Stan Lee Says Sometimes Games Look Better Than Movies
11:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Let’s jump right in. Here’s Spider-Man creator Stan Lee talking about video games at Comic Con: When you talk about games evolving over the years and becoming more like movies, in many ways, they’ve gone beyond movies”, he said. “To do a movie is difficult, but it’s linear.

I get the feeling more work goes into these videogames than even goes into the movies. I marvel at the fact the games look as good, and in some cases better, as the most expensive movies. [Those] guys are just geniuses. Now you watch one of these games and it’s like watching the greatest superhero movie, except you’re part of it. It’s indescribable. Yep, Stan Lee is awesome.

The man is always cheerful, always courteous, always polite and clean…you just know that somewhere inside him there’s a Hulk waiting to come out. I won’t rest until I’ve got a video of Stan Lee screaming “F**K” and punching something. This is my quest. It’ll probably never happen, but it’s good to have a dream. More »
