Days of Future Past

Holy crap, they either did this on accident or on purpose, either way, it's kinda genius and I feel like I'm the only one noticing:

"The Days of Future Past comic storyline alternates between present day, in which the X-Men fight Mystique’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline caused by the X-Men’s failure to prevent the Brotherhood from assassinating Senator Robert Kelly. In this future universe, Sentinels rule the United States, and mutants live in internment camps."

That part that I highlighted in yellow? THAT WAS THE EXACT PLOT OF THE FIRST XMEN MOVIE MADE IN 2000. Which means if they use this as a way of rebooting the series, then they wrote a backdoor into the storyline 12 years ago. And if they did that on purpose, they deserve a giant cake.

See, I realized like the day they announced they were doing Days of Future Past that this could be the best way to undo X3: The Last Stand and start doing more X-Men in the present day movies. In a Abrams Star Trek way. And they totally are gonna do it. 

Just please don't screw over Scott Summers this time. Please?
