Apocalypse These Timelines Are So Confusing. Continuity Errors.

[CyclopsSummers]

If you just let the ages of characters go (and you should) all of the other 'mistakes' could very easily be explained. It's just that they didn't always bother to do that. Something something ripples of time travel works for me.
First Class -> Origins -> X1 -> X2 -> X3 -> The Wolverine -> DOFP
First Class -> DOFP -> Apocalypse -> Deadpool -> Wolverine 3
Nothing else matters.

Bravo

It's simple:

First timeline

Origins (1979), X1 (2004), X2 (2004), X3 (2005).

Then a mutant travels back to the past, say 1913. He alters the timeline.

Second timeline

First Class (1962), Revised Origins, Revised X1/X2/X3, The Wolverine (2013), DOFP (2023).

Then Wolverine travels back to the past of the second timeline.

Third timeline

First Class (1962), DOFP (1973), Apocalypse (1983), Deadpool (2016), New Future (2023), Wolverine 3(?).

I dont undrstand why 3 timelines. Whats that unknown mutant who did timetravel. This is individual supposition

Pretty nifty timeline thing

Villains timeline's dates are ...... malwares

Origins is canon. It belongs to Timeline Prime A. Without Timeline Prime A, you wouldn't get Timeline Prime B (First Class, Wolverine, DOFP). Without Timeline Prime B, you wouldn't get Timeline Sigma (DOFP, Apocalypse).

"Zero Event" and "Unknown", just two names I thrown in there. Someone went back in time and changed the timeline much earlier than the events of "First Class".

LOL.

You threw it in there? Therefore, you made it up?

Origin contradicts X1 when they have two different Sabretooth and in X1 Wolverine didn't even recognize his "brother". That's a plot hole that was never explained.

X-Men films could really benefit from a straight up reboot. Modern day, new cast, new take. No worries about messed up continuity

That worked out well for the Amazing Spider-Man. :/

Amazing Spider-Man was great and much better than SM3, which preceeded it. The new cast and plot was refreshing when it debuted

 

[GuestStar2004]

I much preferred the ASM to the whole raimi trilogy, it had its flaws but even then i still preferred it to the raimi trilogy.

 

[X-Maniac]

where did you get this info from?

She was credited as 'Young Raven Aged 10' in that 1944 sequence when young Xavier found her rummaging in the kitchen cupboards.

I meant your half rate aging theory

 

[Mutant 77]

Or maybe Mystique was referring to an "adventure" she experienced when she was 18, before FC?

Not a plothole at all.
Creed underwent a secondary mutation/alteration and became Sabretooth.
Wolverine had lost his memory at the end of Origins.

The first amazing spider-man film is actully my favorate spider-man film.it's
also rewritng of history that everyone hated it.It has 73% on RT and made money.yes ASM2 is very flawed.still i like it more than Spider-man 3.and
yes i prefer first 2 rami films over ASM2.

Nope

 

[Mutant 77]

Nope

Yeah but we must fix this.
Or we can pretend Raven was lying to Jean.
Or maybe his mind also is younger than her actual age.

Hank explains it in X-Men First Class after examining her blood/tissue... It's said quite clearly on screen in the frickin' film, lol... Please get a clue!

You need to get a clue. Hank specifically talks about Mystique's cells, not her state of mind. Her mind most definitely does not age at half the rate like her body does.

"Hank McCoy: [to Raven] You got to see this. Your genes are extraordinary, you know that? Your cells age at half the rate of a normal human. When you're forty, you'll still have the leukocytes of a teenager. You have the most incredible cell structure I've ever seen."

Really? Calm down. Excuse me for not remembering some line from a film released 5 years ago

 

[Donner]

He's wrong.

My original argument referred to her physical age, and on that point I am correct.

We just don't know how much her psychological ageing is different - it's complicated enough in real life to determine and defy causes of ageing, let alone a comic book movie, lol.

So I'm not sure where you are pulling this 'most definitely' thing from.

I don't think she ever seems to act like she is a similar age to Xavier and Magneto.

No. On the previous page you said she looked/acted half her age.

In actual years, Mystique was 28 at the end of X-Men: First Class (she was aged 10 in the 1944 opening sequence as an intruder in Xavier's house) but she ages at about half the normal rate... So she would appear/act around 14.

Mystique doesn't act the same age as Charles and Magento because she's not the same age (despite that clear oversight of having her as 10 years old in 1944). She's clearly meant to be younger. Again, the writers ignored the math.

She told Jean she was around her age on her first mission. That puts her at 18-20 in FC and not 30.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

we don't know how long she was on her own for before Xavier found her and took her in, but, she was most likely uneducated (she even mentioned "being afraid to go to school as a child" in x1) an emotionally neglected, so she would probably only consider her intellectual/emotional development to start at that point in her life... an Xavier could only teach her so much before farther educating himself which is why he always seemed more mature then her


which would speak to her state of mind being that of a teenager (even if she was technically physically older) at the time of those events

 

[Donner]

That's a horrible excuse. She's not emotionally stunted and acting like a teenager when she's almost 30. Ridiculous.

So Xavier is capable of teaching himself but Mystique isn't? And does that just keep continuing for the rest of her life?

"Uh yeah she's physically 40 years old, but she's doing jello shots off of someone's belly button because she's mentally only 20." Come on.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

unlike her, who was probably abandoned as a child and left to fend for her self (hence breaking into houses to steal food) he was giving a top notch education...

I wasn't suggesting he taught himself, I was suggesting he continue schooling to educate himself

an in many way he never let her develop to the point of surpassing him/ or even being his equal

 

[Donner]

I don't buy it. I think the writers just screwed up (intentionally or otherwise).

 

[Drizzle]

Not sure if this is a timeline problem, but just how did Wolverine end up at Alkali Lake this time? As we saw at the end of DOFP, that wasn't actually Stryker who pulled him out of the water, but Mystique. So what the hell happened there? Did she set him free and just get caught up in a turn of events that led him to become Weapon X anyway?

It was clearly abandoned completely for this story. I was actually a bit miffed at that. For all the course correction DOFP did, the very same writers are still ignoring/contradicting events in their own stories.

 

[Donner]

The ending of DOPF would have been way better had it not been Mystique as Stryker. It made zero sense for her to pull Wolverine out of the water. How would she even know he was there? And they didn't even meet. It was like some writer just plucked that idea out of the sky without a moment of even thinking what it would mean.
