We got the ending, but we are not so happy

I like Marvel movies very much. The heroes who are very angry are very cute. They are usually used by me to pass the time after dinner, but this movie is very different.

We like x-man because they have amazing skills. Generally, these movies describe their heyday. But this film carefully shows us their last, weakened period, as if it has narrowed the distance between fantasy and reality. Every time we finish watching one, we look forward to it. What kind of plot will the next one look like? What will their end be like? We will imagine that they will live happily together, a good old-age life and so on. This movie slapped us with a big slap. Don't you want to see the ending? Then I will show it to you. It’s no longer to show beautiful fantasy, but to completely open up the helplessness of life in front of us, as if telling us that heroes can’t be your heroes forever, don’t expect them to appear every day, you are ordinary but you only Can rely on oneself. Of course, the movie didn't eradicate the space of our fantasy, and didn't let them become like us ordinary people because of their disability. Even if they are unable to do so, they insist on assuming their own responsibility for "saving the world", even if this responsibility is imposed on them by us.

Even after reading it, I still don’t want to believe that Uncle Wolf will one day not be able to heal himself, and Professor X will have Alzheimer’s disease. I couldn’t even imagine what they would look like when they became weak, let alone being stepped on by others. I look down on it, but this is how it happened, naturally. I recalled their best time, once they had such a wonderful life, and finally turned into that state. This kind of strong contrast makes me feel bad. When people are old, the helplessness of these three words is that everyone will not understand and will understand after all. We cannot change, we can only endure. Time does a lot of things for us, and wears us out is the one thing it does the most. None of us has an endless future. We have always longed for an ending, so time gives us what we want.

What kind of experience is this feeling that the ability that I am most proud of has suddenly disappeared? I'm still a beginner in life. I don't know what the downhill road is like in my life, and I don't know how I will beg for mercy in my future life, but just like Teacher Xiaosong said:

Sooner or later, people will be defeated by life. When we have the ability, we must kick our lives. Because life will never spare you because you are timid and cowardly, doing nothing.
