Welcome.

Interesting first post, especially as it is heavily flawed. The most head-scatching may be your inclusion of a non-existent Generation X film.

(I feel like replying to this thread will somehow result in an invitation to some kind of multi-level marketing.)

Ah, but there was a Generation X made for TV movie. But it was sometime in the '90's, not 2002. So still a head scratcher.

I do appreciate the attempt at distilling down the movie timelines, though. Granted, I didn't scrutinize it too closely, and the whole thing does give me a headache to think about.

Yes, it's a TV movie produced by FOX, but fictionally-speaking (I mean "in-universe") you can place it in 2002, the new post-DOFP timeline. For many reasons.

No flaws, no super-level marketing (LOL what?), just logic and plausibility. It's a terrific franchise.

It was released in February 1996 by FOX.

No flaws. Just ask me if you're curious about some events of the timelines. I'm here to answer.

Yes, I am well aware of the Gen X TELEVISION movie from the 90s. I watched it live when it aired. Forgive me for assuming no one would try to connect it into the CINEMATIC universe. It does not feature the Emma Silverfox version of Emma and I don't know why this list refers to him as "Banshee II."

There are multiple timeline sites that generally fall into similar things or just straight up from the movies that don't match what you've presented.

X-Men and X2 are not X-Men's release date but the near future, generally accepted as 2003.

The Last Stand is 2005 or 2006.

The Wolverine is 2013

The director of New Mutants said it takes place in the original universe. Seemingly sometime after The Wolverine.

And while I love the X-Men and many of the flicks, it's a really mixed bag of a franchise with dozens of continuity errors and diminishing returns, particularly the end of The Wolverine, X3, Origins, Apocalypse, and Dark Phoenix.

Naah. Be positive, buddy. Everything is fine.

1- The director of "The New Mutants" intended it to be set in the new timeline, but in the eighties, some years after the events of "Apocalypse". He changed his mind along the way and placed it in the modern time.
In the movie, the X-Men are well-known and popular, they are not a secret strike force like the team was in the original timeline. So no, it's the new timeline.

2- Banshee II is the clone whom we viewers can (briefly) see in "X-Men Origins" (set in 1983), along with Emma Silverfox. They are clones. Not that big of deal, it's a perfect retcon. And so you get a new Emma and a new Sean in "Generation X", as well as in "Origins".

3- X1 and X2 are set 15 years after the events of "Origins" (1983). They are future time from the perspective of the prequels, First Class and Origins. "Origins" is set at the same time of "Apocalypse", because Cyclops is 18 years old in both the movies, and some events are meant to occur anyway, no matter what - as Beast says: "time is a river".
TLS is set one year after X2. This is official.

The franchise is beautiful.
TLS was the most successful entry out of the original trilogy.
Apocalypse was a commercial hit.
