Reduce resistance through terror or a show of overwhelming force (if I recall, this was the idea behind the Death Star, a weapon so overwhelming people would just give up at the sight of it).<br /><br />Of course, he's also planning to transfer his mind into Xavier's body, at which point he'll be able to control everyone in the world, so quite why he needs to take that step I don't know. Unless he just wanted to make certain nobody tried destroying the world as a last ditch "Fuck you".<br /><br />sallyp: You aren't missing much, unless you want to see an somewhat awkward and shy Nightcrawler or, um, Jubilee? Little strange she's older than Cyclops in this movie.CalvinPitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815632086057048846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19932777.post-36400122734805312732017-03-31T12:26:57.510-05:002017-03-31T12:26:57.510-05:00I haven't seen any of the prequel... nor to I ...I haven't seen any of the prequel... nor to I plan to.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19932777.post-20716027050055184952017-03-31T03:11:44.928-05:002017-03-31T03:11:44.928-05:00I was a bit baffled by Apocalypse's plan. Seiz...I was a bit baffled by Apocalypse's plan. Seize all the nukes, then throw them into space and then... what? Isn't getting rid of all the nuclear weapons a good thing? It seemed more of a "they will hate me for this now but come to realise the good I have done" plan but that wasn't how it was played.<br /><br />The revelation of Quicksilver's identity -- it's quite near the end so you'd have stopped watching by that point -- was weak too. Instead of telling Magneto that he has a son and so something to live for, there's some guff about how the X-Men are his family; they had a legitimate moment of potential character drama in there and threw it aside in favour of a Hallmark moment. Bleh.<br /><br />I saw this film late on a Sunday night when I was stuck in London and there was nothing else to do. I wish I'd stayed in the hotel room.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.com
