We love you 3000! Thank you for all the awesome years.

PHNX EN3RG I know right.

PHNX EN3RG Don Francisco también lo dijo en una entrevista,cerca del 2000.El imaginaba que su Tv show seria visto a través de la pantalla de un teléfono.Al parecer la vision a futuro es una cualidad de los grandes hombres,Saludos.

PHNX EN3RG Yeah that's awesome :)

Why are you speaking Spanish? English!

Jota ComiCfun I don't speak Spanish but SI!!!!!

& Mr. King

And the iphone

Steve Ditko created Spiderman, he was the artist, Stan couldn't draw to save his life, he died June 2018, why weren't you crying over his death if you are such a fan

I don't read a lot of comics but i do read a lot of stories, i like what he thought of that characters are not interesting solsly because of their powers, they are also interesting because of how relatable they are or the things the characters are facing that made you care about the character.

@@drrd4127 dude, what is your problem? He never said he didn't care about steve ditko. Also, he came up with spider man's (two words FYI, Mr. Holier-Than-Thou-"Fan") appearance. The writing gave spider man his character and personality. Maybe you struggle to read, so the writing doesn't matter to you. To the rest of us, however, it's just a tad bit more influencial than the pictures.

I know what you mean, my uncle owned a comic book store, and spiderman was always my favorite. I grew up first watching spider man and his amazing friends, then on the 90s animated series. The fact that spider man was a scientist made me interested in science and building gadgets, and the muscularity of all the super heroes made me want to work out from an early age. Now I do all of those things for a living. Don't know what I'd be doing today if not for spider man and for all of Stan Lee's characters.

mine was the fantastic four

I was just thinking the same but I'm 40 😂

Stan isn't the only one who thought of that a few years ahead of time lol. Chester Gould - creator of Dick Tracy - beat Stan to it with the "Two Way Wrist Radio / TV" etc. before people actually had TVs, with DT having access to all kinds of info via his handheld / wrist device. Stan is creative, but there's little doubt that here he's just repeating what someone else told him. Hell, half the stories he "wrote" were created by the artists at Marvel. The flip side is too many people try to belittle Stan Lee's contributions and say he takes too much credit. He deserves credit, it's just that a lot of the credit should be shared.

We're all just in a comic book that Stan is writing. Stan is god confirmed

Nigga the first smartphone came out in 1994 dick head

Garret Tucker - Stop being a douche.

@@garretttucker2440 He means smartphones that you can watch KZfaq on *wise guy.*

Wish I could have met them, at some point.

He didn't do it by himself. Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko created those characters too. Both deserve the same credit as Stan "The Thief" Lee.

Indeed. X-Men was years ahead of its' time.

+BLaDEWaLKER33 *steve disigned the suit*

and the story

Jack Kirby brought the idea to Stan Lee. Stan Lee didn't like Jack Kirby's version, so he had Steve Ditko invent a version, and Steve Ditko came up with the version everyone loves, but it was Jack Kirby that wanted to make a Spider-man comic book. Stan didn't do shit.

But he kind of takes the credit for it. That's what I don't get. Stan Lee is cool but he's not the only person working on this stuff.

@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr Stan Lee created the character

Boston Murtagh he will certainly have a cameo in av4

He has a cameo in Captain Marvel, Avengers 4 and Spider-man: Far from home so we get to see him 3 more times before no more cameos...

They shot Infinity War and A4 back-to-back, so he'll still have a cameo.

They've already filmed his cameo for Avengers 4

Spider man far from home is most likely his last cameo

You're Soo right! The way he talks is Soo engaging 😍😍I love every bit of him OMG! ... What a legend to have him for our millennial year ! Rip Stan Lee ! We love you! P.s. in this interview Im disappointed how Stan Lee was being interviewed ...the host seems not interested talking to him he just keeps reading his cards and throw those questions

It may be from a different art-form but One Punch Man tackles the "perfection" issue in an interesting way. If you've never read/seen it, the premise is basically; the one punch man is depressed because he can never fight a good fight, due to his opponents being vanquished in one punch every single time. Interesting situations arise from there.

@@tomatoesofdoom also mob psycho 100 hundred is about an op psychic. ONE is a great creator

That’s why I was never interested in Superman, he was op in the bad way but Spider-Man was, yes, powerful but he wasn’t overpowered and couldn’t defeat every villain in one single punch.

You never read a good Superman story. Superman is not perfect at all. Yes, he has lots of abilities and is one, if not the strongest superhero of them all, he character is one of the most interesting. What does the man who has everything do? He simply a mild manner reporter when he can be a king, a god! But no, he chooses to be humble and often in his stories he struggles on saving everyone when everyone expects he can do anything. Deep down he wants to be a normal guy

@@cjc4426 Let's assess everything you just described: - he's more or less the strongest hero in the DC universe - he chooses to be humble instead of abuse his power - he struggles with the fact that he can't save everyone, and with expectations put on him - he wants to be a normal guy deep down In trying to list his imperfections, you just supported my point. He's of such infallible moral standing that he's upset he isn't even better at being a hero than he already is. He's perfect and dull. An absolute goody two-shoes. A Mary Sue. And I have read some good Superman stories. You know what my favorite Superman was? The Injustice comics. Because he went full evil and laser-fucked a hole through Billy's face. He's far more interesting as a villain.

You’re right. He should’ve said kids AND losers

@@estebanmolina6456 I'm pretty sure if I got to know you I'd be disappointed. Put away the yardstick.

@@bigchunk1 not sure what that means, but you suck

Technically teens aren’t counted as kids and I love the Spider-Man series more than my own father (sorry dad-)

Actually I think Larry King doesn't do research for anybody he interviews for some reason.

RonSilva jews don’t read comics - cartman

What? Are you an idiot or is it supposed to be a dumb joke?

@@aristeon5908 ZAP BAM WAP

"You're most favorite character is...Plastic Man?" SMH

He only did half the work.

@@Cursed_Mark And he acknowledges that. He's always been willing to give Steve Ditko credit.

@@Cursed_Mark without him Spider-Man wouldn’t be a thing ao

Jack Kirby should be your hero as Stan Lee didn’t create anything

@@paulakroy2635 that is not true. Yes I think others should get more credit but saying Stan did nothing is untrue.

Kino Stan Lee took a lot of credit instead of Kirby.

Solid Snake one example of when lee took all the credit

@@paulakroy2635 he was the face of it all. And I do agree kirby and others didn't get enough credit. But stan was still a creative genius.

To his fans maybe

+BaronVonTacocat never Stan the man is the best

+BaronVonTacocat there's zero evidence that Kirby came up with Spidey. The only involvement Kirby had with Spider-Man was doing the early designs that Lee rejected for looking stereotypically heroic, and doing the cover for Amazing Fantasy #15.

+BaronVonTacocat Stan lee came back n made the idea even better.don't hate cuz Stan the man 💯😂😂

RIP

Demitreus Toban i know right that guy was kind of a jerk

2008 hadnt happened yet. Marvel shit down everyones throat who ever had a bad thing to say about comics and it happened in this decade. Stan can sleep knowing he changed the world :')

Stan - "you silly person" What they really meant: "you stupid moron!"

He does that with everyone

LOL You should see his interview with Jerry Seinfeld

bored1ca Yeah, 7 or 8 years later

Actually 10 years later, this was in 2000 and Iron Man 2 came out in 2010

I'm so scared Stan lees gonna die.

Sorry to tell you, but we're all going to die.

He sucks

R.I.P. to the G.O.A.T. 🙏🏻

Damn that’s pretty cool

& #RIPLarry

The first Spider-Man movie almost follows the first issue page for page. The only difference is Mary Jane is in it instead of Gwen. But since a lot of kids at that time knew the 90s cartoon better than the 60s comic, it made sense to do that. I actually prefer Peter with MJ anyway. I know they added Gwen in Spider-Man 3, I mean it's Marvel. If course there's gonna be love triangles. lol Black Cat would have been cool to see. Vulture too but he made it into the MCU at least.

Woah my god

Lol ! It's funny that the creator of Thanos, Jim Starlin said that Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko were the best story tellers of Marvel. Hands down !

@@comicbookguy6361 yet john romita sr and stan spidey series was a big sale

& Larry King

& Larry King

& Goodbye Larry!

For being a girl you are well informed.

@@comicbookguy6361 So what if she is lol. Don't be a jerk

@@thearcadegamer8128 So what if she isn't ? Don't be stupid.

Actually Jack Kirby wasn't a part of the creation of Spider-Man.

Kamala Drake he's a legend not a hero a legend i really respect him and like him because he's onest and true speaks what he thinks and write that kids can understand

MrRyanwojcik I don’t think he was insulting, I think he was playing Devil’s Advocate in order to give Stan a chance to address those issues/topics

Rob Wright i agree with you noone can hate stan lee i think its one of the most impossible thing to do he is a great man, legend and inspiration to many of people around the world, what a great achievement in life R.I.P Stan Lee

I don't see it as an insult. I think Larry King knows better and is asking typical questions that most of his adult viewers would have and Stan is answering them more so for the unknowing audience rather than just for Larry himself. Stan also knew how to sell a comic to anyone even if they had never read one before or thinks they are just for kids.

& King!
