What with his nickname being Apocalypse, you’d think En Sabah Nur would understand the role he’s supposed to play in the latest X-Men film. Though his plan is never entirely clear, there’s a basic understanding that he’s generally going to wipe out the human race, cleanse the Earth and start over, presumably getting Magneto to build loads of those weird metal temples on the ashes.

It makes perfect sense, then, when Apocalypse manipulates all the world’s silo and sub personnel to fire their nukes – Apocalypse wants to kill everyone, so why not wipe them out using nuclear armageddon? Only, for some reason, Apocalypse instead fires the Earth’s payload into space, thus saving humanity from the nuclear threat for good, confusingly suggesting that he might secretly be some kind of peace-loving anti-nuker, rather than the villain we all suspect.
