00:00Did you know that fans developed a theory and managed to make it canon?
00:03Everyone remembers that Stan Lee appeared in every single one.
00:06Literally every Marvel movie, right?
00:07And for many years, fans theorized that Stan Lee was much more important than he seemed.
00:11After all, he knew all the Spider-Men, the X-Men, the Avengers,
00:14and everything important that happened in that universe.
00:17And this theory said that he was actually the Watcher,
00:19a comic book character who observes everything that happens on Earth.
00:22Obviously, this wasn't planned from the beginning.
00:24They just put Stan Lee in the movies as a way of thanking him for creating so many heroes.
00:28But this is where things get much crazier.
00:30The director of Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn, saw this theory and loved the idea.
00:34He even said it was one of the best things fans had ever come up with.
00:36And that's why James added a scene in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
00:39that practically confirmed this theory that Stan Lee was the Watcher.
00:42Hey, wait, where are you going?
00:44Hey, you were supposed to be my left home.
