The cartoon industry reacts to Bill Maher's reaction to the reaction of Stan Lee, attacking comic book fans

Before the holiday season, comedian and talk show host Bill Maher wrote an editorial that was criticized by fans of comics and superhero movies. Immediately after Stan Lee's death, the blog certainly set fire to the entertainment world for a few days.

Then last night, Maher attended his weekly show on HBO – Real time with Bill Maher – to double his publication on his November blog. The host devoted the last six minutes of his show to an incursion where he continued to take on fans and collectors.

"You can, if you like, like exactly the same things you liked when you were ten, but if you want, you have to grow," said Maher during the speech, among other things. "That was the goal of my blog, I'm not happy that Stan Lee died, I'm sad that you're alive." By the way, if someone says you're a kid and you're reacting by pushing a temper tantrum, you're not Iron Man – you're Irony Man. Let me tell you that people were upset about this post, I was not even aware that I stole so many cloaks until I saw that 40,000 followers on Twitter had me abandoned like that. [snaps]. "

Needless to say, Twitter comics quickly get to the microblogging platform to share their views on the situation. Keep scrolling to see the reactions of several industry professionals!

@ Billmaher #new rules still misses the point on comics and graphic novels. These are not just superheroes, not just radioactive … https://t.co/ghf0dPalWY

We are so happy that we have intellectual giants such as @ Billmaher tell us that comics are not legitimate literature. Since I am one of those ignorant comic-book readers with no cognitive abilities to form an intelligent creative answer, I'll just say … suck me, Mr. Maher. pic.twitter.com/B0arBil9vX

It's odd that Bill Maher stood out by the fact that people were sad when a 95-year-old veteran of the Second World War died, right?

Bill Maher: The pot is awesome. Smoke!

Bill Maher: Comics are for kids and you should not like them as an adult.
