A total of 5 X-Men (excluding two Wolverines, I personally think it is not as good as the series, and has little to do with the main line). The first step: X-Men PK fraternity; the second part: mutants PK human + mutants; the third part: X-Men PK fraternity; the first stop: mutants (young friends) PK anti-human mutants ; Reversing the future: mutants PK NB robot + butterfly effect; next step: the story is reopened and transferred to a parallel world.
Looking at several X-Men, it is very logical, and many things are explained one by one and connected with the previous plot. In my opinion, Magneto and Professor X are actually two different factions within the same political system. Its purpose is for the future of mutants. Magneto is a representative of the hawks who will do anything for the future of the mutants; Professor X is a representative of the doves who wants to solve the problem by peaceful means.
There are two battles against humans for mutants, at which point the two factions begin to unite. In the eyes of humans, mutants are a threat that threatens the very existence of human beings. Unchecked power becomes totalitarian. Unchecked capabilities also pose a threat. Just imagine, if we gain superpowers, can we always suppress our urge to do bad things? (Don't underestimate the selfish instinct of human beings) Besides, there are a lot of mutants. Therefore, according to the law of the dark forest in "Three-Body Problem", human beings must adopt a hostile attitude towards mutants, otherwise it may lead to extinction. Although there are a lot of mutants, compared to humans, the number is really pitiful. So the background in the X-Men series is that mutants are discriminated against (though they are strong). That's why the war between humans and mutants had to break out.
Magneto believes that mutants are superior humans, superior to ordinary people. I also agree with this point of view in terms of biological evolution. It can be said that mutants are new things that conform to the development of history. Relatively speaking, human beings are old things. (From this association, was the first ape-man who walked upright also discriminated against and hit?) In this work, the unreversed situation is a great victory for human beings, and new things are extinct. In history, there are many forces that are backward and destroy the advanced. For example, the Roman Empire was destroyed by the barbarians, and the contention of a hundred schools of thought was cut off by burning books and ignoring Confucianism... But the wheel of history is irreversible. Although the barbarians wiped out Rome, the barbarians also moved towards civilization. Confucianism flourished. But after that, there was indeed no Roman civilization and no Mohists. Going back to the main storyline, maybe the human beings in the future can also develop more advanced technology, but X-Men only leaves the same memorials as the Colosseum (such as helmets, wolf claws, wheelchairs...) Once civilization disappears, No longer exists, and at most only new civilizations will emerge. So, the mutants must fight.
The course of the struggle produced two different divergences. Let’s talk about the doves represented by Professor X first. He hopes to resolve mankind’s concerns about mutants through peaceful coexistence, not only to help mankind, but also to spread the idea of peaceful coexistence. Assuming this struggle plan is successful, humans and mutants live in peace. What about after Professor X's death? Now that he has a group of students who have inherited his ideas, what about the students of the students? The spread of Confucianism has changed from the original Datong society to a tool for imprisoning people's thoughts, and Islam has become a reason for jihad through the spread. If Professor X's plan is successful, it is inevitable that there will be no conflicts in the future. The mutants at that time have already developed and grown, and the extinction will be human. Therefore, a war between humans and mutants is inevitable.
Let's talk about Magneto's radical approach. He is purely for the benefit of mutants, not thinking about win-win. Personally, I prefer Magneto's style. For the future of the mutants, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his loyal subordinates and acted resolutely. Emotionally, I don't want Mystique to die, but Magneto's approach is indeed more efficient. Assuming his plan is successful, one human being is extinct and two human beings are governed by mutants. At this time, the problems mentioned above may occur. The ability of mutants cannot be contained, what should we do if they wantonly brutalize human beings? What if different mutants suppress each other for different interests? The result is a human uprising or a mutant infighting. Maybe there were laws like humans back then, but as long as humans and mutants existed at the same time, it was a potential threat to both sides. War is still inevitable.
Ren Woxing once said, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." It can also be said that where there are people, there are struggles. War and peace are eternal topics of mankind. Humans themselves should be aggressive animals, otherwise why do so many people like to watch the battle between the two sides? As long as there is conflict, there is struggle. In the next few X-Men, it is nothing more than common defense and infighting.
In short, war or struggle is inevitable, whether it is on the screen or off the screen, I just hope that the future X-Men can give us more dazzling and shocking.
This is the first time to write a film review, I don't know if there is any digression, personal feelings, feelings triggered by several wars of X-Men.
