And he is not allowed to die until he appears in Infinity Wars Part 2 and confirms everyone's theory that he is, in fact, playing Uatu. And if Marvel DOESN'T do that, I would like to offer complimentary pitchforks and torches for when we go burn down the studio.
I can tell she wasn't a big reader of the books, but Stan was very gracious to her and never became condescending to her. and it's one of the reasons I think he's great!
Agreed..to a point. Jack Kirby was not "media material", he was by nature shy and was always hunched over his table, too busy to talk about how great he was. Stan and Jack were a team, but Kirby was left in the dust when it comes to being reimbursed for his hard work.
Dc superman >> Marvel Dc is better at everythin In movies Dark knight trilogy won Oscar and dar knight trilogy defeated Avengers and won the ign movie award Dark knight trilogy >> Marvel movies Characters wise Dc has superman and Batman >> Marvel Comics Dc has Watchmen, dark knight returns and Superman comics Dc has Everythin
Both have hits and misses - Christopher Reeves Superman really set the table for future comic book movies to me. The first two Batman's were good, The Dark Knight was awesome, and I enjoyed Wonder Woman and Man of Steel. As for Marvel, they had a spectacular run and so did Spider-Man and the X-Men series but they had their share of duds too. As long as I get a good movie on a DC or Marvel character I'm happy.
Actually I'm collecting the old Marvel omnibuses from the glory days when Stan, Jack Kirby, Ditko, and Romita Sr. to name a few were all working at Marvel. If you look at the drawings of some of the people they drew ie: Howard Stark during that time period the faces on the pages look eerily familiar to a young Stan Lee as you see him here. I don't think it's a stretch that they did 'cameos' for some of the other artists and writers at Timely/Marvel.
@ag5 I suppose we'll just have to disagree. I think that Stan has made a huge contribution to the world of comics and has been creative, important, and collaborative. This is from many interviews I have read over the past 30 years. To say that he didn't create a thing for Marvel is a pretty bold statement and one that I have seen no evidence to support. He created and co-created many characters. Not saying Jack doesn't deserver much credit - love his work too.
+Joey.T.Cartoon.P This is the exact same formula that made the classic 'Looney Tune' shorts work. The 'Termite Terrace' crew just made the type of cartoons that they would enjoy, and in the end, everybody enjoyed them. Even the kids.
since X-Men Giant #1 came out in 1975 and before that (December 1970 through April 1975) there were NO new X-Men stories I'd say hardly any were part of X-Men story lines at the time cuz there were hardly any X stories
@PSParama Thank you for being the reasonable one. Stan created or co-created many great characters. During the Sixties he was writing Fantastic Four, Hulk, DareDeviI, Iron Man, Spider-man, X-Men, Thor and others simultaneously. Marvel was struggling before Stan came along. He opened up the creative process to the artists which revolutionized the business. It doesn't mean the writers (now or then) sit on their butts while the artists do all of the work, though. It's a collaborative process.
His voice changed a little as he aged but even if you weren't told in the title of this video that it was Stan Lee it is clearly Stan Lee. The man pretty much remained unchanged through the years... I'm showing my age but my love for Spider-Man started the year of this interview (I was 3). I watched the 1967 classic cartoon and mom bought me the odd Spidey comic at a convenience store called Mike's Milk after a trip to the beach and I would read them in the backyard, take them camping... Marvel and Spider-Man were a fond memory of childhood. In later years, I finally got to put a name and face to the guy talking to me through the pages with dialogue and famous quotes like 'nuff said' and 'Excelsior!' - RIP Stan thanks for the great memories bud.
I wouldn't be surprised if Stan came up with Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm after watching a Bonanza episode back in the late fifties-early sixties, The Thing and The Torch remind me so much of Little Joe and Hoss Cartwright, their bickerings as well !
Marvel and Stan Lee mean so much to me! Thank you to people who filmed this and I'm glad you have the same passion as me to both find ourselves here!! #Lets Make Our World a Marvelous Place.
No they didn't only 480i or less and news flash 720p didnt show up till a few years ago for TV / video anyway..only film movies were high res but Tvs couldnt do more than 480i so it didnt matter it looked fine on them.
Very interesting and definitive interview by the master of comics, Stan lee! Also very interesting to learn that the fantastic four was the 1st comic book that was published by marvel. Just recently watched the fantastic four movies directed by Tim story which they were done so expertly by Tim, perfectly reflecting the essence and the ora of the fantastic four!!!
He's 89 now, turning 90 in december..so he was 54/55 in this interview. Still not a spring-chicken. Man's been around a long time. His first comics were in the late 30s, dude. Born in 1922. He was just the right age to go to war during WW2. He's old!
"We try to write stories we would enjoy" And now Marvel only does that some of the time. The rest they have like... 5 Avengers titles publishing, at the same time.
I love his comment on Gwen Stacy. For me spider-man's story ends with issue 99, the last one he fully wrote. And it's a good one, Peter got a steady official job, almost graduated from ESU and is about to propose to Gwen, as they were separated for some time and now got back together. This, for me, concludes the story of this teenager who called himself spider-MAN in the beginning of his career and became a MAN by this point. It makes total sense for him to be with Gwen. Betty was too nervous whenever some excitement happened, and she had her reasons, but Peter wasn't the right man for her. Mary-Jane proved to be loose party-girl who will go out with anyone, but give her heart to no one. And she didn't have much in common with Peter. But Gwen... Science major, smart girl, with respect for men in uniform who risk their lives to help civilians. She is perfect for Peter. And knowing that Gwen's character was heavily inspired by Joan Lee, it would make total sense to pair her with his most successful and most favorite character. So in a way, Marvel universe starts and ends with Stan's writing. While I appreciate wide-spread love for these characters and their portrayal in modern media, almost none of them represent his original vision, none of them are accurate enough to the source material. Sure, few suit designs could be updated, but there really is no reason to otherwise alter the characters. That's why I advise every one who considers self a fan of Stan's creations - buy a couple of Omnibus collections of 60s comicbooks, you won't be disappointed. Those comics stand the test of time, like none other.
@ag5 Wrong. You have no idea about how stories were written at Marvel if you make a statement like this. Read interviews with Kirby, Ditko, etc. It is true that artists were treated poorly, but that doesn't make Stan a "snake". There are hundreds of articles and interviews with various artists and there were many pros and cons to working at Marvel, but to insinuate that Stan just "put his name" on other people's work is uninformed.
I feel that DC, generally speaking was very stilted through the 60's - While Marvel was fresh, exciting & developing their books - all had a better continuity going as well. Not to mention their artists whom many book fans all know & love. When I look through my SA DC's you don't always see too many book credits on the splash page. 60's comics is all about Marvel.
Thankyou stan for sneaking in spiderman! though i'm upset about the fourth movie without tobey Nobody's heard what you have to say about it. so what do you say
Stan IS the Man. He's brought so much entertainment and joy to my life. And, yes, Messrs. Ditko, Kirtby, Romita (Sr. AND Jr.) and all the others deserve credit too. But not Joe Quesada. One More Day sucked.
Holy crap, he looks so young. And he still has his signature look with the shade.
cuz he is wearing a hairpiece
RIP Stan Lee. You were an Uncle Ben to us all.
So true
He sure is
Uncle Ben is just plain Ben now, and he's no longer on rice boxes because liberals hate black people.
That got to my heart............and I'm not even related to him!
Awww, that's a wonderful thing to say! Lee was definitely an Uncle Ben to us. :)
60s 70s Art work from marvel is my favorite , brings up nostalgia from my childhood..
He was 55 when he did this. Keep that in mind when you wonder how old he is.
He is 92
+madsdahlc This was filmed 38 years ago. So based on the month, like Ikrani said, he was 55 when he did this.
And he is not allowed to die until he appears in Infinity Wars Part 2 and confirms everyone's theory that he is, in fact, playing Uatu.
And if Marvel DOESN'T do that, I would like to offer complimentary pitchforks and torches for when we go burn down the studio.
apparently, he will be revealed as Uatu a lot sooner than Infinity War 2.
Ikrani thanks .
I can tell she wasn't a big reader of the books, but Stan was very gracious to her and never became condescending to her. and it's one of the reasons I think he's great!
he has a great way of making the other person feel comfortable
He was soooo used to interviews with people who knew nothing about comics. The master.
Stan Lee is a living legend.
+Rariix And a legendary liar!
+amaxamon
Explain pal
rariix Well hold up on that one
Dead legend now
@@Rariix22 He stole ideas from Kirby and Ditko, portrayed himself as the creator of the universe and artists are just people to draw his ideas
Stan Lee has made my life better. Thanks Stan!!! The imagination I built on the Marvel books I read has served me well.
Rest in peace, Stan Lee. We will never forget you.
It's amazing how exactly the subject of this interview parallels the MCU and DCEU today.
The original Amazing Spidermans are some of my favorite pieces of literature - Nuff Said
Helpful Hint: To understand this interview, every time Stan says "WE", think "JACK KIRBY".
Stan should have said Jack's name and Steve's.
Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Bill Everett, and brother Larry Lieber.
Glad someone said it.
We as in him and his ego lol
Agreed..to a point. Jack Kirby was not "media material", he was by nature shy and was always hunched over his table, too busy to talk about how great he was. Stan and Jack were a team, but Kirby was left in the dust when it comes to being reimbursed for his hard work.
It's not the looks that really bothered me, its his voice. I can't believe how deep it is.
The reporter literally defines a good interview, keep them talking while asking one simple question at a time
What Stan Lee said at the end still makes sense today with Marvel movies doing better than DC.
Yeah that's crazy!
Dc superman >> Marvel
Dc is better at everythin
In movies
Dark knight trilogy won Oscar and dar knight trilogy defeated Avengers and won the ign movie award
Dark knight trilogy >> Marvel movies
Characters wise
Dc has superman and Batman >> Marvel
Comics
Dc has Watchmen, dark knight returns and Superman comics
Dc has Everythin

And damn, hes so clever with the way how he makes his story.
He Looks Like Tony Stark from the 70s era. RIP Stan , You will be missed Deeply.
😂 like Howard Stark from Avengers endgame
he is even funny like tony stark.

Stan is being interviewed by Rouge!!!!!!!

Exactly, I'd say he created and co-created multiple characters. But people like Steve, Jack, and more, defined the characters.
Yes
Stan says about 40 characters, and I can't help but think how many of them were apart of the X-men storylines at the time, lol
40 before now more than 9,000 incredible! :0

"revolutionized all of literature", Stan is the greatest promo guy in history.
Stan Lee is a giant!!!!! Love him!!!!.
1977, and he was still old. Lmao
Sorry, I had to say that. Love ya Stan
He was 55 at the time
A true legend classic interview rest in peace stan
Love his humility.
Long live the alpha Stan Lee. Thank you for all the greatness of Marvel.
The man was like 55 right here, proof Stan Lee is simply immortal, he doesnt even look his age now!
Yeah, and he's healthier than almost all other people over 65 I've ever seen.
Such a Legend.RIP.
Everyone's favourite Father of Superheroes!

Hey maybe 10-15 years down the road we'll see someone who grew up reading manga step in to help Marvel write new comics?
