Wojo 2,453 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 DOFP does not undo the events of the first films. Otherwise, wouldn't Logan and Rogue be sent back to the Canadian wilderness, instead of hanging out at the X house? It just massages out the fucked up parts to give future sequels a happier continuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The conceit is probably that everything after DOFP that we saw took place is an alternate timeline or timelines that no longer exist.Doesnt explain why Trask was black in X-Men 3 though.

nightscape94 965 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 My belief here is that it took 30 years to prefect the Sentinels, so in the original timeline they weren't ready until after the events of X3. The only reason we saw the prototypes in DAFP is because Trask lived and was able to scare congress to fund the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,017 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yeah, exactly. Besides, nobody quite knows what happened to those prototypes in the original timeline. Remember that everything that transpired in the final act was because of the time travel thing. Who knows what was the case in the original timeline.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Because when The Last Stand came out, Fox and Brett Ratner weren't worried about continuity, ie how this film would affect future films. Bill Duke, a black man, was cast as a man named Secretary Trask. Was this supposed to be Bolivar Trask? Apparently IMDB and Wikipedia don't give this man a first name, so I don't know. Chalk it up to this movie shoehorning in too many characters and name drops. The critical reception to this and Origins Wolverine likely led Fox to reboot the franchise with FC, which then became a prequel when DOFP made both timelines mingle. When it came time to cast DOFP, which softened much of the damage caused by The Last Stand, Bryan Singer was a fan of Dinklage in Game of Thrones and decided to cast Bolivar Trask using the little white man instead of asking Duke to return.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 There is nothing wrong continuity wise with X-Men 3. It doesn't contradict the previous 2.The continuity started to go get screwed up in Origins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 No, X3 doesn't contradict the prior movies, but that's why I put in the ie coda in my sentence. X3 painted the franchise into a corner by killing Xavier, Scott, Jean, and declawing Magneto. Making Jean have the Phoenix buried in her psyche doesn't really contradict anything either, since we it wouldn't have been discussed openly earlier since it was assumed to be under control. Her strenuous "death" at Alkali Lake messed that up. I suppose the timing of Charles and Magneto amicably visiting her as a child, when they should have been fighting as seen later in FC, could be seen as problematic, but I envision the friendship and enmity going in cycles for years. Big deal. Origins, as a prequel, improved the relationship between Sabretooth and Logan, but that contradicted the character established and killed in X-Men. It also messed with how Charles gets some of the mutants from Project X, and puts him back on hi feet, which FC then contradicts. The entire saga is botched because Fox didn't have a plan from the start. Which only served to inspire Marvel to make a plan for The Avengers and all its dozens of supporting movies. It's a shame because on the whole, the X-Men franchise could have been richer. My original point was that I think you can safely assume that black Trask and little white Bolivar Trask are not the same character. If you can't assume that, then DOFP must really really suck.
