I don’t think you have to present the Marvel Cinematic Universe (UCM or MCU in English) in the middle of 2023. All the movies had something in common and I don’t mean the story, but the legendary, unmatched and sublime Stan Lee. His full name is Stanley Martin Lieber and he was a comic book writer and editor and occasional film producer and actor. He passed away on November 12, 2018.
Stan Lee is a very important figure for Marvel and his legacy will live on for many years to come. He is credited with creating Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Ant-Man, and Scarlet Witch, among others. Also, he is famous for the wonderful cameo appearances of him in movies and series.
And video games are not far behind! Marvel’s Guardians of The Galaxy or Guardians of the Galaxy game by Eidos Montréal was released in 2021 and paid a great homage to Stan Lee. We can find the cameo in the Collector’s Emporium during Chapter 6 of the game. The door has a big hologram with a head on it, it’s impossible not to recognize the place.
Once there, you must pay 5,000 units by the entrance to be able to take a look at all the winks and references to the Marvel universe. You just have to explore the room a bit to reach a display with an object called “Cosmic Glasses”. On the surface, they are normal sunglasses, but they are actually the glasses that Stan Lee used to wear in public. The description
If you see a relic before you, you’re in luck! From time to time a pair of lenses appear, glasses that belong to a very powerful cosmic entity that, apparently, is capable of being anywhere in the galaxy and at any time. It has appeared throughout history on multiple worlds, and I suspect it will continue to do so in the future. Although we do not know its motives, many believe that this mysterious being has left an important mark on our galaxy. excellent!
It is a metacameo, since Marvel’s Guardians of The Galaxy calls Stan Lee a “cosmic entity” able to “be anywhere in the galaxy and at any time“because of all cameos he made both in movies, series and video games. Because yes, he also appears in Marvel’s Spider-Man, for example. A precious wink for a being whose light will never go out.
