We know they shot a bunch of his cameos in advance, but do we know where they got up to? I’d guess Marvel and Avengers 4 will definitely have them, but that’s probably it. And then A4 will have a big dedication

I thought it was four, and that was back during Guardians 2 filming.

The next Spider-Man finished filming a month ago so it's a safe bet he'll be in that.

I keep seeing people with shocked reactions to a frail, 95 year old man dying and I wanna be like "Really?" But then I realize most people don't have any idea of how lovely his final days were.

Stan's last few months were pretty good from what I can gather, despite everything he went through before that. I guess I find it a little odd that people are acting like he is finally free from some torture.

Because nobody knows what all really went down. And while it seemed he was in a better position his last few months it's nothing anyone can really verify. I mean at least he wasn't being forcibly being put into hostage like videos to declare his well being like he was prior, but there's no way of knowing if everything truly turned around completely.

FF7 is full of borrowed Jewish symbolism and ideas, but in that way Japanese media approaches religion where it's basically just the names (see also Evangelion).

What the christ? I'm not familiar with anything to do with Stan Lee's personal life, what type of stuff was going on? A lot of hosed up health stuff and people taking advantage of him or something?

The gist of it seems to be that his daughter was a user who had a history of being in relationships with conmen using her to get at his money. After his wife died his daughter and her beau isolated Lee by firing all his caretakers and lawyers and changing his email and phone numbers. It was apparently a giant poo poo show. At some point media got ahold of what was basically a "Please Help" letter which they then made him film a video saying he was ok and his daughter loves him.

There were also some stories about Lee exposing himself to nurses and groping them or something so he probably wasn't in his right mind. Everything just seemed to go to hell for him over the last year or so once his wife died. Its kind of a sad, common story for elderly couples made worse by him being filthy rich so people wanting to take advantage.

There were rampant stories of elder abuse that eventually ended up with this video being released: http://www.tmz.com/2018/04/12/stan-lee-denies-elder-abuse-claims-threatens-legal-action

Turns out that video was just more bullshit concocted by someone that basically robbed Stan blind: https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/10/07/stan-lee-statement-hostage-videos-keya-morgan/

The nurse stuff was some fake poo poo from the Daily Mail, but the rest of it is to this day still pretty confusing. Ain’t nobody know who’s more to blame - Stan’s daughter, this Morgan guy, or both.

Yeah that's why I said nobody really knows how much his conditions improved. By all accounts his relationship with his daughter was contentious and she pretty much was in control the last little while of his life. But at the same time once this Morgan guy disappeared the con appearances stopped, the weird twitter posts stopped, and other creators and friends had easier access to visit him again. So that's some improvement at least.

Oh wow, I thought he was doing fine all this time because he kept doing cameos in all the Marvel movies and seemed pretty lucid. What a huge bummer.
