Stan Lee was an American comic book writer and screenwriter. He rose through the ranks of a family-run business to become Marvel Comics' primary creative leader for two decades, leading its expansion from a small division of a publishing house to a multimedia corporation that dominated the comics and film industries.
In collaboration with others at Marvel co-writers/artists he co-created numerous popular fictional characters, including superheroes Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, Ant-Man, the Wasp, the Fantastic Four, Black Panther, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, the Black Widow and Captain Marvel.

Two other sources for ideas: If you've unsuccessfully wracked your brain for ideas, put it aside for a while. Go for a walk, thinking about something else, and let the idea return to you naturally. Or, sleep on it. I have worked out a lot of creative ideas by walking or sleeping, giving the conscious mind a rest and letting the unconscious mind do the work.
I'm with you, Jerry. Everyone likes to say that screenwriting is about "sitting your butt down in front of the computer and just writing"--but for me it's actually often going for a walk...
Great advice. Let the ideas write themselves. We are just the vessels for stories to manifest themselves through.
What a wonderful man.
The world is better that Stan Lee lived.
If you will want to make a video showing a scene written by Stan Lee like you guys often do on this channel - I know the obvious choice would be going with Spider-Man, but I think his best work is probably Silver Surfer: Parable. It's Stan at his most poetic and cerebral, paired up with probably the best artist in history, Moebius. It also won an Eisner, which is basically Oscar for comics.
We love you Stan!!!
Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and others were geniuses!!!!
stan lee took the credit and later rights of their works, include Kirby rights. hes no hero, but a fraud
Hey Outstanding screenplays, great work as usual, and keep it going! If you ever read this comment you should make a video about the Coen Brothers and their experiences in the industry.
Definitely my new favorite channel
💟💯✅🙌

Strange seeing Larry King interview him. Both are now dead, and were so alive during my first 40 years....
Make sure the guys your working with are much more talented than you, and then take as much of the credit as you can... it helps if your uncle owns the company.
You just don't Stan!
i admired him too, until i heard of how he stolen credits of dc characters from the original creators, later even their rights, like with Kirby...
Copy DC
No new ideas. It’s about execution. Marvel did it BETTER.
