Both were in X-Men: Apocalypse but Jubilee is also in X1 and Psylocke is in X3.

I don't recall them ever actually going Jubilee by name in X1 though. Same reason why they showed what should have been Kitty even though she clearly wasn't.

As for Psylocke, I don't remember her in X3 either.

The timeline changing wouldn't change the date someone was born though.

And they were both amazing and incredibly fun to watch.

The one in DoFP yes, the one in Apoc, eh.

...they did things? They were barely onscreen.

Yes, they're supposed to be orphans who were separated and their dad is Corsair.

That's something I learned to accept about these films: the way people age makes no sense.

It could have easily been rectified though had they not made the movies have a 20 year gap. The time jumps are too big.

I think his design was a far bigger issue than his size. It'd be nice if he were bigger but that's not enough to ruin the movie for me.

Given that no character except Psylocke looks like their comic counterpart, I never expected Apocalypse to look accurate (the design still sucks ass though). However, Apocalypse should tower over his enemies, not be shorter than everyone. Hell, if Wolverine had been with the team, he would have been shorter than him.

I had never heard of Caliban until this movie so that didn't really bug me.

Caliban is an interesting character with an interesting history. I'm surprised you didn't know about him through at least the 90s cartoon.

I've thought about watching them "in order" but I honestly don't even know what order they would be watched in. No other movie series I know of has this many continuity problems. Also, aside from a few continuity issues, DOFP is nearly perfect. I think it's my favorite superhero movies out of all the brands.

My favorite of the X-Men movies is First Class as it was the only one that felt like they were actually a team to me. Not to mention it's the first time I felt Charles was properly portrayed on screen. Patrick Stewart might have the look, but he was way too grandfatherly to be Charles. Charles is an A class asshole who cares more about himself and his own selfish desires than what others want. Yes, he loves his mutants, but he thinks they should follow his world views and no one else's. Stewart just could never portray that part which McAvoy has done perfectly.

Though, First Class does feature one very big flaw with Magneto. He hates humans because of his imprisonment during WWII, but it was a mutant that killed his parents and tortured him. That kind of defies his entire motivation. Still, Fassbender gives a phenomenal portrayal and has the most badass theme song since the 90s X-Men cartoon opening.
