History Awesome / XMenDaysOfFuturePast

** ''X2XMenUnited'' is most definitely in continuity, as it shows scenes from the Weapon X experiments at Alkali Lake.
** As is ''XMenTheLastStand'', which shows clips of Phoenix and her death.
** ''[[XMenOriginsWolverine Origins]]'' is in continuity due to a flashback of Victor Creed stepping on Logan's bone claws. Some Weapon X footage was used from this film.

** ''[[Film/XMen1 X-Men]]'' appears to be in continuity with ''Future Past'', as Future!Charles tells Logan how he helped Logan regain his lost memories, which occurred at the conclusion of the first film.

** ''[[XMenOriginsWolverine Origins]]'' is in continuity due to a flashback of Victor Creed stepping on Logan's bone claws. The Weapon X footage is from ''X2'', however, not from ''Origins''.

* [[RootingForTheEmpire The Sentinels are indeed perfected Mutant killers]] who take out people who are clearly experienced with their powers and fighting in general. The list includes having enough raw strength to rip Colossus in two, being able to adapt to any superpower, ice to counter fire and fire to counter ice, and understanding powers quickly. They manage to stab [[spoiler:Blink twice]].
* Hearing Creator/JamesMcAvoy's Xavier perform the voiceover for the first time in the franchise is quite exhilarating because you can sense that he is gradually becoming Creator/PatrickStewart's Professor X.

---> '''2023 Professor X''': The future: a dark, desolate world. A world of war, suffering, loss on both sides. Mutants, and the humans who dared to help them, fighting an enemy we cannot defeat. Are we destined down this path, destined to destroy ourselves like so many species before us? Or can we evolve fast enough to change ourselves, change our fate? Is the future truly set?

* TheStinger: [[spoiler:We see a huge crowd of Ancient Egyptians chanting "EN SABAH NUR" in unison, before the camera reveals the very same mutant (Apocalypse) ''effortlessly assembling an entire pyramid with his mind'', with [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse four people on horseback]] atop a dune in the background.]] Needless to say, [[Film/XMenApocalypse the next film]] is going to be...epic.
* [[MyFutureSelfAndMe The younger and older versions]] of Charles Xavier telepathically conversing with each other...'''''THROUGH TIME'''''. It's a rather profound and potent moment of past and future colliding.

** Heck, just hearing Creator/PatrickStewart's narrate TheTeaser for the first time in 11 years is wonderful in itself despite the bleak subject matter.

* It's very subtle, but Creator/PatrickStewart's performance [[spoiler:in the new timeline]] is different from his previous scenes and the rest of the franchise. He is essentially playing an elderly version of Creator/JamesMcAvoy's character, capturing a small part of the latter's bubbly exuberance. (Charles is in his late eighties/early nineties in 2023, so his energy level is obviously a lot lower than that of his 1962 self.) Stewart's Professor X has traditionally been more serious and guarded, but the one Wolverine speaks to near the end of the movie is more light-hearted and open. Stewart has stated in an interview not long after ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' was released that he had enjoyed [=McAvoy=]'s portrayal of the young Xavier, and wished that he could emulate some of it should he ever have the chance to play the character again. Well, the actor did exactly that!

** Even prior to that scene, when Quicksilver and Magneto blur past security making them slowly levitate in the air for a couple of seconds in Bullet Time before hitting the ground is an epic little moment.

* Raven tracking down Erik after what's at most a day. In a foreign city. Without telepathy. She then isolates him, threatens to shank him if any metal so much as twitches, gives a short TheReasonYouSuck speech, and off she goes to vanish into the crowd. It's clear she'll be no pushover in this film.

** Just seeing Magneto fight alongside Xavier and his X-Men is an amazing and heartwarming sight for both casual and longtime fans. Despite him and Charles being [[FriendlyEnemy Friendly Enemies]] for so long, their combined powers showcase just how well they compliment each other, especially with the X-Men and other mutants fighting at their sides. If they were up against anything but the Sentinels, it's easy to picture them being almost unstoppable on the battlefield.

* Wolverine easily brings down three mafia goons after calmly warning them that they have no chance against him.

* TheStinger: [[spoiler:We see a huge crowd of Ancient Egyptians chanting "EN SABAH NUR" in unison, before the camera reveals the very same mutant (Apocalypse) ''effortlessly assembling an entire pyramid with his mind'', with [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse four people on horse back]] atop a dune in the background.]] Needless to say, [[Film/XMenApocalypse The next film]] is going to be...epic.

** Speaking of pain, the scene is made a little bit more awesome by the fact that he had spent the last few minutes pinned down by debris from the stadium, visibly bleeding and it wouldn't be surprising if he had a few broken bones. And none of that seems to affect his concentration.

It's clear she'll be no pushover in this film.
* In a quiet moment after everything that happened in Paris, Magneto is studying the film which contains blueprints of the Sentinels. He does this with his powers at the same time holding the film reel up in the air in front of a light, a lens in front of the projection, and while all this is going on he is also controlling a needle suturing closed a wound in the back of his head that he got from Beast pounding him into the fountain. Being able to do so many precise movements at the same time is in its own way just as impressive as throwing around hundreds of tons of metal.

* Magneto is likely at or around the peak of his mutant power in this film, and ''it shows.'' Among other things, he '''levitates the entirety of RFK Stadium, takes it with him four miles across town in mid-air, drops it around the White House, whilst controlling multiple Sentinels.''' And he doesn't even seem to be straining himself. And lets not forget his contribution to the final battle in the Future prior to getting wounded. He hurls the X-men's Jet into the throng of the Sentinel ships and uses Bishop and Storm's powers to detonate it, taking out what seems to be a good chunk of the Sentinel forces and buying Logan extra time.

* Just seeing the beloved casts of characters from both the ''X-Men Trilogy'' and ''First Class'' working together in the same movie is awesome in itself.

* Both the younger and older versions of Charles Xavier telepathically conversing with each other...'''''THROUGH TIME'''''. It's a rather profound and potent moment of past and future colliding.

** ''XMenFirstClass'' and ''TheWolverine'' are also in continuity, as they lead directly into ''Future Past''; the former being the prequel to it, the latter leading directly into the future scenes.
