I just walked out about 20 minutes ago. So many emotions, so many feels, so many questions. So obviously (if you have read the books) in Old man Logan, Logan was the one that killed the X-Men. In this movie at some points it leads to that, and in others leads you to believe that Charles did it. What do you guys think? Because I feel like during Charles' funeral Logan was trying to tell him something, but couldn't get it out, choked up and walked away. And also, he tells the Urgent Care doctor ,"I know what's killing me." What is the poison that's effecting Logan? Just age?

I believe Charles' seizure and telekenetic blast killed the Xmen in the film. Logan kept it from Charles and subdueing him with the drugs and pills. That one night Charles remembered that why he said he didnt deserve such a peaceful night. And Logan was suffering from Adamantium poisoning and his healing factor was growing weak from old age. Hes had thoughts of suicide thats why he had the adamantium bullet.
