To Doomlurker, I know about THI, but the film's timeframe is really not that great. Seeing that in '75 Wolverine and Creed were sent for exicution, lived, and got recruited by Stryker for the Team X thing. They work together for some time, then Wolverine leaves, then the film cuts to 6 years later. At earliest the film can take place in '81 (75+6=81) but if Team X worked together for longer than a year, which is possible, then it could be even later. AND(!) Gambit himself said the Three Mile Island leak already happened, or at least it had problems already, alluding to it at the very least. So no, it did not take place in '79. Plus Origins Wolverine has a lot of continity errors within it's own series (like Scott eye lasers acting like heat lasers, when they are not), and many of the films made after it ignores anything that was in Origins (like Xavier loosing his ability to walk in first class, and him choosing to have his powers over walking in Days, so he never can walk afterwards). It was out of continuity before Days decided to mess around with it in the first place once you think about it. Also if Origins was in 79, Xavier would of lost his hair and became way older in a span of 6 years. And it's been confirmed that James McAvoy would play Xavier again for X-Men Apocolypse, which takes place in the 80's.

To D9 fan, no, ages can work if the are written by people who can count. It's usually in books and comics where you'll have writters use bad math and not think. Movies still have that issue, but not as often, and funny enough, not in comic films. Not to any I can think of.

Also... also.... no one has rebuttled my "Jean would be really old in Days" yet. No, I do not count "keeping her youth as a mutant power" as an explanation. She does not have that power.
