So far the only scenes it ignores are the helicopter ending in XMO:W, and the jean grey recruitment in X3, but both of those can be rationalized into a first class 3 later too somehow.

There was more they ignored than that. Hank McCoy being seen on TV without blue fur and Emma Frost as a member of the Weapon X project. IIRC, in the credits for XMO:W, the actress is actually credited as Emma Frost and Kayla's sister.

As for Xavier being able to walk at the end of XMO:W, that is easily explained by Xavier tricking them with an illusion. It would be similar to the trick he pulled on the Russian guard when they were hiding in the back of that truck in XMFC.

Actually, the early 60's (the Cuban Missile Crisis was in 1962). But I agree with your overall point about Jean's recruitment.
