The fate of the future X-Men

X-Men is one of the longest-running superhero franchises of all time, but it’s had its ups and downs since the first movie hit the big screen. Nonetheless, even if it doesn't hold a candle to competitors such as the MCU (as far as box office numbers are concerned), the films of the X-Men shared universe are filled with all sorts of memorable moments.

But given their ratings (only Deadpool and Logan were made for adult audiences), how brutal can these moments be? Well, quite brutal, actually. X-Men: Days of Future Past, when the fate of the X-Men from the future is revealed, is a good example.

Sure, the gore factor is nonexistent. But Storm and Blink are impaled, Colossus is squashed (and torn in two), Ice Man’s head is ripped off, and so on. These were pretty terrifying death scenes for important characters.

It was all undone when Wolverine interfered with the timeline at the end of the movie. But that doesn't really matter, does it?
