This is the war between humans and other species

What is the attitude of human beings towards species that are not of our own group? Fear and hatred, use and suppression, human beings have always been stingy and cruel when it comes to sharing the living environment. This is especially true of mutants, excellent representatives of other species. From the transformation and utilization in 1, to the control and elimination in 2, and even the complete homogenization in 3, every conflict and war is caused by human desire for control and greed, and the peace the professor hopes for seems far away .

With the development of X series 123, although there is soy sauce in every episode, the characters of several key characters are also getting more and more full. A compassionate professor who tries to guide mutants to coexist with humans and actively hopes to bring about a peaceful situation. However, in 3, the professor's eternally sympathetic eyes also flashed a cruel light vaguely. In the face of Qin, whose ability is far superior to his own, the professor directly sealed her power, which indirectly caused her personality split between reason and instinct. For Wolverine's questioning, the professor evaded "I don't need to explain, at least not to you". In order to achieve his goals, Qin has been sacrificed since childhood.

As the leader of the villain, Magneto, it can be seen from the second part that he was once one of the victims. His childhood experiences made him have a paranoid change in his cognition of himself and others. The shapeshifter who was loyal to him and once faintly became the number two person by his side was ruthlessly abandoned by him after she lost her ability to block bullets for him. "It's a pity, she used to be so beautiful." The incapacitated shapeshifter became an ordinary person, a member of an opposing group, and gave up without hesitation. In the final battle, let those mutants rush in front of them without expression. Cold, selfish, provocative, and insufferable. Finally, Magneto became a former Nazi, and the victim became the perpetrator.

The reckless and rambunctious Wolverine seems to be a typical American hero - toned muscles, excellent fighting power, and always indomitable bravery. The invincible claws and unparalleled repair ability are also the source of all his tragedies. His wolf nature destined him to be a beast, but this beast was not murderous. Unlike his brother, Wolverine does not get pleasure in killing, on the contrary, killing innocents will make him sad and even painful. Kindness is always pressed at every step, and even if he retreats to the mountains to become a lumberjack, those who are greedy for his abilities are reluctant to let go. In the end, he lost his lover and lost his memory. What's even more tragic is that in the third part, in the face of Qin's ability to destroy the world, everything turned to powder in front of her anger. Only Logan, enduring the pain of being torn apart again and again, walked to his lover step by step with difficulty, just to kill her (not to mention injections, even buildings turn into powder in minutes, how can medicine come close, you I thought it was Wolverine's pants.) In his bones, Logan, like the professor, hopes for peace. For this belief, he left his brother who fought side by side since he was a child, gave up the opportunity to have greater rights, and even killed his beloved lover. In this respect, he deserves to be the protagonist of the entire series.

The third part ends abruptly. When announcing Uncle Maoqiu as the ambassador, the president looked very proud, and he was completely different from the murderous spirit who had declared war before. People had to sigh, politics, politics. The professor's resurrection is even more bizarre. Magneto's ability to recover is excusable (after all, there are reasons for metabolism, liver detoxification, etc.). The professor has turned into powder, why can he be resurrected? This is too disrespectful to the ability of the fire phoenix.
