Powers make people bad, superpowers make people super bad

One of the great advantages of the holiday is that there is a lot of time, which can be used to eat and wait for death, chat and spank, and naturally, you can also make movies to celebrate the New Year.

There are quite a few movies I've watched recently, but I haven't wanted to write anything about it. There are two reasons: either the jewels are first, or the lack thereof. But today I watched "Super Villain" and was quite moved.

The movie tells the story of a hero and a villain. The hero has won many battles, but he feels that his heroic life is boring, so he deliberately cheats his death to pursue the peaceful life he wants. The villain without his opponent is very boring. The ability gun endows a civilian with superpowers. In the villain's plan, this civilian should take on the mission of a hero and become the new patron saint. It's a pity that the people's consciousness is not enough, not only did not eliminate the violence and An Liang, but resigned. The villain really couldn't stand the misbehavior of the civilian hero and finally fought him. The ending of the story was naturally a happy one - the mob hero entered the classroom, the villain became a new hero, and the villain disappeared in the city.

The beauty of this movie is that neither the hero nor the villain is a native species on earth. When the former is tired of the heroic years of "every thousand people write poems for me", the latter turns from black to white, abandoning evil to good, and transforming into a gorgeous For the new era icon. It is quite interesting that the ordinary earthling who later became a mob hero not only possessed super powers but also received a long education and brainwashing course on "how to be a hero". Unfortunately, it has been proved that power can make people bad, super powers. Ability makes people super bad - and ideological and political education can't change that.

Fortunately, people with superpowers are eventually defeated by superhumans, which may educate us that power often comes from the depths of the soul.

I think this movie should sell well at the box office, because everyone desperately wants to have superhumans in their lives - even in movie theaters, of course, the other point is equally important - after all, everyone is just ordinary people without superpowers.
