TL;DR Summary

"Stan Lee," a documentary about the visionary of Marvel Comics, captures the momentous year of 1961 when Lee created the Fantastic Four, a new breed of superhero with a dash of angst and ordinary problems. The documentary reveals that the Marvel Method was rooted in make-it-up-as-you-go-along randomness, which resulted in stories with a casual existential kick and a scruffy human spirit. The documentary is a fan-service released by Disney+, but it's well-made and confronts the revelation that Lee's dream of superheroes who are just like us lives vastly more in the comics than it does in the movies.
