Board 8 > Do you like or dislike Stan Lee appearing in the Marvel movies?

(+) Yeah! (+)

One of my friends thinks it's annoying, but I don't really see the problem. The dude made the movies possible. Giving him a short cameo rather than having a random extra doesn't hurt anything.

Same as a hitchcock cameo, better than a Tarantino cameo not as good as a Scorsese cameo.

Half of the time it's hilarious. His cameo in the Avengers was gold.

He says it breaks the fourth wall. He was also bothered by other little things in Marvel movies like the purple pants thing in Hulk and the comment about yellow spandex in X-men.

"I couldn't handle all of the bullying" - Zea_Destroyer

I love it. He created all these characters and its great that he is getting to be a part of these movies in a way that doesn't detract from them at all and just serves as an inside joke. If you didn't know who he was you wouldn't even notice.

does your friend realize breaking the fourth wall is not an inherently bad thing

the only time it breaks the fourth was in the second Fantastic 4

He doesn't understand what the 4th wall is then. Cause having someone from behind the scenes as an extra isn't breaking it. It's a subtle nod towards it but its not like he is in the movie as Stan Lee, he is just some random individual in the Marvel world. Heck, in Iron Man he was Hugh Hefner!

The costume comments are hilarious because they reference the source material and how it relates to the world of the marvel movies.

He thinks it is. I dunno, I thought it was hilarious that Tony thought he was Hugh Heffner. Maybe if they had actually gotten Hugh Heffner to be in Iron Man for 5 seconds it would have pleased him *shrug*

Man, yet another reason why blocking that movie from my brain was the right decision

you don't need to explicitly address the audience in order to break the fourth wall. a cameo from the most prominent co-creator of Marvel books in every Marvel movie indirectly engages the audience.

I don't mind. It's sometimes funny. I always enjoy Hitchcock and Tarrantino cameos as well.

I kinda like it but at the same time in Avengers I didn't think it fit. I felt like that movie had more to do with modern Marvel and not as much with Silver Age Smilin' Stan. But if not him, who would be better? Bendis? Quesada? Whedon? Not really feeling any of that, and I doubt I'd have even recognized any of them. So I guess you might as well put Stan in there. Or no one, that's fine too.

Or no one, that's fine too.

Stan has a contract saying they have to give him a cameo in any film featuring a character he was involved in creating. I assume at least one of the Avengers is his.

Stan Lee made cameos in comics and cartoons as well. Besides, he's such a fun guy, especially if you meet him in person.

His cameo in Avengers was so random and hilarious. It's just a nice treat for Marvel fans so I don't see the harm.

IIRC they are all his except for Captain America, who was created in the 40s.

Yes, specially as they give him fun bits instead of just doing "look, it's Stan Lee".

ALL HAIL! King of the losers!

Stan Lee didn't create all those characters singlehanded; Jack Kirby (especially) and Steve Ditko contributed a lot as well. Doesn't mean Lee isn't an important person in Marvel's history, though.

So long as it isn't dumb stuff like that mini-speech in Spider-Man 3. That was horrible.

OK yeah THIS actively detracted from the movie.

Every other time I've enjoyed looking out for his cameo. Or being surprised by it, like I was with The Avengers.
