11 Fairly Competent Time Travelers
When giant, mutant-killing robots called Sentinels have nearly annihilated mutantkind (and all those that help them), Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Kitty Pryde (Elliot Page) cobble together a plan to send Wolverine’s (Hugh Jackman) mind back in time to prevent Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) from assassinating the Sentinels’ creator, Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage), in 1973. It works, and per their older selves’ instructions, Logan finds the younger versions of Xavier (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) to prevent the mutant apocalypse from happening. So in terms of the job he had to do, Wolverine nails it, thwarting the assassination of Trask. Unfortunately, Magneto is a huge asshole who tries to kill Mystique, which restores the apocalyptic timeline, and then tries to kill the president, which would have made everything worse. The X-Men manage to save the day, but if Magneto had just listened to his future self, things would have gone a lot more smoothly.
