Hey, remember Cu Chulainn?
(five thousand comments complaining about my pronunciation rain from the heavens)
You DO! I'm so glad! Anyway, Fionn isn't DIRECTLY related to him, but the exploits of Fionn Mac Cumhaill make up the Fenian cycle of Irish mythology, while our buddy Cu's make up the Ulster Cycle. Two badasses, both alike in dignity, etc etc. And while there's significantly less mass murder and anime-levels of over-the-top combat, the Fenian cycle gives us romance, bromance, action, and the best kind of ending - a total LACK of an ending!
