batman_fan Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I watched him do his rant last night and lets see, people that like comics are childish and he gave up childish things when he became a man, but he still smokes pot like some loser pimple faced kid hanging out in the unfinished basement with the pee stained couch. Got it. Von Cichlid and Unca Ben 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quicksilver Signs Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I watched the show on Friday. He never criticized Stan he went on about people who think comics are important and comparable to the works of Shakespeare. Which with very, very few exceptions they are not comparable, if we’re being honest. I love comics but they’re mostly formulaic and silly, just like sports or other things grown men obsess about Also someone has a differing opinion so let’s hate them?

There is good and bad literature. There is good and bad art. Surely no one is suggesting one creative art form is more important than another?

Mr Sneeze Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) I actually had a pretty good laugh watching that clip. Just took it as being roasted and admittedly many aspects of comic fandom make for easy targets. I figure be glad it wasn’t Don Rickles (Actually that would be awesome!) I don’t think it’s a stretch for the keepers of the funny books to laugh this stuff off, after all we (or most) balance work/carriers, pay our bills, raise our families and treat each other (I’m hoping) with respect. It doesn’t get any more adult than that. Edited January 27, 2019 by Mr Sneeze ThothAmon, Quicksilver Signs and adampasz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury Man Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Then donate whatever your payday was for this, to a charity that helps literacy, so us comic fans can learn how to read more good.....you self righteous *spoon*! Even though it wound up on the cutting room floor, I'm sure you got your $$. Hypocrite. Von Cichlid and mattn792 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that was highly disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one would care, except HBO keeps him around and enough people pay their subscription fee. Just take solace that he’s a sad little man that will one day die in total irrelevance in some obscure corner of his bitter little world.

Maher originally targeted Stan's legacy, then he saw all of the backlash from the disgusting remark he made, and in an attempt to cover his butt , he tried shifting the focus on just the fans: “I’m not glad Stan Lee is dead, I’m sad you’re alive". This is so much more than just a differing opinion. This is big time bully mentality.
