10 Small Details That Could Ruin Upcoming Comic Book Movies

2. Failing To Fix The Muddled Continuity - X-Men: Apocalypse

There's no doubting the fact that X-Men: Days of Future Past was one of the best X-Men movies ever, but it did fail in one major regard: the time line department. Because - let's face it - the X-Men franchise is all over the place when it comes to continuity, and Bryan Singer's latest flick didn't exactly set the world on fire in its attempts to explain the scrambled narrative that clings (and consistently compromises) the X-Men movies. What we got in Days of Future Past, then, was a movie that tried to make sense of the franchise's garbled narrative inconsistencies... and somehow created a bunch more in the process. Granted, it might be difficult for Fox to craft a definitive sense of continuity nowadays (it might be too late), but it would certainly prove districting - and perhaps detrimental to this oft-brilliant series - should Apocalypse fail to fix or address them.
