If You Have An Idea - Stan Lee Inspirational Speech

[@JoeCollins-x2j]

Spiderman was a genius idea. The fact that he has personal problems and isn't perfect makes him relatable and the fact that he is so unique from any hero or villain created before or after him is what makes him even better

[@shayneoneill1506]

That was Stan Lees genius really. All his better characters had troubles. The X-Men where an analogy for the struggles the jewish and black community where facing in the civil rights era and earlier. The Hulk's Bruce Banner was deeply troubled and on the run from his alter ego, Dr Strange was about a man having to reinvent himself after falling from the heights of fame and accomplishment, and so on.

[@logeyperogi1805]

It humanizes Spider-Man, making him not only more relatable, but more within reach for the average person And as such it inspired the average person more than Superman ever could, inspired them to overcome hardships, and remain good people even when going through hardships

[@thebman80]

Back then though I guess the thinking was that superheroes don't need to be relatable because they're above the average man. Batman was probably the one most relatable characters at the time and he was a rich millionaire with personal issues.

[@ammar675]

​@shayneoneill1506 well that's what they tell you. The blacks had trouble and some of the most prominent power folks were jewish. Hell even Malcolm x called it.

[@Cr1ms0nRav3n]

Wasn’t spider man Ditko’s idea? The costume design and everything? Maybe I have that wrong, but I know a lot of people want to give all the credit to Stan because he’s the face of it all, but let’s not forget the artists that worked hard along side with him.

[@patriciusthehumanfighter3642]

This man was part of the inspiration behind me writing my novel, and keeping up the creative habit with my art. After watching this speech for the first time in a long time, it seriously made me smile. Thanks, Stan, for being an inspiration to us all.

[@egg1645]

My favorite thing about spider man is his decency. In all his portrayals through comics and movies, he never holds himself up on a pedestal or thinks himself a god. It’s the little things, like how he profusely apologizes whenever he mildly inconveniences somebody. Aside from moonlighting as a hero, I find the character kinda therapeutic cause he’s so genuine and approachable.

[@Kingzilla90EDITs]

Wow, stan lee is the most wise man ever... and the fact that his publisher didn't like spider man is insane! Spider-Man is awsome

[@afunkymonke]

What kills me is the publisher pretending like he believed in the character all along. Like nah keep your bullshit away from me man, glad it worked out in the end but I'd never really trust someone like that again trying to pull some snake shit

I'm an aspiring comic writer. I have characters and a universe I'm in the process of building, sometimes i think, "i don't know, comic books are such an oversaturated industry, and I'm never going to be able to compete with marvel or DC," whenever i have that thought, i remember this speech. And remember that I'm that idiot trying to talk myself out of doing something i believe in. Stan Lee was and still is such an inspiration, and i wish from the bottom of my heart that i was able to meet him. He is my hero.

From one aspiring comic writer to another, we’re always our biggest critics. I’m telling you no matter how big other industries may be, there’s gonna at least one person who sees your stuff and wants more of it. And even if that one person is you, it never hurts to make stuff for yourself. I wish you the best of luck on your comic writing (if that’s still your aspiration since this comment is old lol) ❤

What is your franchise called

[@kazthehero5053]

@@APXSTUDIO I can't draw and I'm too poor to hire an artist. When I say I can't draw I literally can't. My hands are too shaky and my ADHD makes my hands shake more..I do have a 300 page summary of part 1 of the Manga I'm writing which is making its way to be an anthology series (part one being its own story that's already fully written just got to get to writing the MASSIVE script, seriously the summary is like bare bones of what happens in it, the plot line is like a goddamn rollercoaster from some dimension where the concept of physics doesn't exist. The story is inspired from Berserk, Vinland saga, And some other stuff, the story it self has a whole world of lore already written, a beastiary for me, a whole fantasy world, and a shit ton of moving parts. Part 2 takes place on the same dark fantasy world but now through the eyes of someone who goes deeper and deeper into insanity until he convinces himself that the Mad god chose him to kill the other gods of the world before a God war happens. And a bunch of other comics focused on Superhero stuff, and then a different spread focusing on a varity of philosophical ideas of Identity, The Idea of a human, what makes a world, what moves us specifically as humans, and plenty more. Basically All these scripts are done but no artist. The franchise im trying to start is called Cage Comics (could change, not really liking the name) Long reply but when you've been sitting on this stuff for four years you kinda get pent up with it...

[@APXSTUDIO]

@@kazthehero5053 oh sorry to hear abt that Also ayeeee your plot sounds very good Well for now I think u can write Great Novel with that when u earn money from it then u can hire artist to draw ur comic Also Cage Comic sounds very good to me it has nice ring on it Also even I have my franchise which I am starting to make but first it's through a game like I am learning to make game with my plot in it. Even I wanted to make comics but my drawing is bad plus I don't wanna use my parents money only my earned money which is yet to come from my game.
