Sounds like archival interviews.
If Stan Lee said that, then he was contradicting what's in the comic books and films. Perhaps Lee intended that at the time, and may even have scripted some of the early '60s Captain America comics with that in mind, but it was retconned very early.
I've only listened a few times, all recently. I listened to the first hour or so of his interview with Trump, and about half of his interview with Vance, and then the entire episode with Tarantino and Avery. As such, my opinion is based on very limited, and recent, data.
More than anything, I think his strength is that he asks good questions, and then listens. He reacts like a normal guy, and nothing feels premeditated or dishonest. Most importantly, he doesn't interject his own opinions, or debate his guests. He asks, listens, reacts, and continues. I believe that's the key to his success. He has access to some of the most famous and interesting people in the world, and he gives them a forum to speak. Where many interviewers would push back at, or talk over, guests, Rogan listens, then says, "wow, that's interesting" or, "I never knew that."
With Trump, Rogan's interviewing style let the public get a better sense of the candidate. Instead of being asked leading questions in interviews, and then interrupted or debated, he was able to talk freely and show a side of himself we hadn't seen before. I'm sure that interview helped his reelection. Even more so with Vance. I knew nothing about him, and the only time I'd heard him speak were in media-created soundbites and clips, usually framed in a negative way. Hearing him talk at length about various topics lead to me completely changing my mind about him.
Again, I've only listened to a very small sample of his work, but what I've heard shows Rogan to be an excellent interviewer.
It seems like it should, but his, and Wolverine's, healing factor is a little vague.

Wouldn't that kill him? He's strong, but like any other human he'd die relatively quickly in the vacuum of space.
I'd say Memento is completely original, and Avatar is a reworking of a previous story.
That's just where we disagree. If the screenplay is original, the film is original. It doesn't matter where the idea for the screenplay came from. If anything, I'd say something like Memento is far more original than, say, Avatar, despite being inspired by a short story. The implementation and presentation of the story is completely different and original, and the script was written entirely as its own thing, as opposed to Avatar, which is more or less Dances With Wolves in space.
They were original, but Hitchcock didn't write them. Why does that count, but adapting a script from a book doesn't? What if the author of the book writes the script for the director, does it suddenly become original?
No, because I wasn't there. According to witnesses, she was climbing through a window next to a door that the police had just opened to let protestors come in.
That writer even admits that he has made up his own definition of what makes a film original, and I think that's what this comes down to. What makes a film original to me isn't the same as what makes it original to you.
Many directors don't write their own scripts. I mentioned Alfred Hitchcock before. He didn't write any of the scripts to the films he directed. Some were adapted from books, others were scripts written without a source. One was even a remake of a movie Hitchcock had made in the past. Despite that, I'd not say that Hitchcock didn't direct original films.
If Christopher Nolan writes all his own scripts from scratch or if he adapts existing works, or even if he pays someone else to write them for him, that doesn't affect the originality of his films. Even his Batman films, which feature a well-known protagonist, are what I would call original because he took the character in a direction different from those which previous filmmakers had tread.
A massive amount of films are adapted from novels, plays, short stories, and other written works. If you consider all of them to be "unoriginal," then so be it. Most people will disagree.
According to your definition, Alfred Hitchcock never directed an original film.
It's called the honor system, and it's one of many reasons why voter fraud is so prevalent in California.
Absolutely nothing that warranted her being shot.
In California I was never required to show any proof I was who I said I was. I walked into the polling place, gave my name, and was handed a ballot. I now live in Texas, where I have been required to show ID before voting every time.
The interesting thing will be in 2028, if Trump does manage to pass strict voter protection laws that require in-person voting with a valid ID. How many votes will be cast then?
I will happily bet you any amount of money you're willing to put up that he peacefully moves on when his term ends.
Hopefully the film will follow the stunning and brave move of the recent Marvel comic books, and include a transgender Hawkeye.
No, he'll do exactly what he did in 2020. He'll calmly and politely move out of the White House, and make no attempt to cling to the presidency.
Dua means "love" in Albanian. Lipa is her surname. Her name sounds made up, but it's her actual name.
