In the X-Men, there is the ability to "modify reality Reality Warping". How to understand it? For example: in the lunatic asylum incident in the first episode, Syd lost control of his ability while inside David, and all patients were enclosed in a room without a door. This is not an ability that can be achieved. First, the door must be destroyed and it can be used. The fire can also move instantaneously. After it is destroyed, you need to analyze the information of the wall, then copy and extend the wall to fill the previous door, and then you need to teleport everyone back to your own ward. So this "one change" actually uses at least three superpowers, and this kind of multi-power display is regarded as "modifying reality Reality Warping"
And David's "Reality Warping" is of Cosmic's "universe grade", which is far better than Omega grades such as Qin and Apocalypse. David has thousands of abilities, so what is the concept? Simply put, David is an omniscient and omnipotent god. Because the strength of the superposition ability is not 1+1, but the square of 2, the third power of 2, and the fourth power of 2... A thousand kinds of abilities mean that he can even create non-existent matter, which is even more exaggerated. Create more superpowers. In this way, the scope and energy of David's abilities are Cosmic-level, which means that he can teleport the entire 2017 Australia to 1690 China, and he can even create a whole in the blink of an eye. galaxy. David said that if there is no sound in the universe, there will be no sound in the universe. In the comics, Legion created a world on a whim, and then brought all mutants to live in that world after modifying their memories. But not every personality of David has a comprehensive understanding of his own abilities, so according to the dominant personality, he is strong and sometimes weak.
Our "reality" to David is actually equal to his "imagination" to a certain extent, because he can "realize" all his "imagination", as if the world is a book to him, rewrite it or start The new chapter is determined by his will. The state of life under this ability is similar to the limit state of "self-deception" mentioned by Jean Paul Sartre in his existentialism. In other words, there will be no "surprise" in his world, because all new things are the result of his brain rehearsal.
To truly understand David’s ability, we must understand what “reality” is. The reality we understand daily is not actually the physical world, but a collection of everyone’s subjective concepts. Gestalt theory points out that when you open a room Er door, you see a book with a red cover on the table, but for a child in 2044 (a world where paper books have long ceased to exist), he opened the door and saw a book on the table. The red patterned cuboid". In other words, although we do not have superpowers, our understanding of the material world is changed to a certain extent with our free will. The difference is that for David, who can "modify reality", reality is not only subjective. Changes will also make changes on the material level. Syd has an episode asking Xiao Hei,'Are we reality? ', um··· are all decided by David. If it's a man, but suddenly one day David decides that Benny is a woman, then he can go back in time and turn Benny into a woman, or he can modify the memories of everyone in the world now (this is what his father can do). That is to say, David can not only change the material world, but also our understanding of the material world, so it is really scary. It is worth mentioning that many of the personalities of Legion in the comics have each materialized into the real world to cause chaos, and in fact, every personality in David's brain is fighting and arguing every day, destroying each other, and creating each other...
I'm confused when I see this TV series, but it doesn't really matter to think about it, because the protagonist is David. From David's perspective, there is no reality, and even "our reality" does not exist. I hope David will never realize his strength, because when he discovers that he can modify the reality, he will be like living in a dream that can never wake up. That is eternal pain. This may be why God created human beings. Give people free will...Because of free will, people can never defeat God, but they dare to rebel against God. Only then is Prometheus stealing fire, and only then has Marsiah provoked Apollo. Is God angry in the face of the ridiculous provocation of mankind? God should be snickering, because it is not human beings who liberated by free will, but God is the yoke that God gives to himself.
