  Dr. Doom wanted Minneapolis because he is a huge Prince fan

  You just know that Hugh Jackman was super disapointed they coudn't do Wa Wa Wolvereine

  Thank you for calling out his "What are you talking about?" trope. Every once in a while I decide to give Millar another chance, and then that pops up, often inappropriately, and all the wind goes out of my sails.

  Millar reuses the "every single supervillain teams up" plot a few times, too! To me it betrays something really shallow about his writing: as if every villain is the exact same brand of evil, so of course they're all fine with slaughtering all the heroes and brutally conquering the world together.

  I'm really glad that Logan chose to embrace optimism despite the darkness of the story

  I'm sorry. I just could not imagine Magneto working side by side with Red Skull.

  Clearly, Doctor Doom is a huge Minnesota Vikings fan.

  Slight correction on Red Son:<br><br>Superman lands in a Ukrainian farm, which is part of the Soviet Union but is not Russia.

  I more so wanna know WHY Doctor Doom wants any part of America at all. &nbsp;He&apos;s got Latveria already, it&apos;s not like he needs a part of America so he can rule over something...

  Millar had a hard-on for Super villains killing the heroes, since it was basically the same plot as Wanted.

  Ultron 8 is a former villan who is a better father than the real father. He is marvels picollo.

  Also, it wasn&apos;t just about numbers. &nbsp;The villains &apos;swapped&apos; heroes. &nbsp;The heroes were ambushed, near simultaneously, by enemies that they didn&apos;t know the skill set/MO of.
