12 Stupidest Decisions Made By Characters In X-Men Movies

2. Calling Off All Anti-Mutant Programmes

There are many instances in Days Of Future Past that portray mutants as dangerous freaks with the potential to cause global catastrophe. The first example takes place at the Paris Peace Accords talk when Mystique nearly kills Trask. Following the scuffle between Mystique, Magneto and Trask the whole world becomes fearful of mutants. Which is no surprise considering the showy brawl that follows between Magneto and Beast. In full public view. The second occurs during the film€™s closing sequence as Magneto tries to assassinate Nixon and his cabinet for signing in Trask€™s Sentinel program. That€™s a rather diplomatic way of describing his manipulative stunt wherein he controls all of the Sentinels and behaves like a tyrannical dictator. But, when the world sees Mystique as she opts to not murder Trask, all of a sudden mutants are awesome. Alright, so she didn€™t kill anyone, but did the world also not see how long it took for her to be convinced? Her motives that day weren€™t to protect humans, or to maintain order. She was there to eliminate Trask. And Magneto? The mutant who tried to kill the President and loads of innocents with his actions? Free to kill another day now that all of the anti-mutant programs have been canned. It seems like the human contingent in Days Of Future Past suffer from the same malady as Memento€™s Leonard. The inability to recall anything recent. Yes, Mystique was talked down from murder. It doesn€™t make her Mother Teresa. Humans in the X-world should be very, very fearful indeed.
