The final six words we all ever hear Stan Lee utter is “Hey man, make love, not war!”.

The Stan Lee 'Avengers: Endgame' cameo isn’t the most inspired in the legendary Marvel Comics writer/editor’s illustrious second life as a cameo superstar. Lee banked several cameos before his death in November 2018 at the age of 95, and we’ve had posthumous visits from Lee in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Captain Marvel, and now Avengers: Endgame.

In his Avengers: Endgame cameo, Stan Lee is wearing a loud suit, driving a fast car, has an attractive young companion, and is playing loud music appropriate to the era. The car boasts a flower power styled bumper sticker that reads “Nuff Said,” which, along with lines like “Excelsior!” and “face front, true believer” were staples of Lee’s trademark editorial patter, and he often used the phrase to sign off his “Stan’s Soapbox” columns in the pages of Marvel Comics. On a less comics related, but still era-appropriate note, the first three digits of the license plate on the car he is driving are “420.”

“It’s his last one committed to film,” co-director Joe Russo told Mashable in February 2019.

It’s very likely that he also filmed a cameo for Spider-Man: Far From Home, and that will be the last installment of the weird, cosmic adventures of Stan Lee in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
