I grew up in 50s/60s and never got into comic books - just too boring.
I was a gifted athlete in many sports, a straight-A student and a Christian at 9.
Not a movie buff but “2001” is one of my all time favorites.
Conversely, the “star wars/star trek” junk is comic books for adults that never matured from childhood.
And while I did see the original Star Trek 1960s TV show as a kid (as well as the campy Batman series), I've not seen them since.
I think the "Trekkie" phenomenon is rather sad. Their conventions are mostly unmarried men who still live with their moms. I know this because I had some co-workers who were Trekkies and they fit the profile to a tee.
Here is a Classic SNL skit regarding Star Trek.
