There are so many alternate cuts in the superhero movie pantheon. But the longer "Days Of Future Past" edit (in which Rogue is an integral part of the third act) is one of the stronger X-movies because of how it's able to allow its characters to engage in political matters of human-mutant coexistence, far more than the other films. Did not love how they basically killed half the "First Class" dudes offscreen between movies, though.
Also, re: Efron, I think he confided to the press about plastic surgery to fix what was apparently a very violent chin injury? It seemed like a... suspicious story.
I love 'Days of Future Past' so much. It is hands down the best X-Men movie made and the definitive ending for the Reboot timeline that started with First Class.
But I don't believe for a second that it ever undid The Last Stand. Because (not counting Deadpool) there have always really been two parallel X-Men movie timelines. The 2023 we see in DOFP is specifically the future of the Reboot timeline, rather than the actual Original X-Men movie timeline where The Last Stand happened.
"The Bear is not a comedy, and shouldn’t be labeled as such to win Emmys." Agreed. It's only a "comedy" in the Shakespeare sense (dramatic bullshit cut with an odd wisecrack).
Yeah the Bear stole awards from a lot more deserving comedies. If you have not watched What we do in the shadows yet on hulu, do yourself a favor and give it a shot. I am currently on my fourth rewatch and am still cracking up. Great show.

I didn't even know there was a longer cut! I'll have to track it down, thanks for the tip.

I choose to believe Days of Future Past fixed the timeline, ala Back to the Future. :D
I used to think that until Logan came out, lol!
