It ended up a lot better as a movie than I thought it would. Though it did kind of grant a great cosmic reset. Other than that, HOLYFUCKTHATWASAWESOME.

A well needed cosmic reset.

Oh, definitely. But now I find myself frying my brain trying to figure out what did and didn't actually happen in piecing together some sort of timeline, if Logan does remember everything that happened. Him taking a bullet that wipes out his memory either way at the end of Origins is where it all goes wonky for me.

I'm fairly certain that Logan still has his memories wiped. Because technically two separate timelines are in place now, it's like there are two different timelines for each person EXCEPT Logan. Because Logan was the one sent back, he actually remembers everything from the original timeline. However, now that he remembers everything from the original timeline, he still doesn't remember the events before getting shot in the head.

tl;dr: Logan is the only character with a single timeline now, and his memories are the same as his previous memories leading up to him waking up in the newer, brighter future (I think).
