"X-Men"

The X-Men is great.
Isn't Sabah's ability absorption trait similar to that of Captain Chrollo. Captain Chrollo's ability stealing technique is even simpler, and Sabah's absorption procedure is too complicated, so he will be buried alive at the beginning. Of all the mutant abilities I like the most about Quicksilver's time stop - unfortunately he can't control the length of time stop at will. The mind-reading skills of both the professor and the Phoenix are a bit scary: who wants to have a mind-reader around.
Magneto's power is so powerful, but he still can't protect his wife and children. Incognito is useless, and having supernatural powers is the original sin. The killing and destruction of Magneto after the death of his wife and children is understandable. How many people would not have done that?
"When a person has a powerful ability, he will ignore the rule of law; when a person's ability is so powerful that he can do anything, he will want to rule the world." - I think, if I have a strong ability, I will definitely ignore the rule of law, but if I have a powerful ability like Apocalypse, will I want to rule the world?
I have little interest in world domination. However, with such supernatural powers, when human beings act first, can they still be rationally restrained?
The real reason for the X-Men to fight against Apocalypse is to protect human beings, protect this human world, or do they not want to be controlled by Apocalypse? Destroy the world and build a new world, but this new world will be ruled by the apocalypse - will it accept the rule of man, or the rule of law?
"Everyone who comes looking for trouble will regret it" - this is the professor's answer to Magneto. The X-Men were not only used to fight the apocalypse, but also to fight the humans. Whether it is an ability user or those powerful monsters in the fantasy world, it is never a good way to hide their names and capture them if they want to coexist with humans.

X-Men: Apocalypse quotes

  • Moira MacTaggert: What are those?

    Charles Xavier: Those are all the humans of the world.

    [some turn red]

    Charles Xavier: And these... are all the mutants. I'm connected to all of their minds.

    Moira MacTaggert: The CIA would kill for this.

    Charles Xavier: I know they would.

  • Charles Xavier: You're blocking me. How?

    Apocalypse: I can shield their minds from your power. It's one of the many gifts I've acquired throughout the millenia. But to see inside a mind... to control it... that's your gift. You saw it, didn't you? The glory of what's to come.

    Charles Xavier: You're going to take part in all this killing and destruction?

    Erik Lensherr: It's all I've ever known.

    Charles Xavier: No, it isn't. You've just forgotten.

    Erik Lensherr: No, Charles, I remember. Your way doesn't work.

    Apocalypse: I've shown him a better way. A better world.

    Charles Xavier: No, you've just tapped into his rage and pain. That's all you've done.
