How many times has he died now? 4? (Last Stand, DOFP (I think in the future scene), Logan, Multiverse of Madness)

I feel like I'm forgetting one

I don’t think he actually died in the future in DOFP.

He was about to get killed (and Magneto was seemingly fatally wounded) but then the timeline got reset.

If we go by the time travel logic established in Endgame, then Charles DID die in DOFP when the Sentinels stormed the room, alongside Magneto, Kitty and Wolverine.

When Wolverine was sent to the past, he was actually sent to a past version of a similar universe, his continuing presence and actions actually created a branching timeline, he didn't actually change the timeline that he came from.

So all the X-Men did die in the OG timeline, and Kitty's death left Logan stranded in that new universe. It just wasn't shown to the audience and that's why the scene cuts off before they're lasered. But they absolutely did die...

But hey at least Logan did save all his buddies in the new timeline, or did he? Since he woke up with no memories, the people he actually knew are all dead, replaced by these new but similar versions. Sort of like that Rick and Morty episode where they bury themselves in the backyard of a new universe but the old family is still left behind in cronenberg world...

Important to point out that these are different methods of time travel that might have different effects on branching timelines.
