Let us all take comfort at this time in a few things.

• Stan Lee died at a time when his most famous character was more himself than he’s been in a long time and where the fandom as a whole had more positive vibes than negative ones. It would’ve been too depressing if he’d left us even a year earlier.
• Stan Lee died when he was being cared for by his beloved daughter. A few months earlier and he might’ve died whilst being abused by a piece of human garbage, but he was rescued from that and so his last few weeks or months were at least better, if not outright happy.
• Stan Lee died when the characters he created were at the zenith of their fame and popularity. People in China, a country regarded as the enemy when Stan created half those characters, were in love with his creations at the time he left us. And the latest Marvel movies had been not just box offices successes but in the case of Infinity War made Cinematic History!
• Stan Lee died beloved by the world at large and seeing his creations beloved too, he was fully aware of how they affected people and what they meant to us and so many others.
• Stan Lee on the whole had a long, happy and fulfilling life with his daughter and his beloved wife.
• Stan Lee himself and his creations are going to have a legacy and be remembered forever more, even after we’ve all passed on too.
• Stan Lee had a zest for life and made history when he was middle aged. If there is one thing to take away from him it’s that life is for the living and it’s never too late to make something of it.
