Comic Book Cinematic Universe 101: Opportunism, X-Men

Oh man, I bet you guys thought this was going to be about the European Elections. Well, so did I, then I realised I'm way too bummed out, and perhaps even TOO cynical to deal with that right now.

I noticed during X-Men: Days of Future Past that it had definitely filled the hole I had been looking for while seeking to make a unified theory on Cinematic Continuity. You can take the fact I had time to plan this article 2/3rds of the way through the film as a minor indictment of its pacing issues. 

Spoilers ahead, but like, nothing mind blowing
