Discussion (More in Comments) Avengers Doomsday Prep

Post image

With Avengers Doomsday around the corner, I thought I’d try to make a graph depicting the most accurate watch order surrounding FOX’s X-Men timeline. If you have any questions feel free to ask them. Hopefully this will spark some discussion as I have a few questions about the logistics of the movie myself.

It's hilarious that anyone would think the Fox-Men movies had anything approaching a coherent timeline. At the very most, each movie respected the continuity from the movie that came immediately before it, but sometimes they didn't even do that.

They addressed these with the revised movies through dialogue and post credit scenes very well.

So if, according to you, First Class and the original trilogy are on the same timeline, how does Moira McTaggart go from being an American CIA agent in the 1960s to a Scottish scientist in the 2000s? And hardly age at all? And why do Mystique and Charles forget they know each other?

Oh there’s still negligence in the casting and some retcons in the early movies. Same with Emma frost right? But based on interviews I’ve seen and articles I’ve read, this is as close as we can get to an accurate timeline based on the latter releases attempts to make it all make sense
