In the X-Men movie world, going back to the past to change the future does not create another independently developed parallel universe, but actually erases the timeline and recreates history.
However, in the Avengers movie, going back to the past to change the future will inevitably lead to the birth of a parallel universe. In other words, even if someone goes back in time and strangles the infant Thanos to death, it will only cause the Thanos of that parallel universe to die prematurely. , it will not make Thanos, who has already invaded and lost the ball, disappear, let alone change the history of the earth being invaded.
Regardless of whether it is rigorous or whether there are bugs, at least in terms of difficulty, Hong Fei prefers the current independent X-Men universe.
After hearing Hong Fei's words, the smile on Charles' face couldn't help but froze slightly.
In such a good situation, if someone suddenly jumps out and says that the situation has deteriorated, no one will be happy, let alone truly believe what the other person says.
So does Charles.
But he is the more polite kind.
"Can you tell me the reason for your judgment?"
"I've seen it." Hong Fei remained upright.
Suddenly, Charles became even more confused: "Have you seen it?"
"Yes, I have seen everything that happens in the future, so I know all of you. Magneto Eric Lensherr, Mystique Raven, Wolverine Logan, Storm Ororo, Cyclops... He's dead, and so is Jean Grey, who just died the night before yesterday, which is really a shame."
Charles' face also darkened: "Indeed, they are all very outstanding young people, but I failed to protect them."
"Let's talk about the future. There has been a honeymoon period between humans and mutants, but what is certain is that humans will not give up. The grievances between you have been accumulated for too long. Time will not dilute them, but will make them stronger. The hatred will ferment more and more intensely, and in the end, the mutants will lose, and lose miserably."
Charles shook his head: "Sorry, sir, I cannot imagine the scene you are talking about. Today's situation is different from any other time in the past. Hank has successfully stepped onto the stage. His position officially represents the mutants." Having stepped onto the broad stage of the human world, we have reason to believe that the future will be better."
"Hank? Oh, are you testing me? But I remembered, this is your nickname for him. He is Henry McCoy who just became the United Nations Ambassador? That beast?"
"He is a human being."
"I know he is a human being, and mutants are human beings, right? But his future is not very good."
"Oh?" Charles' eyes suddenly became serious. Perhaps anything involving the safety of mutants would arouse his great concern.
Hong Fei shrugged: "He is dead. He was beaten to death by a group of humans."
Charles frowned. He didn't say such weird words as "It's impossible for humans to kill Hank" because the phrase "Mutants are humans too" could explain the matter in itself.
Mutants will also die if they are killed, and not all mutants are invulnerable or have abnormal-level self-healing abilities.
He himself died once. If it weren't for his powerful mutant abilities and a younger brother who was born brain-dead, he would really no longer exist in this world.
Hong Fei stood up at this time, walked slowly to the bed, and looked at the street scene. His tone suddenly became heavy and solemn.
"Charles, you should be very clear that the birth of any new thing will inevitably attract controversy or opposition. Even now, humans and mutants suddenly start shouting slogans of equality again.
But you must never forget that in the country you are in now, more than two hundred years ago, black people, who are also human beings, were sold as slaves. No matter how the current movies and TV series depict it, few people actually film it.
Maybe Logan, who has experienced that period, will know something about the madness of that period. The black slaves at that time had no rights at all as human beings, and not many people would treat them as human beings. As a aside, I
I think this may be the reason why they always shout about human rights now. After all, the more people lack something, the more they like to show off to others. You are a master of psychic abilities, what do you think?"
Charles pursed his lips and did not answer Hong Fei's question. Instead, he said: "But later, the black slaves were also liberated."
"Yes. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1862, and now it is 2006. Over one hundred and forty years, black people are no longer enslaved, and they have human rights here. But their discrimination has really been alleviated.
How many? How much discrimination have they suffered from different fields from birth to death? How many black people die every year in shootings, especially police shootings? By the way, I have a question, a black American, he has never had
You have been discriminated against, why do you think this is?”
Charles frowned. Although he wanted to say that such a situation was possible, the facts told him that it was impossible.
"Because he died before he was born." Hong Fei spread his hands: "If he had been born, the white nurse responsible for taking care of him would probably have started discriminatory behavior from that time on."
Charles disagreed: "This is an example."
“Mr.
Are not the same."
Charles closed his eyes gently, and a low lament came from his mouth.
Hong Fei continued: "And you have to pay attention, black people only have different skin colors. You are white and I am yellow. People of three colors have been spread all over the world for many years, but to this day, humans still cannot eliminate discrimination, even forever.
There can be no discrimination.
But what about mutants? The problem of mutants will only become more serious. Whether it is the talent you claim to have or the disease that humans call you, the special abilities you possess will ultimately isolate you from ordinary humans, and they may be jealous.
, regardless of fear, this emotion will not disappear. As long as mutants still exist, there will be people who cannot accept it from the bottom of their hearts, and then these people will continue to find ways to eliminate mutants."
Charles retorted: "But I believe that as peace continues, there will be fewer and fewer such people."
Hong Fei still shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe you would think that it would be great if mutants could achieve the status of black people today, but have you ever thought that being a mutant has the same rights as black people today?
When faced with irrevocable discrimination, prejudice, disgust or even targeting, will they really be as obedient as black people with special abilities when faced with guns? Even black people will gather for parades or go shopping for zero dollars, and mutants will
What will they do? In addition, there are also mutants among black people. What kind of conflicts will break out under the dual identity? "
"There will be laws..."
"Humans may not necessarily give you the laws you want. Even if they are given to you, they can still revise them. Charles, you should know that the key to maintaining any covenant or rules is equal strength. Mutants can originally be superior to humans.
, but your morality does not allow you to do that, so mutants lose their advantage. More importantly, humans actually already have the research basis for mutants, whether it is previous in-vivo research or the just-concluded treatment
Storm, when similar theories really turn into deadly weapons on the battlefield, do you think they will be able to bear it?
Simply put, why do you believe that a country that cannot even improve color discrimination can handle racial discrimination with greater differences in genes and abilities?"
Charles was lost in thought.
After a while, he spoke again, not talking about the main topic, but about another matter.
"You use the history of black people as a comparison to persuade me. It seems that you are very sympathetic to them. You are a kind young man."
"Hahahahahaha, you... I'm sorry, we still... haha... let's talk about business?"
Charles couldn't figure out why Hong Fei suddenly laughed so strangely, so he used his trump card for the first time since the two met.
The power of the mind is silent.
But when he unleashed his almost invincible spiritual power in the past, he suddenly discovered that in his telepathy, there seemed to be no one at Hong Fei's position.
Even the light points representing consciousness and soul do not exist.
For a moment, Charles blinked again and again in disbelief.
At the same time, Hong Fei also looked at him and smiled again and again.
Not long after, Charles, after repeated explorations, finally chose to give up temporarily.
As if nothing had happened, he continued to say calmly: "I can't refute your point of view, because such a future may indeed occur, but I still prefer to believe that with our efforts, we will eventually succeed.
"
After saying that, he looked at Hong Fei quietly.
Unexpectedly, Hong Fei turned around and said, "That's it for today. I'll go talk to someone else."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Eric Lensher, as another leader of the mutants, I think he should agree with my idea."
"Yes, that's right. But that was Eric before. He is different now because he sees the hope of success."
"That's not necessarily the case. He shouldn't reject a plan with a higher success rate."
"Forgive me for not agreeing."
"It doesn't matter. Only when we have differences can we have a wonderful world. By the way, can you tell me where I can find him faster?"
"He should be preparing for my funeral."
"Okay, thank you. Then, goodbye, Professor Charles."
Hong Fei opened the door.
Suddenly, Charles asked again.
"If, and I mean if, if Eric rejected you, would you give up?"
"you guess."
"I don't think so."
Hong Fei looked into Charles's eyes and once again sensed that the other party's psychic ability was about to move again. Fortunately, Charles suppressed it very well this time, and only slight fluctuations escaped.
"It seems like you really want to know what I would do."
Charles nodded, behind his soft eyes was a firmness that was hard to shake and even risked death without any regrets.
Hong Fei couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
"If you all agree, then I will choose to side with humans. Of course, I also dislike the government of this country, so I will not cooperate with them, but I will use my own way to push the mutants to the end as soon as possible.
"
"How long do you plan to take?"
Hong Fei raised an index finger.
"One year?" Charles frowned, then shook his head: "You are too eager to get things done. If you are not fully prepared, even if I am really dead, others, including Eric, will do their best to stop you.
.”
Hong Fei smiled and nodded.
In fact, he meant a day, not a year.
Twelve months a year, more than 360 days, and more than 8,700 hours, is too long.
If they really can't reach an agreement, Hong Fei may be able to complete the task within an hour when the plan is actually implemented.
The purpose of this is to force mutants to take the initiative to travel through time and space to change history.
There is no reason why he can't do things that the second-generation Sentinel robots developed by humans can do.
Although the process has changed, in the end, different paths lead to the same goal.
This is not a joke, it cannot even be regarded as a simple coercion strategy, because assuming that neither Charles nor Magneto agree, then Hong Fei will really do that.
It just so happens that he needs to do something bad now to balance his body and energy.
This can also be regarded as a moral way.
Maybe Charles saw Hong Fei's "sincerity" and determination, or maybe he was actually convinced by Hong Fei's words just now.
