Netflix put out a tweet that told their subscribers that if they type Stan’s famous catchphrase “Excelsior!” in the service’s search engine, it will actually provide a shortcut to the catalog of Marvel movies, animated series, and original Netflix series (like Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist). Interestingly, only one of those characters involved Stan Lee in their creation, but even shows like Jessica Jones used Lee’s characters like Killgrave, so they count too.
