The Comics Industry Reacts to Bill Maher's Stan Lee Comments
98 replies, posted
Such a bizarre move to just talk shit about someone like Stan Lee are comic books. I know I should feel angry but it's confusing more than anything else.
Here's just some of the reasons that's true:
He constantly mocked Bernie in the primary and talks about Hillary as though she's a god, or at least did.
He has a fucking CELESTIAL ego, my goodness (video in post for what I mean)
He hates to be disagreed with by guests on the overtime segment
Here's a video showing Colbert's interview of Maher that became fantastically awkward:

Colbert doesn't seem particularly difficult to get along with, but Maher just fails miserably to appear as anything less than an egomaniac.

this is basically Bill Maher in a nutshell
I still remember when Bill Maher had Gary Johnson on as a guest, acting chummy and friendly with him, then the next episode he had Sarah Silverman and suddenly started talking shit about him and calling him a fucking idiot like he wasn't doing the opposite beforehand. Doesn't matter if he is right about the guy, it makes him look spineless.
He's not just a cunt, he's a spineless cunt. The world will go on loving Stan Lee and his memory forever but Maher will be forgotten as just another talk show host.
I figured Bill Maher would love comic books, considering his own 2-dimensional personality
I'm going to be 30 in a few months. Guess I should of stopped liking video games and music a few years back. Woops.
i feel like bill maher is controlled opposition or something. he exists solely to be that indefensible asshole with vaguely left-wing views that everyone on the right seems to think the left worships
I didn't even know his name for the longest time.
Hell, reading the headline I had to remind myself who the fuck they were talking about.
I like Maher and his show but every so often he makes an enormous jackass of himself for seemingly no reason.
I had him classified under "dumbass" personally. I didn't remember a thing about his views, just that he's an idiot, lol.
A year where a sociopath narcissist runs the world's most powerful financial and military institutions.
What does people electing as their sworn leader and policy maker a person who operates under a mantra of intolerent disdain have to with a dismissing and denigrating a medium directly related and intertwining with educating, moralizing, philosophizing and fueling the imagination of children, your adults and dreamers?
Well fuck, I don't know you tell me...
Couldn't be that the highest office in the land is something aspirational, and as such people aim to be more like the person in the office.
It's not like the most powerful man in the world is a petulant child who has made it in vogue to be a petulant child as never before
couldn't be that.
Unga pretty music sounds for children. Must grow out of and learn to have fun with beating rock with stick.
Maher himself, not so much.
the vase trump appeals to certainly has fallen in line with this shit because lying, fraud, and other things he’s guilty of are now positive traits to that group.
The notion is anyone is pinning anything is entirely yours, the statement covers the mentality of the general populace and that includes marvel movies sanitized of all the :thinking: stuff so they can make nice safe piles of carefully neutral money.
Shtick like Bill Maher of being a thoughtless critic is the norm now because of that
You are gormless.
read.
Go back, start again, and try reading this time.
Or maybe people like things that you don't.
Grow the fuck up.
"comics were for kids, and when you grew up you moved on to big-boy books without the pictures."
ahhhhh fuck off with this shit
"hurr I'm a big boy because I read real books"
What, I have to go out of my way and digest things that don't interest me because...
I'm saying this and I don't even read comic books or manga or anything of the sort.
But I don't shit on the people who do because why would I.
What's the point of being an adult if you have to give up who you were as a kid. Sounds more like moving sideways than up.
Uh
I don't want to start a whole thing here, but that's what "growing up" is in many ways.
As an adult I love comic books, but I also can recognize the immaturity contained in much of the content.
As a result, I've "grown away" from that. That's a pretty typical "Growing up" experience afaik
I would think growing up would be becoming more than what you were. Sure you gain independence and maturity, but why lose any of the things you had before?
Because you can't always become more than what you were without losing something to cause that?
Growth in people is generally caused by loss. If you don't lose anything of your childhood, you're not growing away from it.
Why do you have to grow away from it though?
Growing towards it wouldn't be losing things, would it?
Growth, in my experience and most of the people I've been lucky enough to know, comes from loss and suffering.
If we just kept our childhood loves forever, we'd never learn the incipient lessons we can take away from those experiences.
Idk man, I've learned a lot from things I still enjoy today, without any suffering or loss required. I don't see how becoming mature means no more comics lol
That's literally not what i said and you should honestly go back, and try and figure out why you think I said that, or implied that
As I never, ever, even got close to implying that.
Then I clearly don't get what you've been saying. I don't think loss of the things we enjoy as kids is necessary in becoming mature
