    It really saddens me that Disney is apparently trying to Rip off the Artists' families now. I'm not surprised but it's still sad. I hope Kirby's family has the energy to fight it again. I personally see Jack Kirby as the main creator of the Marvel Universe Steve Ditko and John Romita made important contributions too, but Kirby's contribution is just so gigantic that without it, there would be basically nothing.

      I feel I have to say that I also find it saddening how Stan Lee's caretakers treated him in his final years, I remember seeing a video of him signing stuff at a convention, and he couldn't even remember what name to sign, so his assistant had to point at the place he was asked to sign and say "Stan Lee". I just tried looking for it on YouTube but had no luck. It was chilling and made it seem to me like he was just a puppet used to make money by signing stuff and making appearances.
