After seeing the thread about Stan Lee potentially leaving this Earthly realm in the near future, I thought I'd make a thread to challenge GAF's whimsy.

So here you have it:

Would you rather have lived Stan the Man's life of abundant creativity, being a cornerstone of an art form and a cultural pioneer?

Or would you rather be The Hef, a visionary playboy that challenged the social norms and got to live in a mansion full of beautiful women?

A few facts to help you decide.

Stanley Martin Lieber (born December 28, 1922), better known by the pen name Stan Lee, is an American comic book writer, editor, actor, producer, publisher, television personality, and the former president and chairman of Marvel Comics.

In collaboration with several artists, most notably Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, he co-created Spider-Man, the Hulk, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Thor, and many other fictional characters, introducing complex, naturalistic characters and a thoroughly shared universe into superhero comic books. In addition, he headed the first major successful challenge to the industry's censorship organization, the Comics Code Authority, and forced it to reform its policies. Lee subsequently led the expansion of Marvel Comics from a small division of a publishing house to a large multimedia corporation.

He was inducted into the comic book industry's Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1995.

Hugh Hefner launched Playboy. The undated first issue, published in December 1953, featured Marilyn Monroe from her 1949 nude calendar shoot.
Hefner remade himself as a bon viveur and man about town, a lifestyle he promoted in his magazine and two TV shows he hosted, Playboy's Penthouse (1959–1960) and Playboy After Dark (1969–1970). He admitted to being "'involved' with maybe eleven out of twelve months' worth of Playmates" during some of these years. Donna Michelle, Marilyn Cole, Lillian Müller, Shannon Tweed, Brande Roderick, Barbi Benton, Karen Christy, Sondra Theodore, and Carrie Leigh were a few of his many lovers. In 1971, he acknowledged that he experimented in bisexuality.
Hefner then began to move an ever-changing coterie of young women into the mansion, even dating up to seven girls at once, among them, Brande Roderick, Izabella St. James, Tina Marie Jordan, Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, and Kendra Wilkinson.

They're both old as shit so neither. Hefner might have been balling at one point, but he's seemed like a pathetic old man for as long as I can remember.

Can't say for sure, but I will say that of the two, Stan is still living a life I'd want to lead at his age, but Hugh's act these days is pretty sad. I feel sorry for him, but I envy stan

Stan Lee over Hugh Heffner any day. What has Hugh Heffner really created besides a popular porn magazine? I guess that's nothing to be ashamed of really and is a pretty great accomplishment when you look at the entirety of the run and the brand, but compared to aiding in the creation of some of the most beloved characters that will live on far past my lifetime, it's pretty pathetic.

Dude's a real pimp the way he has women pity fuck him and sleep with him to try and get a career. I wonder if he thinks about his children while fantasizing about 20 year olds.

I'd say this is selling hugh short a little. In it's prime playboy had some amazingly well written content. People really DID read it "for the articles." There's a big difference between what it was, and smut rags like hustler. These days though I have no idea

So, if I'm reading this correctly, you guys choosing Hef are willing to sacrifice a near immortal legacy to fuck a lot of loose women over 80 years? No judgement, I just want to make sure you know what you're saying and why.

Edit- I don't mean women over 80 years old. I meant his lifetime. lol...

Probably Stan Lee, because I'd rather have that type of creative outlet. And, you know, other people besides Hugh can get girls :p

You're acting like Playboy isn't an iconic brand.

Think of it this way. Hugh Hefners empire and legacy are in shambles. Lee's creations will be taking in millions around the world long after playboy and Hefner are little more than trivia questions
