In a way I almost feel sorry for Bill Maher (I said almost) because clearly his inner child died at about 20 years old and his adult self can no longer enjoy things that require an imagination or creativity of any kind for that matter. What a sad, bitter, shriveled, windless bag of hot air he is. I mean, I get what he is saying, Comic books are not Tolstoy's War and Peace or Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men but to write them off as not having any complex sophisticated ideas, plot lines or characters just shows you how out of touch he is with the Comic Book world (and he really shouldn't be commenting on something he clearly doesn't know anything about). In other words, because you read a couple of Hardy Boys comics as a kid, that doesn't mean your are qualified to pass some sort of judgment on an entire industry, or even worse, an iconic comic book legend like Stan Lee.
But hey, while he is picking the bones of a sweet, enduring, beloved old man that just died as some sort of publicity stunt (for crying out loud), perhaps Bill Maher should double down on his stupidity and pick on Betty White next. I mean, why not, she only the most beloved, sweet little old lady still living in the entertainment world. I'm sure he would get all kinds of attention for that too.
