'X-Men: Apocalypse': On the Real Reason Magneto's Revolt

Harvey 2022-04-20 09:01:11

Compared with the negative reviews of film critics at the North American preview, after watching the film, I felt that it exceeded my expectations. Although it did not reach the height of "X-Men: First Class" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past", the film still By telling a wonderful story, the task was successfully completed.

The world's oldest mutant, Apocalypse, was resurrected in Egypt, summoning the "Four Horsemen of Apocalypse", including Magneto, Storm, Psylocke, and Angel, in an attempt to destroy the world and rebuild a new one. And the righteous X-Men headed by Professor X and Mystique will naturally not let Apocalypse succeed, so a battle of good and evil begins again.

The seemingly invincible Apocalypse is actually a big boss with "developed limbs and simple mind". Not only did he choose the wrong opponent, but even more stupidly, he chose the wrong teammate, which led to Magneto's rebellion in the end, and was defeated by Phoenix Girl and Magneto, Storm, Cyclops and others joined forces to eliminate.

The relationship between Professor X and Magneto love and kill each other is further strengthened in this film. When there is a common enemy, the two always agree to the outside world, and when there is no foreign enemy, the two always fight non-stop.

Of course, Apocalypse itself also has a physique of hatred. As soon as he wakes up, he has to study and absorb all the knowledge of thousands of years.

And this time, the reason for Magneto's rebellion may not be as simple as the recovery of the concept of justice. Under the in-depth interpretation, there may be several things that have planted the seeds of hatred in Magneto's heart.

First, Magneto, who witnessed the murder of his wife and daughter, wanted to kill his co-workers the first thing he did after he was blackened. As a result, Apocalypse killed these co-workers first, without giving Magneto a chance to be handsome.

Second, Magneto questioned Apocalypse, where was Apocalypse when his parents were killed. Apocalypse actually said "I'm in a deep sleep" in an understatement. How could Magneto trust such a sleepy person?

This is still a small case. What really disgusts Magneto is the following two points.

Third, when Professor X and Magneto were chatting in the air, it would be fine for Apocalypse to eavesdrop on the privacy. He even forced Magneto to go offline and open a private chat mode with the X-Men.

Fourth, in order to steal Professor X's ability, Apocalypse chose the most unacceptable method of Magneto: the mad Apocalypse actually wanted to sleep Professor X. It's called Chuan Gong, but it's actually rubbing oil. The man who dares to rob me of Magneto, is it tolerable or unbearable?

Finally, this became the last straw that overwhelmed Magneto.

At the end of the film, Magneto and Professor X ended their affectionate dialogue. After Magneto left with a smile, I understood that the story is not over, and the fate will continue.

    The new chapter has fulfilled my dream for so many years. Tucao point: Tianqi's face looks like he hasn't shit for three thousand years; the actor of Storm Girl has no aura; the professor's hair turned out to be so lacking; Wolverine, why are you playing soy sauce again. Thousand sails are exhausted, maybe we have been hurt a lot, the broken hearts will still be put together again for the one we love.

    The special effects are awesome and the scenes are much more refreshing than Team America 3. It turns out that Professor X's hair didn't fall off naturally due to the increase in age and knowledge. Box Box Box Box also got Quick Silver for the peripherals sent by Box Box Cinema! Worth the ticket price(*.゚ー゚)
