I haven't see all of the X-Men movies, so I'm not sure if it was ever explained.

Pretend like X-3 doesn't exist.

First Class and DOFP are prequels. DOFP also changed the continuity.

Apparently you didn't watch x-men 3, because it is explained in that movie.

ETA: not that I blame you for not watching the entire end, because that was probably a smart move.

Well let's see:

Prior to Days of Future Past, it was explained that Xavier had an identical twin brother who was basically brain dead. He transferred his mind to the other body and overwrote him. (post-credit scene)

After Days of Future Past happened, Jean never killed Charles and Scott, and Logan never killed her; hence why they are alive at the end.

How are people not flipping out about spoilers

I don't care, because I got bored halfway into the second movie, but still

Days of Future Past did one of the greatest things a comic book movie franchise has ever done. They made an entire movie shitting on the most hated movie in the franchise and then retconned it out of existence. I was ecstatic when young Charles looked into the future and saw scenes from X3 then broke down screaming "I don't want your future" then proceeded to ensure that future never happened. That was awesome.

X1
X2
First Class
DOFP
Apocalypse
Wolverine Franchise


Theyve done a solid job with the xmen outside of two major misses.
