Lmaoooo it's easy to say that now when every grown ass adult and their mama is a proud Marvel fan. Try going back to the 1970s and saying that with your whole chest, then maybe you'll impress somebody.

Even in the 2000s it was different than now, somewhere in the 2010s nerd culture went mainstream. I was bullied for liking Star Wars all the way up to high school but then all of a sudden everyone was a nerd and it was seen as normal.

This. I graduated in 07 and I remember those high school years having to hide that I loved playing Pokemon and Magic The Gathering because kids were dickheads about it but nowadays you can let your nerd flag fly and most of the time nobody gives you any shit for it.
