"There will never be another Stan Lee. For decades he provided both young and old with adventure, escape, comfort, confidence, inspiration, strength, friendship and joy. He exuded love and kindness and will leave an indelible mark on so, so, so many lives. Excelsior!!"
-Chris Evans, "Captain America".
"How many millions of us are indebted to this guy, none more so than me. The father of Marvel has made so many people so incredibly happy. What a life and what a thing to have achieved. Rest in peace Stan."
-Tom Holland, "Spiderman".
"Stan Lee and Dr. Seuss and Ray Bradbury. That’s where it begins and ends with me. To those of us who have been so deeply affected by the humanity of his imagination, the understanding of reaching beyond our potential and the necessity of tapping into our immeasurable imaginations, we thank you and are forever indebted. Rest In Peace Dear Stan. You made our time here a better one."
-Josh Brolin, "Thanos".
Stan Lee brought joy to millions. Bill Maher brings snark to some modest number of night-owls. The line from Neil Gaiman-- acclaimed author of both comics and "books without pictures"-- sums it up pretty well. "More people cared about Stan Lee’s death than care about Bill Maher alive."
