The plot is very exciting, a painter who can draw the future, a clue that affects everyone, the battle between justice and evil, it seems that the former has the upper hand, but the ending leaves a foreshadowing for the recovery of darkness. Heroism, terrorists, nuclear bombings, political intrigues, cooperation between power and money, and the supremacy of national security beyond civil liberties is a typical portrayal of contemporary America, not a distant future.
Americans always like to use film and television and other means to express their superpowers to save their world and realize their national fantasy. Recalling that when I was young, I also dreamed of having some supernatural powers, and I believe that many of my peers have had similar experiences. Our imagination often comes from the martial arts complex of Chinese civilization, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and upholding justice, which is similar to the heroes on the other side of the ocean.
However, looking back on this source, my younger self originally only hoped that I could rely on this ability to improve the surrounding environment, make things simpler, make people happier, or be selfish and give myself a little favor.
The difficulty of life makes us fantasize about having the ability to transcend this society, and our own desires make us yearn for the infinite expansion of this ability. This is the root of fear, not superpower.
When a group of "heroes" with such unimaginable abilities set out to destroy or save the world, their desire terrifies me. When Americans promote their democracy everywhere, they encounter hostility and resistance. Maybe they are sincere, but the other side may not appreciate it. What superpowers bring to the world is often more pain.
If you have the power, what's the first thing you wanna do?
