19. Stan Lee Didn’t Like the Live-Action Spider-Man Series
In 1977, CBS created a live-action television series called “The Amazing Spider-Man,” featuring Nicholas Hammond as Peter Parker. The show earned good ratings, but Stan Lee felt that the characters were “cardboard” and lacked the depth with which he had created them. CBS canceled the show after two seasons, along with “Wonder Woman,” not because Lee requested them to but because it didn’t want to become known as the television network for superhero shows.
