Why is Magneto so embarrassed every time he's done playing cool?

Good feelings come from comparison.

At the close call at the beginning, the heroes' fear, hesitation, reluctance, and even the irreversible price of the highlight moment, this sense of reality is very different from the fairy tale that the Avengers Universe can't change no matter how frustrated it is. Superpower is the original sin of the superpower, and the X-Men series relies on this to make the entanglement in the Avengers always a child's play, even though the latter also pretends to fight a WWE-style civil war.

The first half of the movie is quite tight, but the second half is a bit slow. I especially like these scenes: The Beast Hank angrily and painfully pleads with Professor X to admit that he is wrong; Magneto's reaction when he sees the Dark Phoenix; the Dark Phoenix makes Professor X walk like a puppet. Rather than anti-intellectual popcorn, it's impressive that these few scenes actually give the film something literary.

The logic of super power usage is not clear enough, of course, it is a common problem that is difficult to solve in this type of film, especially Magneto's ability, which is interpreted in a flashy way. It's like, what's worse is that every time you play cool, you have to face the embarrassment of being an enemy who is not one of your opponents (the entire reboot series has this problem, in order to highlight the strength of the enemy, you always use Magneto to step in). On the contrary, the first battle between Dark Phoenix and a few X-Men was more level, and it was actually more delicate than the battle in the climax.

Of course, there are still many things to regret, such as Qin's dual personality creation. If she is more timid and neurotic, and points out that she returns to her youthful mind with an adult body, the damage caused by Professor X's shielding memory to her will be concrete, and her behavior will be more Logical. For example, after the final battle, only a few people came to the scene. The mutants all over the world are like decorations, and the realism is quite insufficient. Compared with the old three, the bearing is much worse.

    Although this X-Men is normal, in the reversal of the future, Wolverine crossed back. Professor X read the memory of the future mutants being discriminated against and persecuted in the future, so in this episode, he couldn't wait to make an appearance on the news, for the mutants. whitewash. Suddenly thought of, heart plug (three and a half stars)

    The future of the X-Men has been reversed for nothing. After watching the show, my friend said to me: I think I can do better than the movie with the lightning special effects of Storm Girl. This is also the overall feeling of the movie: shoddy. Whether it's the plot, the special effects, or the play, it all reveals a perfunctory feeling. The character dialogue is blunt, everyone's changes are too abrupt, Magneto wants to kill but not, the Phoenix girl wants to destroy the world but not... After the restart of the X-Men, the youthful beauty of "First Battle" is eye-catching, and the profound thinking of "Reverse the Future" has been adhering to the principle of telling the story well, focusing on the issue of how humans and mutants should coexist. . Even the criticized "Apocalypse" is more brilliant than "Black Phoenix". The only happy may be the ending sentence, I will give you a home. I can only give this final chapter unqualified.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix quotes

  • Professor Charles Xavier: [in tje kitchen] Do you know, this is where I first met Raven. She was just this little girl, and she'd broken in, looking for food. I said she could stay, and that she'd never have to go hungry again. And then, I think I promised her a better life.

    Hank McCoy: And then you took her it from her.

    Professor Charles Xavier: I beg your pardon?

    Hank McCoy: You heard me.

    Professor Charles Xavier: Hank...

    Hank McCoy: This is your fault, Charles. It's your fault she's dead.

    Professor Charles Xavier: Come on, that's not fair.

    Hank McCoy: Fair? No, don't talk about fair. You messed with the mind of an eight-year-old girl. You pushed down all that pain and anger...

    Professor Charles Xavier: Jean?

    Hank McCoy: ...where do you think it's gonna go?

    Professor Charles Xavier: I did that to help her. What I do, I do to help all of them.

    Hank McCoy: Please, come on, please. You still can't see what you did wrong?

    Professor Charles Xavier: It's just...

    Hank McCoy: No, you need to face this, Charles! You need to face it. Come on, admit it to me right now. Come on! Admit it! Charles, just admit you were wrong, please. You still can't.

    Professor Charles Xavier: I really hope you feel better, Hank. I hope that railing on me five minutes after I put my foster sister in the grave has made you feel...

    Hank McCoy: This isn't about me. You know what? I know what I did wrong, okay, Charles? She was gonna leave. Raven was gonna leave, and I talked her out of it. She saw what the rest of us didn't.

    Professor Charles Xavier: And what was that?

    Hank McCoy: This whole time, we've been trying to protect these kids from the world, when really, we should've been protecting them from you.

  • Professor Charles Xavier: There's still hope. Don't do this!
