    The X-Men movie timeline makes no sense

    By Matthew Martin
    | June 4, 2019
    Movie Blogs

    We’re entering the home stretch for Fox’s X-Men franchise. The series that kicked off a new generation of comic book movies has had its shares of ups and downs, and you can expect a pair of articles later this summer that explore those highs and lows; right now let’s consider the movie series as a whole. By the time the summer is over the X-Men franchise will have encompassed thirteen movies.

    And nothing about them makes any linear sense.

    Let’s dispense with a few films in that baker’s dozen: Deadpool 1-2 are technically “X-Men” movies but any continuity errors, timeline nonsense, or good old fashioned cinematic tomfoolery is overlooked since the titular character’s whole shtick is making fun of such things. Let’s also set aside the upcoming New Mutants movie. Instead, let’s just zero in on the six (soon to be seven) movies that make up the primary series and touch on the Wolverine solo films a little too.

    That means we’re looking at…

    2000’s X-Men

    2003’s X2

    2006’s X-Men III The Last Stand

    2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine

    2011’s X-Men: First Class

    2013’s The Wolverine

    2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past

    2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse

    2017’s Logan

    and 2019’s Dark Phoenix

    The series begins simply enough. The first movie is set in the “not too distant future” but it’s basically the year 2000. We meet Magneto and Xavier and learn they have some familiarity with each other. As a child Magneto (Erik Lehnsherr) survived the Holocaust, meaning he was born sometime in the 1930s. Sure enough, in the series’ modern-day Erik is around seventy years old and he looks every bit of it.

    X Men 2000 Famke Janssen Jean Grey Halle Berry Storm Patrick Stewart Professor Xavier James Marsden Cyclops Hugh Jackman Wolverine

    As the movies progress, Wolverine takes a starring role, and the climax of the second film is set at the research facility where he (as Weapon X) was experimented on. Jean Grey presumably dies at the end, though a phoenix is teased in the waters where she was thought to have drowned.

    In the next movie, Jean is back but is consumed by an evil personality that Xavier forced into her subconscious. We’re shown that in a flashback, with Xavier and Magneto working side by side. The scene is set in 1985 so apparently whatever riff they had either hadn’t happened yet or had been mended by this point. At the end of the movie, Xavier is dead but his consciousness is somehow transported into his brother who was brain-dead and in a coma or something. Okay.

    Due to X-Men III being a floating turd, the main-series took a break for a few years and returned in 2011 with a prequel set in the 1960s. We’re introduced to young Xavier and Erik, who discover each other and begin working together to find and help fellow mutants.

    So…apparently they knew each other for forty years by the time the first X-Men movie happened and according to X-Men III, they were at least allies for most of that time.

    Anyway, Erik and Charles part because of the whole MLK vs Malcolm X thing and that’s First Class. Fast forward to Days of Future Past which jumps the story forward ten years. That’s a heck of a time jump. We’re now in the mid-’70s, a decade before Charles and Erik are buddy buddy again and helping Jean. The movie also features the presumed end of the X-Men storyline, with a dystopian future where Sentinels rule the world.

    Let’s back up to the end of The Wolverine, which saw Logan stripped of his adamantium. The movie ends with Charles and Eric asking Logan for help with the Sentinel threat. So Xavier is…not dead? That just happened off screen I guess? According to the ending of X-Men III, he should be some other dude and not just…Charles again.

    Also, the Sentinel threat is teased in 2013 and by 2023 (ten years later) they have taken over the world and nearly wiped out all mutants. And I know I said “no Deadpool” but Deadpool 1-2 happen in the middle of that ten-year span and there’s not a hint of any sentinel threat, though I guess you can argue the time-travel stuff saved the timeline. Okay. The 1970’s portion of the movie ends with an unconscious Wolverine being rescued by William Stryker. We’re led to believe that’s the start of his time as Weapon X, despite how that would totally contradict the timeline of X-Men Origins, but swerve: It’s not really Stryker; it’s Mystique who rescues him.

    The next movie is set in the 1980s as the team faces off against a powerful mutant from thousands of years ago. Forget all that though, my problem here is two-fold. First, at one point, the team breaks into the Weapon X research facility and discovers the future Wolverine. Except wait: I thought Mystique saved Logan? Why is he suddenly back in Stryker’s lab?

    And speaking of Wolverine how did he get his adamantium back by the time of the future in Days of Future Past? That’s not a timeline headache, that’s just ignoring the movies.

    The second problem carries over into the next film, which is set in the 1990s.

    For those of you keeping score, that means Dark PhoeniX takes place only a few years before the original X-Men movie but features Jean Grey turning into the Phoenix about ten years before she does it in X2. It also features Jean visiting Erik ten years after he was supposed to have helped introduce her to Charles, though he seems to have no memory of that here.

    And then there’s the fact that the past four primary X-Men movies are each set in a different decade, and yet despite the fact that we’ve apparently jumped from 1963 to 1993, all of the actors still look the same as they did in 1963. This is Charles at the end of First Class in 1963…

    X Men First Class James Mcavoy Professor Charles Xavier 2

    And here he is in 1993.

    X Men James Mcavoy Professor Charles Xavier

    He’s bald, okay. That happened in the last movie, and that’s it.

    Here’s Erik in 1963

    X Men First Class Michael Fassbender Erik Lehnsherr Magneto

    Here’s Erik in 1993

    X Men Dark Phoenix Michael Fassbender Magneto

    Here’s Eric in 1999

    X Men 2000 Ian Mckellen Magneto

    That’s the Fox series in a nutshell.

    This summer marks the end of an era, but I’m more than ready for better storytellers to take the helm and guide the franchise to newer and better heights than ever before.

    We’ll have more X-Men coverage in the weeks to come.

    Stick around.

    Marvel Sucks at anything relating to a timeline. The Whole series went down the drain after the second movie. I was a Marvel fan but stopped being a faithful one after I saw that they wanted to make flassy and not story driven movies. Each of the movies must be watched as a standalone otherwise it’s just a mess. Even Avengers have big inconsistencies. I started watching the DC movies and it seems they keep a better track record when it comes to continuity. They also seem to be deeper better written movies, except for Man of Steel.

    Honestly, I figure it’s just another hero movie. I don’t take them too seriously and just assume I’m expected to suspend disbelief and fill in any plot holes along the way.

    Whilst I agree with you, some of the time jumps really are a bit ridiculous. However, I understand that the action and overall fight sequences are what the directors focus on in these films, so I don’t expect much more than that.

    It’s been some time since I’ve seen it, but I thought Professor X died from the chest wound inflicted by that Wolverine clone. They escaped, but Professor X succumb to the wounds and Logan buried him.

    In the comics Professor X died a bunch of times. He just always “got better” and came back. In the movie franchise, he was “killed” by Jean in The Last Stand, but like the article writer said, Xavier’s mind/spirit managed to enter his comatose twin’s body. I haven’t seen Logan, but it’s hard to imagine that anything or anyone could kill Professor X.

    I read a few of the comics and agree with a lot of what you said. It’s hard to wrap my mind around the timeline and how it’s possible for these things to make sense. I bet the studio never expected fans to pick up on the continuity problems.

    That’s true; he did die there. Now the timeline gets even more blurry, so I guess all we can do is enjoy the movies separately. We know the stories of the characters thanks to the previous films, but let’s not mind when something exactly happens. Maybe that will help us enjoy the movie a bit more.

    I’ll agree with you the word “continuity” loses meaning when considering all of these movies but honestly I don’t think that is even the worst problem for the franchise. The movies have been so lackluster since X2 that it is almost expected to be a paper thin demonstration of special effects and power dialogue that wows movie-goers just long enough to cash the ticket sales. When you consider the longevity of the comic books and their ability to weave literally 100’s of story lines and sometimes time lines together it is sad that a company like Fox was allowed to… Read more »

    Special effects are all these movies have going for them. Surely in 2019, that can’t be enough to woo audiences? Consider when Star Wars came out in 1978 – the special effects were considered phenomenal and wowed everyone. That makes sense. Well, it’s not 1978, so why are we still being wowed by visually stunning but relatively empty/shallow movies?

    It’s true. Not sure what it would take to really wow audiences these days. People don’t seem to actually want a lot of depth yet you hear criticism about it quite often. Maybe we can understand the concept of why a good story delivered by believable characters would be better but secretly crave all the CGI we can stomach.

    Age suddenly hits Eric so hard in that series of photos.

    Anyway, I wonder if the original comics are as messy as the movies. Sometimes we have one plot line wrapped and expanded (sequels, prequels, or even alternate reality), so it’s not always easy to see the timeline in a linear way. If I remember correctly, X-Men series has been very rocky from the start that it’s probably more a production issue.

    Who’s up for a reboot of the franchise?

    A reboot? Hasn’t there been a steady stream of new X-Men movies for like a decade now? Can you reboot something that never went away in the first place? 🙂

    We get a steady stream of new movies, yes, but when we try to put them all together, we see that the plot and timeline are too confusing to make sense. As Dark Phoenix kind of wraps up the current arc (or at least that’s how it works in the comics from what I read), I think we have a chance to start something new.

    Yeah, I agree with you on that point. Maybe they can start all over again and come up with something compelling. The first couple of X-Men movies were highly rated back in the day but they lost their magic along the way.

    Many fans are looking forward to that possibility. At least, we have The New Mutants coming up which is a spin-off with a new set of characters. As Disney and Marvel now have the rights to handle X-Men content, we’ll see what they can do. We can only hope for the best!
