The Wolverine Trilogy Title Analysis

It makes sense.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine ----> Original Timeline
It works as perfect prequel to the original trilogy. It's both the birth of "Wolverine" and an X-Men prequel.

The Wolverine ---- Second Timeline (Intermedium)
The X-Men disbanded years before, Wolverine is alone and more feral. He must fight to be Wolverine again.

Logan ----> Third Timeline (Post-DOFP)
The Death of Wolverine and the "rebirth" of a more human Logan.

------------------------------------->

The X-Men timeline was altered 2 times, not just one (DOFP).
FIRST CLASS was already a "divergence".

A perfectly reasonable progression!

Even in Origins, Wolverine/Logan was already expressing strong self-doubts on what his special powers have brought him to. To bring back his humanity in the closing saga is emotionally compelling.

There's not really a Wolverine trilogy. A trilogy would be something that builds upon what came before. None of the stories are connected in any way. Origins: Wolverine is not connected to The Wolverine, and The Wolverine certainly won't be connected to Logan.

I even suspect that's another reason why they have decided to call it Logan. They want to push it as far as they can from the other movies with the title Wolverine. Logan will very much be it's own thing!

CBMF,
You're spot on.
Each chapter belongs to a different timeline and depicts a different message.
I would say it's a "collection" of movies, not a trilogy.
