One being that Charles shouldn’t be in his own body, it was destroyed after all. While this is hard to believe, the clues were there but that leads to other questions. This would have allowed Charles to continue to exist and thus survived the attack. The assumption was that Charles Xavier was able to mentally project his consciousness into someone else, likely someone who was in a coma. However, even X-Men: The Last Stand couldn’t live with that decision and included a tag that clearly implied that Charles Xavier survived the attack. In fact, saying that he died is taking it lightly. Most people will remember that Charles Xavier died in X-Men: The Last Stand. Thankfully for the creators, the majority of the issues actually called in to questions events that occurred in the films that are no longer part of the main story line. While some of the issues are more logic issues, many others call in to question prior events. Another result of that are various continuity issues. For the first time, the movies are beginning to feel a bit more like the comics in that one of the comic events are spurring massive changes, but that means turning other things on their head. The rest are just a series of potential events or events which exist in an alternate time line. Yes, every other film is now gone, including last summer’s The Wolverine. The only films that are now relevant and contribute to the ongoing story lines are now X-Men First Class, and X-Men Days of Future Past. The result of wiping clean the events of one movie and also means that they brought down all of the other films in the process, three of which ranged from decent to really good. Nothing worked better than adapting the Days of Future past story line which essentially brings us in to an alternate timeline, though the movie suggests that the prior future was merely erased. In the process, that meant wiping clean the previous slate. There were so many things in those two films that went awry that it made sense that those who where retaking the helm wanted to fix everything that went wrong. X-Men Days of Future Past was a way to rectify all the missteps that were made in X-Men: The Last Stand and even in some ways X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
