Is Stan Lee a Hater?
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007So i’m not usually one to put people on Front St., but, I have to ask “Is Stan Lee a Hater?” The reason I ask this question, is because it seems that everytime you turn around, Stan Lee is in appearing in some Marvel blockbuster, but, not ALL of the Marvel flicks (and sometimes, not even the BEST ones).
In three full runs of Blade, Stan Lee was mystery meat. I didn’t catch him in Elektra (the worst of all Marvel films — perhaps he knew that ahead of time???), and in the most recent Marvel cinematic hustle, Ghost Rider, my man was an absentee landlord as well.
So, why is Stan Lee hating on a Black vampire, a flaming skull, and a beautiful and deadly Greek assassin?
If he fails to appear in a Marvel flick, does that imply he doesn’t feel it’s a quality production? It’s been bugging me for a hot minute, now. For me, there is entertainment value in Blade. Johnny Blaze and Ghost Rider even left me feeling like I didn’t completely waste my loot. What da dew witcha, Stan Lee? Bahlactus has spoken.
