- MAGNETO IS CUCHULAIN??
Michael Fassbender in 300 |
As Variety reminds us, "Cuchulain is the central
character in the Ulster Cycle, an epic series of Old Irish legends that date
from around the 8th century. Set in the northern part of Ireland, the saga
relates the story of the Ulaid tribe headed by King Conchobar, and particularly
its conflict with the rival Connachta tribe led by Queen Mebh. The most
prominent figure in the legends is Conchobar's nephew Cuchulain, who has
semi-divine ancestry and superhuman fighting skills. In the most famous story,
known as the Cattle Raid of Cooley, he is the only man capable of resisting the
vast army sent by Medb to steal Conchobar's prize white bull."
