Because of great power, must have noble purpose
How do you live if you start off with the strongest power that other people crave, but you're still not satisfied?
Of course, it is to cut off all obstacles, people stop killing people, Buddhas stop killing Buddhas, and transform the world into where it belongs.
if not?
Is it not to change the world, but to change yourself, who has the power out of place in the world? This is exactly the answer of the dragon trick: what can be attributed to consciousness, let it be suppressed, and what cannot be attributed to consciousness... just let it be violent.
A world where superpowers exist, but also a world of juveniles. Although there are villains, there are no irreparable sacrifices, and of course, there are no laws or states that undermine the fundamental existence of the story. The youth's strength, the youth's self-awareness, and the youth's growth constitute the whole of the world. The dragon set has top-level power, but it cannot be manipulated freely. Only when he loses consciousness can the power be fully exerted. For others, superpowers bring greater freedom. Ruyue sighed after beating up a group of gangsters: "This kind of freedom is very powerful, I am more free than you, why, because of the loss of restrictions." Because of superpowers, Lil is qualified to rebel against his image of the perfect student and fraternal brother, a boundary that superpowers expand for him.
But for Long Tao, the superpower brings the loss of freedom. As Linghua said, the dragon is timid and afraid of confrontation, so strength is a burden to him; the dragon is kind, and believes that people with power must take responsibility, so the strength prevents him from listening to his heart; in the conversation with his younger brother , Longtao admits that he has desires, but thinks that superpowers are powerless, and superpowers are not necessary for survival - what he wants is "muscles, women's hearts and ways to see the atmosphere, and wisdom or something" - Strength never got him what he wanted, but it backfired.
The best solution, isn't it a different ideal? As the head of the branch said when he was beating Linghuan, "You are not an excellent superpower because you have no desire to dominate. I am different from you." Contrary to the trick, almost all superpowers have superpowers after they have superpowers. To become an extrovert means to exert power on the outside world and use the changes of the outside world to prove your own strength. Xiao Dimple has complained about the tricks, obviously he has super powers and can see the bigger world, but the tricks don't do that. Because of this, the relationship between superpowers and the world is that the world adapts to itself, and the world that does not adapt to itself deserves to be destroyed by itself (or euphemistically called revolution). The old face of the branch head turned into the face of a fat and greasy baby when he spoke his heart: "I should be treated specially by this world, and this world is suitable for me."
Linghuan said that the superpowers of the seventh branch are all naive ghosts, because they obviously do not understand the world but want to conquer the world, but they do not understand that they are still human. What he said about having superpowers and being one level higher than humans is not lower than humans, perhaps implying that because superpowers still have emotions and desires, they are still born and raised in a social relationship that is no different from everyone else. In this relationship, the mother sees the son bend the spoon with his superpower, and does not panic or ask for help, but only complains that he has soiled the table; the school was damaged by bombing, and it only appeared in the social news as a strange story ; The gangsters will only sigh that they are strong when they see the super power arena, and their memory does not exceed three seconds after being beaten. Therefore, the world in the animation is really an extrajudicial paradise, and the cost of becoming a god is really low-Huazawa and Xiao Dimple have clearly stated that their ultimate goal is to become a god.
This is like a Machiavelli's inverse proposition. It is no longer for noble purposes, and one can do whatever it takes, but because of the highest means, one must come up with noble purposes. But why become a god? Are their lives not comfortable enough now? Hua Ze can do whatever he wants in school, and he can defeat the master of the claw in the junior high school age; the small dimple is also one of the best in the spirit, even if it was weakened twice, he still became the Gu king in the Hundred Gu battle. Maybe it's because they don't know or believe that there is a stronger existence than themselves. Just like the confident flag of the branch leader before the battle: You are very strong, I am afraid you have never met someone stronger than yourself. Due to the scarcity of powerful power and the lack of a dimension of comparison, the misunderstanding of one's own power is the fundamental reason for the illusion of superpowers. On the contrary, Lu, who has a clear understanding of his brother's power, does not want to become a god because he has seen real miracles.
emotional balance
The Body Transformation Department, Linghuan Xinlong and his younger brother are the three dimensions on which the Dragon Set personality is maintained. To be more specific, phantom is the balance between the extremes of "winning friendship and living hard without superpowers at all" and "doing anything for the sake of my brother even if superpowers run wild". The body transformation department is by no means dispensable. They have pinned their ideals on "a good life for normal people", and their silly but upright images throughout the film are also drawn for this moment. When Hua Ze asked Longtao who he should choose as a companion in order to rescue Ritsu, Longtao also thought of the Body Transformation Department.
There are four times in the play, the first time is anger, the second time is sadness, the third time is hostility, and the fourth time is killing intent. The first two times were introverted, because I was angry that I didn’t see the atmosphere and could only be an unpopular person; I was sad that I lost control in the end, went against my original intention, and nothing changed. The last two are for my brother.
The younger brother can make Long Tao forget the rule of not using super powers on people, and can make Long Tao dare to fight against people. Although Ritsu said words in the narrow alley to end the "close brother appearance" after gaining super powers, Ryutao immediately said these words as both a lie and the truth.
Lil's fear of the tricks is real. He knows that his brother with superpowers is incomprehensible to him. Therefore, although he often says to his brother, "Tell me if you have troubles", he never really gets his brother's talk; His concern actually caused the unspeakable dragon to suffer a deeper setback, and he could only further suppress his emotions in the surface peace created by his younger brother.
However, Li's feelings for the dragon set are more powerful and profound. Growing up, Ritsu was very eager to acquire superpowers in his heart, but it was not jealousy, but unwillingness, "I am the younger brother of a superpower, why can't I." The sigh was, "I'm really unwilling to lose to someone other than my brother." Lil complained to the dragon set, "It's impossible for brothers to fight, because I can't protect myself in front of my brother's power." Before fighting with Jiang, Jiang asked why he knew he couldn't fight but his head was broken. Ritsu replied, "Who knows, maybe it's because he knows someone better than you." If you don't play the role of a close brother again, it's not only a kind of coquetry, but also a kind of adult declaration. At this point, because of his super powers, he can truly understand his brother, and their brotherly relationship no longer stops at blood, but moves towards true sympathy.
So what about ghosts? This funny character who appeared in the first few episodes as a fraudster and squeezed child labor, why did he finally lead the dragon to successfully break through and liberate from the shackles of "powerful people must be responsible"? Linghuan is incompetent except for the removal of spirits, whether it is massage, porcelain touch, PS, disguise, all of which are not a problem. But why did he choose to kill the spirits for a living? Because he can't see the spirit, he must be a liar. But in the film, he solved almost all the clients' troubles, and many of them were not actually related to spirits. Perhaps it was because of this realization that he felt that he was also capable of being a spirit remover. Linghuan was written as selfish in his interactions with Long Tao, but his essence can be said to be extremely altruistic. An intruder who broke into the inside of the claw, in the face of the outflank of the power user, actually let the fish run away first; in the close confrontation, he kicked the boss with his flesh. In the fight for life in the last two episodes, Linghuan still insisted that everyone stop and let himself handle the dispute.
Linghuan is a deceiver, but he believes in reason and morality. He believes that problems can be solved by reasoning - but superpowers are children who have not grown up, so they fail; he believes that relying on common sense can awaken moral self-discipline - but superpowers live in dreams and do not know reality. Linghuan, who gets along with Long Tao day and night, should be one of the people who has seen superpowers the most, but he can't afford superpowers at all," he was angry with middle school students and attacked", "bullying children", "and those with knives in their hands." Dangerous as a kid." Because of this, he is the one who understands the dragon set the most, because he doesn't think that the dragon set has all the power like other people do. When asked how to learn to look at the atmosphere, he bluntly said that you can't learn such a complex skill. Although it is a blow, it is also the truth. In the final bloodbath, when the companions were urging Longtao to participate in the battle, Linghuan shouted, "You don't need to face them, just run away!" Just before Longtao was about to run away with murderous intent, A slap slapped him to wake him up, "This will only make you more painful. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter if you run away!"
A few years ago, he was still a primary school student and came to complain to Linghuan. Linghuan thought he was a middle-aged child, but still welcomed him into the room and told him that he was still a human being and that superpowers were just a feature. To be a good person, and the charm lies in the human touch. Finally he told the child that he would teach him how to use power.
What he taught the dragon is that you can't have power without power.
He has given the possibility of freedom again to those who lost their freedom because of their power.
Fighting Man's Anti-Routine
In the world of ONE, the power of the protagonist is unquestionably the highest, and the first one that cannot be challenged. The suspense is not whether the protagonist can win (it will win anyway), but how the story is told. Naturally, "Psionics" did not deviate from its own type to create a new narrative mode. In many aspects, we can still see the influence of the predecessors' paradigm, and there is even no lack of ONE's active tribute-for example, the name of the school named after the seasoning makes people feel Think of Akira Toriyama, who loves food names. (Is the illusory gag and force not good enough to take care of the turtle fairy? Is Hanazawa similar to Piccolo? Is it possible for Ritsu to become Gohan and show stronger abilities? Will he become Vegeta in the future?)
Taking the 12 episodes after animation as an example, ONE basically gave up the usual daily funny bridges in the "mutant student" genre or simply created a "healing sense" for the purpose of branch plots. The characters of the main characters or the introduction of important plot characters; the paving of the claw is also a light weight, trying to make a fuss about the self-understanding of "superpowers/mortals", and the description of skills and organizational strength will never be overwhelming, and the climax of three episodes can be perfect at the end. The character Zhonglongtao bears all the contradictions and conflicts.
The ghost-removal of the ghostly gag is the essence of the whole film, and his unexpected behavior is the most surprising and hilarious element of the joke in the tense battle and the depressing environment. In the first half, the audience is always expecting to make a fool of himself and be exposed to the essence of fraud, but he is always eloquent. In the last two episodes, Linghuan is devastating, completely reversing the previously unreliable image. He used the halo of "I'm a boss" fraudster to enter the headquarters openly and openly under the embrace of the miscellaneous fish, and interrupted the battle narrative with joking means such as flying kicks and hypnosis in the battle of the power users. The story of "I feel lonely with a lunch box" made Yingwei unforgivable, and publicly executed the power user who decorated his forehead and shoulders.
The "interference" of Linghuan on the battle is a manifestation of ONE's deliberate rewriting, delay and reversal of the battle node of "the dragon set will definitely break out". Throughout the film, the logical outburst of the dragon set only occurs in the third episode - but the small dimple that should have been eliminated appears as a mascot in the next episode. In the battle with Hua Ze, the dragon who refused to use superpowers on people was constantly pressed, but in the end he ran away because of lack of physical strength, and the way of executing Hua Ze was full of sad poetry, not boiling war. . In the first battle with Kuashan, the dragon set was not easy, and he didn't even defeat Kuashan in a 100% state, and even fainted because of the spray, so that such a fierce climax ended in his defeat. In the second battle with Kuashan, the audience thought that they would see the shameful battle of Long Tao, but Long Tao ended the battle in only three seconds, which did not meet the audience's expectations at all. In the assault of Long Tao to kill ten people in one step, it seemed that he could hit Huanglong directly in the next moment, but a power user who could use illusion made him fall. It's an excellent use of the super power theme. If it is another ability to defeat the dragon set, then it will inevitably damage the audience's expectations of the dragon set's combat effectiveness. In the end, full of thinking that there is no way to retreat, after the step by step of his companions, he must fight back, but he was awakened by Linghuan's slap. After a brief surprise, Linghuan was hit by a knife. So the phantom sacrifice must have evoked the strongest fighting spirit and dedicated the most exciting battle, right? No, it's actually a phantom strategist, playing with the enemy in the palm of his hand.
It seems that I didn't see too many fights and victories of the protagonists, but I got more joy than watching the fights and victories of the protagonists.
dominance and innateism
Linghuan said when beating the cadres: You conquer the world by domination, and no one will follow you at all. Indeed, with the three-inch incorrupt tongue, Linghuan easily re-brainwashed the bottom of the claw. Although Linghuan is a deceiver, he is a believer of morality and rationality. Whether he is teaching tricks or beating fish, he uses common sense. "Having superpowers is a characteristic like not being able to run fast." "Do what is ethical and get ahead so you can be proud of yourself." "You are sinning."
If it is naive to say that suffering because of the incompatibility of strength with one's own character is naive, then it is illusory innocence to believe that everyone has morality and thus can be persuaded. Contrasted with the Angelic Body Transformation Department is the Brainwave Department - a minister who believes in aliens, a group of members who just want to pass the time after school. Will they not be easily dominated by their obedience to the student union and their complete abandonment of themselves? The physical strength pie corresponding to the brain computer, the gangster with a lot of vinegar, soy sauce, mayonnaise, and so on, was beaten all over by the law, but when he apologized, he immediately put his failures behind him, and taught him a serious lesson. , "Only the strong can give orders. The strongest can press the field." There are also the followers of the Xiaojiao, after defeating the small dimples and releasing their mental control, they began to look for the stronger boy. to be their leader. They are the premise of the claw's existence, they worship power, they fantasize about miracles, and for this they are fit to be enslaved.
A more straightforward description is probably inside the claw, a group of miscellaneous fish who failed to awaken but still worked for the claw. In the face of natural superpower children who were caught in, they were jealous but arrogant, because they knew that they had power - both as a jailer and an adult - but also knew that this power was temporary, and the brainwashed child would become a personal soldier, And he is always a trash fish. When Lu and the others rescued Fangtangtou, they had been the source of trash fish for 20 years and prevented their companions from chasing the child, because the gap between mortals and superhumans could not be bridged. But they quickly turned their inferiority into joy, believing that after the claw conquered the world, as a trash fish, they could still get a piece of the pie. That is to say, although the world has such inequalities as superhumans and mortals, among mortals, some mortals can be "more equal" than others.
Inequality not only exists between superpowers and mortals, superpowers are also divided into three, six and nine. The bottom layer is the "army" that has "awakened" superpowers by external means, but its superpowers are almost juggling; the slightly upper layer is the contemporaries of Liliu from the Fuerdai Institute. Although they are better than the motley army, they are still Does not have the ability to fight alone; the middle-level is the talent of the law is acceptable, but the awakening time is too short, the experience is too short, and the fighting skills are not good "blue chip", can kill mortals in seconds, but can't fight back against those with stronger superpowers; The upper level, including Hua Ze and various cadres, has developed specific abilities and matching combat skills, but cannot kill non-primary power users in seconds, and small dimples also belong to this level; the top level is in this film There are only two dragon sets and generals, and there is no need for fancy ability names or skills to kill everything in seconds. However, the general's attention is too small, and he is both a prince and a brain-driving party (or his superpower is a brain supplement? Similar to Archer?), it is difficult to assess his true superpower strength.
When he saw the blood-stained laboratory, Xiao Dimple sighed, "After such a painful awakening experiment, a group of people can't do anything. This is indeed a world of innate talents." In the level of power users, the upper level It is possible to crush the next level with no effort at all. This gap cannot be made up by quantity and effort at all. This is the theory of innate talent in full sense, and it is also the greatest source of pleasure in combat. The theory of talent is often the natural enemy of the sense of substitution (in order to create the greatest sense of substitution, the online article must be designed as a counter-attack route, and compared to highlighting the protagonist's talent, it must also spend more effort to write about his adventures and slaps in the face), But it targets another, more intense emotional resonance: the cult of the strong. After realizing that the protagonist is omnipotent, and the protagonist is indisputable, the viewer is greatly relieved because he is no longer worried about whether the protagonist can win or not, and gets a sense of honor and pleasure. Naturally, the sense of substitution will still play its role here. The optimism bias makes us believe that we are Goku, although it is more likely that we are Kelin, or even Yamucha, because it was Bulma's ex-boyfriend who was reluctantly resurrected opportunity.
This animal farm-like metaphor between mortals and superpowers, superpowers and superpowers sighs faintly. People who think that superpowers can conquer the world are middle two, but think that the world will not be conquered by superpowers. Isn't the person who is more profound in the second?
The tricks that aim to live a good life, and the illusion that everyone has morality and rationality, they are even crazier dreamers. They are not enslaved and dominated, yet they are so alone.
