Marvel Cinematic Universe - Timeline

Now obviously the MCU has contradicted the days of the week before, but September 23rd is a Friday in 2016, not 2017.

Maybe you're right and that dance is going to be set in 2017, but there are rumours that the movie will span the entire school year, so it's possible that the movie begins in September 2016 and last until June or July 2017 (switch would align with the release date).

I think as long as it's just a tentative placement and this ticket is the only thing we have to go on, we should take it at face value and set it in September 2016.

As you said, the day of the week/date thing doesn't align with real world dates so to do so now would be odd.

We'll see, it may occur in 2016 but one thing I do agree with in regards to the real world placement is at least the release year. With the exception of a few films (Cap-TFA, Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk) the films all occur in at least the year they're released. And in IM2 and IH's case they were retconned to occurring in 2011 after their release.

The other thing is, if the film lasts the whole school year, well, that's weird, given the Homecoming dance happens in September and is presumably set towards end of film (probably a third act scene just before the final villain fight at climax), so I'm not sure how the film can cover the whole school year when taking that into account.

Guess we'll see.

But yeah, I wouldn't worry about the day of the week, as said those have never aligned correctly.
 
I appreciate that you dedicated so much time to answer my questions. But I still not agree with you. I do not consider the dates given on the MCU products as an exactly date. For me those are props. I still believing in real time placemente. Different opinions I thought but not for that I would not appreciate your work. I work in the MCU Wikia and work hard with the TIMELINE Articles. I believe in real time like them and I prefer our timeline because we are following the real time placement that Marvel gave us but nof tor all the products their release. Yes I know it sounds contradictory but I use that timeline to watch all my MCU Blu Ray. I have every MCU Blu Ray except the Netflix Shows. I am looking forward for those :D GREAT Work doing your timeline BTW. Oh yes if you are considering so hard the dates given on the shows why do not you consider the December 7, 2014 that we can read if you look with attention on the Newspaper from DD1 Episode 13 season finale? That would make more sense to your placement for February-march Jessica Jones due to the appearance of the "UNION ALLIED SCANDAL ARTICLE". Is an advice... the season 1 of Daredevil ends in December 7, 2014 according that newspaper.
 
Also if you realize the placement for the episodes and movies of each tv series are practically the same with some differences with the AoS2-DD1 at the same time and AoS3-DD2 at the same time (episode 9-14). Anyway the think is that we have to see the episode and movie in the exactly order because that is the increidlbe thing of the MCU see how the history emerges into one. MCU IS LIFE! :D
 
It sounds like the film versions being kicked around before this were MCU, so maybe. But IMO, they have to make it before it can be a part of anything...I dunno about everyone else, but the nonappearance of Most Wanted, Damage Control, and the unresolved Agent Carter cliffhanger have me a little skeptical of any future TV projects...

Damage Control wasn't cancelled, we just haven't had news on it...which is normal.

I'm pretty sure Damage Control was cancelled. This isn't normal. It was first announced as being developed last October, was mentioned once as in active development by ABC President Paul Lee... and then he got canned, nothing was said since, and his replacement seems to be far more wary and careful about Marvel projects. Either it's being heavily redeveloped, or it just got canned. I'm leaning more towards canned, with the potential for Marvel to return to it eventually.
 
I'm pretty sure that the deal was that even if it was cancelled, they have to air the pilot

They are props, but they go out of their way to add dates (a year or more ahead from when they're filming to be close to the release date, usually within a month or two like Civil War's case) to establish the internal timeline in the films. They're not just arbitrarily adding dates to props. They intentionally align with when the film/TV show is meant to take place.

Whatever works for you, but it's an inherently illogical approach to ignore hard dates provided in the films themselves in favor of release dates that aren't at all corroborated by any other evidence at all.

Honestly I didn't notice that date, I'll have to re-check that.

EDIT: Fixed for that. Adjusted the DD Season 1 episodes to run from late October to early December based on the newspaper date. The newspaper date takes precedence since its a hard date on an official newspaper, whereas the cell phone date could easily be wrong based on the person who owns it not accurately setting the correct date.


Most likely.

Not exactly. The deal with a put pilot is they are expected to air it, and if they don't, they'll pay a penalty to the studio. It wouldn't be the first time a network has chosen not to go forward with a put pilot. While I would love to see it happen, being that NOTHING of substance has been said about it, even when both Most Wanted and Cloak and Dagger were discussed at the TCAs, and the new ABC President's comments about moving forward carefully with Marvel properties and look for only top quality series from them, I'm thinking that iteration of Damage Control is dunzo.
 
They referenced Damage Control in an Agents of SHIELD episode in March

The same show that sent off two of its characters to go headline another series... that didn't come to fruition.

Like I said, I'd love to see it come out. But as new ABC President Channing Dungey likely wants to focus on new projects developed under her watch, and nothing has been said about it concretely since its original announcement, it's looking unlikely imo.

Yeah, I can't say either way, but this is specifically why I haven't added the newly announced shows like that, Cloak and Dagger, etc to the timeline, as we don't know if they'll actually come to fruition/air.
 
They introduced them in one of the tie-In comics.

Fast Friends isn't canon, but they were introduced in Iron Man

One thing that I thought was really cool is that in the second season [of 'Daredevil'], we had a scene together and in the storyline we hadn't seen each other for a long time and it takes place at the hospital. Roasario had -- Claire Temple has a cut in her eyebrow. So I was like, 'What is that?' Apparently it had nothing to do with our world but it's part of 'Luke Cage.' The timeline had been thought through and worked out so that whatever's going on in 'Luke Cage,' which we don't know, I don't know, somehow at some point during that show, the next day she's in the hospital talking to me.

Cool.
 
Hi, I am thinking and I think you should move a little bit Jessica Jones Season 1... from the end of the winter beggining in March and ending in April beggining of Spring. And with AoS2 I think that the Scars episode 20 flashbakcs could happen perfectly in 2014 but in September-October: Scars in Septmeber 2014, One month later on October Skye has spend investigating the Words of Creation for a month. And Episode 3 can happen in December 2014 with the episode 4 being in January 2015 like the rest of the season.

Nope. Again, Jessica Jones definitively starts in winter, either in late January/early February, as clearly shown by the date on the piece of paper relating to Malcolm's wife's death that Jessica committed when under the control of Kilgrave a year prior. It's clearly still winter based on the weather and clothing they're wearing. By season's end its transitioned into Spring.

And with AoS2 I think that the Scars episode 20 flashbakcs could happen perfectly in 2014 but in September-October: Scars in Septmeber 2014, One month later on October Skye has spend investigating the Words of Creation for a month. And Episode 3 can happen in December 2014 with the episode 4 being in January 2015 like the rest of the season.

Don't forget the "all winter" comment (regarding Talbot chasing them) in 2x01. Obviously that's meant to be a recent thing, as I doubt Talbot would chase them all winter then stop and not pursue them for the rest of the year through September. That's illogical. Unless now you suggest ignoring dialogue in addition to hard dates on props? ;)

Even the recent revelation of Luke Cage occurring around or at same time as Daredevil Season 2 disputes the "release date approach" the MCU wikia and you're using. Obviously Luke Cage must occur around November/December, 2015, and not September, 2016 as its release date is.

Like I said, there's just too much evidence against the "release date" approach. I prefer to utilize the props, since its clear they design and place dates seen on props to coincide with the intended timeline setting of each entry. Sometimes that does align with release date, but often it doesn't. To ignore evidence like that doesn't make sense.
