I'm a fan of X-Men movies. I've seen all of them and even have my own DVD copy of their first trilogy and so with the Wolverine trilogy.
And I just recently watched the third part of the X-Men : First Class trilogy (which is the X-Men : Apocalypse) and more than just the awesome effects that, well, everybody is expecting, I would like to share the moral lesson that every X-Men movie has thought us, even from the beginning - and that is the difference between POWER AND CONTROL.
It was the same lesson from the very first X-Men movie up to this very recent one.
That power and control are two different thing. Some might think that Jean Grey is the underdog that is actually more powerful than Charles since she is the great Phoenix. But I always believed that Charles is the greater one.
For one reason - CONTROL.
If you are powerful and so powerful that you cannot control your power then you are not that powerful at all because your power controls you. But if you can control your power then that means you are more powerful than your own power. And that is what real power is... Control.
And great minds can control what the power of emotions can do. Emotions are powerful enough to destroy you. So to control your emotions is power beyond your power.
