Which ... only makes this weirder. I mean, Stan is pretty much the ultimate get-along guy, in terms of claiming that pretty much ANY shit that Marvel comes out with is somehow Pure Gold, so ... if he's INTENTIONALLY making this sound like it's a case of The Fandom Rejects This New Status Quo in retrospect, then ... well, there's really no way that it CAN'T be read as a slam against Marvel, is there?
