Stan Lee, the man who began it all, passed away at age 95. 10 years of Marvel movies, 10 years of cameos of our beloved Stan Lee. Cameos that we all looked out for in the movies, and cameos we will continue to look for in future movies before realizing with a pang to our hearts, that he won't be there. At least not as we all expect or hope for.
May we forever remember the man who started it all and gave us all a world with heroes of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, genders and colors. A world, that while maybe fictional, has become reality with the on-screen heroes being nothing short of heroes in reality.
So my heart goes out to all those who had the absolute honor to know Stan Lee, to be related to him in any way. The MCU family, onscreen and off, who are sure to be feeling the loss as heavy as, if not heavier, than us. Stan's family, who are undoubtedly going to be feeling the loss heavier than any of us.
So, here is to the man, the legend, the soldier, and the complete, real life superhero.
May you rest forever in peace, but forever live on in our hearts. The legacy has been set, and all that’s left to say, is EXCELSIOR
