Leave it to Stan Lee to have us reach back into our childhood spirits and realize how much of a blessing video games really are. We’re so obsessed with putting games under a microscope and counting polygons we forget how much of a miracle they are. Luckily, we have Stan Lee to remind us. Good on ya Stan. And as always, Excelsior!

Here’s Lee’s statement in a Guardian interview, where he talks about video games:

If you were starting out now, do you think you would have started out in games rather than comics?

If I were young now and I wanted to do stories, I would very much want to get into the videogame business because it’s the most exciting. Videogames and movies are the most exciting forms of entertainment. But a videogame in a way is more imaginative, it has more variety. In a movie you stick to the plotline, in a videogame you go in a million different directions. I have no idea how they’re able to do that. It’s like a miracle.
