Written after the end of the trilogy

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.

    Do you know where Wolverine is? Wolverine carried steel claws around the world, exploding the chrysanthemums of those who said Professor X and Magneto are good friends after reading this movie.

    Sure enough, it was right not to go home and go to the cinema! Jiqingshan blinded my dog's eyes! What i can't leave him! What you're not alone! What male number one is injured lying in the arms of male number two! Then the male number two almost killed the woman who shot! And from fighting side by side to parting ways! It flashed so hard that I dare not look directly at the screen! The point is that I believe I don’t have tinted glasses

X-Men: First Class quotes

  • Professor Charles Xavier: You know, I believe that true focus lies somewhere between rage and serenity. Would you mind if I...

    [Charles makes a gesture to request permission to read Erik's mind]

    Erik Lehnsherr: [Erik signals approval and while Charles reads Erik minds. We see moments of Erik's childhood with his mother] What did you just do to me?

    [Both Erik and Charles cries]

    Professor Charles Xavier: I accessed the brightest corner of your memory system. It's a very beautiful memory, Erik. Thank you.

    Erik Lehnsherr: I didn't know I still had that.

    Professor Charles Xavier: There is so much more to you than you know. Not just pain and anger. There is good, too. I felt it. When you can access all of that, you will possess a power no one can match. Not even me.

  • Professor Charles Xavier: Shaw's declared war on mankind on all of us, he has to be stopped.

    Erik Lehnsherr: I am not gonna stop Shaw, I am gonna kill him. Do you have it in you to allow that?

    [Erik pauses while Charles shifts in his chair uneasy]

    Erik Lehnsherr: You known all along why I was here Charles, but things have changed. What started as a covert of mission, tomorrow mankind will know mutants exist. Shaw, us, they won't differentiate. They'll fear us. And that fear will turn to hatred.

    Professor Charles Xavier: Not if we stop a war, not if we can prevent Shaw, not if we risk our lives doing so.

    Erik Lehnsherr: Would they do the same for us?

    Professor Charles Xavier: We have it in us to be the better man.

    Erik Lehnsherr: We already are! We are the next stage of human evolution, you said it yourself...

    Professor Charles Xavier: [cuts in] No, no...

    Erik Lehnsherr: Are you really so naive as to think that they won't battle their own extinction? Or is it arrogance?

    Professor Charles Xavier: [looks at Erik in disagreement] I am sorry.

    Erik Lehnsherr: After tomorrow, they are gonna turn on us. But you are blinded because you believe they are all like Moira.

    Professor Charles Xavier: And you believe they are all like Shaw.

    [leans forward]

    Professor Charles Xavier: Listen to me very carefully, my friend: killing Shaw will not bring you peace.

    Erik Lehnsherr: Peace was never an option.
