"Animated embellishment" - I think the crew of How It Should Have Ended deserve to at least have the name of their series mentioned in this article. This is a great episode of Stans' Rants.
I assume he's half-kidding, because of all the blockbusters he mentions, none needed an ending rewrite as badly as Ang Lee's Hulk, the Roger Corman Fantastic Four, the David Hasselhoff Nick Fury (SPOILER: he quits smoking!) or the Matt Salinger Captain America, all of which Lee obligingly shilled for at the time as the perfect versions of their respective lead characters.
But what the hell - dude's a snake-oil salesman sometimes, but he's still funny when he spins a yarn. So here he is with some animated embellishment.

How about a scene with Stan Lee saying, "Oh, you want to see cup that gives eternal life? Sure, hang on. Hef! Hef! Stop playing with your girlfriends and get this guy the cup would you?"

the end of 300 - the Thespians show up while David Wenham is finishing his story and ask why they were omitted when they did a lot more fighting than the Spartans at Thermopylae, then the Athenians show up and ask why their much more epic naval battles that supported and ultimately won the land war were omitted, then the Persians walk over and ask why the accomplishment of their primary goal in the war (burning the temple of Athena) was omitted, then Leonidas' corpse shows up and asks why the awesome fight over his corpse was omitted, and then Ephialtes shows up and asks why the Ionians were omitted when they were the ones who were supposed to be guarding the pass the Persians used

@Gallen_Dugall Stick with the video formula - then Stan Lee shows up, buys the comic-book rights from David Wenham for a pittance and takes all the credit for inventing everything.

@LYT @Gallen_Dugall OH, I didn't even think of it that way, but it is odd that his versions all involve himself. I guess that's the punchline. I missed that.

'Titanic': Old Rose drops the Star Of The Ocean over the side. Stan is below in a rowboat. Catches it and says "Real life Iron Man suit, here I come! Excelsior!"

Have you ever seen the video for "Never Ending Story" before they made a new one with film clips?

@arivalscientist @Gallen_Dugall LOVE THIS. I miss the keyboards of the '80s, and the fact that people just did whatever the hell weird shit with their hair that they wanted.
