🐱 Stan Lee’s Likeness Sold to Marvel - Even in death you will be endless trash

https://gizmodo.com/stan-lee-name-and-likeness-sold-to-marvel-avengers-came-1848942463/

Genius Brands International and POW!Entertainment have signed a 20-year deal with Marvel to bring Stan Lee back into the MCU and beyond, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The comics legend passed away in 2018, and his last in-person cameos were in 2019, for Captain Marvel, where he was digitally de-aged to fit the 1990s setting, and Avengers: Endgame. With this new licensing deal, however, it seems like that might not be the last time we see Lee on-screen.

So, what can Marvel do with Stan Lee?​

• It can use Stan Lee’s name and likeness in feature films, TV productions, at theme parks and “experiences” (for example, a cruise line), and in merchandising.
• It can use “digital technologies” and archival footage to imitate Lee’s likeness.
• Lee can appear as a toy, on stationary, apparel, and video games, and in virtual reality.
• Marvel can replicate, recreate, or use recordings of Lee’s voice.
• Marvel can continue to use Lee’s signature.
• Technically, the studio can place Lee in films, much like late Star Wars stars Carrie Fisher and Peter Cushing were digitally placed in Rogue One.

While there is the ability to recreate Lee for the screen, a source told THR that “this new deal does not necessarily pave the way for the return of Lee cameos in movies.” Andy Heyward, the chairman and CEO of Genius Brands, has said that “there needed to be a steward of his legacy” after the complicated reveal of Lee’s “conflicts” immediately after his death. “The audience revered Stan and if it’s done with taste and class, and respectful of who he was, it will be welcomed,” said Heyward to THR. “He is a beloved personality and long after you and I are gone, he will remain the essence of Marvel.”

We need a new term for the next stage after "elder abuse".

Lee was a good dude who enjoyed his mostly silly job and treated his audience with respect - the exact opposite of post-Walt era Disney.

 

[That Chris Guy]

No respect for the dead. Stan Lee was a bit of an asshole, but none of it justifies these corporations parading around CGI corpses of their likeness.

I hated it in Rogue One and I hate it here.

 

[Red Hood]

Even in a more cynical sense- Lee and Disney both knew where their fortunes came from and treated their fans with respect and crafted public personas that kept people coming back.

 

[Mr. Bung]

Just let the motherfucker rest in peace you corporate ghouls.

 

[Dan Abrams]

This poor guy is literally in the ground and still being exploited by Hollywood kikes for money.

 

[IAmNotAlpharius]

This is basically necromancy… except it’s a digital skin suit. Leave his image alone you assholes.

A bit?
Stan Lee deserves to have a CGI version of himself as he was satirically portrayed by Daniel Clowes in "Pussey". A cheapskate credit-stealing lecherous old hypeman.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

I'm not 100% on this but I've heard he was kind of an asshole who took a lot of credit for other people's work.
Doesn't mean he deserve to be desecrated, though.

 

[The Foldless Brain]

Even beyond the grave I must consoom.

This poor guy is literally in the ground and still being exploited by Hollywood kikes for money.

And even before that there were reports that his minders were ferrying him from con to con to squeeze autographs out of him, an ailing man in his nineties.

Hope his family are enjoying the big fat royalties. There was a family not too long ago who gave the OK to have their dead son necro'd via CGI so that he could be a mouthpiece in an anti-gun PSA.

Jesus H. Flying Christ! The fucking body isn't even cold yet! The worms haven't even had a decent meal at this point.

They must have reinforced his coffin, otherwise. for this shit, he would come back as a murderous zombie, and kill every motherfucker involved in this ghoulish crap.

 

[The Lawgiver]

If you know about all the fucked up shit that happened to stan lee before his death this fucking hurts even more.
I've always kind of had a funny slightly joking conspiracy theory in the bac of my mind about how they actually just fucking killed him and claimed he died of natural causes so they could use his social media accounts as digital meat puppets faster, but this fucking solidifies that as an actual fucking possibility. A dead guy's likeness is now 100% owned by a megacorp that will squat on it and probably sue people for using it for the next 90 years or more, continuing to twist those moments he talked about social and racial issues to suit their narratives that will inevitably make the world even more fucking racist and bigoted, it's just genuinely awful all around.

That's a gripping story pitch. Something similar's probably been done before, but damn if it's not a good idea for a supernatural plot about revenge.

 

[RodgerDodger]

I for one am hoping they reskin the old Abe Lincoln animatronic as Stan Lee. A Stan Lee murderbot running loose in Orlanda sounds like something Stan would have wanted.

 

[Hitman One]

I hate capeshit.

 

[Mr. Bung]

I hate capeshit.

I was never much into it myself, but I really fucking hate woke libshits for co-opting everything in popular nerd culture. Thank God they haven't put their smelly fingers on niche nerd hobbies except for archaeology. They haven't touched the natural sciences like fossils, rocks etc too much as of yet.

 

[Blasterman]

Libturds are pathetic idiots who think having a fucking hobby makes you le quirky and le unique. Anime, movies, TV shows, comics, even literature, those parasites will always find a way to cling to something for the sake of having a personality beyond their mental illness and sad childhood. This is why we needed gatekeeping, and we failed. We failed to keep entertainment safe from a small but loud cohort of seriously ill people who have been blatantly abused as puppets by Wall Street bigwigs such as Soros and co. for the sake of their moneygrubbing agenda.
