Depends if they give Toad some personality, the Toad in X1 had personality. The one in Dofp wasn't very memorable.

Father and son. Father Toad in DOFP was a cameo or so.
The son was featured on X-Men Origins (1983) as a kid (sharing some time with Scott Summers), and later on X-Men (1999) as a member of the Brotherhood.
In X1, you can notice that Mortimer kinda recognized Scott/Cyclops. There's a sequence where Toad quietly observes/spies Scott removing the ooze from Jean's face, with a strange grin on his face. It was a memorable moment.

apocalypse felt like a bad filler to me.

A good installment in a series should hook you, start somewhere fresh or surprising from the getgo with no need to explain everything that's going on

Apocalypse was a masterpiece. And it was a mysterious and fascinating movie.

In DOFP, the "time travel explanation" sequence was NOT "over-exposition" at all. It was useful to explain why some events repeat themselves in the new timeline too. They were setting up the next movies in a wise, clever and smart way.
