The world of superheroes is actually very cruel. In almost all superpower movies, no matter how big the contradiction between superheroes and humans is, with the development of the plot and the limitations of human capabilities, in the end, superheroes and humans The contradictions between the two will become secondary contradictions, and the final "decisive battle" will also become an internal battle between superheroes. For example, the recent "Batman vs Superman" and "Parasite" belong to this type.
In "X-Men", Apocalypse is a tragic figure who was betrayed by human beings and buried in the ground tens of thousands of years ago. betrayed. Although Apocalypse has great talent and super ability, he is a very pure character in his bones. He also has a good desire to revitalize his own race, so Apocalypse bestowed Magneto's enhanced hat, Storm's flowing white hair, etc., to maximize their power and potential. He naively thought that his kind would help him. . But what Apocalypse didn't realize was that his arrival took away the power that belonged to the professor and Magneto. We can clearly see from the three "X-Men" that the mutants are always divided. There are two factions, namely the doves led by professors and the hawks led by Magneto. It is to advocate for better treatment and living conditions for mutants.
The reason why Magneto agreed to follow Apocalypse was actually to achieve what he did not finish (I know many people would think it was the reason why Magneto's wife and daughter died, but this is an introduction at best), but at the last moment, Magneto discovered Apocalypse The power of Apocalypse is too powerful. If Apocalypse wipes out all the professors and his party, then no one can stop Apocalypse. In this case, he will have to live in the shadow of Apocalypse for the rest of his life. So at the end, Magneto attacked Apocalypse with seemingly no warning. In fact, this was all Magneto had planned for a long time. Because before Apocalypse did not wake up, the rank order of mutants had been clearly divided. Although Magneto was always blocked and restricted by the professor, the two were generally evenly matched, although there was a large number of people behind the professor. The school of mutants, but Magneto always has a legion of die-hards to follow him every time he needs to call in people. Therefore, under the premise that this hierarchical order has been confirmed, neither the professor nor Magneto can tolerate the existence of a mutant with greater abilities than them.
Superhero movies like "X-Men" almost all use the same plot treatment. For example, in "Superman: Man of Steel", the villain General Zod is a tragic figure similar to Apocalypse, General Zod As the only survivor of Krypton, he wanted to conquer the earth for the continuation of his race, but he was repeatedly blocked by his own fellow, Superman. From the perspective of the Kryptonians, General Zod is definitely a national hero. betray. Superman's behavior is illogical. In order to help mankind, he killed the few remaining Kryptonians (of course you can think that Superman is avenging his father), but in fact, Superman's situation is the same as that of Magneto. When General De didn't come to Earth, Superman was the "god" of the Earth and was worshipped by the people on Earth. But after General Zod came to Earth, people suddenly discovered that Superman was just an "ordinary person", and any Kryptonian came to Earth. After that, they will become "Superman", and the status of Superman is threatened, so he wants to kill General Zod. A similar situation is also true in the "Transformers" series. In every movie, Optimus Prime, who is slaughtering his own kind, is called a hero by us. This kind of mental state is actually very understandable. For example, many children are extremely opposed to their parents having a second child, because they feel that once they have a younger brother and sister, they will lose their status as "little ancestors" and "little princesses" , they could eat two candies at a time, but now they have to give one to their younger siblings, they feel the coming "threat", so there are many similar incidents.
Humans and mutants, mutants and mutants, all the struggles between them are nothing more than the struggle for power. Human beings want to control mutants in order to compete for power, and even destroy them. Professor and Magneto team up to kill them in order to compete for power. Apocalypse, despite the high-sounding they advertise for various reasons.
