I don't really understand why the response to "Stan Lee harassed women" is "people are still going to see Black Panther"? Lee has almost nothing to do with Marvel creative. He's mostly a mascot at this point—and there hasn't been a boycott suggested.
Removing his cameos from upcoming films seems like the most likely next step/ask depending how the story develops.
At the moment, the most pressing issue seems like the threat he allegedly poses to women around him, and what that means for cons and so forth that book him.
I just wish there was half a minute to think about the women victimized before rushing right to, "how does this affect the movies I want to see". I want to see Black Panther too; that fact just shouldn't have much to do with these revelations.
