The Best Geek & Pop Culture Accounts to Follow on Threads
Geeks, who are you following on Threads? The social media landscape is constantly changing, and the latest upgrade to occur is Threads. This app, from Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta — the company behind Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp — aims to provide an alternative to the now Elon Musk-owned Twitter.
Currently, Threads is a mobile-based app with 30-million sign ups — and counting. It’s linked to your existing Instagram account, so you can jump right in with your current information and algorithm content. So, once you’ve gotten started, here’s our list of the top geeky accounts who have appeared on Threads!
Sideshow
If you like us here, you’ll love us on Threads! Let’s hang out on the official Sideshow Threads account.
Marvel
First up, we have Marvel Studios. The purveyors of fan-favorite onscreen super heroes like the Avengers have made their debut on Threads using an iconic Captain America quote: “I can do this all day.” The separate, more comic-oriented Marvel account started with a humorous reference to Spider-Man, writing, “With great powers comes great responsibility. Us in the meeting deciding on our first Threads post. ^”

Star Wars
Of course, the galaxy might be a vast place, but news travels faster than the speed of light for users of the Force. Star Wars™ has also joined Threads, quoting Anakin Skywalker™ in their debut post: “This is where the fun begins.” Hopefully they have more luck than Anakin in conquering this new empire — ahem, we mean platform.

Prime Video
Prime Video came in hot with the iconic “First” as their first Threads post. Since then, they’ve been memeing shows like The Boys and Fleabag. They’ve also helpfully put together “An inspired watch list (suggestions welcome): Phantom THREAD (2018), Sister Street Fighter: Hanging By A THREAD (1974), The Dressmaker (2015), No STRINGS Attached (2011), CHAIN Reaction (1996).” Thanks, Prime. We’ll pretend it isn’t super ironic that you’re here.
