At least James McAvoy Professor X started look Patrick Stewart Professor X in the 80s. They didn't even try to make Magneto look more age appropriate.

The original X-films take place in the not too distant future.

Havok looked the same age in First Class and Apocalypse, and they were set 20 years apart.

I don't understand why they couldn't at least give Magneto his signature comic-book accurate grey hair. It's been 30 years since First Class, meaning he's in his 60s here. There's no excuse not to other than they just didn't care, which is the feeling you get from them with every aspect of these films.

Hank McCoy also doesn't age from First Class to Dark Phoenix, which is 30 years later. Mystique even says they're the last of the first class.

Ironically, the X-Men movie time flow works just like it would in a comic book.

So you're telling me nothing interesting happened to these characters in the 10 years between movies? I don't think DOFP HAD to be done in the 70's or Apocalypse HAD to be done in the 80's. Was just lazy all around that not all the films were good enough to make up for it.

I didn't even see one iota of 90's pop culture nostalgia stuff in the movie.

At least James McAvoy Professor X started look Patrick Stewart Professor X in the 80s. They didn't even try to make Magneto look more age appropriate. Altered: 1930: Erik Magnus Lehnsherr is born. 1944: The concentration camp sequence. 1955: Erik conceives his son, Peter Maximoff. 1962: Erik becomes an X-Man. He is 32 years old. 1963: Erik debuts as "Magneto". 1973: Magneto escapes from his high security prison aided by the X-Men: Professor X, Logan, Beast, Quicksilver. He is 43 years old. 1983: Magneto becomes a Horseman of Apocalypse. He is 53 years old. 1992: Magneto rules over Genosha. He is 62 years old. Original: 1930: Erik Magnus Lehnsherr is born. 1980: Professor X and Magneto recruits Jean Grey. Erik is 50 years old. 1999: The events of "X-Men". Magneto is 69 years old. 2000: The events of "The Last Stand". Magneto is 70 years old. 2023: The post-apocalyptic future of DOFP. Magneto is 93 years old. Cinematic mutants age slower and better than humans.

Ironically, the X-Men movie time flow works just like it would in a comic book. That's because in comics, time is compressed. That's why you can get a Christmas issue almost every year. Comics can get away with retcons to update it with the times because they usually don't give a specific year. Just familiar time periods. The X-men movies screwed up when it came to this. They gave dates and placed them in real world events.

At least James McAvoy Professor X started look Patrick Stewart Professor X in the 80s. They didn't even try to make Magneto look more age appropriate. The same would go for all of them. Even the Dark Phoenix X-men. Mystique calls them kids when they are nearly 30 by that movie. But I guess from her perspective of being in her late 50s, they would be kids.
And the only thing about McAvoy looking like Stewart's Xavier is that he finally lost his hair. He still looks the same. Only thing is that the 90s X-men (Xavier, Cyclops, Jean and Nightcrawler) actually look closer to live action versions of that comics era.

Generally speaking, (XCU) mutants age slower and better than humans. Mystique and Beast age EVEN MORE SLOWER, because their mutation (Beast's feline/ape forms are based on Mystique's DNA). Hank was at least 20 in FC. Hank was 31 in DOFP. Hank was 41 in Apocalypse. Hank was 50 in DP. He was 58 in "The Last Stand" (set in 2000).

The original X-films take place in the not too distant future. Retconned. It was "the not too distant future" from the X-Men Origins/First Class perspective, so to speak. Concentration Camp: 1944 The Last Stand Prologue: 1980 Warren Worthington's Flashback: 1990 X-Men: 1999 X2: 1999 The Last Stand: 2000 The Wolverine: 2008 The Wolverine Post-Credits: 2010 DOFP Bleak Future: 2023

It was the distant future, but not too distant.
