This time, I choose not to go back

If you compare X-Men: Days of Future Past with Wolverine 3, you can quickly get a huge sense of heartbreak. The living will die, the gathering will disperse, the accumulating will be exhausted, the standing will fall, the tall will fall, the impermanence in the universe, it turns out that even superheroes cannot escape.

In "Reversing the Future", Uncle Wolf travels back to 1973, and rewrites the tragic fate of mutants by persistently doing ideological and political work for Professor X and Magneto. Good friends who love each other and kill each other shake hands and make peace, X-men gather together, everyone's face is full of smiles

At that moment, I really believed that fate can be changed. In so many parallel universes, there will always be a time and space where heroes are never lost and justice is never absent.

But in three years, this dose of chicken blood was smashed to pieces by "Wolverine 3".

Both Professor X and Wolverine thought that they had chosen a different fork in the road to reach Consummation, but it turned out that they just kept returning to the source of pain.

Life is already so cruel, the hateful movie will expose them one by one. The twilight wolf looked for his hometown, and the ending was so lonely.

In 2029, because of Professor X's loss of control, X-men are almost dead. Two orphans and widows live together with an albino named Caliban.

Uncle Wolf has gray hair and unshaven beard, and he never trimmed it carefully. There is no other way of making a living, but it is reduced to driving an Uber. His superpowers have almost disappeared. Edman's claws were rusted, he was out of breath after running a few steps, and a few thugs could beat him to the ground. His ability to heal was deteriorating, and his body was covered in scars.

What was even more unacceptable was that when he faced Gabriela's request for help, he decisively refused. His wish was no longer world peace, he just wanted to make money and save a big yacht to take Professor X through the rest of his life.

When life reaches its twilight years, it is probably like this bird. As Mu Xin said, losing a bowl in childhood was painful, but in adulthood, things and people that are a hundred times more precious than a bowl have all been thrown away one by one, and some were even broken.

What should be lost is lost, what else is there to say?

In childhood, Wolverine's biological father killed his adoptive father, and he himself killed his biological father by mistake, and began a desperate career.

The elder brother Saber-toothed tiger is the person who is most similar to him, but he never understands him, and the two brothers fight whenever they disagree. It was not easy to reconcile, but as a result, my brother went missing again.

Because of the first lover Keira, Logan got the name "Wolverine", and Keira told him the legend of Wolverine: Wolverine fell in love with the goddess of the moon, but was deceived by the elves and fell into the mortal world, never again. Can't go back. So every night Wolverine wailed at the moon, calling out his lover's name, and the answer to him was always the silence of the night.

As a result, the name became the curse of Wolverine's life. Kayla deceived him, and Wolverine was headshot by Colonel Stryker with an X-alloy bullet.

Since then, the memory of love has disappeared. Walking past Keira's body, Wolverine's eyes were as calm as a leaf falling.

Wolverine fell in love with the Phoenix Nvqin again, and the pair became even more abusive. When he liked Qin, Qin liked Cyclops. After Qin killed Cyclops with the wrong hand, Wolverine was finally able to turn right. As a result, there was a bug in Qin's sky-defying superpower, and Wolverine had to kill her by himself.

Although Wolverine went to 1973 to successfully change time and space to reverse the future, Jyn died and came back to life. As a result, what she fell in love with was still Cyclops, and Wolverine still only watched his lover into the arms of others.

In the end, all his comrades were dead, and Caliban and Professor X also left before him.

Compared with the flamboyant stunts of other superheroes, Wolverine is as simple as a Texas hillbilly, except that one uses a gun and the other uses claws. His only talent is that the body heals automatically, but it cannot stop the pain.

Normal people suffer beyond the limit, and there is at least one way to end it, and that is death. But Wolverine won't die. The scars on the body can be gradually repaired through self, but what about the heart that has already been riddled with holes? The sense of remorse that went wild and out of control when he went wrong in his life was tormenting him all the time.

The song "Hurt" was used in the trailer for "Wolverine 3" (who called the director who directed "Walking With the Song", so love Johnny Cash) It is so suitable for Wolverine or those who feel alive in pain like him people. For them, pain is a gift that entrusts them with strength and special talents, but on the other hand, pain afflicts their hearts all the time.

Until Wolverine met X-23, the little girl with his genes, the same eyes, the same cute meow claws. When Uncle Wolf and the little girl were racing on the vast desert highway, it was like a rough western movie. There is no other way, is to kill a bloody way.

I have to say that it is really a pity that the fighting scene in the forest was deleted. That is the dignity that Wolverine fully maintains, and it is also a reflection of the glorious past.

The medicine was over, and his life was overdrawn. When Logan lay in X-23's arms, he seemed to have found his way home. He calmly said to X-23, "So death is what it feels like." .

Recalling "Wolverine 1", his girlfriend Keira smiled and said to him, "You are not a beast, Logan, that is just the talent you have, Logan said disdainfully, can I give it back?"

Now, Logan finally returned it.

X-23 buried Uncle Wolf on the shore of a lake on the border between the United States and Canada. This may be his most desired home.

A long, long time ago, Uncle Wolf and Kayla lived a peaceful life for several years in the Rocky Mountains of Canada. That was the moment he was closest to a normal person, and the moment he was happiest.

Throughout his life, his battered body was finally healed by dust.

When he got up and walked away, X23 placed the cross on the grave diagonally into an "X", which is the epitaph of the last X-men and a new hope that broke out of the ground.

If we know that the future is full of pain and invincibility, should we still fight? The life of Wolverine gave the answer, a tearful answer.

"So we kept on pushing forward, sailing against the current, being pushed back and forth until we were back in the old days." - "The Great Gatsby"
