of the co-creators. It's incredible. And when we sit around
our conference room tables in development sessions on these movies,
I find myself thinking, "Boy, if we could just tap into 5%
of that crucible of imagination." We're just trying to emulate
what the comics have been doing so well for so many decades. STAN: In the days

STAN: So many people walk up and say,
00:00:02.502 --> 00:00:05.088
"I just want to thank you
for all the enjoyment you've brought."
00:00:06.506 --> 00:00:08.674
And I've been doing this since the 1940s.
00:00:09.384 --> 00:00:11.344
People who've read the books then
00:00:11.344 --> 00:00:13.471
still remember them
and have stayed with them.
00:00:13.596 --> 00:00:17.058
And now they have their own kids.
Some have their grandkids.
00:00:18.226 --> 00:00:21.646
I often look back at the early '60s
in the famous Marvel bullpen
00:00:21.646 --> 00:00:24.732
and think about the characters that
came out of the imaginations of Stan Lee,
00:00:24.732 --> 00:00:28.653
Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and all
of the co-creators. It's incredible.
00:00:28.653 --> 00:00:30.078
And when we sit around
our conference room tables
00:00:30.078 --> 00:00:33.866
in development sessions on these movies,
I find myself thinking,
00:00:33.866 --> 00:00:37.537
"Boy, if we could just tap into 5%
of that crucible of imagination."
00:00:38.083 --> 00:00:41.457
We're just trying to emulate
what the comics have been doing so well
00:00:41.457 --> 00:00:43.002
for so many decades.
00:00:44.544 --> 00:00:47.999
STAN: In the days
I was writing those books,
00:00:47.463 --> 00:00:49.173
I was hoping they'd sell
00:00:49.298 --> 00:00:52.677
so I wouldn't lose my job
and I could keep paying the rent.
