Stan Lee – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com Entertainment News, Celebrities and Fandoms Fri, 30 Dec 2022 09:40:31 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://www.geekfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/cropped-Geekfeed-Favicon-White-32x32.png Stan Lee – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com 32 32 Disney Announces Stan Lee Documentary on His 100th Birthday https://www.geekfeed.com/disney-announces-stan-lee-documentary/ Fri, 30 Dec 2022 09:40:31 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=72680 December 28, 2022 would have been comic legend Stan Lee’s 100th birthday, and though he’s not here to celebrate, his fans are; and Disney has announced that they will be releasing a documentary focused on Lee next year.

Watch this:

We don’t have any official synopsis about the documentary, but it did come with the tagline, “100 years of dreaming. 100 years of creating. 100 years of Stan Lee.”

If we were just going to speculate, I think the documentary will essentially cover Stan Lee’s start in comics, and how he came to create several pop-culture icons from the Fantastic Four to Spider-Man. I imagine they’re going to have a wealth of archive footage, granted that Lee had several other appearances around the 80s and 90s promoting comic book culture and whatnot.

Though I expect Disney to cover all the nice things about Lee’s life, I do wonder if they’ll ever cover the elder abuse that he suffered around the time of his death. After Lee passed in 2018, several reports had come out of people connected to him having abused his position and celebrity—even his own daughter JC Lee.

With Disney being the brand that it is, I doubt they’ll want to get into the dark stuff about Lee’s life, but personally I would like to see a complete picture of a person, rather than the brightly smiling, pop-culture persona he’s built toward his final years.

No specific release date has been announced for the documentary yet, but you can watch Stan Lee on Disney+ sometime in 2023.

]]> Fans Slam Official Stan Lee Twitter Account for NFT https://www.geekfeed.com/fans-slam-official-stan-lee-twitter-account-for-nft/ Mon, 27 Dec 2021 14:38:31 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=62953 Marvel Legend Stan Lee may have died back in 2018, but his presence is forever felt in the fandom, from his cameos in the movies to stories of his interactions with fans. With of Lee being taken advantage of in the days after his passing, it looks like more people are willing to exploit his brand for their own personal gain.

Just recently, the official Stan Lee account on Twitter shared a post promoting an NFT of Lee’s first Indian superhero, Chakra The Invincible. Here’s the post:

Immediately a lot of Marvel fans had replied and retweeted with outrage at whoever was running the account. While keeping an account is good for memorials and tributes, almost everyone agrees that they shouldn’t be used to promote/sell a product.

Probably the biggest slam of the post comes from Dictionary.com who had replied:

With the rise of cryptocurrency and NFTs, there have been several artists online who have been finding ways to break into the crypto game by selling exclusive art in exchange for actual money. It was only a matter of time before more famous artist who actually have followings start jumping in on the trend. You would think that the people running Stan Lee’s Twitter would have more class than that though.

For now, the tweet is still up, and Lee’s estate haven’t posted up any retort. If reports of Stan Lee’s life toward his death are to be believed, it’s no surprise that people who were taking advantage of him in life would be doing the same after he died.
