Yeah. I get that it is more comic accurate. But in the film it just didn't fit for me. Ice man and the others hadn't aged as much. After all Logan is suppose to age really slowly.

Singer said the grey in his hair is more of a representation of stress, than actual aging.
These look awesome.

Oh I hope so I want something real meaningful death what we got here but since i have already seen the future no matter what happens in that movie will be fine considering all your favorites are still in the future. Now if they really wanted to tease me kill magneto and have him sacrifice himself as an attonement.

But all he did was sleep in them. 
I think they were his future pajamas.

True but they still looked cool. I will say 70's fashion sucked more than some of todays nonsense.

Interesting article on yahoo about X-men's timeline chaos.
X-Men: Days of Future Past involves Wolverine time-traveling back to 1973 to change history. However, if you look at the previous six X-Men-related movies, you’ll see that the directors and writers have been messing with history all along — though not necessarily on purpose. After rewatching all seven films, we found six major incongruities that just don’t jibe — and you can’t blame Wolverine for these. (Spoilers follow for those who haven’t seen DOFP.)
When did Professor X and Magneto meet?
In the original movie, Charles Xavier (played by Patrick Stewart) tells Wolverine, “When I was 17, I met a young man named Erik Lehnsherr,” aka Magneto (Ian McKellen). But in First Class, Charles (then played by James McAvoy) is seen as a child in 1944, and he meets Erik (Michael Fassbender) 18 years later in 1962. Director Bryan Singer takes the blame for that error, telling SciFiNow that he now regrets writing that line in the first script.
When did Professor X and Magneto become enemies?
First Class ends in 1962 with Charles and Erik having fought and split apart over their philosophical differences of whether humans and mutants can coexist. But in the flashback to 1986 at the beginning of X-Men: The Last Stand, which flashes back to 1986, the two are apparently still friends, and they go together to recruit Jean Grey to enroll in Xavier’s school. And that’s not the only continuity problem with that scene…
When was Professor X paralyzed?
In the climax of First Class, Magneto deflects a bullet that hits Xavier in the spine, causing him to lose the use of his legs. Days of Future Past sees Charles in 1973 taking a drug that allows him to walk again but at the cost of his mutant powers; he eventually gives it up and returns to the wheelchair. However, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (set in the late ’70s) and the mid-’80s flashback in Last Stand, Professor X can walk and use his psychic abilities.
How is Professor X alive (and still looking like himself)?
Jean Grey disintegrates Prof. X in the middle of The Last Stand, but it is set up that he can input his consciousness into another body, which he does during the post-credits scene. And while you don’t see the face of the vegetative coma patient he takes over, how it is that when he wakes up he still looks just like Professor X? Last Stand director Brett Ratner said in the DVD commentary that the man in the coma is Xavier’s twin brother, but Charles never mentions having a sibling in any movie. And even if he did, is his brother also confined to a wheelchair? Did he take a bullet for Magneto’s twin?
When did Professor X start his school?
According to the official X-Men website 25moments.com, Xavier started his school for mutants in 1963. But in the first movie, the Professor says that Cyclops and Jean Grey “were some of my first students.” The timelines just don’t match up, with Prof. X first encountering Cyclops in the late ’70s in X-Men Origins, and subsequently recruiting Jean in the mid-’80s.
How are there two versions of some people?
Moira MacTaggert, as played by Rose Byrne, is a young American CIA agent in the early ’60s in First Class. Moira MacTaggert as played by Olivia Williams is a not-much older Scottish geneticist in the modern day scenes of The Last Stand. Also, Emma Frost was a teenager in the ’70s in 2009’s Origins: Wolverine, but she was also an adult in 1962 in First Class (and — SPOILER — Magneto says she was killed sometime before 1973 in Days of Future Past). Plus, the hulking, mute Sabretooth of 2000’s X-Men is nothing like the verbose and clever Victor Creed (played by Liev Schrieber) in 2009’s Wolverine.
There are plenty of other smaller incongruities between the films. Xavier says he and Magneto built Cerebro in the first movie, but it was Hank “Beast” McCoy’s creation in First Class. Xavier doesn’t understand how Magneto’s helmet blocks his psychic powers in the 2000 original, but he does in the prequel. Little goofs like that get into the realm of nitpicking. Meanwhile, Bryan Singer says the next film, X-Men: Apocalypse, will be set in the 1980s, so who know how that will further scramble up the timeline. Maybe it will answer the biggest question of all: After 200 years, why hasn’t Wolverine ever tried a different hairstyle?

.......dammit. That's all rather annoying I have to say....some of them could be fixed with special editions of the various films while others would be more difficult.
Incredible Hulk does not deserve to mentioned with those others half hearted attempts at comic based movies..
Seriously TIH actually does a great job with the Hulk character and steals images right from the Comics... His "Leave me alone" line in the soda factory is one of my fav moments in all of the Marvel films... They just screwed up Abomination and screwed him up bad. Otherwise its a fun movie that is true to the character of the Hulk with great Hulk moments (I get goose bumps everytime with "Hulk Smash" and his Thunder clap!)
In fact I liked the way they did the Character of Hulk better in TIH then in the Avengers. But Avengers got his brute strength right and showed just what the Hulk can do. I also liked the look of the Avengers Hulk better but only because TIH was far too ripped.

I don't know why he said Apocalypse can further scramble the timeline, though, since, you know, said timeline has been averted.

Considering how convoluted the continuity of the X-Men comics is (or was when I was reading them), all those conflicting plot holes seem appropriate.

Now that's funny.Yeah, their timeline is a complete mess and they don't even care, they just keep adding things that don't fit with the rest of the story.
The film takes many liberties with its 1970′s sequences. In the stand-out action set-piece of Quicksilver’s screen time, Maximoff listens to Jim Croce’s Time In A Bottle on his Walkman while disarming several Pentagon guards to humorous and fantastical effect.
during that scene:
i have been wondering, how does the walkman song plays a whole minute or two within 0.0006565322121 seconds...?
they would not have fast forward x100000000 features in the 1970's walkman....

Perhaps since Xavier's twin had been an empty vessel so to speak and hadn't been using his legs they were useless when Xavier jumped into his body....though wouldn't the rest of his muscles be useless aswell....I dunno...

You can nitpick it all day, it's a long series, technically even though his name wasn't used, I'm sure X3 Trask is same as Imp Trask. Never going to clean up every detail and I honestly don't think they need to get that nitpicky.
