In response to winetarelli saying "He changed how we story", you said "it was for the worse". That seems to me to be a comment on the value and importance of his work.
But thanks for clarifying that you only meant the recent Marvel movies, movies with which he had nothing to do, other than that he co-created the characters over 50 years ago. He sold the rights to everything many years ago. You can't blame Stan for the plotting, style, direction, visual effects, sound effects, etc.
If so, you should also blame Shakespeare for Mel Gibson's Hamlet.
Thank you for that. I was not trying to comment in any way on the importance of what Lee did, but what the film industry has chosen to do with it. It's a lot like what happened to the great Philip K Dick. Hollywood ruined almost every one of his stories by trying to turn them into action pictures. He was much more cerebral.
