Days of Future Past Cyke and Storm appearing on FC and DOFP

Do these Cameos even matter, though? They could easily just say "no, it wasn't them."

It really doesn't cause any problems. If that's the case, you should be complaining about Stan Lees cameos in all these movies and how he is always a different character in the same universes.

It's only overly analyzing fan boys who will complain about the continuity due to these half a second cameos.

Indeed. I wrote an excerpt on my "Fixes" section.

 

[Matt.S99]

There doesn't need to be any "fixes" though. They're split second cameos. They're not even worth a 1 minute explanation. They're cool little Easter eggs for people to say "oh hey cool! That character!" Not, "omg that character was 16 in that split second cameo that most people probably missed. That would make that character 50 now! OMG **** you Fox for ruining everything!!!!!!!!"

It was an Easter egg. And maybe Vaughn wanted to bring them in much sooner, he already ignored enough about the previous films. It would have been a reboot if they hadn't decided then to make it a prequel instead.

But it was a bad idea for an Easter egg because these things just cause too many problems.

It really was unnecessary since before the release of the movie they've said that those very characters are too young to appear as First Class.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Honestly, when FIRST CLASS came out, I wondered if maybe Xavier/Cerebro could sense Scott and Ororo through time in some capacity...

This basically. That's so easy to handwave. That wasn't even the "true" Cerebro. Xavier could have been sensing possibilities from a few years off.

... which contains many errors and it's not official.
25Moments is legit and contradicts Empire, of course.

Plus, I'm male. And you?

25Moments is legit and contradicts Empire

How?

 

[Mutant 77]

How?

Last Stand is set in 2006, not 2007. To begin with.

Empire made many errors: Jean was approached in 1986, 20 years before. Origins happened 15 years before X-Men.

 

[Matt.S99]

Just enjoy the movies and stop giving yourselves heart attacks over movie mistakes.

It doesn't have to be 15 years. That was just a guess that Xavier made when talking to Wolverine in X1.

And Empire says 'c. 2007' for X3. The c means 'circa' = around. So the 2006 mentioned on 25 Moments still fits with that.

Stop being argumentative. Your timeline is far less official than the one in Empire magazine.

 

[DigificWriter]

Supperhero: Empire Magazine would and could not not have taken the time to fabricate the information provided in that Timeline infographic, nor would they be so irresponsible to present it as Official if it were not.

I don't think it causes too many problems. The mainstream viewers won't care even if they noticed it and the producers would continue making more movies as long as they get their money back.

The only people who would have a problem with this are the fans of course, the people who like to nitpick every single and people who really cares about continuity.

As a fan, I would like Fox to release a Blu-ray collection of all the X-films without the Easter eggs, continuity errors and just unnecessary stuff.

This.

 

[psylockolussus]

I still think less continuity errors, the better. It reflects on the story-telling of the entire movie franchise. The movies might be good but if its full of inconsistencies, why even bother connecting them.

As long long long long time X-Men fan, long before the movies, I love continuity.

It doesn't have to be 15 years. That was just a guess that Xavier made when talking to Wolverine in X1.

Okay. For now, it's 1990 --- not 1979, 1981 or 1987. I will wait for Apocalypse and see by myself.

I'm having fun with this discussion, just remember we're fans and friends on this forum, okay?

I love continuity too.

Unfortunately, the X-Men movies were never made with a big, overall vision that was mapped out on a big wall chart. It was one film at a time, with different writers and directors coming in. Considering all that, they hold together pretty well.

It is difficult to make these films totally interconnected. Even Marvel Studios is straying from things now. Captain America: The Winter Soldier didn't acknowledge Coulson, Hawkeye, the AoS TV show, didn't show them trying to get Stark to help out, etc. It just told the story the directors wanted to tell, and they will try to join the dots later. It can feel forced, such as when Tony Stark suddenly became all neurotic in Iron Man 3 about the events of Avengers. These films all do the best they can to line things up.

Okay. For now, it's 1990 --- not 1979, 1981 or 1987. I will wait for Apocalypse and see by myself.

Of course, I'm just saying the 15 years isn't exact, it's just Xavier guessing how long Wolverine has been on the road. It's possible it was a longer or shorter period.

According to the Empire timeline, Origins was in 1987 and X1 in 'c. 2005', so it was about 18 years, not 15. That's not far out, is it?

 

[Matt.S99]

That's cool if you like continuity. I do to. But these movies, for the most part were done one at a time over the course of 15 years or so. It's not going to be perfect.

 

[DigificWriter]

Bryan Singer has gone on record stating that one of his goals for DoFP was to address and 'fix' what inconsistencies and continuity issues there were, and that is exactly what he's done according to everything that we know.

People don't really seem to want to believe what we do know and what it tells us about how he went about doing that, though.

Omg, this thread....
