Comic books have always been the domain of geeks and outcasts, but at their inception the geeks and outcasts pursued virtue. A couple of nerdy Jewish kids invented Superman - the ultimate immigrant, and the ultimate American; an alien who never truly fits in to the culture, and yet embodies all of the greatest things about it.
An aspirational character reflecting how they viewed themselves on the inside. Alien - Jewish and nerdy - but possessing of the same capacity for virtue as the Captain of the Football Team.
These days? The outcasts embrace their weirdness, not in the positive ways of geniuses like Tesla, but like the utter degenerates that they are.
Also: fat chicks with fit guys. I'm so sick of seeing this.
Also: Apple laptop.
Also: OP should turn his observations on the lack of aspirations amongst geek girls into a full-length RoK article.
