X-Men Days of Future Past (Thoughts)

[W_L]

Nice storytelling and awesome graphics are easy to point out, but character development and wider story arcs are harder to just point and understand.

 

I know some of you guys don't like Comic book movies, but a story about the essence of human conflict and our self destructive impulses versus our nobler goals is worth a lot in good narratives.

 

Without giving spoilers, there is a scene in the movie that reminds people of why comic books exists for fun and interesting effects (let's just say I think a Flash movie can be extremely cool based on how far our graphics have come).

 

As for some general notes, the X-Men among many of their allegories from racial minorities to sexual minorities (hated by morally superior, fear of being "outed", and every gay cliche you can think up )

 

Their stories are great allegories for gay youth in the 80-90's, though recent stories lose some of their poignancy, it still holds an interesting place in fictional literature.
