Andikuthandi ukuhamba kwexesha. Ukuxolela isizathu sokuba ibhola enkulu ye-wibbly-wobbly-time-wimey stuff, uninzi lokuhamba kwexesha laseHollywood liqukethe ukutshintsha amaxesha amade ukuze kuthintelwe iimpazamo, ukufa, kunye nentlekele ye-apocalyptic. Okona kulungileyo, kuvela njengombhalo olinganayo weqhinga elicocekileyo, apho kubi kakhulu kukungakhathali, ukubhala imingxunya ebhaliweyo emayisebenzise sci-fi mumbo-jumbo ukugubungela iindlela zayo. Kodwa isaga yokutsiba kwexesha lakutshanje ukubetha kwiscreen sesilivere- X-Men: Iintsuku zeXesha elidlulileyo -Yenziwe kakuhle kwizithembiso zayo ngombimbi omkhulu; Ifilimu uqobo lwayo lelinye ixesha elichanekileyo kwinto eyenzekileyo kwiiqhula, ngenxa yesizathu esingaqondakaliyo. Eso sizathu nguNks uShadowcat uqobo, uKitty Pryde, othe endaweni yokuba abe liarhente yokuhamba-hamba, usebenza njengebhetri egcwaliswe kakhulu ebuyisela iWolverine.
Nangona siza kungena kwezi nkcukacha zingezantsi, ukutshintshwa kwe-canon kobu bukhulu kulungelelwaniso lwencwadi-kuya-kwifilimu kuya kuhlala kukhuthaza ingqumbo ye-intanethi, izincoko malunga notshintsho, kunye nengxoxo eshushu phakathi kwabalandeli. Endaweni yoko, kubonakala ngathi ikona kuphela kwilizwe labalandeli-eyona ichaphazelekayo kwimicimbi yokumelwa kwabasetyhini-ethe yathetha ngokuchasene. Ukuqwalaselwa kwe-canonical fanaticism eyalandela ukwaziswa komntu obhinqileyo IHobbit Iifilimu, unokucinga ukuba kuyamangalisa ukubona indlala yokungavumelani. Ngaphandle kokuba eyona nto siyijongayo ikwayinto enye ngokubuyela umva, elinye icala eliqhelekileyo- wonke umntu uyatsho nam ngoku - isini saseHollywood.
Ukusombulula le mfihlakalo ukoneliseka, masenze ukubamba kwexesha lokuhamba; ukuya ku-1981, xa yokuqala Iintsuku zeXesha elidlulileyo yapapashwa kwi I-X-Men engafunekiyo uthotho. Unqwenela ukuphambuka kwikamva le-dystopi ngo-2013 apho zonke izinto eziguqukayo zafakwa kwinkampu yoqeqesho okanye wabulawa ngokuchanekileyo, uKate, née Kitty, uPryde wadlulisela ukuqonda kwakhe kwaba mncinci kuye, ngo-1983. Apho, wahlanganisa i-X-Men yakudala ukunqanda ukubulawa kukaSenator uRobert Kelly, isenzo esakhokelela kwimfazwe yokulwa nokuguquka. Le arc yenye yezona zidumileyo kwi X-Amadoda imbali, kwaye yanceda ukuseka ukuthandwa kothotho phantsi kombhali UChris Claremont . Ibonakala njengebali leplum ngokudibana kwifilimu, kungoko kutheni utshintsho lomlinganiswa?
Phambi kokuba ujike ungene kwithiyori yelenqe, kuya kufuneka sijongane nezinye zeenkcazo ezisengqiqweni kolu tshintsho. Mhlawumbi ngokungathandabuzekiyo, uninzi lwazo lunento yokwenza nemali kunye nezinto zokusebenza. I-Kitty, ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, yayingekamiselwa njengoyena mntu uphambili kwi-X-franchise. Ngapha koko, ekuphela kwembonakalo yakhe enkulu, apho waye waboniswa nayo Ellen Page , Kwifilimu ye-X sonke sinikele amandla okwenza ngathi akuzange kwenzeke. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ukwanda kukaNks Page okwandileyo okwethutyana kuthetha ukuba uya kuba nakho ukubanakho ukuthatha inxaxheba enkulu. Ke kukho inyani ethandwayo yokuthandwa kukaWolverine njengomlinganiswa kunye nolindelo lwabalandeli lokuba imovie izakumngqonga njengomdlali ophambili: ezi bhanyabhanya khange zibeninzi kangako malunga ne-X-Men, emva kwayo yonke loo nto, njengoko ibinjalo malunga neWolverine. Okokugqibela, kukho i-funk ebangelwe kukuhamba kwexesha phakathi kwe-non-so-far-future from 2014, apho uKitty eseyintombazana encinci, kunye nee-1970s, xa engekazalwa okwangoku.
Izandi malunga nelungelo. Kodwa ndisabiza intlonti. Ukungabikho kokuthandwa kukaKitty akuyiyo impazamo yomlingiswa wakhe, kodwa yimpazamo yabalobi, abaye bagxininisa amandla abo ngokuphindaphindiweyo kwi-trope yokuhamba yomntu onzima onguLogan wethu othandekayo. Ukubuyela umva kwiWolverine kwakhona ngumxube we-kowtowing kubaphulaphuli nolwazi kunye nokubhala okudala okucacileyo okuchukunyiswe ngesini. Ababhali besikrini baxelelwa ukuba benze kwa into enye, kodwa bahluke, kwaye bangaphambuki kude nendlela, hleze abaphulaphuli bashiye ngasemva, bashiye nemali yabo ngasemva. Ayikuko ukuba abanakuthatha ixesha lokwazisa umlinganiswa ophambili omtsha; Kungenxa yokuba bebengafuni, ngakumbi ukuba ngumfazi, lowo bacinga ukuba uya kuphulukana nabo bathengi matikiti kwimpelaveki yokuvula ebalulekileyo.
Okokugqibela, ukhona umba wexesha, obungenakuba yingxaki ukuba abavelisi bebengazami ukudibanisa ii-franchise ezimbini kunye. Ndiyakhalaza malunga ne-sci-fi mumbo-jumbo, kodwa yona, inene, inezibonelelo zayo, oko kukuthi unokwenza into entle kakhulu oyifunayo ebalini, ukuba nje kukho ingcaciso esengqiqweni enokuthanani nesandi esithile amabinzana. Ngubani othi umhambi kufuneka ahlale emzimbeni wabo omncinci? Kwindlela efanayo, kutheni le nto kufuneka ihlukumeze ingqondo ukuya kwinqanaba lokophuka, oko kuthetha ukuba kuphela sisidalwa esinokuziphilisa, njengoWolverine, esinakho ukwenza uhambo? Ezi ayisiyonyani inyani, kodwa ngamaqhekeza eentsomi atshintshekayo, abhalwe ukuze singabuzi ukuba kutheni umntu obhinqileyo ebhaliwe.
Ukufuduka kukaKitty luphawu lokungabikho kokumelwa kwabasetyhini kwiifilimu ezenziwayo. Akukho sizathu sokwenyani sokuba, ngesiphelo esincinci, ngekhe abenguye owoyisela uNjingalwazi X omncinci ngekamva elibi, elizayo. UWolverine akenzi nto emzimbeni uKitty ngokwakhe ebengenakufumana indlela yokuphuma, okanye ebengazukujongana nokubhalwa okwahlukileyo. Ngubani omnye obengathanda ukumbona uKitty, njengomfundi wexesha elizayo kaXavier, ebuyisela ithemba lakhe kuko konke okuhle aya kukufeza ngenye imini? Kodwa kwi UBryan Singer Uqikelelo lwe-X-Men, abalinganiswa bachazwa ngamandla abo, kwaye, ngenxa yoko banamandla kangakanani kummandla wenyama, hayi abo banemvakalelo. Indlela engafanelekanga kaWolverine yokwenza lo msebenzi idlalwa ngokuhlekisa, xa umlinganiswa okwaziyo ngokunyanisekileyo ukujongana nalo mbandela kunokuba kunjalo, ukuba akunjalo, ukusebenza.
Ukungabikho koqhankqalazo ebusweni benxalenye yomfazi kuncitshiswa, ngelishwa, akumangalisi. Kodwa akuzange kubekho sikhalazo ngokungabikho kukaKitty kwinyama yesenzo kuba akukho mntu uphoswa ngumlinganiswa angamaziyo. Oku kwakungafuneki ukuba kunjalo. Senze simkhathalele, kwaye ngewayengoyena ndoqo kugxilwe kuye kwifilimu, ngawo onke amanyathelo afanelekileyo okuyithwala njengebhlokbhuloli yehlobo. Uluvo lokuba abaphulaphuli babengenakunxibelelana naye sisizathu phakathi kwabaninzi esithintela abalinganiswa abanjengaye ekubeni bakwazi ukuthatha izintso. Yiyo yonke into abayiyo, nangona kunjalo; izizathu ezisekelwe kuloyiko. Uloyiko lokulahlekelwa yimali, uloyiko lokuba ifilimu ayizukuphumelela ukuba umfazi ngowona mntu uphambili kuye, kule meko, yeyona arhente ininzi. Nangona kunjalo, kaninzi-rhoqo kwi-ofisi yeebhokisi, siyabona ukuba abantu basetyhini abanokwazi ukuphatha imiboniso bhanyabhanya kuphela, kodwa banokwenza oko ngempumelelo enkulu. Khawufane ucinge X2 , I-blockbuster mega hit apho uJean Grey noStorm babenexesha elingaphezulu kwescreen kunokuba uMystique, oyena mfazi ubalaseleyo kule filimu, esenza apha. Kuninzi kakhulu kwi-X-Men kuneWolverine kunye nabalinganiswa bangasemva abanamandla akhanyayo kunye nemigca embalwa. Kwiklasikhi eyaziwayo kwezentlalo yamagorha, ukuvumela abasetyhini bathathe ukhokelo oluphambili lelinye idabi abasalilwile.
