But as a nerd, it upsets me when people say "OMG I just watched all the Marvel Movies. I'm such a nerd lolz". These people who've never picked up a comic book pretend to be nerds, yet they're the same people who chastised nerds just 10 years ago. That's what upsets me.
Well I'm not one of them. My neighbor loves all of those comics and movies and all the sci-fi stuff, and I cringe every time he asks me if I want to see one. I'll watch the occasional Batman, Superman or Spiderman movie but that's about it.
To me, and I may be completely wrong here, a nerd has to be pretty damned smart.
