Ugly, hackneyed, cliched, boring, painful to read, and utterly forgettable dreck by a writer who should be utterly forgotten.Now, shut the **** up.

Nope, it just sucks.Either way, it's futile. Aristotle will just come back with some lame argument about how Jack kirby was the real writer and all that jazz.

Yes, Stan Lee was writing for his time. But even in comparison to his time, it doesn't hold up. Will Eisner, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Jack Cole, Bob Kane, Bill Finger, and a list I'm not going to keep going with, were all leaps and bounds better than him, even within the somewhat lowbrow structure of the genre's conventions. Furthermore, unlike everyone else, Stan Lee never matured as a writer. Like Rob Liefeld's art, it just stays at the same level of crap. While other writers from those years matured as the genre did, Stan still sucks, when he can be bothered to write an issue.I really don't want to make a case against Stan the Man, because he truly is a childhood idol of mine, and the examples Darth gave were great ones. Truthfully, the breadwinner of Marvel currently (BMB), has much bigger flaws in his writing than Stan ever did. (Whenever he really dives into the "realistic dialogue" crap, I just want to scream, "Oh, the Humanity!")

Yes, Bendis blows ass too. But I'd still take Bendis over Lee.
Nice change from "Stan Lee is a terrible writer" to "Stan Lee was awesome, but like most things from the 60's it's a little dated today."
Come on, did you read that Who Wants to Be Stan Lee's Newest Sellout Cash Cow That Further Degrades the Medium? tie-in comic about some lame-ass superhero that gets his powers from videogames or some****? His writing hasn't changed an iota from back in the days of "Oh no, Captain Obvious! I've just been punched in the face! It hurts!"More ludicrous opinions.
