About a month ago, I watched X-Men: Apocalypse. Around the beginning of the movie, there is a scene where the Star Trek episode "Who Mourns for Adonais" is playing in the background. Now, IMO, there is an interesting parallel between Apollo (the powerful being from the ST episode) and Apocalypse (the seemingly omnipotent mutant in X-Men): they are both very powerful; they want to bring order to humanity and bring them back to the ways of the past that they once ruled; they have big egos; they view themselves as gods; they demand that they be worshiped and disdain those who challenge their way of thinking and existing. In addition, I kind of saw an interesting parallel between the enterprise and its phasers blasting full throttle and Jean Grey's powers fully unleashed.
P.S. The special way that Professor X and Jean are able to communicate without Apocalypse being aware of it, reminds me of how the enterprise (via the efforts of Spock and Uhura) was able to find a clever way of communicating with Kirk without Apollo's knowledge.
