Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
Let me set the scene here; youÕre watching a Marvel movie, tensions are rising, the worldÕs
in danger, the heroes are racing to save it, when out of the blue a familiar face pops
out.
ItÕs Stan Lee, who doesnÕt let us forget that without him, Marvel would be nothing!
And the theatre bursts into laughter, and all is right in the world.
Our world, at least.
The MCU is still very much in danger.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 STAN LEE EASTER EGGS.
In the number 10 spot is ANTMAN.
Antman came out in 2015, and though the movie had a changeover in directors, it retained
this lovely little surprise of a scene.
During a retelling of his friend meeting a girl, Luis gives us a flashback into a bar.
And who is the bartender none other than Lee himself, with LuisÕ voice dubbed over his
lip syncing.
We can still hear it in his voice though.
The scene is only a split second, but some crazy stupid fine comedic timing.
Next, at number 9, is SPIDERMAN HOMECOMING.
Homecoming of 2017 was full of little laughs sprinkled throughout, but none got the theatre
cracking up quite as much as the appearance of Lee.
He popped his head out the window to say a stern word during the scene where Spidey attempts
to prevent someone from stealing their own car.
Then he hangs around to chat with the neighbor, and you get the feel that heÕs probably like
that with his real life neighbors too.
In the number 8 spot, IS THOR.
We have two videos for superheroes who can lit ThorÕs hammer.
And no, Stan Lee did not make the list.
This doesnÕt stop him from trying of course, but not without cheating.
A surprise drop in in New Mexico in this 2011 film turns out to be the Marvel chairman himself.
And instead of leaving with the hammer, he seems to leave with a large auto repair bill
himself.
You canÕt cheat the mjolnir.
Up at number 7, we have DEADPOOL.
In this 2016 movie, Stan Lee appears kinda in the last place we would imagine him.
In fact, weÕre hoping none of you imagine Stan in a strip club.
But here he takes the role of strip club MC, a much more risquŽ cameo than we are used
to seeing.
But luckily for our children, Stan was not actually in a strip club filming, but rather
a studio offsite, and the scene was added in post production.
Although he says next time he wants to be around for the real deal.
Coming in at number 6, we got CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR.
In this 2016 movie, Stan Lee takes up a new job as a FedEx delivery man.
There is such a juxtaposition with this cameo because the whole movie has tension thick
enough to cut with a knife, friends have turned on each other, Tony Stark and James Rhodes
are having real serious talks, and then here comes Stan Lee.
Clutching his little box, looking for Tony Stank.
Could not have been better timing.
Next up, at number 5, is GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 2.
This cameo from the 2017 movie actually has some theories behind it that tie it together
with every other cameo here.
Stan Lee in space explaining his role of FedEx man, sounds familiar right, actually gave
birth to the theory that Lee was actually the same person in every cameo; a time and
space traveller who trades jobs every so often and wants to share this knowledge with those
who collect the knowledge of the universe, the watchers.
Up next at number 4, we have THE SIMPSONS.
Ok, so itÕs not a movie, but itÕs one of my favorites, so I get to put it on the list.
During the episode I am furious Yellow, Stan Lee drops by the androids dungeon and lets
Bart down easy by telling him his homemade comic stinks.
He also proceeds to shift the store display around so that Marvel titles are covering
all the Dc ones.
I know he wouldnÕt do that in real life proooobably, but for some reason this scene just feels
so ÒhimÓ.
In the number 3 spot, WE got XMEN.
The cameo in this 2000 movie was the very first big picture appearance, so it deserves
a spot so high up on the list, despite lee not actually having any lines.
He is a hot dog vendor on the beach here, and itÕs quite easy to miss, making it seem
the most like an Easter egg out of all of these.
That, plus people back then still were in the dark about what he even looked like.
The glimpse is fleeting but the reward for those with an eagle eye is oh so great.
Almost as great as the amount of sunscreen that guy is using on his girlfriend, which
is greatly obscene.
Coming in at number 2, is AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON.
UltronÕs 2015 cameo ranks so high up here because Stan Lee claims that this was his
favorite of them all.
If you were curious, his least was 2002Õs spiderman, because as he jokingly put it,
it didnÕt let his acting abilities shine through.
But apparently him partaking in the liquor of the gods and being dragged out drunk showcased
them quite nicely.
According to him, anyway.
And finally, in the number 1 spot is TRIAL OF THE INCREDIBL HULK.
This cameo tops the list because this is where it all began.
Trial of the Incredible Hulk was a made-for-TV movie in 1989.
It was MarvelÕs first cinematic crossover, featuring the Hulk and Daredevil.
And it was also the first time we would see a Stan Lee cameo, as the jury foreman.
From this a tradition was born.
CouldÕve given that courtroom a warning now, couldnÕt ya?
So those were the top 10 STAN LEE CAMEOS.
Let me know in the comment section down below which one of these was your favorite?
