R.I.P. Stan, 1922-2018

My 7-year old brother Hudson’s drawing of Stan Lee and his creations…

Who is the old man who shows up in every Marvel film? Who is the funny dude that cameos in superhero films? Stan Lee was rushed to the hospital this Monday in an emergency, the 95-year-old-man died soon after, truly breaking the world’s heart. Stan Lee created Marvel Comics in 1939, and produced your favorite characters such as Spider-Man, Iron Man and Captain America, Lee also cameos in every single Marvel-related movie there is from The Wolverine to Deadpool to Spider-Man: Homecoming, that funny old man is always there to make you laugh;

Stan Lee created a whole universe and transferred it from the pages in a book, to the delightful big screen at the movie theaters, whether you were a superhero fan or not, The last cameo we have seen from him was in 2018’s Venom, which he had a scene of hysterical banter with Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), you may have noticed the bus driver in Avengers: Infinity War, the war veteran in Age of Ultron, and the nutty neighbor in Spider-Man: Homecoming, no matter what, he was always one of the key motives to go see a Marvel branded movie, and for superhero fans, the man has become an extremely important figure in their lives and it truly leaves everybody in tears that such a delightful person has passed.

Lee will be mourned by both comic, tv and movie lovers and would be considered another legend lost, as he is one of the only people who have managed to create spectacular, creative and thrilling entertainment in all three forms. The greatest impact on me is that we will not be able to go to a Marvel film in theaters knowing that Lee will be there.

Although the legend has passed, his cameos will live on, Stan Lee has done scenes in upcoming films such as Ralph Breaks the Internet, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Avengers 4 and even 2019’s Captain Marvel. So technically, Stan still lives through his creations.

We all wish we could see more of Lee, though when somebody has passed, they are gone forever, Rest in Peace Mr. Lee, we all love you here at Sweet and Sour Movie Reviews!!!!
