I haven't seen Logan, but I've been told it breaks with the timeline/alternative reality/timeywineytypething

 

Hence my spoiler confusion...the interwebs (light searching that I did) don't have a solid answer either.

Maybe it's a future after the events of Apocalypse?

It's set in 2029, which is the furthest out chronologically. First Class takes place in 1962 (Cuban missile crisis), Days of Future Past takes place mostly in 1973 (Paris Accords), except for the parts that don't (which are approximately 40 years later), Apocalypse takes place in I think 1983 wherein Havok and Beast are still like 20 years old somehow, Origins is sort of spread out across the background of those three (or it was until they decided to drop it from canon), X1-3 all take place more or less when they were released. So does Wolverine, which if you can keep timelines separate in your head, is only possible because DoFP erased the Sentinel version of the Bad Future. Of course, for anyone who has paid attention to the time travel shenanigans in the comics over the years, pretty much every future is the Bad Future for mutants.

 

Also Deadpool is technically kind of part of X-Men continuity, but probably not the one we've actually been seeing on film so far.

 

Honestly I wouldn't recommend worrying too much about the X-Men film timeline - the producers certainly don't. Pretty sure the only reason it ever gets factored in is because of the ongoing necessity for Magneto to be a Holocaust survivor. I think they work better if you take them as sort of an anthology series as opposed to an MCU-style ongoing story; otherwise Laura's X-Men comics in the film are less Macbeth in their historical revisionism and more Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

If you meant "does anything come after this chronologically?", unlikely, unless they decide to have a movie following Laura and her pals around - don't hold your breath.

 

If you meant "are there more movies after this?", then yeah, they're prepping two movies now. One is set in the 90s post-Apocalypse and is apparently going to be taking another shot at getting the Dark Phoenix right, while the other is going to be based on the old New Mutants book, set who knows when. Three movies if you count Deadpool 2 as an X-film, and four if this supposed X-Force movie is ever more than a twinkle in Simon Kinberg's eye. Not to mention the tenuously connected Legion series on FX, and this other show they're putting together for network.

Things I didn't know...

 

I have very little intention of ever watch deadpool, or any deadpool based movie primarily based off my disatisfaction in Ryan Reynolds acting range.

 

Also, I have 0 exposure to non-movie X-men cannon, so that paragraph is facinating non-parasable english to me.

I haven't read any comics including X men and new mutants since the very early 90s... and still that's a completely understandable explanation.

 

I think Kong was a response to the thread title but maybe ryrin will feel like writing more

words there.

 

deadpool was a great, fun movie. you don't have to watch it of course. that was a recommendation.

I do a lot of things that are contrarian just for the point of being contrarian; I've never watched Titanic and I've never read (or watched) Harry Potter.

tianic is a travesty. I rooted for the iceberg in the few minutes I sat through.

 

and you are a muggle but that's ok.

 

The most hilarious part of that word is that it has been adopted around the world by my running club to refer to people who aren't in the club.

in this ase it means someone who hasn't read or watched Harry Potter. but you have much time to read and watch many things.

 

I'm aware enough of the culture around harry potter to be aware of what all the terms mean, and I have a general understanding of the plot - you can refrain from directly watching or reading, but it's almost impossible to live with people who grew up in the aughts to not reference it frequently in regular conversation.

 

Anyway, I'll probably go see Kong this weekend.

So I worked 13+ yesterday and saw that Transformers was playing on my way home, and I said "whatever, I saw the first one ten years ago, how bad can this be?"

 

SPOILER REVIEW of Transformers: Last knight

TL:DR -> It was close to, if not slightly better than, my expectations, but my expectations were "i need to turn off my mind for 3 hours after a long day at work, this should do the trick." The worst parts of the movie, and the parts that upset me the most, were when my brain tried to actively process what it was seeing.

OMG a new Transformers??

 

This means a new Kermode rant <3

 

What's a Kermode rant?

 

Actually, this is the tag line for the New Yorker review:

 

  Quote
The absolute tastelessness of Bay’s images, their stultifying service to platitudes and to merchandise, doesn’t at all diminish their wildly imaginative power.

 

 

Which is what I was struggling to say in my review

Kermode is a film critic who doesn't like dan brown films, transformers, sex in the city etc etc etc that I Google if I ever need a dose of light relief

 

This review is ok, I think you'll appreciate his sex and the city 2 review :)

 

His best Michael Bay quote imo "if Michael Bay wasn't one of the most successful film directors in the world he'd be directing porn"
