The reason Mystique appears alive in "X1", "X2", and "X3" despite seemingly dying in "Dark Phoenix" is because the X-Men movie timeline was significantly altered by "X-Men: Days of Future Past", which introduced time travel, meaning the events of "Dark Phoenix" (set in the 70s) occur in a different timeline than the original trilogy where Mystique is alive and well.


Scott was in high school when he realized his powers. On the other characters it could be the alternate time line idea as well as not focusing on the earlier life events and instead developing characters at the age they are now.

Charles Xavier encounters a younger Wolverine while he is already established as a powerful telepath and leader, essentially recruiting him into a covert team, while in the "X-Men" series, their meeting happens much earlier in Xavier's journey as he is actively searching for mutants and discovering their powers, often finding them in more vulnerable or unaware situations, leading to a more gradual recruitment process.

Wolverine, the X-Men are initially shown fighting Wolverine because he is being controlled by the Weapon X program, which is trying to use his powers for destructive purposes, making him a threat to the team at that point; however, in later X-Men films, Wolverine becomes an ally and friend to the X-Men because he is eventually freed from Weapon X's control and chooses to use his abilities for good, aligning himself with the team's mission to protect mutants.

How is it that Raven/Mystique dies in Dark Phoenix, which takes place in the 70's, but then she is alive in X1, X2, and X3 (which takes place later in terms of time)?

How is it that none of the younger versions of Beast, Cyclops, Jean, Nightcrawler, etc. did not know Wolverine as kids?

How Charles Xavier met some of the younger version of the main-character mutants is different in Wolverine Origins than the X series.

Currently in the process of watching Deadpool and Wolverine. Didn't they fight each other in Wolverine Origins? And now they're teaming up? Like I said, very confused.

Off to the gym.

Got it. I had a hard time keeping track with some of the different events (I'm sure the sleep deprivation also played a factor). Now that I think about it, I believe Jean Gray died twice?

Seems like the writers/directors were like "Oops, just kidding. We want to go with another story line."

I'm wondering how Xavier (in his earlier days) couldn't reach out to Wolverine with Cerebro and having access to each mutant.

I was also wondering why Hugh Jackman only made cameo appearance in certain movies.

On a side note, Deadpool/Wolverine, a swing and a miss. I stopped watching about 30% into it and it seemed like the entire movie was created just to dog on Fox?
