Yes, the Emma stuff is just a weird thing but it isn't a continuity error. The other things are continuity errors that fans will create headcanons to fix them. Obviously the backstory of Xavier in the original trilogy was written very differently than what we got in First Class and DoFP. And DoFP is obviously in the same timeline as First Class, because it is a sequel to that film.
If we are to put them in the same timeline we have to admit that it is a retcon, there is no other official explanation. We have to ignore that Xavier says that he met Eric at 17 and that he helped him build Cerebro. Those things got retconned (if they are on the same timeline). I personally don't like that, so I separate First Class from the early films' timeline, but it is not official, like those explanations of the continuity errors.
(Another thing, Jean Grey's age is also different in the new films. She was born in 1967 according to Dark Phoenix, but in TLS she looks very young for a 19-year-old. Logan couldn't possibly change her birthday by traveling to 1973, so it is either a continuity error or an actress that looks younger than what she is supposed to look, like Charles in Dark Phoenix).

Aa far as Eric helping (re)build Cerebro, we see this happen in Dark Phoenix. Surely something similar could have happened in the original timeline, after the Beast-built version was damaged.

As far as Jean's age in the TLS flashback, I've got two possible explanations. #1 the scene takes place in 1983, not 1986. Fan retcon. Back on page 4 of this thread I made that observation, and also a similar one to what Pro Bot said about the ages of Charles (and most everyone else), but also included the actor's age in parenthesis if different.

1983: Age 39
2029: Age 85 (43)

The other possible fan explanation for Jean's age was found in A Bit of Everything's youtube video:





What do you guys think?

 

[Pro Bot]

The X-Men films are set in the 2000s because the 25 moments website places TLS in 2006.

 

[marioxb]

Well then TLS flashback is 1983. Everything fixed.

 

[Pro Bot]

It's set 20 years before 2006, therefore 1986. She's just a really young looking 19 year old for me.

 

[Regsta]

It could be 25 years ago, rounded to 20 years ago, which make the TLS flashback in 1981, with a 14 years old Jean Grey (the young Jean Grey actress from The Last Stand was born in 1992, she had 14 years old in 2006).

[selfishmisery]

I'm one to overthink, but y'all REALLY overthinking this.

Mutant aging is just warped in the XCU. That is all.

Compatible with the Wolverine Origins game?

 

[Pro Bot]

I would think so, yeah. Size difference aside.

 

[selfishmisery]

I would think so, yeah. Size difference aside.

I mean

 

[Pro Bot]

Yeah, it's not really a problem at all. Just wanted to note it.

 

[selfishmisery]

Logan is like Mario. Gets hit too much and loses a foot in height.
Booze is his 1UP

 

[Regsta]

I was rewatching X-Men (2000), then i have a question: How did Magneto know about Rogue and her power?

I think Erik asked Caliban to find a mutant, who had the same power as Rogue, then he learned about Rogue, he learned about her, her powers, etc and started his plan with the machine that makes humans become mutants, so he sent Sabretooth to follow Rogue. Xavier then located Sabretooth with Cerebro, after meeting Erik in the senate, Xavier knew that Erik was planning something and that Sabretooth is one of Magneto's henchmen, so he sent the X-Men after him, when the X-Men found Sabretooth, they ended up finding Logan and Rogue.

 

[marioxb]

It's set 20 years before 2006, therefore 1986. She's just a really young looking 19 year old for me.

Yeah and Homecoming is "8 years later" from Avengers... lol. Things can change.

 

[BabyBomber]

Compatible with the Wolverine Origins game?

Based if so. But is the GBA version of the Official Game with Laura compatible?

 

[Pro Bot]

I would try and fit the X2 and TLS adaptations in, but I feel that it would contradict the timeline of the prequel comics. Also, the X-Men Origins: Wolverine game has its own DoFP Sentinel future as well.

 

[BabyBomber]

I like the idea of an "Adaptation Timeline" with Origins' Flashforward as its equivalent to DOFP

 

[Pro Bot]

Regarding No Good Deed's timeline, it is hard to see, but the in-universe Logan poster is this one.

That suggests that the fictional version of Logan released on March 3rd, so No Good Deed is probably also set in March 2017. Obviously, this is funny because No Good Deed takes place in serveral universes including the one where Logan occurred, and there's an in-universe film that's supposed to be Logan (2017) that released 12 years before the events of that movie took place. Obviously, the in-universe Logan movie must depict unseen fictional events, not the real potential future it is heading in.

 

[Rogers616]

I know it's not connected to anything but for the sake of completion of all X-Men Live Action properties do you want Mutant X here? I have it for y'all if you do...

 

[gerosuprastyles]

I vote yes

 

[selfishmisery]

Proof that Alioth missed that spot where the enemy corpses and the other Marvel allies were.

 

[Pro Bot]

I know it's not connected to anything but for the sake of completion of all X-Men Live Action properties do you want Mutant X here? I have it for y'all if you do...

Wouldn't Generation X make more sense to include, since it uses the X-Mansion that was later used in the film series and, well, actually has the X-Men license?

 

[Rogers616]

Wouldn't Generation X make more sense to include, since it uses the X-Mansion that was later used in the film series and, well, actually has the X-Men license?

Yes, Generation X would make more sense to include. Mutant X tries and succeeds at not referencing ANYTHING X-Men licensed other than the rough concept of Mutants (and New Mutants). But the show was official and had official Marvel Comic Book tie-ins.

If you are considering the X-Men timelines/universes as a tree I would say Mutant X would fit in somewhere near a rotted-out branch but still fits lol. I really don't mind if you do not want to include it here as it doesn't fully have a spot here and I get that 100% (especially after rewatching it these past weeks...ugh). I would likely post it as its own individual thread if nothing comes of it here.

Anything pre-Blade or Hasslehoff Nick Fury 1998 ain't going here.

In case you're wondering, the Mutant X TV series takes place on Earth-704509, per Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z #5

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

 

[selfishmisery]

Anything pre-Blade or Hasslehoff Nick Fury 1998 ain't going here.

And Mutant X doesn't count. It's in the "Marvel-but-not-really" bin with Men in Black / Millarverse / Powers / Night Man / Solar Man and those short film VHS tapes of Malibu sh*t.

In other words, not MCU adjacent.

 

[Rogers616]

In case you're wondering, the Mutant X TV series takes place on Earth-704509, per Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z #5

Yeah, although they do wipe through a couple of alt timelines which are referenced as different universes and the comic origin shouldn't be in 704509 (Database Issue) since it directly contradicts the show.

Anything pre-Blade or Hasslehoff Nick Fury 1998 ain't going here.

And Mutant X doesn't count. It's in the "Marvel-but-not-really" bin with Men in Black / Millarverse / Powers / Night Man / Solar Man and those short film VHS tapes of Malibu sh*t.

In other words, not MCU adjacent.

Yeah you and I are in agreement that a couple of properties after Blade/Hasselhoff are still a no-go (like Man-Thing etc) and the same thing with any imprint shows.

Sounds good.. like I thought y'all wouldn't want it here (especially since Marvel missed its shot here to connect it if it wanted to in D&W) but thought I would ask anyway!
