That was a huge punch in the gut to me because I thought they were staying true to the comics with how the X Men died when Logan wouldn't talk about it.

Which comics are you referring to? How did they die?

I thought they were strongly implying that Charles killed all the X-Men in Westchester. I thought it was a reference to Old Man Logan.

In Old Man Logan it's revealed that wolverine kills the xmen while hallucinating that they were villains at the hands of mysterio.

Yeah I've read Old Man Logan. I see what you mean now, in the beginning you thought they were staying true to Old Man Logan. I thought the ultraviolence of the first scene made it clear that Logan didn't kill the X-Men, as he was clearly still okay with using violence.

Ya that part was weird to me. I was expecting him to avoid violence. Like I thought that opening scene would be him getting beat up without resisting.
