How come blink didn't just make a portal where a sentinels Arm goes through And then it hits himself in the head? How come she didn't just make s bunch of ground portals that went into the outside thin air from high up?

Sorry, this is just a silly film message board. For real answers you need to check Wikipedia.

And why didn't they use that speed guy to end the movie in 20 minutes? It really ruined my filmgoing experience.

Why does everyone keep asking this question? The Eye of Sauron + the Nazguls on their flying beasts.

What's the reason for Charles being alive in this one? Did he get resurrected at some point between X-Men 3 and this?

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

The movie essentially erases X-Men 3 from the timeline

I thought that, but then Wolverine is really surprised when Jean Grey and Cyclops turn up at the end.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
It doesn't erase X3 until Wolverine returns at the end. When in the past, Charles specifically sees visions of scenes from The Wolverine and X3 when he reads Wolverine's mind. The movie just fails to explain certain future details like how Charles is back (although the post-credits scene of X3 is basically a huge hint) and how Wolverine got his adamantium claws back after having them sheared off in The Wolverine.

Edit: clarified some sentences

Because he has no idea what is different in this new world he woke up in and is pleasantly surprised that in addition to probably stopping the Sentinel program he got Jean and Scott back too. I'm not sure what explanation there is for X3 not being erased, that seems like the whole point of the ending and timewipe in practical terms.

the neat thing about this movie is it's not really about preventing a dark future where Sentinels slaughter human and mutant alike, it's about preventing a dark future where Brett Ratner makes X-Men 3.

In the new timeline, we know that Mystique starts much less villainous, and Xavier learned to be less of a domineering dick a few years ahead of schedule. It's really likely that all the old X-Men movies never happened.

Yeah, it would overwrite X-Men 1 as well, since Stryker's path would've been totally different. I guess it'll be up to the Deadpool movie to explain whether Weapon X still happened in the new timeline, and by proxy how Wolverine got his Adamantium this time.

Which is nice because it means there's still potential for Magneto ripping out Wolverine's skeleton in a future installment, which I remember being pretty nuts in the 90s comics. Especially since Apocalypse is coming next, and in the comics that's how he got it back.

That poo poo was loving awesome and it'd be great to see it in a movie. Especially the aftermath where he turns into a goddamn animal.

We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.
So my sister's cousin's wife works for a guy who works for a guy whose uncle works for another guy who works in the movie industry and long story short they leaked a shot from the next Wolverine movie that might shed a bit of light on how they plan to resolve this little timeline mess with the new Wolverine and the old Wolverine yadda yadda

I hear that he'll be replaced by a teen wolverine, a cyborg wolverine, an inventor who makes artificial robot claws, and the fourth one where I'm too lazy to make the joke work all the way.

Wolverine from a bizarro dimension where he's a giant set of claws with little men that pop out of his knuckles.

This is a Return of Superman joke, isn't it? I understood a comic book thing. Ya-hoo.

It helps that Max Landis made that video. It makes me wish Elijah Wood will be Hank Henshaw again in the upcoming Supergirl TV series.

A yellow wolverine and a blue wolverine that contain different facets of his personality? I don't remember DoSM that well.
They've already got his son and his under aged prostitute gender swapped clone so they're part way there, I guess.
