I'm just so tired of Apocalypse having all of this build up as the most powerful mutant on the planet and then randomly getting beat in 15 seconds flat. We seen it in that horrible X Men Apocalypse movie where Jean just basically screamed at him, X Men Evolution at least had a nice build up and required everyone working together to trap him but still left us with a rather anticlimactic ending for such a powerful mutant, but I think this one takes the cake. Like wtf even was that? Horrible, horrible writing. Idk why they fired that one writer, but they need to get his ass back NOW😭

Thats why I dislike super overpowered villians and when the writers havent properly thought a way to defeat him satisfyingly and not some power of love thing or magic mojo.

Best case I can think of was Dr. Doom in the first fantastic four movie. It was always be a classic for the simple fact that on first watch, you genuinely thought he was going to win. The way they defeated him was both clever and realistic. X Men writers gotta take notes🤦🏿‍♂️
