That's why I go to the Church of Stan.
StickerOnTomatoe
Not sure who he is but I've seen him cameo in a few movies. 22 Jump Street wasn't too bad, I guess.
DylanMinJaro
I still think they need to do a cameo of him picking up Thor's hammer.
aletheianalex
Oh man, I lol'd just thinking about it
LavaAxe
I think he had his best cameo in Deadpool.
HemperorPalpathc
Or they could cater to fans instead of people who don't even read.
IJustWantToMakeAComment
Y’all are gonna hate me but he made a cameo in the teen titans go movie... it was really funny too... at least watch his scene
brewczski
Excelsior!

It kind of looks like he has a mustache in the first picture but not the second.

I love everything about Imgur...except the marvel fans
kythorn
At least part of the movie wouldn't suck
TheGoatyGoat
Feel sorry for you that the meaning of BvS went well over your head
Leogendery
No, all they have to do is make a movie which doesn't suck
TheGoatyGoat
MoS, BvS... granted suicide squad was pretty bad
ShartyParty
This guy knows how to make a hit. Just ask Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko
Pawnderlust
I find the difference between Marvel and DC is Marvel can poke fun at themselves. DC tries to be so dark and serious it comes off boring.
TheGoatyGoat
Dc movies are better to me because visually they are outstanding and the sense of realism brought to them. Not to mention hans zimmer
Pawnderlust
To each their own. I won't down vote your opinion because it's not the same as mine.
TheGoatyGoat
Ayy

They also won't take risks artistically. Everything is by committee that has no real direction.

DC had better animated movies than Marvel.
iwishjtmoneywasstillavailableitsmyoldvideogamemoniker
Still do honestly, I hear killing joke is a swing and a miss.
SirNames
Both the killing joke and batman family reunion movies were sub-par. And teen titans go is atrocious imho. They need a revamping.
iwishjtmoneywasstillavailableitsmyoldvideogamemoniker
I got Teen Titans, it was ok. I have missed a few of the other recent releases.
jsktrogdor
I'm not on either side, here. But even I gotta tell you... that's not a strong position to be holding. You even had to make it past-tense.
Morriv
Yeah, they've been pretty hit or miss lately.

It's okay. You're allowed to be wrong.
TheGoatyGoat
Not really wrong. Marvel are the apple/CoD of the superhero franchise. Stupid fans that refuse to comprehend better competitors
SkullyGamingMC
I love them, I do feel they are being rushed forward a bit, but I absolutely love them
thesolamnus
In the 2nd film of the universe literally the full cast of justice league is thrown in. A bit is a massive understatement
SkullyGamingMC
True, but I'd like to wait and see how this 'introduce Justice League first and origin stories later' thing works out
ChaosChosen
How about not re-writing their already great characters to fit some shitty movie formula mold?

I really like the TV show Gotham City.

Correction, "Gotham".

The Dark Knight? Are you all just fucking with us or what?
uhhMurdok
I love Marvel but come on.
BrandonianFlynnigan
The Dark Knight is a great movie, but it is not a very good comic book movie. Plus I think @DarthDeadpool was talking about recent DC films.
ScicleX
You also have to consider the legacy of the characters. Batman has been redone so many times in film that people are more critical of it.
ScicleX
Iron man was NEVER done on film, and with a good studio it was able to be a great standalone film because the character was fresh.
ScicleX
Honestly if DC wanted to make a good movie they needed to start with something good and fresh, which they failed horribly with green lantern
ScicleX
After that fear of failure they went back to Batman and Superman to sell the universe because they were safe, but because of that choice...
ScicleX
they lost their chance and choose to continue with their "safe" choices at a time where Marvel's risky movies are breaking records.
TheGoatyGoat
They have made several good movies
DarthDeadpool
I'm talking g about their current cinematic connected universe. So far all three movies have been quite awful
TheGoatyGoat
not really, only suicide squad was awful. MoS was good, and the BvS hate is just bandwagoners
DarthDeadpool
I personally don't have too much of a problem with MoS, but there are legitimate reasons to it like BvS.
DarthDeadpool
The portrayal of lex Luther was unpleasant, and nowhere near the character in the comics 1/?
Smartkidz618
TBH, I prefer DC movies over the Marvel ones. They've just gotten so cheesy compared to DC, which also isn't as bad as Imgur makes it seem.
EarthDragon2189
DC is its own kind of cheesy though: The over-the-top-angst-taking-itself-way-too-seriously cheese. At least Marvel cheese is fun.
Adthay
The cheesiest thing I think I've ever seen in any movie was that batman vs superman "reveal" during their fight

Adthay
that's possible, it was difficult for me to follow his story line because of all the grit in my eyes and how dark the screen was

I liked your comment because you're right, serious movies are nice
DarthDeadpool
When done carefully and correctly. Over serious movie aren't enjoyable to watch. And it's hard to take a movie serious when it's covered in

Bad writing and cheesy acting.

Daxter513
Rushed scripts which are then dissected by the studio. Not getting a director with an inspired vision and then letting him do what he wants
NexiKuro
It's because Zack "No one is having sex or killing each other. This isn’t really doing it for me." Snyder has creative control.

Unfortunately for them the tone of Marvel movies is "fun and exciting". When your lead guy wears his underwear outside, you sorta need that.

gringogoth
The Suicide Squad script was written in 6 weeks. Man of steel and batman v superman was directed by Zack Snyder. That's why.
TheGoatyGoat
The problem isnt snyder. The UE of BvS and the directors cut of watchmen are very good movies. The WB execs keep meddling with the flow (1)
TheGoatyGoat
Of the DC movies. At marvel Feige has control of the marvel movies, little to no outside intereference
FilthyRedmond
6 weeks?! Is that true?

FilthyRedmond
that's just wrong...
jayphat
BvS was fine, until the studio said "cut 1/6 of the movie out" because it was too long.
EarthDragon2189
But even the ultimate edition is at best a polished turd. The problems with BvS were in the DNA of the movie, and they couldn't be fixed (1)
TheGoatyGoat
The UE is a solid film. If it had the marvel logo on it fanboys would be wetting itself that a cbm has philosophy in it
EarthDragon2189
by just adding more scenes. adding scenes couldn't fix how Superman/Luther were portrayed or the tone or everybody's nonsense motivations.
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
Eh at best BvS was trying to sew together 4 different (admittedly great) comic stories. The longer cut is better but still kind of a mess.
baklanah
Yea that's why it's bad but not why they do shit like that
EarthDragon2189
Because WB wants Marvel money but they aren't willing to put in the work for Marvel storytelling
TheGoatyGoat
Marvels stories are shit, there are the weakest storylines in their movie. At least BvS aimed high added philosophy to their story
TheClayKnight
I don't think it's not wanting to put in the effort. It's more not wanting to take the risk.
minant
Their animated movies have been pretty good, overall. :/
DarthDeadpool
I was talking exclusively about the DC EU. MoS BvS and susqu (abbr. for suicide squad I just made up) while I didn't enjoy killing joke,

All he'd have to do is act lost and say: "Wait a minute, I'm not supposed to be here..."

He's acting like Iron man 2 + 3 were never made.

I heard somewhere that since he's getting old, he's filming cameos for all the future movies just in case.
pocketpython
This might actually work - hope he gets a cameo in Incredibles 2 of him just wondering how he got there and trying to get back to the MCU
hashCasher
haha stellar
IMakeComics
I don't think it's so much a "just in case" as a "he's getting old and it's hard for him to visit film sets all over"
alphusultimus
Pretty sure he's already body and face scanned. His estate just has to approve the lines his ghost will say.

"getting old" the dude is older than comics itself
honeywheresmypaaaants
Giant awwww and a little yay?
ilovecake
That is correct. He's rather old and not doing so great, health-wise.
electricgoldfish
He's doing pretty good for 93, considering.
ilovecake
Sure, forward-facing it seems that way. I knew someone who worked with/for him and a lot are concerned for his health. Has heart issues.
justanotherpervatwork
Do tell.
madguy50
They should stop. Marvel movies after the man's death should cameo his grave at least once. Or an urn with his name, or his photos.
ausernamewhat
Have all of the MCU characters standing there in mourning.
Niborino
would be neat with all the green screen tech n stuff. They could switch to pictures later on. Hide him in paintings n stuff.
ThatEdward
Just have him play Uncle Ben in any later Spiderman reboots. It's the perfect role for him, IMO
Niborino
But true, doesn't feel like something you'd expect from Stan Lee, at least imo
ThatEdward
shit, not because he dies, though!
Niborino
That's exactly what I thought you meant lol
Ryebread91
Think they digitized his image and expressions so they can use him.
Juppsius
Makes sense since they were all shooting at the same time, probably nothing to do with his health
imooforyou
He announced recently he's having to cut back on fan expos, public events, and movies because of his age. I want him to take care of himself
Phischstaebchen
I just hope he will add a clause that they have to add 3d-rendered cameos in every other movie that will ever made. :P
UnPossibleMagician
I'd say he's been fairly old, for a fairly long time. I'd like him to go in a cameo race with either "That guy" or Radio-Man.
yupiyei
No, they are using this line so they can use his doppelganger in the future and say it is him
lexgamer
Wait, but he's always been old, and always will be, right?

And they should add some fucking sunshine in their movies
FlatPlutoSociety
Yep. Suicide Squad was their opportunity to finally add a bit of joy and fun to their movies, and they just didn't.

DC is supposed to be dark. Suicide squad was set up to be a good movie until they changed it last minute.... Made it a love story.

Reason why I didint watch it... I wish they would of left it alone.
