"The first one (Nightmare on Elm Street) was good but the rest sucked" - Scream

X-Nen Apocalypse to X:-Men: The Last Stand via Return of the Jedi: "The third one is always the worst".

I figured they were making a joke about their own movie.

I'm not sure the movie was that self-aware. On the other hand, Last Stand wasn't directed by Singer, so easy target. Plus, the rest of the conversation is similarly pointed.

"I'm just saying Empire is still the best. It's the most complex, the most sophisticated. Wasn't afraid to have a dark ending." - Days of Future Past didn't really have a dark ending, but X2 did

"Yeah but come on, if it wasn't for the first one you wouldn't have any of the rest of the movies." - First Class is technically the fifth of a series, so yeah

Speaking of X-Men, there are several jabs at Origins (as well as Green Lantern) in the Deadpool flicks.
