Camouflaged flaws !!!

star55

I have noticed 3 MAJOR holes in the story line.

First of all, the flaw that I took personally was, when Charles(James McAvoy) and Erik(Michael Fassbender) go to fetch Logan (Hugh Jackman) in the Bar, Logan was both Charles's and Erik's age. How is that possible when back in 2000, in X-Men we saw, Old Professor X and Logan almost half his age. (like that was just basic carelessness of the storyline) Thats the first mistake and most important, as I am a huge fan of Logan/Hugh !!

Secondly, by the end of the movie, when Erik accidentally diverts the bullet into Charles, it so happens that after Erik leaves, Charles realizes that he cannot "feel" his legs,which obviously implies that from then on he lost use of his leg,moreover in the end, he is seen using a wheelchair. BUT, I dont exactly remember which, the 2nd or the 3rd but in one of them, in a flash back it shoes that both professor X and Magneto,together as friends come to get the young Jean from her home.Except there, Professor X walked into the house.Surely I remember that scene. Another big fault in the storyline. (shame) (tsk tsk)

And Third, while watching the X-men trilogies, and from the flashbacks, you get the idea that professor X and magneto have been friends since a long time, magneto even helped professor build the Serebro, but in this movie,Erik leaves even before the school;s existence ?!?!!
