Bill Maher Jan 25 2019 - STAN LEE EDITORIAL - taking on Comic Book and Cosplay clowns
from spookylorre
Bill Maher probably didn't have the "timing" right. The death of Stan Lee might not have been the best time to scold people for dressing up in Marvel hero outfits and obsessing over comic books and "action" figures. A few months later...and here's Bill's rebuttal, and it's a sharp one. No, he wasn't snarking about Stan Lee the person, but the comic book world in general. (The Ann Coulter joke...Coulter was the lead guest on this episode of "Real Time," so any Marvel fan who is also a Coulter hater had to be doubly annoyed). As Shatner once did in a memorable SNL skit, Bill makes the point that taking fantasy and making it your LIFE is pretty pathetic. Stan Lee made money from it and achieved fame. But the Huelbigs of the world who wear their Underoos to Comic Con and who collect "action" figures have no fame, no life, and really do need to grow up. A little. (NO monetization to the uploader...HBO and Maher get it. NO dumb line about "I don't own copyright I just like this." Copyright IS owned and IS respected and the $$ go to HBO and Maher.
