Stan Lee
Stan Lee didn't just fill our screens with superheroes, he also gave us a global geek culture and changed the entertainment industry forever as a result.
Stan Lee passed away on Monday (November 12, 2018), but he wasn't ready for the return of the superheroes, the era of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, and those DC characters managed to jump from page to movie and TV screens before Lee's work appeared.
However, no matter how successful Superman was in 1978 and Batman in 1989, Hollywood didn't really enter his comic book era until it embraced the character Lee created in the 1960s, when he wanted to bring superpowers to the real world.
Like Steve Jobs and Thomas Edison, Lee was a creator with a keen enough sense of his character (sorry, to make that incredible), and he became a role model for many people to do their jobs. He's not the only inventor of Superman like Spider-Man and Iron Man — artists/writers Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and others have also made valuable contributions.
Marvel Heroes
Lee didn't invent these superheroes entirely on his own, and DC has previously revealed some situations, such as Metropolis and "Into the Yin and Yang Realms" and other fictional scenes in the United States, where they are protected by the Justice League, but Lee is eager to make his character more meaningful, so the amazing superman world appears. His greatest work (Steve Ditko), Spider-Man, is from not only New York, but also from Queens; he is a nerd who can't pay his rent and is often bullied by villains. Introducing him to a god like Thor, or a hunky monster like the Hulk, would make him nervous.
Spider-Man made The Avengers a world of horror that readers could reach, and he did the same thing with movies. Yes, the X-Men series began first and was warmly welcomed. But the mutant family has a legendary tale of its own, which consumes everything around them: the use of mutations to embody the characters in the show has sparked an anti-mutant debate in the United States, and there isn't enough room in reality for tight-clad fighters to fight the invaders.
Lee has not only shaped the characters fans have encountered over the past decade, but has also created a drama where superheroes are intertwined, making them a unique series. He helped nurture a global geek culture that eventually became the mainstream of the day. As early as the '60s, Lee wrote a colorful editorial that treated readers like friends. His exhortations ("Toward a more glorious cause, moving forward") and behind-the-scenes conversations involve the reader in the creative process. But worse, this personal affection has led to a nascent world in which avid fans terrorize people online who dare to mess with their childhood heroes. But the good thing is that when comic/sci-fi fans are on the brink of life and not dominating this diverse world, it reminds readers that they are not alone.
When Marvel Pictures was finally formed, it made films that were entertaining enough to encourage fans to stay in their seats once the movies started, cheering for the next adventure, the next hero who would appear on the screen. This company brought us Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman. Heroes who are born in different contexts are usually in a bad position when they are put together on screens. But it's no surprise that Stan Lee and his team created a heroic family that, once in the hands of talented filmmakers, will change the world together.
