Logan: 22 WTF Moments In Wolverine's Final Stand

21. Days Of Future Past Did Nothing

X-Men movies have a problem with their timeline, to say the least: the franchise is a mess of holes created by the convergence of two different timelines, which were gleefully married with no thought for what it would do to continuity.

Day Of Future Past was supposed to be the mender: bringing the timelines together to a fixed future point that was all happiness and restored relationships where nobody was dead and Nicholas Hoult grew up to be Kelsey Grammar and all was right with the world.
