There was so much because we wanted to honor X1 through 3 even though we were changing the timeline of those movies. I think the big thing for me is how Charles's mansion is different when Logan wakes up in the changed future, but still the same as it sort of was. When Logan wakes up, it's not the school from X1. It's the mansion/school from the X1 period because of what's changed. If you look, take a look at the [lighting and design]. It's different.

Ramses said: Yeah the movie kills X1-X3, XO:W, and W completely. I would argue that only X1 could happen completely unchanged in the new timeline. Then again they made Toad look like Boris the Animal from MIB3 for some reason. Didn't love the movie, didn't hate it, but I'm glad the story is coherent at the moment. Hopefully Fox doesn't throw in the new Crappastic Four in there and screw it up again. Also couldn't they have found an attractive Baby Mama for Magneato? I seriously spent the rest of the move wondering how drunk and desperate he was instead of enjoying the end of the movie.
