Why don't we do it again

"X-Men: Reversing the Future" is regarded as an important work connecting the main story and the prequel. Why is it placed in such a critical position? Seeing the end, I believe everyone will suddenly realize that the full screen is full of joy for the resurrection of all members. It's no different from a classic movie line: X-Men, why don't we do it all over again. This kind of ending makes the movie look like a spring and autumn dream. The confused old wolf looks blank from time to time, not knowing whether he is a guest in the dream, like being forcibly possessed by Xiao Lizi. Moreover, due to the existence of "designer" Alan Page, "X-Men: Reversing the Future" has a strong sense of inception from beginning to end. As for the parallel timeline, it actually seems a bit simple for Chinese audiences who have experienced the baptism of many Hollywood movies. Personally, I don’t really love the theme of superheroes on the assembly line. Not only can this group of guys die, but most of them are the story flow of "being abused and then abused by opponents, being abused and then abused by everyone". The favor of the X-Men is more from the young, British-style "First Battle." Once those cool graphic characters have joined the special growth experience, their inner choices seem to have been concretely deepened. Therefore, to me personally, "X-Men: Reversing the Future" is more like going back to the prequel to change the future and restart the series. There are rumors circulating on the Internet. When the director went back to find Patrick Stewart (Old Professor X) and Ian McLean (Old Magneto), the two old friends were shocked because they felt that "X-Men" no longer had theirs. That's it, all the limelight benefits should have been young people-James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. It is not difficult to see that, compared to the tragic battle of the future world (actually an annihilation war that was crushed and ravaged), the main story of "X-Men: Reversing the Future" is still closely followed by "First War", but because of Wolverine Assuming the identity of Pirates, the spark of the movie has become an interaction between different members, rather than Professor X and Magneto in the paint-like stage. The relationship between these characters includes Wolverine and the young Professor X, the young Professor X and the old Professor X, the young Professor X, Magneto and the Mysterious Girl... Especially with the young Professor X, an article not only explains why he chose a wheelchair In life, in the face of the phrase "I will never enter your brain again", it is estimated that X fans will have fun. Although his painstaking plan for security did not return Magneto (this is the core theme of the X-Men), nor did he bring back the mysterious girl, his patience won the future... For Magneto, even if he chooses Confronting humans, but when he learns that the future end is dead, he has to stand on the side of the X-Men (even if Still going its own way and not obeying the command). However, if the audience is not familiar with the X-Men's main story and Wolverine's story, seeing the strange reaction of Wolverine to William Stryker (the agent next to the little devil), I am afraid it is still difficult to know the mystery. They can't even experience the strange and expressive complex emotions when Wolverine sees the Phoenix girl and the laser eye. Of course, this is not made up. It is a typical unforgettable experience to have a friend leave midway because they can't understand it. As for why Wolverine was selected as the first candidate for time travel, the film said that because he has an immortal body, he can withstand the explosive tearing of the brain. But there is another interesting reason. After Wolverine was transformed, he has always lost his memory. During the time travel, he not only retrieved his memories, but also completely connected the past and the future. The moment when the whole series was really restarted was not the mysterious woman putting down the gun, but the consciousness of Wolverine Underwater returning to the future. As a popcorn blockbuster, "X-Men: Reverse the Future" has a big problem. There is no real big boss in the movie. Trask, played by the little devil Peter D, is actually a scumbag and belongs to the mysterious girl. Kill if you want. In the future world, there are not only a large number of locust-like sentinels, but also their combat effectiveness. Each of the X-Men possesses unique skills and is helpless one by one. Such a setting is actually not as good as La Roki's backing in "The Avengers". Who wants to see the tragic deaths and crosses of the square characters, you must know that all the characters in the reunion can't die. Fortunately, we may be able to think this way, even if it’s not very good to watch, this movie is just to fix the worldview loopholes that appeared in "X-Men" and pave the way for the future. The most important thing is that after this reversal of the future, the movie giants can erase all the main story and the outside story. On the timeline, "X-Men: Reversing the Future" moved from the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 in the era of "First War" to the dialogue with Nixon in 1973, and the assassination of Kennedy that led to Magneto’s imprisonment took place in 1963. Actually , Due to the interaction with the contemporary world history, this is also one of the reasons why I am optimistic about "X-Men". As for the egg in "Apocalypse", it is conceivable that the new world of "X-Men" will become unprecedentedly huge. Perhaps it will care about the fate of human beings instead of just fighting and killing in a pure sense.
