Logan Does the events of "Logan" ruin "Days of Future Past" for you?

[GuestStar2004]

Who cares, just enjoy the ride and see where everything heads.

 

[terry78]

Hell, Logan is close to a century and a half old, he had a good run.

 

[psylockolussus]

Could you not enjoy Rogue One even though you knew they were going to succeed at getting the plans?

Unlike Star Wars, the stories aren't just set in the past from now on? What's the Last Jedi of the X-Men? Surely not Supernova. Plus Rogue One is an unology.

 

[psylockolussus]

Yes, because the audience is clearly indicative of your tastes.

I've already disproved your underperforming prequel theory, which you never bothered responding to but I have to ask, do you get pleasure out of coming in wholly negative into a thread just to bash the series? At this point, people can guess what you're going to say when they see your avatar and it usually goes something like "But muh original cast... something something something underperforming prequel". We get it. You don't like the series, how about you try to add something constructive to the situation and if you believe you are, try rephrasing it because nobody else is seeing it that way.

Show me the box office receipts when Supernova hits the theatre and we'd talk.

Logan was a fantastic movie, no doubt.

But yes, it kind of ruins DOFP for me. To find out that they all died barely 6 years later from a combination of Xavier and the Reavers just reminds me of Hank's quote in DOFP when he talks about the river righting itself if a rock is thrown in it. We know how it all ends now and it's not happy.

 

[psylockolussus]

They are not destined for a happy ending.

 

[kasjan]

No, we have Cable who can change anything.
But there wasn't explain why mutants doesn't born since 25 years, and why Logan is so weak.

Its not actually that much different with what disney are doing, they are making star wars movies set at all different times

I don't quite get this sentiment. I prefer the DoFP ending myself, hell I'd even want an entire film set in that setting since it's the few times the Foxverse X-men felt like actual X-men from the comics/toons, but neither film takes away from the other for me. To me Logan is it's own thing so I treat it as completely seperate. Plus if that doesn't work for you there's always the fact that Fox never cared about continuity and there probably be another reboot soon enough given their track record so far.

 

[kbrooksgohan]

That also annoys me. At the end of DOFP we finally got a film with ALL the X-men together and it felt like the comics. I want to see a film where the originally X-men all come back and face a threat. In costume and with their comic book personalities. They have yet to fully nail everyone. They ruined Cyclops,Storm and a few others.

For me Logan is just an alternate history. I want X-23 but I'm not OK with him dying in that universe. So cliche. I didn't even cry I just rolled my eyes. I would have found him staying with her and having a renewed purpose to be more impactful.

Despite how much time he actually had.

 

[Angelus_Darko]

For me this movie is Mangold saying to Singer: "So... you deleted my last movie? Fine, I will make it again! With curse words and violence!"

In the process he ruined DOFP for me... the whole saga, actually.

 

[Mjölnir]

Fox X-Men doesn't seem to care about continuity whatsoever so this can just as well be seen as yet another timeline if one wants. If Fox decides to use the future in some capacity in another movie I have no doubt that it will clash with what's in this movie.

So no, it doesn't bother me. I've just accepted how things are.

 

[Shadow Scars]

It ruins it for me in the sense that DOFP gave us such a perfect happy ending and here only a few years later it's all gone to hell.

 

[Stan Lee]

No, because it ties into Beast's theory in DOFP about how some things are just meant to be.

 

[marcvader]

I see Logan as an alternate future/stand alone so no it didn't ruin anything for me.

 

[DACrowe]

Hell, Logan is close to a century and a half old, he had a good run.

Actually wasn't he born in the 1840s? He's pushing 190 by the time he clocks out then.

As far as we know only a few X-Men died. Since there are dozens by the end of DOFP, we don't know who, it is not as apocalyptic as some are making out. What seems to have happened is they closed Xavier's school, which has happened plenty of times in the comics too. The X-Men can definitely rebound even without Charles or Logan, and the ambiguity of who died and where the rest are is leaving the door open for exactly that.

 

[kguillou]

I choose to see this as an epic epilogue to DoFP. DoFP finished the Xmens story with a "The End." You could put the book down at that point. OR. You coud turn the page and read that extra chapter that adds a little bit extra to the story but you could ignore it if you want to.

Or just treat it like The Dark Knight Returns or, Heck, the original Old Man Logan comic. A what if story about the end of Wolverine and the Xmen.

 

[danoyse]

Same. Just like the Old Man Logan comic...dystopian future, all the X-Men were dead. Very similar to that.

Doesn’t mess up DOFP for me at all.

 

[Spider-Fan]

This says mutants have become rare, but not extinct. I think we can show a legacy virus type thing happening and killing off a fair part of the population and still have the X-Men rebound and comeback. It says 7 died, but we do not know of the X-Men only had 7, and at that, someone else could carry the mantle.

I can see where DoFP doesn't work now to some, but I do think they can co-exist. Plus like some said, maybe X-Force and Cable can prevent this.

That said, loved this movie.

 

[AlluAllu]

I don't like that Logan erased DOFP's happy ending, but I can accept it.

But imo they should stop making X-Men movies after this. They're all going to be noncanon or prequels or something. It's time to give it a rest and reboot in 10 years with good old present day X-Men adventures.

 

[psylockolussus]

Its actually a good time to do a reboot now. While Deadpool can continue to do its own thing. Then when the X-Men the reboot is released in the early 2020s, they could finally cross over with Deadpool and the X-Force.

 

[Double B]

I wouldn't say it's ruined the ending of DOFP. I could hardly be annoyed at Logan having such a fitting, final ending but it does make me think that this is maybe now the time to reboot? I'm not sure the future lies in period pieces wherein we alt edgy know the conclusion and luckily Deadpool is exactly the type of character that can survive and thrive despite his cinematic universe being rebooted because that's the kind of fourth wall breaking character he is.

While DOFP is an awesome movie, and X2 is probably my favorite out of all the X-Men movies, I'm still mad at Singer because he just absolutely refuses to put in Gambit, and I also don't like what he has done with Storm and Rogue. He really drops the ball on the characters that are not Wolverine, Magneto, Mystique or Xavier.

Fox is quite short sighted with the X-Men films that they are doing. So as long as the money is coming in, they won't push the reboot button even if the likes of New Mutants and Supernova underperform. We will see though if the events of this film would affect the audience's interest to more prequel films.
