User blog:OfficialBrandonF/R.I.P. Stan Lee (1922 - 2018)

"To a person who inspired me to animate. To a person who not only made a whole world of inspiring role models in comics, but also kept telling stories even in the toughest of times. To a person who not only built up the superhero world as a whole, but also inspired us to be real life heroes. That person... is Stan Lee. Thank you, Stan, for all the wonderful characters you created and all the wonderful memories you made for people around the world. May you rest in peace, brother. You are in a better place now and I am very glad in a spiritual sense that God is now keeping an eye on you. He has welcomed you into the kingdom of Heaven! Excelsior!"

- My own personal quote regarding Stan Lee's death on November 12, 2018

As a lot of you know (or whoever is left on this wiki since I now come on here occasionally for petition page edits and proper edits to some pages since I am doing other things now as well), Stan Lee, the creator of Marvel Comics and most notably one of my favorite heroes of all time, Peter Parker/Spider-Man', died today at the age of 95. After battling illnesses and having to suffer a lot in his personal life as of recently, Stan was welcomed into the kingdom of God on November 12, 2018. Stan Lee inspired me to keep telling stories; whether or not it would be in something I would want to pitch or to tell a story that came from the heart. Even though I never got to meet Stan in real life, he is one of the inspirations for me going to college to animate. If I didn't have role models for me to do art in general, I would be working at McDonald's for minimum wage instead of wanting to pursue a career in art at ETSU. I know a lot of you are saddened by his death as well, as a minor reason for him still being alive is that he gave me hope, inspiration, and also helped inspire me to have a vivid imagination to create a world of characters and to also even run the petition. I know that Stan Lee didn't create Lab Rats: Elite Force, but in a sense, I feel Chris and Bryan were inspired by all the incredible stories Stan wrote and all the characters he made that would now build up the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I wanted to post this blog even though I haven't posted one in a while because this impacted me on a personal level.

''To my parents, to all my friends and family, to all the artists and animators that inspire me to keep doing art, and to Stan Lee... thank you for inspiring me to do what I love. And to Stan, personally even though I don't know him personally at all... thank you for also protecting our country during the war (since it is Veteran's Day). Excelsior!''
