 Welcome everybody to another installment of a we can geeked him here on YouTube. It's uh, it's a sad one folks It's not something that I wanted to make simply because I have a tendency of getting Emotional about these things because well, I care too much and I care deeply About people and people I admire and love and all that stuff. So this is completely improvised this is sort of a rambling I guess reflecting and sort of Sort of a weight for me to vent and express my gratitude to this Wonderful creative Person that was and is Stanley Unfortunately Stan passed away at the age of 95 and so many people wish they could Lift the life that this gentleman lived where he was able to use entertainment to fulfill and enrich the lives of so many people for so many Years decades to the point where practically the whole world is mourning he with his creations and helming Timely comics and then Marvel comics and all that stuff. It's a it's a long-lasting legacy That I think you know, I can't summarize I can't speak for everybody and there are probably a few other people that can do This better than I can I'm just big speaking unfiltered or unedited of what Stan meant to me as As a fan as someone who Wants to believe in The power of dreams and what we can accomplish with the use of Imagination and the creation of beloved characters that have become mainstays in popular culture that have become this sort of new American mythology that we all love and follow that has been adapted so many times whether it be a book or You know a collected edition or a video game or we're just an image on your phone Or a movie all that stuff It the power to create something that transcends beyond what you thought and is able to impact Someone that you don't know that is hundreds of thousands of miles away There's a connection there that there's this magical beautiful connection that is formed that I think is truly special and the world lost Titan if you will say what you will about Stan's Legacy and all that stuff, but the man was at the forefront of what made Comic books so great. He was able to take all of these concepts and basically turned himself into or the company into this huge PR agent where You know, he was able to bring comic books and superheroes to the masses in a grandiose way in a Fantastic fashion and of course create some really amazing characters that have withstood the test of time you know from Spider-Man Thor the Fantastic Four black panther Hulk all these characters the the proper Avengers and all that stuff There's so many characters even even in the realm of original characters when he did the whole Pow entertainment thing and his original Animated movies and characters even when he went on to do a limited run on DC doing Reinterpretations of beloved DC characters Stan always had that exuberant Flare and gusto that I wish everybody could share and and that we all aspire to he led a life worth living full of happiness good thoughts good vibes and just Making people happy. I Personally take inspiration in that because part of the reason that I do stuff online for you guys Whether it be a dumb video with the dumb reviews that I make or posting on on social media and creating stuff I've always wanted to entertain people I won't always wanted to create stories and and just I think I've said it in previous episodes if I can put a smile on somebody's face for a couple minutes on their crummy day Then I think I had I have done my job. You know, that's what I set out to do with this show that I'd like to call a week and geek them and But speaking about the incredible fantastic Stanley my favorite character my favorite hero is Of course, spider-man. He's everybody's favorite, but yeah, he is my favorite hero simply because You know, he's so relatable and we've all heard it before he's so relatable. He's he's a young At the time when he debuted and he was a teenager. He was a teen hero with real problems No money all that stuff and it made Stan had this brilliant idea to make this character so relatable to the target audience that was reading those books in The 50s and 60s and all that stuff that could relate to a young Costume the hero. He the kids no longer had to look at say Superman or a Captain America or something like that. That's so buffed and an adult now They had a hero that they could imagine some and now they had a hero. Sorry that they could imagine themselves as And I thought that was so brilliant and so special plus his team up with so many great artists on his run of Amazing spider-man and then working with Kirby on Fantastic Four really creating the backbone of the Marvel Universe and creating the whole Marvel Universe itself So much came out of Fantastic Four that Marvel comics as a whole and the comic genre is still paying homage to and just the structure of the universe and the deities and the cosmos and all the characters and the The functionality of how this world works and how interconnected all these characters are from the bad guys to the good guys You had a secret societies like the inhumans You had people down at Wakanda with black panther You had the cosmos with characters like Silver Surfer Galactus so much came out of These epic collaborations between Lee and Kirby Steve Ditko John Romino senior etc. Etc It's just a beautiful thing when you can create So much awesomeness that it can live outlive us all by the time We're done for on this beautiful earth these characters will survive for the following generations to enjoy and build upon and You know entice us to or entice the next generation as well to keep dreaming and keep using the power of Imagination to move forward and to that I will be forever thankful for Stanley to have created all these characters that we Enjoy now in this golden age of comic book consumption with live-action movies and and animated stuff and you know all the joys of Modern technology that we take for granted it's just so awesome to see all these characters brought to life and Stan will be forever missed. I am very much looking forward to Enjoying his final cameos and the upcoming Marvel movies, but it's gonna be sad when we do get to see that final one and we do get to see that tribute in the movies for Stan himself, so Yeah, I am I am a firm believer in faith and And it's not the end it's not the end it's a to be continued It's a seal. It's not a goodbye more of a see you later because yeah Plus I've always been a person that You know, I've always lived by great power and great responsibility That is a fantastic motto that I got as a kid. I understood what that meant and I don't follow it like to a dime But it's something that has always been in the back of my mind every single day and how I'd live my life is Heroically and as good as I can and I feel horrible when I see people Hating on others and and being Mean to each other and doing awful things And I don't wish that for people. I wish that everybody could get along so when People read these stories. I always wish that they could be inspired just the same way I was inspired a Long time ago, and I still continue to be inspired. I love the character spider-man so much. He's always been there for me Since I could remember since I was very little and I started liking superheroes and all that stuff.
