 So this video is a little unplanned But I thought I'd make it not really on topic for my channel, but something you know I'll have you probably aware of so yesterday Stan Lee died and I just like to talk about that. I Don't think it's a huge surprise the man was 95 You know at most he had a couple of years It's very sad his last year seemed pretty rough with all the news reports You know his wife died about a year ago and then issues with friends and family people taking advantage of him and all this stuff And that's pretty sad, but I want to talk about some some things about Stan Lee that I have found Interesting over the years and one of the main things is that he was able to experience so much of his creations No, I mean about that I think the first time I really thought about that was probably like 15 years ago And I was at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, which is a few hours from here. I used to go there I used to get the year passes and go, you know a couple times a year I actually haven't been there in probably almost, you know, 10 years probably at least eight years But if you've ever been to Universal Studios and Islands Adventure They're two theme parks owned by the same company right next to each other and usually if you get a pass to one At least back in the day it was good to both of them So if you're really quick you can knock out both parks and day But Islands Adventure is a theme park where there's at the time there were seven different islands I don't know if they've added anything and each island had its own theme and one of the first ones you come in you come in You're kind of in an Arabian type island and you make a left and you head over to the Marvel Island Where they have the Incredible Hulk ride and the Spider-Man ride which is one of the best rides when it's functioning It seemed like it broke all the time a Dr. Doom ride and all these rides basically stuff Stan Lee created And then you go on to the other islands and I like the whole park They they have islands of the next island is like a Sunday morning comic island where they have like Popeye and Marmaduke and characters like that Then they have a few other islands right now that they've added last time I was there They were building a Harry Potter Island They're actually there was actually already like a medieval type island and they were adding a Harry Potter area to it And then there's like a Dr. Seuss Island where you can go to a zoo and see all these animals from Dr. Seuss books and go through the cat and the hat ride and I think it was there on the Dr. Seuss Island that really made me think Think about the park and all the things on it and think about you know, Dr. Seuss died Around 1990 I want to say it was just before I moved to Florida. I moved to Florida in 91 so so you know 1989-1990 I would say I'm pretty sure that's when Dr. Seuss passed away Either that or I'm getting him mixed up with Jim Hanson. I think they probably both passed away at the same time anyway off topic Basically Dr. Seuss died Before this park was made he didn't get to like experience even though it's all pretend but like Real-life interact with things he came up with same with all the like the creator of Popeye Popeye was you know, he's not as popular as he used to be but back in like I want to say the 20s supposedly You know, he was one of the most popular comic cartoon characters and and I always loved him growing up Well, his creator died in the 1930s So he didn't get to go to this island and see you know This boat and and the characters and go on the rides for things Stanley was I feel very blessed to live in a time where he was able to go and ride the rides and experience things He came up with if you think back to the 1990s. There was a spider-man cartoon the amazing Spider-man the animated series. I think it was called these had a number but a spider-man has had One or two cartoons every decade for the last like 40 years But the very last episode of that series, which is a great series there's one of the first cartoons I think it was a 2d cartoon where they actually It was very, you know today stairs not very good But back then they actually integrated a lot of 3d stuff like when spider-man was swinging through the cities It was 2d drawing but he was swinging through a three-dimensional render Which again, you could make in something like Bunder in about five minutes and probably have it look better But the cartoon itself was great and the very last episode of that Spider-man's traveling through different dimensions and he stops at one dimension Which is supposed to be our dimension and he goes to Stan Lee and tell Stanley you've created me and I really exist in other dimensions and You know Stanley doing the voice of Stanley in that cartoon Had one request of spider-man it was to go web-slinging with him And I I'm sure that that really truly was probably One of the things that Stanley probably always wanted to do imagine creating spider-man and imagining that and coming up with that idea And then to be able to go In real life to universe studios and ride the spider-man ride where you're in this car and spider-man's grabbing you with his Web and flinging around and the bad guys are that you've you created or around you blown stuff up and To go on the Hulk ride and feel that that surge of adrenaline that the Hulk would feel and just all that stuff I think it's so great I think he was so blessed to to live in a time and to get to an age where he was able to experience the things he created in real life It's sad that he's gone You know, he was still Still, you know all the cameos in the Marvel movies as of years And I I hope that there's still a few that he recorded that they haven't Used yet, you know in future movies, so we'll still be able to see him I'm sure in the next couple of movies because there's a few scheduled for this next year to come out and on that topic something that I I had always hoped that they would do is so, you know computers are really good about Daring voices and and there have been software where if you have enough voice samples of someone You can do a text-to-speech thing that that supposedly sounds just like that person and and there's been software by companies that have Made it so you only need a few clips and Stanley has always been so great at narrating in the cartoons over the years and doing voices And it's just his voice his excitement his speaking his excelsior was always great So I really hope that somebody takes samples of his voice and generates like a Speech synthesizer that sounds like Stan Lee so we can still hear him reading stories in the future I think that would be awesome if somebody did that now. I'm sure someday somebody will Because again just to hear him Read stories like just to have it to where you can like type in the words from the comics and have him read the comics to you That's something they could have done before he died, but to do it at some point in the future using speech synthesis Sympathization synthesizing his voice would be awesome Yeah, so It's sad he's gone one thing that I'm I don't want to say I'm glad he's gone But I'm one thing I I have been subscribed to the Marvel YouTube channel for years now They used to do cartoons and fun little things with Stanley But the last like two years all it's been is advertisements for their movies And I get those in my in my subscription feed and I the main reason I haven't unsubscribed because I kind of you Knew Stanley was gonna die Sometime in the next five to ten years at most again. He was 95 and I really thought that um I Would say stay subscribed because I'd be notified because I'm sure they would do something when he passed away And maybe they still will do something better, but today the day after he passed away They did do a little two or three minute video, but it really looked like it was thrown together I mean it was nice of them to do but it really looked like they didn't put any effort into it And it's like okay. It's the day after but again. He kind of knew it was going to be happening soon You think they would have had something Prepared so hopefully they do something a little bit nicer. Otherwise, I'm gonna unsubscribe to their channel in a couple of weeks Because they just don't really do good content on their YouTube channel anymore and without him there I really don't expect much so Anyway, thank you for listening to me talk about this Stanley So many great things, you know my favorite comic book characters the Punisher which he didn't create but he named Originally the creators wanted to call him the revenge or or something like that and Stanley said you know what I had a comic a Character in a comic a few months ago His throwaway comic cut character. We're never gonna use him anymore And I called him the puncher and I think that name would be good for your character How about you use that and I'm glad they did I'm glad the punishers the punishment not the the revenger So thank you Stanley for that and so much more everybody. Have a great day
