Deconstruct heroes and restore humanity

To be honest, the character of Wolverine has always been an important but not a favorite character in the Marvel universe in my mind. Wolverine has focused on many conflicts and contradictions throughout his life. It is indeed full of drama among mutants and has a sense of existence. But Wolverine's independent films are really poorly made, and have never been in love with the grumpy and brutal image. The most amazing appearances were the roars when the transformation was just completed, the middle finger to the laser eye, and the saying go fuck yoursevles to the young professor and Magneto!

Unknowingly, the Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman has been dominating the big screen for seventeen years, and the curtain is suddenly closed in a blink of an eye. I never expected that the invincible and invulnerable Wolverine in my mind was overturned and became a flesh and blood body. The Wolverine who smoked and drank but I knew he was a superhero was reduced to an ordinary person-Logan.

He has mortal pain. Wolverine's self-healing function helped him to live for nearly two hundred years, but I realized that instant self-healing is not invulnerable, he hurts when he is injured, and every time the steel claw is stretched out. In the trailer, because the steel claws were stuck in rust and couldn't stretch out naturally, I had to pull out this shot. Logan's trembling expression made my liver hurt, but the evil Zongju deleted this shot.

He has mortal emotions. In the past stories, the emotional logic of Wolverine was the emotional logic of the heroic paradigm. In order to save everyone, killing one's favorite woman-the blackened phoenix by hand, can be said to be righteous and extinct. In Desperate Battle, the professor, Logan, and Laura completely displayed a three-generation ordinary family atmosphere. Logan's motive for fighting was to protect the old and the young. Logan lost control of his emotions after burying the professor. The scene tortured me so much. The once invincible Wolverine couldn't protect the most important person around him.

He has the reincarnation of mortals. Once upon a time, immortality became Wolverine’s fetters. I don’t think it feels good to send away loved ones around me one by one. Wolverine II discussed this topic. But when we really have to face aging and death, that kind of heroic powerlessness is still very embarrassing. Fortunately, in the end, the children representing Hope were rescued. Logan used his last strength to protect Laura, experienced death, and completed the reincarnation. In the end, Laura placed the cross on Logan's solitary grave as an X, and this X watched the children run to the future and freedom.

Even more distressing is Professor X. He was once the most powerful brain in the world, but because of Alzheimer's disease, he often got out of control and hurt ordinary people around him. Professor X lay on the sick bed and said that he did not deserve to have such a beautiful night, and I want to say that after death there was only a handful of loess, no students, no friends, no relatives to see off, not even X on the grave after Wolverine’s death , This world does not deserve to have Professor X.

In this way, Wolverine closed its curtain in a repressive and tragic atmosphere, but the fans were immersed in sadness and couldn't help themselves. The only consolation is that seventeen years later, Mr. Hugh Jackman, the old artist of Deyi Shuangxin, can finally release himself to eat sweets. At this time, if you want to slow down, you have to buy another movie ticket and walk into the next hall and burst into laughter for a hundred minutes. That's right, next door is another superhero movie Lego Batman.
