Who would protect him, in the modern world, with the same zealotry these showed? Very few people would, even fewer are mutants and of these mutants, even fewer has some significat abilities, which are actually combat useful. But yeah, BirdPerson was not his best choice i will give you that. But rest of them were like Alpha to Omega level mutants, so they were at least as powerful as his old Horsemen.... But as i said, while not totally eradicated, extreme religious zealotry like this(or even what we experienced even 2-3 hundreds years ago) is, thankfully, becoming the very unpleasant past. At least in civilized countries.

@Hanith "...At least in civilized countries." That's the part you got it wrong. Religious extremism can be seen anywhere from the US to the deep corners of Europe.

I will not presume to know what your definition of "civilized countries" entails. However, I would definitely like to point out that the time period and the specific geopolitical region presented in this scene, not to mention the level of ingenuity on display, generally qualify as one of the most advanced ancient civilizations. Zealots, political or religious , are found everywhere, across time and cultures.

Its not the problem of choosing. Better put it as the problem of training and shaping the mind.

And zealotry is not just religious in nature. People can easily become zealots when it comes to politics, races, nationalities, etc.

I disagree. I really dont understand why everyone hates this movie. Look at the Quicksilver scene. Look at the Weapon X scene

I agree

@@LukeLovesRose oh, you mean the corporate decision to shoe-horn in the Hugh Jackman cash cow for no reason and recycling the one scene from the past that was good for the third time? Cool.

True dat bro

Yup, they took care of one of the most powerful mutant in mankind that even x-men barely defeated with all their powers. And these people have no powers and primitive technology lol!

Maybe Kang can come in and be the one who helped the Egyptians get rid of Apocalupse … in SECRET WARS …

The Egyptians were taught to build the pyramid for their slave overlords but used the knowledge to their advantage to trap or kill them

​@@ammolator they're my superheroes 😭

true

@@muhammadharis4492 That last of Apocolypse's Horseman was absolute ride or die.

I feel that most movies have a spark of brilliance in at least one scene, and this is definitely it for X-men. The soul behind each side is what makes it so great, and it's always impressive when you can see both sides with respect in a scene; the horsemen might be supporting a crazed dictator and clearly earned the humans' betrayal, but it's hard not to respect devotion that's strong enough to be willing to die for another.

Definitely better to be the humans outside in a situation like this

And the fire didn't even hesitate to burn you inside out in splt seconds. That's why they will easily over power the modern mutants....unlike the modern mutants...they didn't even hesitate to use their powers directly to the enemies themselves.

Not friends, servants

@@stu9835 You mean slaves?

@@Rink03 not slaves, slaves were those outside.

@@stu9835 Do you think that if they told Apocalypse they wanted to leave he would've let them?

I think what he meant was, what kind of friend would sheild you from a caving building with their dying breath.

He may have been a tyrant, but he was in all likelihood the one who saved the horsemen... I suspect that mutants were even more hated back then (or outright worshiped in Apocalypse's case) and so any mutant found was probably either killed before he became a threat or reqruited by Apocalypse

They probably also agreed with his teachings. And he wasnt exactly a "destroy absolutely everything" kind of guy

He was good with words called of them his sons remember? There is not loyalty without love.

That moment when you learn that the technology Apocalypse uses to transform them into Horsemen specifically warps their mind to be loyal to him :/ Ask Archangel about how much fun it is to recover from that brainwashing.

@@AimlessZealot i think there was really no brain washing. Because Magneto changed his mind in the end. The rest were outcast forgotten by everyone but were saved and given new life and power. They all chose their own path. None of them became mindless obiedient zombie.

this is why evil people should treat their 'friends' better.

Her power was very weak though. Invisible Woman can create force fields and quickly expand them. So, if it was the other way around, she would expand the force-field and rip the entire pyramid from underground. It is honestly such a horrid thing that media never gets superpowers right (aside from Boys and invincible). Force fields, teleportation, phasing etc are god-tier powers if used with even a little bit of creativity.

​@@kingol4801powers like Telepathy, telekinesis and making forcefields are nerfed in movies EXACTLY because everyone knows they're OP as fuck. They're pieces of fiction that are supposed to work for the plot, not making the plot revolve around them

@@LukeLovesRosei understand the movie was trash. He did better as moon knight. Marvel wouldve atleast tried to make him look more like apocalypse. Maybe u dont understand the character apocalypse and u jus appreciate any trash thts given. U probably think the deadpool in the wolverine movie was better then the one we have now. Lol but opinions are opinions.

MEGA Movie Movement: Make Evil Great Again lol

that's a good point. I think the impulse is to portray villains as weak and 'vicious' in the sense that they are full of vice and not virtues (like self sacrifice or bravery or cleverness etc). So impulse-driven villains/henchmen makes sense because we want to criticise those traits. HOWEVER: in real life, peopel who are good at things are still capable of using their virtues for evil. So maybe... we should consider that angle.

modern henchmen are super individualistic, it makes sense in an era of capitalism and neoliberalism, unfortunately. Gotta say those old and totally devoted henchmen are great, wish we could see more of those.

If modern henchmen are not super individualistic then the boss will sacrifice them instead. That's what you would see in TV. I guess you can see it in the workplace as well, where there's no more the same loyalty company - worker as before.

Ya got henchmen and ya got goons. Those guys were henchmen.

Egyptians literally loved ratios and balance lmao, he didn't question it cause it was their cultural practice.

Or it is a similar yet different pyramid. 😅

All villains gloat about power/ruling but probably suck at it. Apocalypse was no different.

Well said

He just improvidently hired Galen Erso to build the pyramid.

Nah, all the conspirators only met the night before, had 1 hour of serious discussion and 2 hours of heavy drinking, went home to have one last sex and then spent the rest of their time digging and preparing.

200? Like 15,000 foot drop. Christ.

I agree. But maybe it empty space was needed for ritual( i don`t know what is in comics and what this ritual needed). I`m will glad if someone who know exactly explain this.

@@MrCinnamonboy FR. The drop was about as deep as the runway from that fast and furious 6 was long.

It's on purpose. The whole pyramid was a trap. The real mystery is how on earth did they even dig that drop

@@adverterb Maybe they had their own mutant friends that hated Apocalypse too. That's probably the best explanation for a feat of engineering I doubt we could achieve here in the modern world. Come to think of it, I'll bet earth-bending mutants is how they built All the pyramids in this universe.

Exactly like otherworldly

Aren’t they all Egyptian ☠️ except for the telekinesis girl

Well it's a sacrifice they endure the rule of the four horseman It's going to be worse if the leader is revive so they have to do what's needed to be done so that mankind will not perish

If they didnt do what they did, who knows how powerful Apocalypse would have become by the 20th century

​@@Spookssga Humanity would've probably died before the 20th century

No. It kinda makes sense. Power-level wise, once you go again Phoenix or Magneto, you should realistically become Jill Sandwitch

...what is the symbolism between Sekhmet and strength, or Anubis and telekinesis? Or Horus, the sky king and pyrokinesis?

@@willchurch8376 Sekhmet the Warrior, and Anubis the tender of souls. Horus was the Lord of *Sun* and Sky.

They're the proud ancestors of future Purifiers 😊

It was the only good part of movie

it's the majority opinion and that's why it's the one that matters. If the rest of the movie had this kind of momentum it would have been great

Yeah. No single scene in the MCU feels this confident or exciting

Liar 😂. As an Egyptian though this scene is one of the most accurate in terms of how it depicts how Egyptians look, used to dress like and the type of architecture. It’s really easy to do yet so rare somehow.

​@@perra5910 Egyptian were black...

Exactly lol

Human entertainment needs drama. If superpowers worked and were applies logically, it would be a very grim world full of despair, because of how RELIABLY BORING they would be. Superman? Big brother that hears and sees all. Most enemies defeated by laser dropped from outer space (see Alice in Borderland laser system). Even if you send a ballistic missile with kryptonite to him, he is in higher atmosphere levels at least, without need for sleep, food or about anything. He will see that rocket flying from hours away (and month to get to him, given super speed). Teleportation character? Enjoy your organs being ripped off by portals… or…. you know…. them teleporting nukes and explosive devices anywhere and anything (perfect delivery system). Obviously you will never catch them either. Oh? A country combines their effort to track them down? Guess it is time to teleport Mount Everest very high in the sky, and flatten a country with an improvised meteor. Force fields? Invincible enemy. And yes, enjoy your head being “popped” or your inner organs being severed with portals in fashion like that headpop woman from “the Boys”. Mind control? Killgrave or (if smarter) Lelouch Vi Britannia. There is a movie called “dark minds” or something, about teenagers getting superpowers, and it shows how one telepath can essentially rule the world all by themselves. Anything with human factor in it will be their domain. Superheroes in media have amazing powers used in the most INEFFECTIVE way possible to end threats. Example: This guy slings web. Oh no, now he also needs super-strength to use that gimmicky round-about efficiently. AND super-reflexes. And 10 other things to justify using web. Reality: A guy who can stop a train with a his arms can just finger-flick you through a concrete wall… or just grab you by the neck… what are you gonna do? Risk being manually decapitated from a squeeze? Any superpowers, if not borderline useless, would be “instant win button” to life. Stories featuring them would be immensely boring. So, writers give characters amazing powers, used in the least effective way possible… heroes practically throw a fight for the human enemy to do so something. The only beings capable of realistically contesting a super-human being would also be super-human

​@@kingol4801 This deserves more upvotes. Also, bonus points for the Code Geass shout out.

Imagine yourself? You wake up, and suddenly the world you knew is completely gone. In 60 years, people went from building first aircraft/plane to flying to space. That is one lifespan. The dude got awoken from 1000+ lifespans worth of sleep. Even with powers to speed up understanding, that is A LOT of catching up to do. And he, instead of spending years to adapt to the new world and come up with a reasonable plan… did whatever. Probably, so culture-shocked and confused, he longed for familiarity…. So, he naturally assumed that picking up low-lives with power (what worked for him in that century) would work in the current. It does not. Typical example of cognitive anchor bias. So, yes, teens with super powers, OPTIMIZED to fight threats of modernity, were more skilled to fight at their own home turf. Progress is a scary thing. It is a massive advantage.

Especially when you consider that he literally made them god like. Look how weak storm was before he boosted her. It's more like they felt that they owed him everything good they had instead of pure loyalty in my opinion.

Look at Capitol hill rioters, Trump cultists, they're ready to die for Trump. It's just like that. You can also compare it to vampires who are ready to die to protect their king Dracula.

@@Tomy-im8zl It's crazy, considering how Jim Jones and Charles Manson is able to convince a whole group to murder and commmit suicide. But I noticed how all of these have in common, all those leaders made their followers feel like family and they needed to contribute to the cause.

@@AllenHanPR yeah well about the suicide not all of them wanted to go through though. Sadly, it's been documented that some of them were forced... but yeah in a sense they made them felt like family, even soldiers of a just cause that they all are part of.

Never underestimate fanatics or how far they are willing to go

They weren't decapitating, exploding heads, string cheesing bodies or slicing bitches in halves, just saying. This was no more brutal than MoM, the sound design is superior that's it.

No blood and guts or blood, just instant death. Gore is brutal, not the attack preceding it.

​@@murk4552Naah. This is way brutal. MoM was super PG.

Ну они не всемогущие. У каждого есть некоторые не ограниченные для простого человека возможности, но они бесконечно далеки от всемогущества.
