...is anyone besides me feeling sorta smug (especially if your parents chucked your comics when you were younger because they were "bad" for you?)

If anything, I'm still just kind of surprised. Not only am I surprised that these movies have so much mainstream appeal now (now that they have good budgets, anyway), but more than anything I'm surprised by how well my previously-non-comic-book friends are behaving. I expected them to be super annoying bandwagoners who act like they suddenly know everything about these comic book characters. Instead, they're quite aware of how different and complicated (and often ridiculous) the original storylines are from the comics.
I guess it isn't so surprising. Almost everyone is familiar with some kind of source material that was converted into a visual medium, whether it's Harry Potter or Game of Thrones or LotR or Hunger Games, etc. People know now that the movie version, while still entertaining, is rarely representative of the original.
If only RPGs could be so mainstream.

My mum chucked a mountain of my comics away when I was a kid, mostly dating back to 50s/60s (growing up in the 70s didn't have a lot of money and buying 2nd hand older stuff or black n white reprints was my only option). I remind her of it every now and again to make her feel guilty, but in truth can't remember any real rare stuff worth any great deal of money. That said there were thousands of the things...
