6: The Feral Brothers.

Problem 1: If Victor Creed and Wolverine are half-brothers, as seen in X-Men Origins, and only Logan is shown to have lost his memory, why doesn't Victor recognize him when they meet in X1?. Also, why does Tyler Mane's version look and act completely different from the one portrayed by Liev Schreiber?.

Solution: Well, actually there are some answers regarding that part of franchise (one of the few things that actually CAN be reconciled within these movies 9.9). First off, it is likely that Victor underwent some experiments at the hands of Stryker in between Origins and X1 which increased the animalistic parts of his nature, and (perhaps as a side-effect) erased his memory, a bit like Logan.

This point is fairly well covered in this X2 prequel comic about Wolverine.

And given how (surprisingly) well it fits into the continuity of the films, one could actually take it as official canon.

P.S. I recently found | this video which expands upon some of the ideas I've presented in these posts regarding Victor and Logan.

Problem 2: Putting DoFP and Origins in the same timeline, if Stryker's recruitment of Vic and Wolv's happened before 1975, why does Logan wake up in New York City and not Vietnam in 1973?.

Solution: I think there is a good chance that Logan and Victor probably served in Nam periodically. That, or the Vietnam scenes in Origins take place after the early events of DoFP (namley the scene where Logan "supervises" (wink, wink) the daughter of that mob boss and the one where Mystique rescues the mutant soldiers from being taken to Trask Industries). So it's possible that Vic and Wolv's were drafted later that year, as no specific date is given or can be discerned in any of the Vietnam scenes in Origins. This means that all 3 scenes (these being the helicopter shot where Logan tells Victor to stop shooting, the scene of Victor's killing spree and the execution, and Stryker recruting the two into Team X) could conceivably have happened at different times. Therefore the original sequence of events would have seen:

1: Logan getting caught sleeping with the mob boss's daughter.

2: Logan and Victor going to Vietnam (either for the first time, or returning).

3: Victor going on a killing spree and both of them being executed.

4: Stryker recruting the two into his team.

But now, because of the events of DoFP, the revised timeline goes as follows.

1: Logan's consciousness is sent into his younger body.

2: Logan gets caught sleeping with the mob boss's daughter.

3: Logan beats up the mob thugs and steals one of their cars.

4: Logan travels to the X-Mansion.

And from there the rest of the movie plays out, and none of the post-73 events of X-Men Origins happen.
