year old rode the roller coasters at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure

I remember finding my first Spiderman comic at my cousins house in around 1964. I was HOOKED. We had a small drug store in my little town that got the FF and Spiderman each month. 12 cents plus a penny tax. I loved those comic and always wanted to write a letter to the comments section to win a Genuine No Prize. Hollywood brought the action and art to the screen. Toby Maguire was excellent. As was Chistopher Reeves at ClarkKent. I still want Hollywood to make Tarzan exactly like the book Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote. He was a talented man. Remember when Hitchcock would have those little scenes in his movies..........

Good stuff, but Superman is DC. And the Christopher Reeves movie fight scenes sucked. I remember being extremely disappointed when I saw them. Technology was too limited back then.

I was just commenting on the transition to screen from page. My fav. DC was legion of super heroes (the young ones). I guess looking back the action scenes were not even close to what we got now but C Reeve was what I imagined Clark Kent to be. He had the mannerism and look. Amazing how that pair of glasses fooled all those people ;)

Ah, gotcha. Yes, CR had the look. I thought the 90s Batman movies were better, but it’s funny how even THAT series pales in comparison to the series with C Bale.

I’m a Marvel guy and I’m glad they didn’t get serious about movies until CGI. As soon as I saw Terminator 2, I knew they could make an awesome Hulk.

I would say the first two Tim Burton movies are just as solid considering the climate at the time as the C Bale movies. People forget the tonal shift in comic book movies that took place after the more realistic look of Blade.
