Sorry Magneto, your powers cannot erase dozens of glaring continuity errors.
Attention X-Men fans! How many continuity errors have you noticed between X-Men First Class, the original trilogy and X-Men Origins: Wolverine? Here’s out Top 10 list to get the wheels spinning.
10. At the end of First Class, Professor X becomes paralysed from the waist down. This movie takes place in the 60s. Yet, in The Last Stand’s opening, Professor X is seen walking in a flashback from the 80s. In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, we also see Professor X standing at the end of the film.
9. In this same opening scene from The Last Stand, Xavier and Magneto are still friends that are conducting the business of recruiting mutants (Jean Grey). In First Class, they have already had their falling out and draw their battle lines.
8. In X-men origins Wolverine, we see Emma Frost as a teenager. In First Class, she is already an adult, despite taking place years earlier. Sure, they never mentioned her name in the movie, but the actress was credited as “Emma Frost.”
7. In the first X-Men movie, Xavier states that his first meeting with Magneto was when they were teenagers, he was 17. In First Class, they are both shown as grown men the first time they meet.
6. In the first X-men movie Charles cannot understand why he cannot access Erik’s mind. He guesses that it has something to do with his helmet. Magneto’s helmet played a major role in First Class, and Erik witnessed its power to block telepathy all the way back in the 60s.
5. In X2, we see Beast in human form. In First Class, we see him as a human.
4. First Class establishes that Hank McCoy (Beast) was the one who built Cerebro. In the first movie, Professor X explains that he built it with the help of Magneto. Furthermore, it was stated that because Magneto helped Professor X construct Cerebro, he was able to build a helmet to block telepathy. In First Class, Magneto simply takes the helmet from Sebastian Shaw, who got it from the Russians.
3. Moira Mactaggert looks around the same age in both First Class and The Last Stand, which is set decades apart. She isn’t a mutant.
2. Changing accents. Magneto develops a british accent for the original trilogy. Hank McCoy similarly develops his own European accent by The Last Stand.
1. After all the talk of their deep friendship throughout the original trilogy, First Class clearly shows that Charles and Erik were buddies for about a week… until they dealt with Sebastian Shaw. Some friendship!
