I can understand leaving out X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix but why not include First Class? I know there are contradictions between First Class and the original film along with X3 (Xavier said he was 17 when he first met Magneto in the original film when he was clearly older in FC, Xavier can still walk in the X3 flashback, etc.) but DOFP is a direct sequel to FC and makes multiple references to it.I agree with this 100%. In my head-canon it goes:
X1
X2
X3
DOFP
Logan
The other films don't matter.
EDIT: I forgot all about The Wolverine. I consider that part of the above canon.
DOFP was the X-Men movie that made me stop caring about the continuity and just enjoy (or not enjoy in some cases) the films for what they are. I'll get more annoyed if a franchise like Star Wars or the MCU slips up with continuity errors since they're more careful about maintaining it but the Fox-Men movies were sloppy with the timeline since at least X-Men Origins. Even Deadpool poked fun at it.
