As any self-respecting moviephile can tell you, time is hardly linear. We have Doc Brown (Back to the Future), Bill & Ted (Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure) and JCVD (Timecop) to thank for that little physics lesson. So if we apply that learning to the overly convoluted X-Men movie timeline, we might be able to make some sense out of the mess created by 10 films, seven directors, and Brett Ratner. What follows is our attempt to apply a method to the madness, and make the story and setting that plays out in Logan that much more meaningful.

The Future Past of the X-Men / Logan Timeline

Logan will give us our first cinematic story featuring X-23. If things go well, it's possible that she could steal the spotlight from the film's title character! Entertainment Editor Drew Dietsch gives his thoughts on why X-23 might be a better Wolverine than Wolverine himself! And don't worry, he'll explain who X-23 is for anyone who isn't in the know.

X-23 Could Be a Better Wolverine Than Logan

Logan is one of the most anticipated superhero films of all time. Hugh Jackman, who has played the character of Wolverine for 17 years, is finally retracting his adamantium claws and saying goodbye to the role that made him a superstar.Does Logan give Jackman - and the character of Wolverine - a proper sendoff? Is this one of the best superhero movies ever made? Does it continue the trend Deadpool started by giving us a good R-rated comic book movie? Entertainment Editor Drew Dietsch saw the film and you can watch his quick review in the video above. If you'd like to read his more detailed review, click here for some extended thoughts.
