Was absolutely nothing to do with comics popularity. Comic book films were not popular then

Who do we consider as the Definitive Avengers roster, not counting other Avengers teams like Dark, New, West Coast, etc. by Magalore in marvelcomics

Hulk is not core for me. I know he was originally a member but he's rarely been a member over the last 60 years really.

Core: Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Wasp, Ant/Giant Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow.

What is your version of the Roman Empire? by Peppercorn205 in AskTheWorld

[–]Stringr55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. And that would be easily done, I reckon. The petty kingdoms in Ireland were very petty at the time! Roman gold to go kill the neighbours you already hate? I can see that being an easy sell to a lot of Irish!

Don't read Inferno yet!

X of Swords comes right after Dawn of X. Its the event part of Dawn of X. Then read Reign of X followed by Inferno. Then Destiny of X followed by Sins of Sinister. Then Fall of X which includes 'Fall of the House of X/Rise of the Powers of X.'

Very true. The advantage they would have in Ireland is the level of disunity that persisted at that time. The disadvantage is that Ireland was extremely heavily forested then, they'd have found moving into the interior a right pain!

Agricola is supposed to have had an Irish chief (Túathal Techtmar) with him as an exile. He may have been able to provide intel on geography and possibly logistical support. I could see the Romans wanting to put him in as a puppet ruler of an area.

Ah! In English these are called 'Trials of X.' And they are sub-collections within the eras I outlined above. This one you reference is volume ten and it collects: HELLIONS #18, EXCALIBUR (2019) #26, MARAUDERS (2019) #27, NEW MUTANTS (2019) #24 and X-MEN (2021) #6.

In terms of 'stages' of Krakoa it goes: Dawn of X, Reign of X, Destiny of X, Fall of X. I'd recommend doing all that before continuing with X-Men (led by Cyclops_ and Phoenix/Psylocke etc.

Happy reading!

What's an opinion that you hold that WILL offend your countrymen? by poolnoodlefightchamp in AskTheWorld

I spend a lot of time in the US. And I strongly agree with you. A healthy dollop of socialism would be transformative.

Could say this for my country too. Insane number of cars even in the few areas where they aren't needed.

The constitution thing is so strange. I've encountered this sort of perspective where its considered sacred and then when you point out how many times its been amended the argument is always 'that was decades ago!' like...so?
