At the beginning of the story, he is in the rainy concentration camp, and you are in the castle in westchest.

Different experiences make different lives.

Witnessing his mother's tragic death, anger, unwillingness, and humiliation made him embark on the road of revenge. He uses his powers for revenge, to intimidate, to threaten, to punish all who fail him. In his heart, there will no longer be kindness and compassion.

And in the faraway America, you see raven disguised as his mother and smile. "I'm finally not alone".

Over the years, I have always admired people like Lao Wan. The goal is clear, because the road chosen is extremely difficult and the sacrifice is inevitable, and some unscrupulous. He will cry for the warm memories of his childhood, and he will shoot raven coldly and ruthlessly. After all, I have seen too many dark sides of human beings. Concentration camps as a child, or forced to lose a beloved wife and daughter after a decade of incognito. They let you down time and time again, they aimed thousands of missiles at you; they avenged you, they betrayed you. You choose tit for tat, and it's understandable.

But in the prequel series, I was moved by the professor time and time again. In the first battle, the little professor was a high-spirited scholar. You are young and promising. You will fight with people in bars, flirt with beautiful women, and you are no different from thousands of young people. At that time, you had almost everything: you lived with your sister, she would lie in your arms and listen to you read your papers and fall asleep; you met Erik, you worked hard to get rid of his anger, you persuaded the accustomed to He walks alone and stays and forms your own team. You search around for the same kind, and you share each other's ideas. Disagreements are always there, but that won't affect your friendship. There are disappointments, pains, and setbacks, and you overcome them together.

However, overnight, you became alone, your friends parted ways with you, the students were drafted into the army, and you were physically handicapped... Which thing is more unbearable for you? As a result, the ability becomes a burden on you, you hear all kinds of loud noises, you can't control them, those voices linger in your head, those voices drown you, you can't rest.

so much pain.

Your own pain and the pain of others have seriously affected your life. Negative emotions have accumulated to a peak, and you have almost collapsed. It's as if back in childhood, that little Charles who couldn't control his abilities and was at a loss. You become dependent on alcohol, injecting drugs. That antibiotic inhibits your ability while allowing you to walk, and your world is finally at peace.

Wisdom is like a professor who has insight into world affairs, but also has such a decadent past, and has also given up hope. It turns out that you were not born so strong, so firm, so indestructible.

Across time and space, fifty years later you say to you: to maintain hope, that is the key to reversing the future and changing your destiny.

You finally found yourself.

You have witnessed or listened to all the joys and sorrows in the world, the good, the beautiful, the noble, the worldly, the ugly, but you still choose to believe in human beings, in their goodness and beauty, and believe that if you work hard and persevere, you will surely have glorious future. You were also confused and gave up, but you still chose to believe. The faith after the ordeal is even stronger. You rebuild the school and recruit all the children with abilities. You teach them lessons, you guide them well, and you are the guide for every child. You have finally become that wise man, the mentor--professor X.

EC

decade after decade.

You did your best to be close to each other. You have your perseverance, he has his beliefs, the two sides will not give in, they can only part ways. But there is another thread that connects each other faintly, allowing you to join hands again and again to fight the enemy after the differences.

We've only met twice in twenty years. But not unfamiliar. One sentence: hello, old friend, as if crossing time, back to the night when we used to play chess in front of the fireplace. Some people may not be able to be with each other every day, but the familiar ones seem to have never been separated.

Raven

mutant and proud, this is one of my favorite lines.

When raven was a little girl, she was very concerned about her appearance. She judged herself by human aesthetic standards. She would try to maintain the shape of an ordinary person, and she would ask her loved ones whether she was beautiful in blue. Only Erik told her, don't hide your essence, you are the most beautiful creature in this world. So she decided to leave the home where she had lived for many years and Charles, who was close to her brother, and followed that person.

Raven finally grew up. She was determined and persistent, assassinating the ruthless Trask, but at the critical moment she chose to put down the gun in her hand. She eventually became a hero who reversed the fate of mutants in the mouths of younger generations.

Have the courage to face your imperfect self. Or maybe there is no such thing as imperfection in this world, you are just different. You have to face up to your differences and be proud of them.
