Let's face it - the continuity in Fox's X-Men movies doesn't make a lot of sense. You have dead characters returning to life with little or no explanation, drastically different versions of the same character appearing across multiple films and major plot points that are conveniently ignored later down the road. It's almost as if Fox didn't have this massive superhero franchise entirely mapped out from the beginning.
If Logan proved anything, it's that continuity is hardly the most important aspect of a good superhero movie. Even so, it's fun to look back at the past 17 years' worth of X-Men movies and point out many of the glaring plot points and inconsistencies. And yes, we know Days of Future Past rebooted the timeline in some vague, not clearly defined way, but we're still pretty sure most of these gaffes don't add up regardless. Check out our extensive list below (but beware of spoilers for Logan!):
Fox will have ample opportunity to complicate X-Men continuity even further in the years to come, as the studio is developing new sequels and spin-offs like X-Men: Supernova (rumored title), The New Mutants and Deadpool 2. Then there's the upcoming TV series Gifted, which will apparently tie in directly to the movies. Gifted revolves around a family joining an underground mutant network after the parents discover their children have special powers.
