Stan "The Man" Lee = Billy Shakespeare?
Comic Book Legendary creator and Father of the modern day Marvel Comics is well known for being a bit of a risk taker, creating some of the weirdest things in his post Marvel-Exclusive career - not to mention lovable cameo actor in all things Marvel and generic comic-book.
Starting with the creation of Pamela Anderson inspired "Stripperella" on Spike TV, Stan has turned his hand to some controversial and bizarre creations through Stan Lee Media (of which he is no longer part) and Pow! Entertainment. These things range from the interesting-yet-different (such as the "Heroman" anime by Studio BONES and Web animation "The 7th Portal") to train-wreck like TV (the aforementioned Striperella cartoon and "Who Wants to be a Super Hero?" reality TV game show.
A lot could be said about the poor man's age and potential senility coming into play from those less charitable about him when looking at his body of work.
Sadly, this is his latest project - and perhaps the most damning evidence of his debatable senility to date.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen: Stan Lee is retelling the classic play of Romeo and Juliet in Stan Lee's "Romeo & Juliet: The War", which is set against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic war high on science fiction and not-quite-so-super-heroics...
A tale of star-crossed lovers doomed to never be together and sundered in twain by ion canons, monomolecular blades and laser rifles...
