Those who influenced our lives in the greatest way are often forgotten for their work. Today media has advanced so much we don’t remember who helped us create this world we have today. I will be discussing the top three people that impacted media the most!
3. Walt Disney
The man who helped create the number one entertainment enterprise in the world! Mickey Mouse wouldn’t have been here without the help of this brilliant man. Walt Disney is an inspiration to us all from building over a one billion dollar company from scratch. He had helped create the wonderful company that motivates us with fun characters that have morals in each of there stories. It may not seem as if he has changed your life, though in reality he has made entertainment for youth around the world.
2. Stephen Hillenburg
Stephen Hillenburg will never be forgotten, the show Spongebob Squarepants is one to remember, from having humor in every scene, the show was filled with excitement. Stephen played an important role in the development of animation and how his show appealed to all audiences. Hillenburg was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in the year of 2017, but stated he would continue to work on his show as long as possible. He proved that he would not let something stop him from what he wanted to do, being an inspiration to people with ALS but in general as a life lesson to never give up. Though he died in the November of 2018 he will live on in the hearts of others for his noble actions.
1. Stan Lee
To the few who don’t know who this man is, there is one word to describe him, “Excelsior“. Excelsior is the catchphrase Stan Lee used, it meant “ever upward” in Latin, and in my belief is the perfect word to describe him. He was always optimistic about the future, and by creating the worlds biggest superheroes that we all know today. From the Fantastic Four to our friendly neighborhood Spiderman, he had inspired youth around the world. Creating a story to each character that relates to all of us, making them have meaning and struggles. Ultimately his own life story motivates us, he made Marvel into what it is at such an old age.
