X-Men: Days of Future Past (UPDATE: Final trailer)

It's all erased with time travel shenanigans anyway. Really though, how the fuck does that all fit together?

Also, if the next movie is going to done with the First Class lot, there's not going to be much tension is there? We know that practically everyone is alive in the new future. Mystique could die I suppose.

Well continuity wise, First Class would obviously still happen, and so would parts of Origins but the original trilogy, the second half of Origins and the entirety of The Wolverine has basically been scrubbed out. Pretty handy way of rebooting the franchise and still keeping the continuity intact.

It's a nice way of throwing away the scrambled mess of the old continuity, sure. It was just weird to see it confirmed that it was all a single continuity, because it really doesn't make sense. Hearing Xavier talk about how Mystique was like his sister, knowing it was the Xavier from X1-3, was extremely odd.

Also the fact that Mystique was apparently captured and experimented on decades before X1, but nothing came of it until sometime after X3 when suddenly Sentinels appeared. And she escaped was completely fine after the experiments too, despite all the other mutants dying.

I watched X2 the other day as well, and Magneto says he helped Charles build Cerebro, which is bollocks. And Striker looks so much younger in DoFP than he does in Origins. Although I thought he look far too old in Origins anyway, considering how he looked in X2.

The whole thing is fucked.
