Stan Lee is pretty famous for writing comics like Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, and the X-Men. But what about his ideas that just didn't work well? From failed superheroes to trying his hand at acting to working in professional sports, this video takes a look at five of Stan Lee's worst ideas. - บันเทิง
"Oh hi! You caught me defrauding a nursing home. Speaking of stealing money from the elderly, let's talk about Stan Lee!"
Mm😮
Damn 😅😅
Too soon, man!
I wanted to say, having a vile daughter must have been one of his worst mistakes
Captain? Some sauce please?
Stan's Batman got tough enough in prison that he could've just taken down Handz whenever he felt like it. But no, getting the mansion first was an integral part of the plan lol
And that fancy suit!
His first victory was self improvement his second was improving his financial status his last one was ending that guys life
The best revenge is to live better than your enemies.
He needed to style on him in every way possible first. Honestly, I respect it lol
He should've just stayed a wrestler. Dude became John Cena/Stone Cold level in several weeks.
In an era of reality television that encouraged contestants to behave in the worst, most selfish, pettiest way possible Who Wants to be a Superhero rewarded selflessness and generally acting heroic. It was a real breath of fresh air.
Really liked Major Victory in Season 1. He was just a fun guy to be around. Even when he got eliminated, he was able to get everyone to smile at the end.
I mean, I'd argue NHL Guardians was one of the NHL's worst mistakes. Stan Lee just got offered a gig and took the money.
Through I am curious what a superhero for the Vegas Golden Knights, Seattle Kraken and Utah HC would look like.
@@Thederanged1 Well the superhero for the Vegas Golden Knights belongs to the other guys.
@@Thederanged1 what else but a knight in golden armor? A kraken for Seattle and....wait, what? WHAT? How in the world did they get a hockey team before Québec City 30 years effort to gain their team back????
Maybe Striperella? But yeah, his output in the 2000’s was, uh, not the best .
I imagine a comic book about the Coyote working on keeping the Coyotes in Arizona like the NHL did for a decade or so would be a tinge funny.
It is funny Droom is the Dutch word for Dream, which would be a way better name for a sorcerer: doctor Dream
When Stan can't get the rights to
His own work be like:
Dr droom looks like Xavier.
My reply got censored because it contained a link... a TH-cam link. Thompson Twins had a song called 'Don't Mess with Dr. Dream'.
I don't think any of those creators were Dutch or spoke Dutch . . . . The Yiddish word differs ("khlum" in the Roman Alphabet . . . . not sure Ukrainian . . . .
If Dr Droom had kept his original name he could have had some confusing battles with the Latverian fellow.
He looks like Xavier.
Hahaha
So this is where the template for
Xavier came from?
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 And also possibly The Chief in The Doom Patrol.
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 And also possibly The Chief in The Doom Patrol.
Although as I remember he wasn’t a telepath, he was bound to a Wheelchair though and set up a home and training center for super powered misfits, (but not mutants.)
Dr. Droom walked so Dr.Strange could run.
The way I worked on DR droom is be more like John constantine and have him be related toKulan Gath due to learning he was Blood related to him and Have him set up a magic business to deal with magical dangers that doctor strange can't do
But Strange levitates
And Max Hea-droom!
Walked on burning coals
Inhumans, stripperella,Niteman.
WTF Stan?
TBF, The Batman was just the Count of Monte Cristo crossed with Spider-Man's origin, which sounds amazing in theory.
Isn't that just Batman Beyond
It seems like a cross of Luke Cage and a sliding doors moment with Spider-Man.
And it honestly ends up being one of the better DC heroes reimagined by Stan.
To be fair to Stan, that line read about liking his girls healthy was delivered really well. Got a chuckle out of me
wow. hi reddit.
I got an Alan Alda Hawkeye impression from it
I agree, I think Chris was a little too hard on him with that one. The line delivery was dry and seemed very much in-line with Stan's real life humor
I enjoyed Stan's acting.
It seems to me that Stan Lee just liked being known as the “Marvel creator” so he had no problem cameoing in basically every Marvel movie regardless if he had anything to do with the characters
i think he was green screened into deadpool
I remember him saying he gladly would take the chance to do cameos on DC movies too if they invited him, so he just wanted to be comicbook based movies Waldo I think
@@Shinmsl I belive it he did teem titans go and his line "I don't care that it's dc I love cameos!
@@ShinmslHe also appeared as narrator in many of his shows, a lengthy appearance in Muppet Babies and lets not forget his Simpsons appearance. Even extended it to his wife. Madam Web was based on Joan and she even voiced her on Spider-Man.
Wouldn’t you love to live in Freakazoid’s world where even a fanboy doesn’t know who he was?
Are you implying that Stan Lee was willing to take credit for other people’s work and politicking his way into a position where he is can be given far more credit than he’s due while those who do the actual work can die penniless while he gets rich and famous?
Because, well, yeah. Exactly.
Even when Stan Lee screws up, it's still pretty entertaining.
"He isn't sick....JUST dying!" oh my god
Rumor has it that Stan took the role in The Ambulance (and wasn't the at least another movie he was in around that time?) to have some acting experience under his belt before acting as J.Jonah Jameson in the Spider-man that James Cameron was soon making. But that project fell apart as we all know, however, I think Stan playing Jonah could've been cool, I've always thought Steve Ditko created Jonah just a caricature of Stan himself
Neat trivia!
I dunno, I can't picture cheerful, smilin' Stan Lee as the irascible, shouty, naive JJJ 🤔
That's a great idea that Steve parodied Stan with Jonah. I think you're right and it went right over Stan's head!
@@MrHantz101 Me either, but I can absolutely see Stan wanting to take the role all the same!
I remember an interview with Stan Lee where he even mentions he's all set to play J.J..... then oddly posing with his hands in the Spider-Man web shooting pose.
If i recalled correctly Stan Lee did the DC after he was let go from Marvel. I think it was basically a figurehead type status at that point.
Who wants to be superhero? was cheezy but a posituve cheezy. You couldn't win with underhanded methods you had to act like well a hero. Like that clip with little i think that was from the 1st one . . . the task was like timed go from A to B but there was crying lost little girl. The winners were the ones that helped the girl.
If nothing else, you gotta give it props for being one of the few reality tv competition shows that actively encouraged its contestants to be good people instead of vapid assholes who stir up drama.
I love Chris’ impersonation of Stan Lee. Gets me every time. 😂
In all honesty, I think Stan did a pretty good job acting. Being the ham that he is, he is, he could project his lines pretty well it seems
Hey, Who Wants To Be a Superhero was pretty good, in the context of its time. Some of the contestants used tried and true tactics of reality show vermin, only to get told by Stan "Hey, did you forget the part about being heroes, not villains?" and kicked out.
I watched it in the context of its time and still thought it was pretty terrible
Reminds me of Steven Spielberg's reality show "On the Lot" . Not only were the contestant films hilarious trash, but Spielberg looked so bummed out to have to be there in the final episode.
It was one of the few reality shows of the day that I actually enjoyed from start to finish.
@@BrianGeers It was so staged I couldn't suspend my disbelief. And I'm a comic book fan. One guy got kicked off for NOT revealing his secret identity. Stan said "heroes are supposed to be honest." wtf???
@@gridlo Oh, the rules were arbitrary as heck, no lie. I think I remember the third place guy essentially just got kicked off for his concept being too derivative (despite being probably the strongest talent on the show). The show was total nonsense, but it was entertaining nonsense.
Stan Lee a true legend but also definitely a Funky, Flashy Man! 😅
That issue of _Mister Miracle_ lives rent-free in my head.
Im a simple man. I see a comic tropes upload, it makes me happy.
Samesies.
This is the kinda channel whose videos you like before they even start loading.
I'm a simple man. I see TH-camr upload a video, I use a generic and overused comment before even watching the video to farm likes and feed my dopamine addiction.
So true.
Special Mention goes to Stripperella, a stripper super hero who does stripper things and solves stripper related problems. Her villains are also made in poor taste.
Hey man I loved stripperella when I was 12
Hey, Stripperella is cool on all her raunchy and cheesy glory
It should also be noted that feedback's powers were supposed to be copying the powers of video game charters but in the comic he just zapped people with electricity.
Copyright issues galore!
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
I know it’s probably down to Stan being an old man with little knowledge of them viddy games and such, but it still seemed like a wasted opportunity to not incorporate Videogames into Feedback’s power set.
I would love to see another writer with actual knowledge of/respect for video games to re-imagine Feedback.
@@Nocturne22I mean, they could easily get around that by either him getting powers from the genres of games Feedback plays (I.e. platformers give him the powers to jump high and fall from great hight without getting hurt, ruthenium games giving him super reflexes etc), or use copyright safe expys of popular video games and characters.
@@Brianna-eo8nu What was to stop them making up video game characters to get the powers from?
2:55--Droom literally looks like Professor Xavier from the traditional green suit to the literal "Yellow Chair" (just not a wheelchair)
Exactly what I though
it would be funny if they asked patrick stewart to play him if he ever gets in a film
Well, Ravage 2099 would be worth a proper mention.
It was commendable to try a new character for the 2099 imprint but I just couldn't get into him.
Oh damn, forgot about that. Probably one of the best worst endings in comic history. Like it ended terribly, but at least everything got wrapped up in a nice little bow in the end.
I thought Ravage was a visual ripoff of Grimjack, right down to the scar over his eye.
Brought back a lot of memories of varying fondness with Mall Rats, Stripperella, and "Who wants to be a superhero" but I'm really glad I somehow missed the NHL guardians. It looks like the Red Wings had a Star Scream knockoff so that's neat.
Eric Robert's absolutely SUPERB mullet
Ya excellent lol
Yeah that Stan isn't absolutely Jimmy Fallon-level corpsing has to count for something with his acting skills.
A shame Eric’s career didn’t go anywhere, other than direct-to-video films.
His mullet needs NERFING, it's way overpowered.
Me at the start of the Dr Droom backstory: "Well, this is basic and an underbaked version of Dr Strange but I don't see how it's so bad it...
4:12 - Oh no. OH NO! Nope nope nope!
"Suddenly I am good at Math!"
He could be revived as the original Dr Droom and be the villain of "cultural appropriation". Ha
When you read the earliest Lee/Ditko Dr. Strange stories, you notice that Strange's also depicted as a white man who gets yellowfaced after learning the mystic arts, though not to the same extreme.
He's turning Japanese-ah
Oh, he's turning Japanese-ah
Oh, he's turning Japanese-ah
Don't you think so?
@@Duragizer8775 Ouch!
Stan Lee definitely benefited from having talented people around him (ie Kirby and Ditko). His persistence and willingness to try new ideas along with his positive attitude and hustle is what made him special, even if those ideas didn’t turn out well some times
Gotta appreciate the guy for trying new things, even if they didn't always work out, he just went for it
I disagree on Batman. The basic idea is pretty strong, it just took a few wrong turns. If they removed the wrestling bit and instead made him an author or something, it could have worked.
Here is my short re-write. Everything up to saving the warden is the same. But, instead of being freed by saving the warden his heroic deed brings his case to the attention of a group like the Innocence Project who find new DNA evidence that clears his name. As he is waiting to be released he writes a book about his experiences in prison that becomes a bestseller making him moderately wealthy. Upon his release he starts to advocate for others who have been falsely imprisoned and during the course of his advocacy he finds others who have also been framed by Hands and comes to the conclusion that only a vigilante will be able to take Hands down. That's when he decides to become the Batman.
One last thing, I really like how the character really does look like a bat monster. I think it would be cool to play up the "urban legend" element of Batman by having this version pretend to be some kind of super natural monster.
That would be cool to me, at least.
One of Stan Lee's biggest blunders was getting Dick Ayers to ink/ruin the majority of Jack Kirby's early Fantastic Four stories.
And Vince Colletta for 6 issues 😢
@@MarkBork-zn8eeWhenever I buy an old back issue and find out it has Colleta's inks my heart sinks.
you know his acting in the ambulance is not that bad imo.
Yeah, it's actually very natural and not hammy in my opinion.
Agreed. The quip shown came across as deadpan humor, which is a perfectly acceptable way of delivering a quip.
Feels like Chris is finding something to complain about
He wasn’t a bad actor. In fact, in some of the cameos he made, he was the best actor in the entire film.
It's just that the scripted lines were a mess
as a huge fan of hockey and comics I can confirm that the nhl guardians were for no one.
I also remember stan writing Ultimo with hiroyuki takei (the guy who made shaman king) and it being unreadable
Iron Man's nose still ranks as Stans worst idea for me.
This has been debunked. Stan saw a panel of Iron Man which had the eye slits really close to the mouth slit and logically asked where his nose was supposed to go. The editor mistakenly assumed that Stan wanted a nose piece on the helmet.
Rebranding him a Dr. Shroom might have taken off.
Ad a bonus, druids (and other priests, vates, shamans as well) did use multiple kinds of shrooms.
Toad if he became the sorcerer supreme
your video style is 1 to 1 how nerdy videos were released back in like 2007, and i honestly didnt know how much i missed this style of content. Good video, thanks man
c'mon, acting was not his idea
he was not trying to break in Hollywood as an actor
he just took some jobs he was offered, it can't be classified as his idea
also, he was not that bad on those roles
I still don’t understand why the hockey trophy is named after him
Its not😮
It's named after the guitarist with the Dickies.
It was part of the deal for the superheroes, clearly.
♦️ *I hate to bring it up; but, yes, you're forgetting the superhero Stan tried to create around Howard Stern. (it never went anywhere) Howard has told the story on air of how excited he was to speak with Stan. But, the story idea couldn't have been more lame.* ♦️
Your Stan Lee impression is pretty good! 😂
Also, I feel duty-bound to say that Striperella was actually a really good show!
I came across part of an episode one night while flipping through the channels and thought it was hilarious. It was the one where she had to rescue “Richard Slimmons” from Pushy Galore/Octopushy.
“Our tests indicate it’s a knock-off of a brand-name bag.”
“That’s the most disturbing thing I’ve ever heard.”
“Our tests also indicate it’s made from human skin.”
“(Beat) Okay, THAT’S the most disturbing thing I’ve ever heard!”
😂
@@karaoconnoraliasraidra 😆
It was a very clever and well-written show. I had written it off upon release but stumbled across it same as you and was glad I did.
@taffysaur yeah, it was really fun as long as you accepted that it was a parody as opposed to a serious superhero show.
I feel like a lot of people missed that.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 I’m curious how anyone could hear names like “Richard Slimmons” and “Pushy Galore” and not realize it was parody. (Granted, I’m assuming all the episodes had names and situations like that, but still)
@karaoconnoraliasraidra I wish I could explain it, but alas I cannot. My best guess is that people saw Stan Lee's name and just assumed it was being played straight?
You missed Ravage 2099. The worst of the 2099 characters. He looked like a homeless Punisher. It was so bad, they changed him to an extreme 90s muscle guy with horns.... in ISSUE 4!!
You must have gone to the butthead school of charm, he already did a video on Ravage
No. Ravage didn't change into the horned guy until issue 11 or 12, after Lee has finished his run and the comic went to another writer. And personally I love Stan's run on the comic and I think it was an interesting idea to have him ad a sort of ecological warrior. Heck, before he became a hero he was the CEO of a company that was supposed to protect the environment, and before thst he was a veteran of the "Pollution Wars" I think it was called. Makes sense since by 2099 Earth had suffered a major ecological catastrophe. Plus, I can't get enough of how Stan wrote Ravage's voice. Those early issues are my favorite.
@@truefanforum3273 I liked Ravage because it felt like his whole story was his origin story. Shit kept happening and he kept evolving the whole time. His origin story wasn't limited to just Issue 1.
Dr. Droom looks like Prof. X, has a name that is one letter off from Dr. Doom, is a magician like strange, has "fantastic" as a prefix, and was created by 3 of the biggest names in comics, crazy stuff there.
Only Kevin Smith knew how to write Stan into a movie, he was the only one to see him as a person and not reduce him to his job. He saw the man behind the legend, the person who would create what he did. And as for the other cameos, you have to know that he's just a Marvel brand mascot in those cases, and I see those appearances like when the editors bullpen would be torn up by a supervillain angry at his presentation in an in universe comic. He just lives there, it's not based on direct character creation but a shared universe that goes even beyond the companies that own the movies, as he's in the Fox and Raimi movies as well as the MCU and venom.
Or he just knew how to exploit Stan Lee's kindness, generosity and celebrity for cool points in the fandom. He put Stan Lee in Yoga Hosers, ffs. I call that disrespect.
Seeing the man behind the legend would mean depicting Stan as a deluded grifter, which Kev def didn't do, haha.
Nah early in the Fantastic Four’s comic run they introduced the idea of the Marvel Comic company existing in universe based off their adventures and it popped up from time to time. The Impossible Man even wrecked the place until they gave him is his own comic series
@@gridlo That man who made Yoga Hosers is not Kevin Smith, he's a skrull imposter who took over his life after Jersey Girl.
You mean like when a character in Mallrats asked if the Things junk was orange rock?
I actually like this, really goes to show that even the most well renowned professionals are humans just like us, it's okay to commit errors, thing is, you have to learn from them to get better and mature
Engagement for the algorithm. Come on YT, shine the spotlight for our buddy Chris.
Another great episode, Chris. I loved it as much as I have always loved Dr. Droom, who I have only just now remembered.
*The Vapor’s - turning Japanese plays on radio*
Stan Lee “excelsior, I have a great idea”
I actually watched Megasnake just to see Feedback's appearance. I was really puzzled by the movie because I really thought Feedback was going to have a bigger role, but I quickly realized that wasn't going to happen as the movie just continued to be a normal non-superhero movie.
Noooo the guy holding the hotdog in X-men in front of Stan Lee is Brian Peck! Evil human being. Watch the documentary Quiet On The Set if you don't already know
And he's on the DVD commentary with director Bryan Singer, who has tons of skeletons in his closet too
If Dr. Droom kept his original name, he would get into some rather confusing battles and eventual trouble with a certain Latverian dictator clad in iron
I love comic tropes beginning skits
'Yes, I'm not sick, I'm just dying. I need you to take over my doodies.'
'Your duties?'
*faaaaaaaart* 'My doodies. Clean that up.'
Haven't seen your channel in far too long, glad to be back. You do seriously good work!
"Just Imagine" would work better if they had made the art look more like it did in Stan Lee's heyday.
Stan Lee's worst idea was clearly "Love Be A Vulture".
Something you forgot to mention about _Who Wants To Be a Superhero_ is that Ellis and Diadoto parodied it during their run on Thunderbolts; part of the in-universe marketing for the team post-Civil War was a reality show where people could audition for a spot on the T-Bolts "backup squad", hosted by Stan the Man.
Such an epic episode! Awesome work Chris! 😂
I’m a bit confused on how his acting in the ambulance was bad. I didn’t see bad acting at all I saw a regular actor actually I’m going to have to disagree with you on that one
Pretty sure his worst idea ever was Stan Lee Media.
For anyone who doesn't know, Stan also plays the minister at a wedding scene at the end of Princess Bride 2! It has nothing to do with comics, he's just the person who marries the two lead characters!
Awesome as always🎉
There's a slight Woody Allen cadence to the way Stan stumbles over his words in his "serious" acting role, haha.
Damn you, daaaaamn you! Now I want to watch that weird Stripperella cartoon!
I love your videos man, you've got amazing content!
Thanks again for another awesome episode. As a fan of the show I really appreciate it. It’s always entertaining and I always learn something new.
Yes! A new ComicTropes video anda new "Oh hi!"
I enjoyed Who wants to be a super hero overall. I have the Defuser's autograph. But I was annoyed by each season with bity of hypocrisy written for Stan. He chews out Major Victory for having been a strip-a-gram worke with a giant framed picture picture of Stripperella on the wall behind Stan while he did so. Then in season 2 he criticizes Hyper-Strike for giving out his real last name to kid to bond with the kid about being teased. His last name was Stork. While watching I responded for Hyper-Strike, you know I had dinner with Reed, Sue and Ben and they didn't think it was such a big deal." I wuoldn't have made it on the show. :)
Chris did the thing! Miss your intro's. Always happy to see a new video.
Look! Up! In the Air! It's a Bird! It's Doctor Droom? No, it's a Lead Turd.
hell yeah the old intros are back!!! & as an Asian, I approve Dr. Droom XD and man i totally forgot about Striperella, good times :)
If the conceit of those comics was that Stan Lee would make new heroes based on the names of popular heroes, I think he should’ve taken the new heroes in entirely different directions. Like this Batman should’ve been inspired by a love of baseball, and carried a Louisville Slugger around to beat up criminals.
In some of them he did. I can't remember much about them, but I do remember that Wonder Woman was literally based around "wondering", and it sorta worked.
Another problem is that DC had already done the same gimmick with Tangent Comics, which meant some of the best "in name only" ideas were already taken by those characters.
I think you'd love the Batgirls from DC's Bombshells.
By far the weirdest Stan Lee cameo was the one in Princess Diaries 2! Also, he co-wrote a YA fantasy adventure novel series inspired by the Chinese Zodiac.
Love the vid!
*Oh, God, some of these ideas probably hurt more than his blood "donations!"*
I'm sorry, but I liked "who wants to be a superhero"! I enjoyed it.
Sick Intro, way to go man.
It's always a great way to start a Sunday with a new ComicTropes episode! Happy Father's Day Chris, hope the cat's got you something!!
TIL The American version of "Who wants to be a Superhero" used adults... Lol 😆
I still managed to enjoy Batman. It was different and fun for me.
When people says "I still managed to enjoy" sounds like it was a challenge to even like it.
Same here pal. I kinda liked Stan Lee's take on Batman - but the backstory felt overcooked with little to show for it. Plus I'm just not a huge fan of the photo-realistic mask. Wish the costume design leaned more to the "wrestler / luchador" aesthetic.
Stan Lee was reading his lines off a cue card in Mallrats - you can see his eyes moving behind his sunglasses if you look hard enough.
I saw your pic with Benny, Chris. I'm happy you got to know him. Thank you for sharing that. He will be missed ❤️
It did not go well with him at his life’s end. He rejected his heritage and professional ethics for the love of money and worldly fame. His story’s were one note hack jobs, and I seriously doubt he was responsible for that many real creative contributions.
Perhaps stan Lee's greatest creation was stan Lee if all the stories are true.
11:20 Prisons do often have weights and books
Yes, it was commenting on how easy it was for Wayne to improve himself. Prison life is ideally for rehabilitation so it offers many opportunities but there are also distractions and dangers. Those are glossed over.
@@ComicTropes He got beat up in prison and threatened by fellow inmates. Doesnt sound very pleasant. Stan didn't have the space to show every non-important aspect of prison life. You have to read between the lines. Comic shorthand.
Dude, you’re great. And your Stan Lee impression is on point!
Feedback really wasn't a bad idea for a character - it was just executed really badly.
As someone who was brought up on Funky Fla... err, Stan Lee, I actually appreciate his hucksterism. He was a decent enough writer (for the time), and did an amazing job as an industry booster. What he NEVER was, was an ideas man - it was all Kirby and the amazing talent that started pouring back into the field after they revived it.
I’d say Stan was a great ideas man but Ditko and Kirby fleshed out those ideas into tangible ideas. They’re all important
@@thomasjohnson1885 his ideas weren;t great as shown by his solo works
"Sank like a lead turd" works, though🤔
I wonder what kind of a being would evacuate turd as his waste... 🤔
It could be a F4/Avengers villain-monster, easily. Temporary ally of the lava men or something.
Great video, Chris 👍
This was an amazing video, I'd love a sequel one day.
Intruiging. I never knew he wrote a Batman story that sounds worse than All-Star Bat-Man And Robin.
I mean, I don't think you can really say it's worse since it's not actually supposed to be the same character.
@@-Teague- Eh, true. I just wanted to get a dig in on All-Star Bat-Man and Robin.
@@JamiBunincredibly understandable
To paraphrase Roz Kirby: What did Stan do before Jack, and what did he do after?
With all respect to Roz, Jack never created any wildly successful characters after he left Marvel. Even his Fourth World characters were cancelled pretty quickly and, while they are still used, have never had successful books.
@@sandyhausler5290 New Gods?
Steve Ditko erasure much? 😤
@@sandyhausler5290 They became relevant in time, and still today, ALL of those properties make millions
@@Luis-qy8gwwell the thing is, much of the New Gods got absorbed into Superman’s canon with Darkseid becoming one of his most iconic reoccurring villain. It’s arguable that it was more so latching onto the Superman franchise that’s kept the New Gods alive.
considering the production level of your videos (and that awesome intro!) im kinda shocked you havent got a proper mic setup yet, you sound like a 90s tv commercial on vhs lol
The next sentence after that: "It was a one-shot thing" -- obviously
"Working stiff" I understand what you mean (putting a little more mustard on your moves) but the correction: Wayne turns it into a "shoot" (fighting for real)
4:20 aint no way this mf gave Droom MAGICAL YELLOWFACE
what were they THINKING??!
Old Marvel basically ran on Asian stereotypes. Comic Wong is Strange's Asian manservant. Any Asian villain is just straight-up yellow peril propaganda. Look up their character, Fu Manchu.
He wannabee neenja!
@@DragonbIaze052 Marvel didnt create Fu Manchu. Rich people had servants back then...they still do and most come from other countries. And i have never understood the so-called asian stereotype. So people can't endorse and embrace their culture? They have to just assimilate into being just like white people? And as far as yellow peril propaganda....well back then, a lot of asia was actively hostile to the West, so they really were a threat...or peril maybe?
Never never never never liked Dr. Druid. A total dullard dollar store Dr. Strange.
True but if they make a figure of him I'd buy it.I mean they made brother voodoo.
“who wants to be a super hero?” wound up being an unintentionally genius cringe comedy. The show definitely leans into it sometimes but the best moments are when they thought they killed it and it’s just like, a mortifyingly embarrassing moment for everyone involved. I used to watch it with my parents on the syfy channel and back then half of the appeal was so bad it’s good content so it fit right in.
The why Stan made cameos to Deadpool or Venom is simple:
It was a Marvel tradition in general.
An Deadpool and Venom are Marvel characters so...
Ta-da.
Wow, in the grand tradition of the KayFakes, let's attack Stan Lee. "A huckster and a credit hog..." Anyone who read Silver and Bronze Age Marvel saw Stan constantly praising Marvel's bullpen of creators, whether it was to sell comics or not, it made them vastly more famous. Even Letterers like Artie Simek are fondly remembered because of Stan. Even trying to diminish Stan's writing as "wordy." Sure, it could be (primarily on the Silver Surfer) but did you ever read Kirby's and Ditko's garbage writing when they didn't have Stan's dialogue and characterization? It's always interesting when mealy-mouthed commentators who will trip all over themselves not to ever criticize any contemporaries, only become critics of the easiest targets possible, Stan, Vinnie Colletta, or hey how about that evil Wertham guy who messed up everything? I bet we could make a killing off of T-shirts about him!
I love Stan Lee but he’s not the god of all comics.
Thats Alan Moore because he’s clearly immortal.
Right on! A nice Sunday morning upload! Happy Father’s Day to me!
great video! you rock dude! i would love to see a joe kubert episode!
