Bill Maher is a real human piece of shit.
Period. How dare he talk trash about us all and talk down upon Stan.... Bill has & will always be a douche.... When he dies, noone will care. I honestly don't see how he even has a show.

he's clearly not a fan and ignorant to the art form. his opinion is meaningless...makes no difference to me that he doesn't understand what all we fans understand.

First he made fun of my religion. Then my President. Now he's talking trash about the Legend, Stan Lee, and my hobby.....
If Bill was on fire, I wouldn't even piss on the guy to put him out...

The reason pieces of trash like him say things to piss people off, is because he needs attention. Like that singer Sinead O'Connor. She is now a Muslim. Big woop..... It was either "change her religion" or a "leaked" sex tape, in order to get back into the spotlight again & I just dont see a tape happening.

Hey Gana! Who gives a shit about your religion or your jack-ass president. I do not support Bill hitting on Stan Lee who is at least a folk hero and a wonderful artist. However, bringing your beliefs and politics into it is wrong Not just for Bill Maher but for you too. Be cool, for the most part I am on your side. I loved Stan.

@Geoff I was giving reasons why I do not like Bill Maher because he made it personal with me. I didn't tell you all what religion I am, just that he attacked it. And if you live in the US like your icon indicates then my President is your President as well. The way you start your conversation here with me, seems like you're attacking me. Then you tell me to be cool?

This was just a desperate attempt by Billy to stay relevant. Why would Billy have to wait until a great man died to trash talk him and comics as a medium if he strongly held this opinion?

Hi Gana,
I apologize if my note was too terse and that it made you feel attacked. I had no such intention. I could have chosen my words much more carefully. Thank you for the note and now I think that I understand your intent better. I get that you were explaining that Maher was disrespectful to your beliefs and your politics and now he has gone way too far with hitting the hobby. That's okay. I think that the real issue is that Maher is completely ignorant of our hobby. Little does he know the high level of intelligence in the people that I run into in this area. 'Ignorant' is not calling names, it is stating fact. I wish that I had the energy to write to him and disabuse him of his notions regarding comic books. The problem is there is so much to say and teach that I fear the cause would be hopeless. It's really too bad. But you are a good person and I'm sorry that I concerned you. Have a great Thanksgiving!

@GanaSoth @Geoff I'm glad to see you 2 are getting along I didn't post this to upset anybody either way I just wanted people to know what was going on with Stan I think it's mighty disrespectful of Bill to attack him and his fan base when he did

An Open Letter to Bill Maher from Stan Lee’s POW! Entertainment
Mr. Maher: Comic books, like all literature, are storytelling devices. When written well by great creators such as Stan Lee, they make us feel, make us think and teach us lessons that hopefully make us better human beings. One lesson Stan taught so many of us was tolerance and respect, and thanks to that message, we are grateful that we can say you have a right to your opinion that comics are childish and unsophisticated. Many said the same about Dickens, Steinbeck, Melville and even Shakespeare.

But to say that Stan merely inspired people to “watch a movie” is in our opinion frankly disgusting. Countless people can attest to how Stan inspired them to read, taught them that the world is not made up of absolutes, that heroes can have flaws and even villains can show humanity within their souls. He gave us the X-Men, Black Panther, Spider-Man and many other heroes and stories that offered hope to those who felt different and bullied while inspiring countless to be creative and dream of great things to come.

These are but a few of the things we the fans of Stan Lee also consider “adulting,” because life both as a child and grown-up can indeed be a struggle. Stan is the author of millions of happy childhood memories and the provider of so many of the positive tools of adulthood.

Our shock at your comments makes us want to say “‘Nuff said, Bill,” but instead we will rely on another of Stan’s lessons to remind you that you have a powerful platform, so please remember: “With great power there must also come -- great responsibility!”

-Team Stan

@Johnnylray @drchaos The Stan Team was too polite IMO, which was way more than Bill deserves.

Maher quote: "I am agnostic on Stan Lee. I don't read comic books. I didn't even read them when I was a child."

He's a really bright, intelligent man to comment on a man and a topic of which he, by his own words, knows nothing about. <eye roll>
What a friggin idiot

If you mean 'Writer', I agree.

I guess one thing about politics in general is that it's going a long way to polarize people one way or another. I prefer to not comment on Maher or anything anyone says in the press or entertainment industry because it's just adding oxygen to a fire. I prefer to ignore it so that anyone for or against him can just ignore his points and forget about it altogether.

Hi Mr_SigS,
Yes, I was using the word 'Artist' to cover the spectrum. Meaning Musicians (of which I am one), Painters, Sculptors, writers, Dancers etc etc. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
