msc 18,512 Posted August 11, 2017 Just now, Joey Russ said: Stan Lee has a huge cultural impact that is still very relevant today that Kissinger and Mugabe don't have. That why he is way too big to miss... Kissinger very much has a political impact, even today. Mugabe is a trend setter, first Deathlist pick to post on Deathlist Forums. Lee's cool enough (speaking from a complete lack of interest in comics) but doesn't jump out, tbh! Anyhow, he should stay on the list as he'll likely be dead within the year.

It's completely unscientific, but never rule out healthy old guys just keeling over after a long term partner goes. iirc up to 18 months after a spouse death is the danger zone for OAP men - live through that and you're as likely to live on for a bit.

Actually, there were some health issues with Rickles iirc before his death, but the others are good examples. It could happen to anyone anytime, so it's never should be shocking for a nonagenarian to die at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,255 Posted August 11, 2017 I think one can argue that Stan Lee only had a major impact on two generations: The Baby Boomers in the 1960s, and the millenials onwards with the introduction of the mcu. But if he dies and he wasn't on the list, you'll certainly hear the majority of the millennials (maybe not the baby boomers as there doesn't seem to be a lot on here) complaining about why he wasn't on the list cause he's still very relevant in their world today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,348 Posted August 11, 2017 Stan Lee amongst my age group will be seen as a colossal loss.Marvel films and comics have been the soundtrack to our lives.The first comic I ever bought was a marvel.The first VHS I got was a Marvel.My first date was a marvel film at the cinema.Must have seen at least a dozen Marvel films at the cinema. Stan Lee for many my age can simply not be overstated as a cultural icon.When he dies it will be no 1 trending on all social media and will make the news at ten.No one over 15 does not know who he is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,209 Posted August 11, 2017 I think there's probably a massive swathe of the population who have never looked at a Marvel comic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but even if they haven't looked at a comic, I would suspect at least 7 out of 10 people who haven't touched a comic, if not more, would've still at least heard of Stan Lee in some way, shape, or form. And without those people, he still has a following massive enough to guarantee massive news. Not the news coverage like Bowie or Jackson was, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had more news coverage than Prince, for example. Leonard Nimoy was a hit 2 years back, and I'm pretty sure a certain amount of the population has never seen a Star Trek film, yet, he still got a lot of news coverage at his death...

Is there any people that were on the deathlist to wear deathlist merchandise or something? I think I remember seeing someone looking back a couple of years ago who died and he was wearing a deathlist shirt/deathlist mug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
