With this reduction, some lines will need to be adapted, especially where characters are being mentioned by name but lines are being covered by other actors.

Our broadcasting narrators Max Volume and Sunny Day take us to the Fun Factory, the Candy King’s confectionary factory, where we meet his three mad scientists and discover the terrifying truth behind the Candy King. He is a super villain planning to conquer the world with his evil sweets. Curly and Wurly, two dim-witted new recruits from the rent-a-villain agency, arrive in the evil elevator to join the Candy King’s team and we meet the minions, the factory’s team of workers and mini-ninjas. The Candy King proudly displays his past evil achievements and explains that his seemingly kind free gift to the people of Megaville were actually hypnotic gobstoppers, allowing him to command every citizen with his giant remote control! Max and Sunny return us to Proton Park, where DC attempts to cheer up an unemployed Stan with the song “Every Step Of The Way (Pre-Reprise)”. The X-Men are possibly the most widely recognized superhero team among any age group in the world. With the success of heroes like Hulk, Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four, Stan Lee said that he wanted to create a new group of superheroes, but didn't want to explain how they got their powers, so as he stated, "Why don't I just say they're mutants. They were born that way." The original group started off with just Professor X, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel and Iceman, but that small roster soon grew to include hundreds of new mutants often splintered into different sub-teams of the X-Men in different titles. My favourite recent cameo of his was from the Spider-Man game that came out a few months ago. You tend to expect cameos in all Marvel movies but for some reason the cameo in the game took me by surprise. Even though it was an animated version rather than his actual likeness, it captured all his charm and I was grinning like an idiot when i saw it. Turns out it’ll be the last one released before his death. Fitting that it was Spider-Man. RIP Stan. dsk84 ‘A huge escapist part of my otherwise anxious and sometimes fear-driven childhood’ Stan’ communities can often become echo chambers of fanatical fans that aren’t able to leverage objectivity due to groupthink,” explains Hills. “Contrary voices can become buried in spam and abuse, and it can disempower its own members out of fear of becoming vilified by their own.”Can Superstan crush The Candy King and save the planet? Find out in this funtastic adventure as our hapless Superhero flies by the seat of his pants, faster than a speeding paper aeroplane, and learns that with great power comes great hilarity! That said, the heart of Stan culture comes from a place of positivity — both in praising “stanned” artists, and creating a community where fans can find and bond with like-minded individuals. If "Stan" Originated In 2000, Why Am I Only Hearing About It Now? I thought it would be nice to share my father’s memories of Stan Lee with you along with a photo of the A1 size drawing of the superhero Stan and Herb Trimpe created during a 1975 BBC Pebble Mill at One interview. Personally I am a life long Marvel fan, as are “Seymour-Man’s” grandchildren so the fact that their grandpa is not only their real life superhero but also a Stan Lee created Marvel one is priceless. The following is my dad, David Seymour’s, fond recollection of Stan’s visit to the Pebble Mill studios: It’s a great comical production for YEAR 6 because of the jokes. Can be hard to understand when you are in year 5 but other than that it’s fantastic.’

Wow, what can I say? Simply the best children's musical I've produced. It's full of non-stop lively fun and action, every song is fantastic (the teachers were singing and dancing in the staffroom), the script is pure genius and had the children and adults in stitches. Our audience loved every moment, a standing ovation each night!" While the original meaning based on Eminem's song and the way the name coincidentally works as a combination of ‘stalker’ and ‘fan’ is extremely harsh, many people we would think of today as ‘stans’ are just super devoted to their favorite artist or celebrity and particularly vocal about it on social media,” says Arianna Jeret, deputy editor at Your Tango, who also wrote a deep dive into the usage of “stan.” While it’s often believed that “stan” is simply a portmanteau of “stalker” and “fan,” any true “Stan” stan would tell you that its etymology is a bit more nuanced. Here’s everything you need to know about the slang term and how its use has evolved over the years. Where Does "Stan" Come From? However, as is implied in the difference between being a “fan” and being a “stan,” there is a degree of heightened devotion that makes stan culture a bit more extreme.

In 2000, the rapper released "Stan" as the third single off his award-winning album The Marshall Mathers LP. Sampling Dido’s “Thank You” in its chorus, the song is something of reverse-fan-fiction — as Eminem weaves a twisted narrative about an imagined fan named Stan who kills his pregnant girlfriend and then himself after Eminem refuses to answer his letters. As for the choice of Stan’s name, it’s never been confirmed that Eminem meant for “Stan” to break out into “stalker” and “fan.” In 1975, I was a BBC reporter and television presenter working on a daily network magazine/talk show on BBC One called Pebble Mill, named after the the broadcasting centre in Birmingham. I vividly remember interviewing Stan Lee during his visit to the UK, promoting the Son of Origins, which described the creation of several Marvel Comic superheroes. Stan was a great guest both on and off the set. He was helpful, charming, talkative and inventive. It was an extended interview and Stan decided to transform me into a new type of superhero.
