The Disturbing Implications of Days of Future Past

One of the best things about X-Men Days of Future Past was it's ending, but there's also a massive problem with this ending. *Spoilers Ahead* Logan arrives in the present of the new timeline and life is great, everyone's alive, the X-Men are thriving and we all get a happy ending...except for Logan. Look at things from everyone else's perspective, the Logan that they've all known for years now, they've respected and fought with has just died and being replaced with an alternate timeline version. This Logan doesn't share any of their Logan's memories or experiences, he's a completely new person. Their friend is dead this stranger has taken his place. This is really similar to the ending of Back to the Future where Marty ends up in a completely different timeline, thus killing that timeline's version of himself. Yeah it's supposed to be a good happy ending but the implications of this are disturbing on a psychological realm...or we could just sum it up to wibbly wobbly timey wimey...stuff.
