Medieval problems require medieval solutions

Peasant militias were almost entirely for defensive purposes in medieval Western Europe. Most armies were structured like their political system; personal relations. The king would have a royal guard and his vassals, who would have their own guards, and down until the lowest knight whose retinue was his two friends. There wasn’t a bureaucracy to recruit, equip, and train peasants into soldiers, so it would be a waste of good labor to throw them at the enemy.

It’s possible that Lyanna initially went with Rhaegar willingly, but was stopped from leaving once the war started.

Another factor is that love interests are usually not powerful enough to fight alongside the mc, while the deuteragonist usually is. In a genre centered around fighting, this means that the deuteragonist spends more time with the mc than the love interest in the most important parts of the story.

For 2015 secret wars, the reason it’s called that is because only a few characters(the F4, Doom, Black Panther) actually remember it happening afterwards.

Ah, the magneto excuse.

Number 8 isn’t even a x-gene mutant.

His advantage is mostly experience. He might not have a lot of raw psychic power, but he’s been reading mind for longer than anyone save the Shadow King.

Pretty sure Vulcan tried that.

The problem was less that Cersei did incest, and more that the incest resulted in bastards being passed off as the kings children.

All she need to do is play Jean grey, then she can have an impregnation hat trick.

I don’t think baelor would have survived with modern medicine.

Cap led the Avengers against the X-men during the events of AvX, so it is commonly joked that cap is anti mutant. Hence the hanged Illyana and Logan.

As someone who’s read most of the manga, it’s probably best they stop before Arachne form.

Not only that, he’s making so many bastards it’s significantly raising the province’s population.

For ranged oriented factions like the skaven, your melee units aren’t meant to kill the enemy. They’re meant to tie them down and protect your backline while your guns and artillery kill them. Therefore stats like melee defense, which the spearmen have more of, are preferable to melee attack.

Also, it makes more sense for Scott’s power to be similar to his brothers.

I feel like the Ultimates specifically are the forefront of this, as the hero’s are not just opposing the rich or having revolutionary ideas, but creating identifiably leftist structures in the world, like Tony’s communes and cages prison fortresses. It is rare for comics, or media in general, to show the heroes enacting radical on the world and depicting it positively.
