So Basically theres no way around it, Logan is kind of a stand alone?

I saw Logan last night...LOVED It.

The Action was incredible and brutal, LOVED X-23 and the actress that played her, thought the story was very good and for me it truly didn't feel like a Comic Book Movie, it felt special.

I did think the middle of the movie slowed down and I didnt love the ending...but overall I loved Logan(I think its in my top 5 CBM's of all time)

Today I've been thinking about it more, and been doing some research about the X-Men timeline....and from what I've read, there's just no way around it, Logan has to kind of be a Stand Alone movie that doesn't fit with The timeline of The other X-Men films

I also really like Days of Future Past, But just learned and realized The ending Of DOFP takes places in 2023/2024...when Wolverine wakes at the end, that is in 2023/2024

well LOGAN takes place in 2029....Theres simply no way The events that happened in LOGAN could have happened in 5 years...

Logan has aged Greatly, The Professor is on deaths bed and all Mutants have died. yet just 5 years earlier at the end of DOFP, Logan had not aged much, The Professor looked healthy, and Mutants were fine.

Unfortunately I just dont see anyway Logan can be anything but a stand alone film that doesn't take place in the same X-Men Universe(which sucks and is odd considering The same actors are playing the 2 leads in Wolverine and Charles)

It also sucks because Much of what gives The Movie its self its heart, Is us the audience knowing what these 2 characters have been through in Previous movies, Yet Theres simply no way that Past could have taken place

anyways I could be missing something, if anyone else has an explanation please tell me.

I still Loved The movie I just wish they could have set it in the same X-Men Universe, which If I'm understanding it correctly would not have been hard...all they had to do was Set the date in which the film takes place back longer, Instead of Logan taking place in 2023/2024, they should have set the date of the film in 2044...at least the we could believe That LOGAN could have aged as much as he did, The Professor could be on deaths door and Mutants could have died out in the 20 years since The end Of DOFP
