If anyone is willing to put the effort in, I'd appreciate someone telling me how old the X-men were in these films:
First Class
Age of Apocalypse
Dark Phoenix

By now shouldn't Erik and Charles start to resemble McKellen and Stewart more than Fassbender and McAvoy? And Lawrence Romijn?

I don't think we're supposed to question their ages at this point. They just expect us to go with it because it's a comic book movie. They never cared about even a shred of continuity, so why expect them to start now?
Seriously, would giving Fassbender some gray hair been that hard for them? He's 30 years older than he was in First Class, which would have given them a perfect excuse to make his character resemble his comic book character.

A Fassbender with gray hair would have gone a long way to making him look more in line with the Magneto that we know. I mean, they already shaved Xavier's head, why not make Erik's hair gray? |

Not by decades, or even a couple of years. Try a year and a few months at the most, as the Twin Towers are still standing in NYC in X1. |

Yes, and considering that the movies try to make effort to accurately represent the times instead of totally re-writing all major history they are set in it makes sense that the events of X-1 take place in late 2000/early to mid 2001. X-2 is 2003, The Last Stand is 2006, The Wolverine is 2013. |

At the end of X1 Wolverine left the mansion to head to the Weapon X base in Canada, in X2 we saw him reach the base and head back to the mansion. |

It doesn't really matter when the first three films took place or how far apart or closely they are spaced. The new DoFP timeline superceeds them. It is unclear if the events of X-Men 1 and 2 actually even happened. The events of X3 obviously did not happen because Wolverine did not kill Jean as he is not present for this version of the Dark Phoenix saga. He never met Jean or any of the other X-Men (formally). Never fell in love with her and never had to kill her. |

If anything, the events of X1 and X2 happen in DoFP and Apocalypse. The events of X3 happens in Dark Phoenix. So it seems they just pushed the timeline up by decades. |

Doesn't DoFP reset the timeline as far back as 1973? |

I don't think the timeline even matters anymore. Especially when Banshee dies before the timeline reset so Siryn is a clone/X-23 of Banshee? Angel is older than he should be. Meaning he was born before 1973. Same with Jubilee and Psylocke. If they were smart they would have explained time as a lake instead of a river. Throwing that stone in the water would have ripple effect in all directions. That way they can have an explanation for characters being different. And blame Kitty and Bishop for all the changes caused by their multiple time jumps. |

I've tried three times to construct a plausible Fox-Men timeline and it's virtually impossible. This series is fubar. |
