I missed that, but you're right—a Spider-man dance contest, whatever that is.Wolter wrote: ↑13 Mar 2021, 1:48pmYeah. It’s mentioned in the letters page.

I also looked up Jameson's Wikipedia page and was amused by this:
Later Spider-Man writers Tom DeFalco and Gerry Conway agreed that J. Jonah Jameson was as close as Lee ever came to a self-portrayal, with Conway elaborating that "just like Stan is a very complex and interesting guy who both has a tremendously charismatic part of himself and is an honestly decent guy who cares about people, he also has this incredible ability to go immediately to shallow. Just, BOOM, right to shallow. And that's Jameson". Conway stated that whenever he wrote Jameson's dialogue, he would hear it in Lee's voice, and on one occasion even wrote a Jameson speech that was almost directly quoted from a Stan Lee speech.

Funny how he can still be an easy snarky punchline, yet be a weirdly lovable dude without any contradiction whatsoever.

He is kind of a dick, yeah. Not always, but often enough.

Re: Flex and Wolter's Den of Nerdly Awesomeness
Really? The stuff I've seen of online interactions is that he's settled into owning his reputation as a chromium era hack, akin to Shatner owning being a smug ham.

Right—that's my point. It's the self-awareness and playing it with it.Wolter wrote: ↑31 Mar 2021, 8:14amShatner is also a huge dick, though.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑31 Mar 2021, 6:25amReally?

No, I mean he's a real, genuinely awful person who plays up to MAGA and alt-right sexism in nerd culture on twitter.

Oh! I was not aware of that. I recall him making some sexist comment a few years ago, but I wasn't aware he'd gone to the MAGA side of things.Wolter wrote: ↑31 Mar 2021, 8:45amNo, I mean he's a real, genuinely awful person who plays up to MAGA and alt-right sexism in nerd culture on twitter.
