tell a joke, villain

I saw the fourth one a day. Four days have passed almost twenty years. I can't help but sigh. The daughters are all slim, and the male protagonist has become an old father who is worried about his son-in-law, and the relationship between father and daughter. The inconsistency of the time made me mistakenly think that I broke into the set of "Hurricane Rescue", but this simple plot explanation at the beginning skipped the family drama and workplace drama partner Xi Tong, which was passed down to the fourth film and spanned more than ten years of time line. Leaving only a more spectacular explosion scene, equipped with more advanced modern machinery, can not help but make people sigh.

As a commercial blockbuster in the 21st century, the villains have also successfully upgraded their equipment. The Internet era has made the modus operandi more high-end and atmospheric. A single button can paralyze the traffic in the entire urban area and try to bring down the entire country. This should be the current pattern. The most powerful villain. It seems that everything has been upgraded, but the viewing experience is not as good as the previous ones. What we care about most is the male protagonist. We want to know his past, his emotions, his thoughts, and what he cares about. And the screenwriter has already made the male protagonist an emotionless killing machine, as if he doesn't know why he is fighting. Can you expect me to take the role of an angry father for a hairy girl from nowhere? Can you count on me wishing to see the hero who saved this country from the fire and water every time it is reduced to the point where it is now, and will continue to work for the country? Can you count on me hoping to see marriage failures, workplace failures, father-daughter relationship breakdowns, people who don't show any emotion to show us and turn into cold-faced supermen to fight bad guys?

Losing the emotion of facing life, what else can this person keep you apart from his feelings? The whole process of stopping criminals is thrilling and exciting, and the special effects pictures are getting better and better, but after watching the ending, I still love the male protagonist. There is no interest in life, and there are only ruthless tasks waiting for him, put on the cloak of justice, maintain world peace, finish this, and the next.

Or maybe this is mirroring reality? Endless work and pressure, have you already deprived you of your longing for life, love, family, friendship, food, beautiful scenery, beautiful things, calmly deal with the troubles in front of you like a male protagonist, one after another, while finishing Someone else tapped you on the shoulder and left a "good job, thank you." crap.

Don't lack the hero's courage to face difficulties, but don't lose the yearning for life, but no matter what, we are luckier than the villains, right? I beg the screenwriter to save some face for the villains. Those who bring down the whole country will be Is such a hasty death really justified? This is the first time, and if it goes on like this, will anyone still be the villain? I suspect the villain is playing me, but I have no proof.

Ps. I don't have any hope for the fifth film anymore. I don't have any blind guesses about the plot. The old routine is that the bad guys appear.
