I suppose it was because they were a throwback to a simpler time, these basement dwellers, these mama’s little darlings. They were veterans of the Geek Culture Wars, who had suffered the 20th century wedgies of Melvinhood back when reading The Eternals got you beaten up by girls. These were the pioneers who had debated time travel’s effects on werewolves and quoted Holy Grail back when comic cons were at Steve’s house. They had braved the indignities of TV adaptations where the boots were the wrong color and the origin story now had a talking dog. They saw the Howard the Duck movie on opening night and then warned the others.

Adolescent power fantasies used to be for teen-age boys with bad skin, who had little power over their own lives or over anything else really. (They certainly had no power over girls). In that regard more and more adults are finding that things haven't changed much.
