The thing is though is that the comics seem to be split on how drowning would actually handle Wolverine. In the X-Men comics, most of the characters theorize that drowning and cutting off the oxygen flow to brain for a long enough period of time is enough to put an end to him.

While in other comics, this was attempted and it was shown that his healing factor kicked in and drew in oxygen via his skin which in turn kept him alive long enough to recover.

As well, just to add – he's had most of his face blown off after taking a shotgun blast point-blank from the Punisher and still lived.

On another note Raven is very very important to the Canon and is Rogues adoptive mother and uses her to take Ms Marvels powers.

If you want an explanation for the current continuity here it is. The events of X-men 1 and 2 still took place, but Beast never continued his research into the anti-mutant serum. Therefore the anti-mutant serum that was the catalyst for all of the events in X-3 could never be developed. The only real issue here is Jean Gray, who must have survived the end of X-2 somehow.

Really? Or whatever his name is? They continually call him Charles in literally every X-Men movie there is, including repeatedly in the one you're writing about.

Main issue on here is Quicksilver is Magneto's son (the reference of his mum knowing someone with this power once gave a nod to this) I am guessing Magento doesn't know about his son, but the ages of the characters here seem to blurr this point.

Also there is no indication of Mystique having a child (but Azazel is dead) and Mystique and Azazel have a child (also known as NightCrawler)

I think Magneto did not pick the stadium for no reason as the stadium he lifted in the movie is JFK stadium. If you recall in the movie earlier, Magneto was explaining his fail attempt to rescue JFK from being assassinated and that JFK was one of their own. My theory is that the government found out JFK is a mutant and thus a threat, therefore ordered him to be assassinated. Magneto found out about it and attempt to stop it but obviously failed. His use of stadium to corner the White House is obviously symbolic and trying to remind the politicians that they are responsible for JFK's death. Also, since the sentinal program is broadcast internationally, maybe he is trying to use that opportunity to hint the world that the government is the one who murdered JFK but not him. After watching the movie and going back to the promotional material released previously about the Bent Bullet , I don't Magneto's choice of stadium is random.

Wolverine had admantium claws in the future because he had already gone through the weapon x program. Stryker found wolverine regardless of the past or present. This time it was probably a little earlier.

The I had is same with any ensemble cast. Character development took a back seat.

Quicksilver and his sister, interestingly enough are so far the only characters to crossover the studio lines. They will be in the next Avengers movie also. Just not played by the same people and sadly with different back stories.

Actually the movie goes out of its way to clarify that it considers X3 canon. There's flashback scenes from X3 as well as an appearance from Kelsey Grammer as older Beast. Not to mention, Logan's reaction when he sees both Jean and Scott alive. That's exactly why it's puzzling that they then decide to not explain how Professor X is still alive in the original future timeline.

Also people really need to stop being soft about this and that being "too grim." The holocaust and prejudice in general are at the fundamental core of X-Men. Just like the concentration camp scene in the original movie is about the only representative aspect of the source material's true potential to be gripping.

Majorly here, we never see Wolverine's claws in the "fixed future." He wakef up and sees everybody alive again and then encounters Charles in his study. No claws are seen…at all. Combined with the Mystique-is-Stryker final image (which I also think you guys missed as it is never mentioned), I think this makes for an interesting Apocalypse set-up, especially with Jackman being the only original cast member signed on to the 1980's-set storyline. Not showing Wolvy's claws in the future opens up possibilities for the storyline. I'm sure they'll find a way to get the metal claws back, but it's be fascinating for the Weapon X ordeal to go down very differently in the movie continuity. Again, doubt they'll go that route, but the option is there.

Also, this is obviously as personal tick, but as a massive fan of Jennifer Lawrence, I don't think she's Mystique whatsoever. Rebecca Romijn is Mystique, and JLawr doesn't do anything with her performance that makes me believe that she'll grow up into that version of Mystique. Lawrence isn't ruthless enough, Romijn had a strange sarcastically evil vibe to her, which made sense. Lawrence is Katniss Everdeen through and through, the fact that she remains a huge part of this ensemble is just luck. But yes, I'm sure she hates her shooting schedule.

Honestly, I loved this film to no end. Just before you write these articles you gotta check some facts because you might be nitpicking things that aren't actually existant problems or have defined answers (i.e. Apocalypse's post-credits scene).
