CELEB: Eventually, Even Stan Lee Runs Out of Ideas

No disrespect intended to the man who started it all. I'm just saying it appears that he, much like you and I, is human after all...

Someone named Cindy Adams had the following to report:

Well, look at that... It appears, I don't like Cindy Adams.

Makes sense. She's neither hip, nor funny, nor someone who's ever gone on an adventure. Unless you consider navigating the bloated, hair-covered gut of a fat man in search of coke something akin to a quest for an enchanted sword. Oh, you do? Okay.

I don't think he's using those words correctly. Charming doesn't mean what he thinks it means. Odd, considering he's a writer.

Yow! This is getting embarrassing.

Okay! Now he's just fucking with us... Maybe he's been replaced by an LMD?

Finally. Somebody go tell that one guy who's been patiently waiting for his "Ringo Starr" comic.

Hmm, whom else stinks enough for us to center a comic around them?

No... No, he won't...

Wait... What am I saying? The formula worked perfectly with
Stripperella, didn't it? Man, what a pop culture juggernaut that was. All those classic tales... I'm actually wearing my Stripperella underoos right now. Hey, anyone out there attending Stripperella-con this year?

Basically he's saying, let's take an idea that didn't wotk with Pamela Anderson (someone people like), actually find someone with less acting ability, talent, and general likability, and try it again. Nice.

He's still a god... and I've heard that the gods sometimes act in mysterious ways... This is probably just one of those times. Like Odin binding Thor to Earth or Zeus assigning the 12 labors to Hercules... This is some kind of test or, or... punishment or something, right? Once we figure out what we did to anger him, he'll take these blights on society far away from us...



TheCoolerKing spent 5 years of his young life in search of a no-prize, and it pained him to write this article.

Wow. I want to cry.

I can't help but think of the scene in Mallrats where he explains how he lost out on love because of his passion for comics and made it feel real. Like you could understand why he chose comics.

Now its--fuck. I can't believe ANOTHER person is wasting their time on her.

I can't believe I'm wasting my time on her.

You noticed that too. Nice.

I took it as a bad pun. Pen as in "penitentiary."

Which of course makes it worse.

Shit, and here I thought they were trying to be clever using jail humor.

[Insta-addendum] Fuck, TheCoolerKing's post wasn't there when I was typing this.

I really hate the phrase "let's don't"

The sad thing is, I think Cindy Adams was TRYING to be funny. But instead it just came out dumb. Keep your crappy day job Cindy Adams.

Cindy Adams is the queen of bad puns. I picture her shopping and talking to her pals and she says, "That Paris is a flash in the pan -- or pen, as it were!" and her pals all chuckle and say, "Cindy, *you*!"

Then she thinks, "Oh god, when can I write that down and show all of America what it's like to talk to me over lunch."

And now she has.

Why Stan, WHY?!

The worship placed on Stan Lee and other early creators (and characters) always bothers me. These guys told some good stories 50 years ago. They were pioneers, no question. But I truly think their creations continue to exist solely because comic fans are sentimental.

Imagine there was never a Spider-Man, Superman, Captain America, any of that stuff. Then imagine those characters were written for the first time in 2007, in an industry that has been maturing for 60+ years. Would anyone buy a book called Fantastic Four if it wasn't THE "Fantastic Four"?

I just wish the writers who are busting their asses today to come up with original ideas instead of retreading characters who've existed for 50 years would get the admiration they deserve. Instead, their titles get cancelled while there are 5 Spider-Man books coming out every month.

I guess my point is... Stan Lee is a legend, but no longer relevant. So the fact that he hasn't done anything worthy of his own name in the past 20 years doesn't really surprise or bother me.

He's going senile...I can't explain it any other way.

God damnit, Stan. Stop it.

at least he's keeping busy

I think this all sounds awesome.

thats the truth.

his take on dc superheroes a few years back was terrible.

Stan, you are dead to me....

Never mind the way the world seems to forget he only co-created those characters with artists who never got the fame and riches he apparently did.

1. "Stan Lee created the X-Men." I really wish people would stop saying that. He created the original team (Professor X, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, The Beast, and Angel) which was a flop. "The All-New, All Different X-Men," which Lee didn't create, introduced the characters that made the franchise.

2. Stan Lee never had "taste." Have you noticed how virtually every female super-hero in Marvel Comics has been drawn over the past 20-30 years? People give the folks who make Barbie shit for that kind of thing, but, for some reason, Lee has always been fogiveable.

3. He needs to keep his goddamned hooks out of every film adaptation of his comics.

Why do you make me cry, Stan?

Well, it's official I have to think Stan is entering the first stages of Alzheimer's. Totally living in his own little world and having no clue what is going on.

Stan Lee, like the entire Marvel universe proper (or 616, if you will), has been replaced by a Skrull.
An anal Skrull.

Or, y'know, Stan Lee could be off his medication again.

CoolerKing suggests Ringo Starr "stinks"... I wonder if CoolerKing knows who Ringo Starr is.

CoolerKing can suck a dick.
