I had no doubts. There's a few that are different, but as some here know, I've personally agreed with what the book is saying when it comes to some of those placements. For the most part though, it's pretty close to here.Sooo pretty close to our timeline, unlike we previously feared?
Largely I think this works, the places that don't line up with our placements have reasoning for why they went a different way. If I'm being completely honest Love and Thunder is the only one I think I really disagree with.Here are placements from the book (just including when the bulk of the movie/show takes place).

46. What-If- Given its own lesser detailed timeline toward the end of the book. Honestly, I get why they kept it separate.
Overall, I'm pretty satisfied. The majority of it does match here and I do like how certain events are broken out in relation to others. Like finding out TF&TWS finale is actually after Far From Home.
Like I've shared before, there's evidence that leans toward it. A lot of the backlash behind it was people not accepting Thor and Jane broke up later than they want to believe (even the book says it happens in 2017) and Groot's age (which as I've mentioned before he's a fictional being with a sporadic growth pattern and he grows right away when Peter tells him to go full Kaiju in Vol 3.). It's not a huge stretch he grew like he did within a couple months.Largely I think this works, the places that don't line up with our placements have reasoning for why they went a different way. If I'm being completely honest Love and Thunder is the only one I think I really disagree with.
That's great. Then our timeline (thank you again DIrishB - RIP) is on the right track from here on out.I had no doubts. There's a few that are different, but as some here know, I've personally agreed with what the book is saying when it comes to some of those placements. For the most part though, it's pretty close to here.
Oddly it doesn't, but like I said Fury's "last year" line regarding Thor also has to be ignored. I think we have to accept no matter what you're going to run into contradictions like this. I'm personally fine with 2024 for Eternals, although I'll admit it was probably the placement I needed to warm up to the most. If Marvel sees it as 2024, then that's enough for me to see it that way too. I'm thankful they at least have Shang-Chi placed correctly. Weird it's the only one that doesn't match Disney +.That's great. Then our timeline (thank you again DIrishB - RIP) is on the right track from here on out.
Eternals I'm kinda iffy on out of all of them. Does the book explain away the 5 years ago line?
Interesting about the 2nd image's implications.And finally for Dallas Kinard: The Events of Loki are shown to start during the time Heist but then seem to jump after "Loki Changes Heart". They pick up again right before Tony's Funeral and then continue past all the final events of Endgame to The Unravelling which is placed before WandaVision. So it seems you can safely place it after Endgame on your viewing order if you'd like
So they're probably keeping it secret for now. A story to be told another time.It shows the place he goes to separate from the timeline in it's own little box and just mentions he comes back after many decades. Nothing specific even saying no one knows what happens here after expect that it started with the dance they promised they'd share. It's enough to bring a tear to my nerdy eye lol
Fingers crossed!!So they're probably keeping it secret for now. A story to be told another time.
I like the explanation that Mysterio got the 616 from SelvigThe rest
Yeah I saw that fan theory a few times around (and personally what I went with myself). Curious if Marvel got the idea from the fans hereI like the explanation that Mysterio got the 616 from Selvig
Anyone else think "616" is just a standard "central" number given to sections of the multiverse with large numbers of branches?I like the explanation that Mysterio got the 616 from Selvig
So which episodes of Loki are set after the entirety of Endgame's events?And finally for Dallas Kinard: The Events of Loki are shown to start during the time Heist but then seem to jump after "Loki Changes Heart". They pick up again right before Tony's Funeral and then continue past all the final events of Endgame to The Unravelling which is placed before WandaVision. So it seems you can safely place it after Endgame on your viewing order if you'd like
