I can't begin to imagine how many separate parts my version actually would have, especially with the Ward flashbacks that take place and the fact that I deviated from this timeline for Iron Man 2, Thor and Hulk to match it more with the official timeline .

I did put parts together, the Ward flashbacks are edited together as they are saved in the same resolution and the Hulk/ Iron Man/ Thor parts are edited in the timeline created on here to, just in hour and a half segments. Most of my timeline is in parts that alternate between TV and film

I've only had the chance to watch episode 1 now, but hot damn Daredevil is awesome. Trying to figure out the placement.
Page: The last two years have transformed the business.
Murdock: Yeah, the world watched half of New York get destroyed.
So that would be this year atleast.
There's a shot of the New York Bulletin at the end, but the date is unreadable.

I'm on episode 6, seems it can be placed anywhere at the moment, can only wait for some form of reference but I would currently place it before AoS season 2. The flashbacks have to be early 90's, possible on the timeline after the Guardians intro?

Yeah, it's definitely a little over two years since the Battle of New York/Chitauri invasion in the first Avengers film. As you said, they mentioned the Union Allied construction ramping up to rebuild parts of NYC (mostly Hell's Kitchen). Since there usually isn't a long wait between destruction/reconstruction in most instances, I'd say Daredevil likely occurs towards the end of 2014.
There's a scene where Leland Owlsley is talking with the Chechens and mentions it's cold, but it's not outright winter since it's not snowing and no one seems to be wearing heavy clothing/coats for winter. I'd estimate it's late in the year of 2014, mid to late Fall, so around October/November, but that's just a guess, based on it being cold at night (especially high up as in that scene at a building construction site) but apparently still comfortable during the daytime.
Agreed. It definitely occurs sometime in 2014, and at least 2 years after mid 2012 (when Avengers occurs). So I'd say Daredevil likely occurs before AoS Season 2 begins.
As for the flashbacks, we know Matt is 9 years old when he's blinded. I'm hoping they mention or reference his current age so we can be sure exactly what year the flashbacks occur.
Given Matt and Foggy are just starting their firm, and Karen Page's case is their first, it stands to reason Matt and Foggy have only recently passed the bar, so I'd estimate their ages at being in their mid or late 20's. So that'd place the flashbacks in the mid to late 1990's, something like between 1995-1999.

Yeah we would need a current age, I guessed him to be late 20's, 30 at the oldest. So perhaps after Ward leaves the campsite then?
Just as my Phase 1 video is complete, I have to redo it. Then again I knew I would due to not having Agent Carter on it, probably when that is out on DVD is when I'll change it.
Now onto making a phase 2 edit, god knows how long that will be with all the AoS episodes involved

You really will, it goes back to the 90's, late 2010's and even the 70's

I would say the flashbacks shown in the first episode of Daredevil (when Matt is blinded) likely take place a year or two before Ward even goes to the campsite (after being bailed out by Garrett). At that point Matt is 9. If I recall correctly Grant Ward was 15 (or maybe 16) when Garrett came and offered him the chance, so Ward likely would've been around 13-14 at the time Matt was blinded, ergo Ward is around 4-5 years older than Matt Murdock (likely early 30's in the present day). Of course flashbacks in the other 12 Daredevil episodes may jump forward in time (they may even help lay out the timeline some regarding Matt's age, law school, etc).
It's also interesting that Matt and Foggy seem to be starting a law firm immediately out of law school/passing the bar. I'd think most would join an established firm right out of law school, however the fact they're starting their own does make sense in relation to Matt's character of incorruptibility and his refusal to defend clients who are actually guilty (hence Karen Page being Matt and Foggy's first client). It also leads me to think Matt and Foggy are in their mid-20's, 23-27, since they're jumping right into their own firm and its their first case. Unless they both took several years off from school at some point (which in Matt's case makes sense given his level of training... though I'm not sure how the timeline with Stick will work out... will he still be alive in the present day, and if not when did he die or stop training Matt? The full show will be out tomorrow so hopefully most of those questions will be answered or at least narrowed down more.
Yeah, honestly, I'd wait and just do updated versions every year or two (for your own sanity), adding in the existing clips/flashbacks where necessary, with the biggest additions being all the "present day" new stuff, of course (though I'm sure that's easier than cutting in the newer flashback scenes).
Plus AoS still occasionally does a flashback to the time between 1940 to 2000, as well more recent stuff.
Adding all the AoS and Agent Carter stuff will be a pain and extend the file sizes by a fair amount depending on video quality... but I still urge you to do it, even if you have to break it up into a lot of separate files (a pain in the rear, I know, but worth it for the completists

AOS season 2 begins in the spring of 2014. Talbot had been chasing them "all winter", implying it's just now spring. It's an election year (2014) but the election is implied to be a long time away.
Looking back you are right, perhaps before Ward meets Garret then. Having just seen the last episode, I think it will be safe to place all of Murdocks flashbacks together which is nice and simple

The main idea was to give me a great big binge to watch before Age of Ulton is released, not sure how often I'd watch it afterwards maybe once in a while. I've already got the AoS flashbacks added and the bigger pain anyway is just waiting around for the video to be created once I've stuck it together, 1 hour to create 30 minutes is roughly the timescale. Adding in a new flashback into the middle of a part isn't too bad at all, once I've cut the bit out of the original file it would be a simple a drag and drop or so into the project.

Right. But we need to find at least one break point during Season 2 to account for the upcoming AoS episodes that cross over with Avengers - Age of Ultron (which likely is set around its release date in Spring, 2015). I suppose its possible to apply the one episode per week approach with it, but even that wouldn't line up with spanning Spring, 2014 to spring, 2015 (around a 52 week period, give or take a few weeks) without a noticeable break point among the episodes. I can't remember a point yet where that's been the case. The biggest break point I've noticed was between 2x10 "What They Become" and 2x11 "Aftershocks", with Skye in the quarantine cell, and even that seems to account for only a few days or MAYBE a few weeks at most. But from what I remember the episodes in Season 2 follow each other pretty consecutively and closely, one after another, without much time, if any, between episodes. Its going to be tricky lining up the AoS Age of Ultron episodes in respect to the rest of Season 2.
Again, its most likely just a case of the show writers not really paying attention to the timeline, at least in the meta sense of how it ties in with the greater MCU narrative. Really wish they'd get tighter control over that. Adopting at least one or two "monster of the week" episodes that don't necessarily and obviously follow immediately after the previous episodes would allow for a more fluid approach to the timeline in terms of stretching it out over the span of the airing season.
For now I'm placing the flashbacks with Matt blinded and soon after Ward is recruited by Garrett in 1998. That would make Matt around 24-25 years old. Again, just a guess and if info in the future alters that I can easily fix it.

I did notice one date in the first episode of Daredevil. At the 0:50:04 mark, the Asian gang leaders are looking over plans for construction on Hell's Kitchen, and in the lower right hand corner of the plans the date is clearly given as 10/18. However, that likely only reflects the date the plans were made, and not necessarily with the date the episode occurs (though it could indicate it occurs sometime soon after, maybe a few days or weeks after, who knows?). While it doesn't narrow things down much, it does help provide at least a likely time of year (Fall, as I presumed).

I believe their was a break of at least a few weeks or more right before Phil figures out that the map is a city. If I recall his writing was occurring about every 18 days and then they were all the time. Presumably some time passed as they gradually got closer. I really need to rewatch to be certain.

Yeah, but that still falls far short of the amount of time needed to line it all up.

Episode 7, Matt is confirmed to be nine when he had his accident. He meets stick within a year or so. Present day Matt says Stick has been gone 20 years, so Murdock is in his 30's.

Ok, cool. Any idea how long Matt trained with Stick for? 1 year? A few years?

Nothing confirmed yet, they've only had two flashbacks together.

In the background of one of their flashbacks, there's a big Costa calender on the wall that says 1987. 20 years on would place present day in 2014.
