Stan the Man, Stan the Man, Does Whatever a Spider-Man Can

By June 20, 2012 Comics, Movies, Video Games 0 Comment

CBR has the first footage of Stan Lee as a playable character in the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man, and oh my god it is glorious. Watching Stan’s 90-year-old frame leap, twirl and launch through the air is sublime, and having him utter such such horribly lame things while doing so only adds to its ridiculous majesty. I don’t even care about the Spider-Man portion of the game any more. Fuck it, I just want to play this. Man, if you can’t find joy in making Stan Lee perch on the ledge of a building, then delivering a flying leg lock to a bunch of criminals, then I don’t know if you can ever truly know joy.

Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
