Do I have to chose?!
I really think some are wanting this to be more complicated than It needs to be.With Bryan Singer directing we should look at this not just as sequel to First Class but his
previous X-Men films(X-Men/X2)
That approach can work with X-Men.With superman part of problem was those wanting a reboot and being closer to present Superman comics.And the fact so much time has passed.This was same approach he was going to take with Battlestar galactica when he and Tom Desanto were trying to launch a contunion of original series throw out Galactica
1980.Throwing out what doesn't work Is totally In line with Bryan Singer's past works.

That's completely the opposite of X-Men here, where they are trying to throw out whatever doesn't work (Last Stand, Origins) as a result of their own missteps, and eradicate it from existence through this plot device.
That sounds worryingly like Superman Returns (a follow-up to the best of the previous films) - and we all know how that turned out.
Yes, ignoring the "bad films" because the earlier films were so good is not a good idea.
Oh Jesus calling first Class a reboot again.
And what exactly will make Days of future past better by keeping The Last
Stand In contunity?
I'll say one thing. With all this time travel stuff, The Wolverine sure will be interesting in regards to how much they address the previous films (X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine in particular). Will they address that the latter film existed or are they going to pretend it never happened? How will that rumor of the [blackout]Jean Grey cameo[/blackout] pan out if true? And if Hugh Jackman joins X-Men: Days of Future Past, will it end up contradicting anything?
It may or may not be a tricky situation.
I think there's a good way for keeping The Last Stand in continuity, it just how they will handle the story. But it seems like Bryan Singer wants ignore X3 and Origins: Wolverine so he could continue what he originally wanted for X3. Who knows maybe after DOFP, we would get a movie about the Dark Phoenix again. They just have to accept the fact that Last Stand and Origins: Wolverine happened, they exist, a lot of people watched them, even though they sucked, they have to learn to move on. What if The Wolverine sucked and X-Men: Days of Future Past sucked? Are they gonna try to ignore them also? No, right.
They'll need another time travel yarn to undo the events of Days of Future Past and erase it from continuity.
And if that one doesn't work...
