The One About Smiling Stan

Hello everyone!

This week should see the release of a video I titled, The Stan Lee Paradox. It's a piece that outlines my opinion concerning Lee's strengths and weaknesses. It's a response to numerous comments I've seen that defend Lee and state I suggest he was kind of irrelevant to Marvel's success. I don't think that's an accurate assessment, so I thought it best to clear up any misperceptions.

The piece has been recorded and I'm editing the vocals today. It will probably be out by Friday.

Still in the works is a Ditko compilation. I could just paste some videos together and call it a day, but I'm trying to write a brief introduction and insert a few bits of information (or commentary) that I removed from the originals. Every script I write has paragraphs of material I took out for one reason or another. You know, it didn't fit or it seemed to deviate too much. So, I'm going over those bits to see what I could include.

In the meantime, I'm going to review another Ditko project from the '90s. It's one of the most unhinged pieces of work he did. The script is almost done and I'll probably refine it more this week so I can do it next week.

I did consider making something about my YouTube experience and some words of advice for those delving into making videos. But...as with any project that's all about ME, I usually get to point where I go, "Why should anyone care about this?" That's kind of where I am with it right now.

So, that's the loop. You are now looped in.
