[Kevin Roegele]

"Jim Cameron originally had planned to do Spider-Man many years ago, and he told me that he thought it would be better if the web came out of the hand organically rather than through a web-shooter. So there are two great filmmakers, Cameron and Sam Raimi, and they both felt it would be better the way they did it." - Stan Lee

he's right about everything! too bad everything after Spider-man 2 has crashed and burned

 

[comicfan4Life]

I agree 100% percent about everything he said.

 

[Mr. Socko]

This is why Stan's the Man. Great list

 

[The Question]

Well, I tend to think that the appeal of The Hulk and Daredevil is that they're fairly tortured characters, and Daredevil's especially is the juxtoposition of his horrible life and his ability to crack a joke and make light of his suffering. But otherwise, he's absolutely right.

 

[Spider–Man]

Gotta love the Man! My personal 11th rule is "Don't let Mark Steven Johnson NEAR a comic book property."

 

[ZeroCorpse]

12th Rule: Don't turn your hero into a creepy stalker.

13th Rule: Don't give your hero an Achilles heel that seems to be terribly easy to acquire and multiply.

14th Rule: Keep Uwe Boll away from ANY property, especially games and comics.

15th Rule: Alan Moore HATES it. `Doesn't matter what it is or how well it's done, he f**king HATES it.

In the case of Daredevil, I think that really reflects, more than anything, the night-and-day differences between Lee's original vision for Daredevil and the Miller version that has existed since the 80s.

good points by stan

I don't think they're that different. Miller amped up the serious, noirish aspects of the character, but they were already there from the start.

 

[Mister J]

Great listing by Stan the Man. I think there are times when multiple villains work (as long as it's not overdone), but other than that, I found myself nodding along with the words I was reading.

I actually think having both Bullseye and Kingpin in Daredevil worked fine. Fisk's a physical villain, but usually only as a last resort. And having Matt fight Bulseye as opposed to some nameless made for the movie villain is much more entertaining.

Lol. t:

Very true.

why is that?

 

[ANTOINE X]

Stanley deserve a Oscar for cameo appearance. t:

 

[ANTOINE X]

well number 9 is not always true they are some actor like Tobey who never read comics but can act very well. I Think what count is the talent not the passion

 

[Apocalypso]

Hearing a wisecrack or two out of Movie Spidey during the fights would have been really, really, really nice too.

i must say nicely put

 

[Storm22]

Stan's second favourite movies are the X-Men movies, nice

 

[The Geek Vault]

Stan Lee is amazing

Passion =/= reading the comics.

 

[DawnWarrior]

Hearing a wisecrack or two out of Movie Spidey during the fights would have been really, really, really nice too.

I'm sure if I culled all three movies and put all of Spidey's "quips" together, it'd be like 15 seconds long, and most of them would have sucked. "Here's your change!"

 

[DawnWarrior]

"Quiet down, let the grown-ups talk!" "I'm the sheriff around these parts!"

 

[Catman]

Stan's second favourite movies are the X-Men movies, nice

And his favorite is Spidey, nice
