Marvel Cinematic Universe - Timeline

It's really a shame they stopped doing the one-shots. I wonder why they dropped the idea.

Probably wasn't worth the production cost. Meaning the One Shot exclusivity on the BluRays probably didn't help move many additional BluRay sales of the film's that included One Shots on the disc versus those that didn't have a One Shot.

I think that the Ant-Man timeline be revised so that
the post baskin robins takes place in August not late July. Scott gets out on July 17th looking for an electrical engineering job but settles for baskin robins since no one will hire him. Surely it took longer than 2 weeks for him to get discouraged enough to stop looking for a six figure job and settle for next to minimum wage. Plus companies don't typically hire engineers on the spot. It takes weeks or months.
August in my opinion is the safest bet.

Agreed. Once it comes out on DVD and I can break up the chapters and time coding, I'll definitely be placing most of the film in August.

Yeah I'd read that. Not sure why the rumors of an extended edition were absurd, given Whedon's and Feige's comments about what was cut for time, though. Seems like it'd be a smart marketing move on Marvel Studios pasty, especially given the success of X-Men - Days of Future Past: The Rogue Cut, or even the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit extended editions.

Those comments may have corroborated the rumor, but it came from reports of an email sent out by Amazon UK. That source can't stand on its own. Then Whedon said he wouldn't be doing a director's cut. So by absurd, I meant it was absurd that we all thought there was going to be an extended cut based on a screenshot of an email supposedly sent by Amazon UK.

Agreed. Personally, I think it's shortsighted to look at it that way when the shorts served as trial balloons and hype for AoS and AC. But it's hard to argue with the fact that they were basically taking a loss on them.

I disagree. Many, many upcoming products are revealed in that very manner (Amazon listings or accidental emails sent by Amazon advertising a product beforehand). Also, the idea of an extended version wasn't so absurd considering early on Whedon mentioned how much he'd had to cut.

After he and Feige came out and claimed there wouldn't be an extended version, yeah, thinking there would be afterwards is pretty absurd. But before that, there were perfectly valid reasons for thinking it was a possibility.

Yeah. I do wish they'd revive them, as they were a great way of continuing and adding to the existing films. But, with the extensive MCU presence on ABC and Netflix, perhaps it was unnecessary at this point.
 
The paper karen is reading @ 49:50 clearly states "Wednesday" That would make it the 17th of September 2014. I know days of the week dont ALWAYS line up in the MCU but the Sunday services did line up earlier in the season so there is no reason to doubt that this occurs on Wednesday. The news paper states that fisk was arrested "yesterday" thus the day before was the 16th. Following that logic back I believe that all dates from ben's funeral are actually off a day. Currently there is a 3 day gap between ben's death on the 10th and his funeral currently on the 13th. I believe it was assumed to be 3 days because according to Sgt Mahoney @ 17:50 the warehouse fire that occurred on the same day as ben's death was "few days back". A few is most often quantified as 3, however the word "few" is inherently ambiguous and could be a bit more than than 3 as well. One could very easily refer to 4 or 5 days ago as as a few days back and be completely justified.

This I propose that the following changes be made:

September 14
Daredevil 1x13: "Daredevil" (0:00:00 - 0:17:35)

September 15
Daredevil 1x13: "Daredevil" (0:17:36 - 0:27:38 )

September 16
Daredevil 1x13: "Daredevil" (0:27:39 - 0:49:49)

September 17
Daredevil 1x13: "Daredevil" (0:49:50 - 0:54:07)

Making my proposed changes would eliminate the current contradiction without creating any new contradictions.

Nice work. I'll look at that and make the changes.
 
I'm curious. Does anyone know when Coulson was heading the T.A.H.I.T.I. project? I know it was before avengers (May 2012) but not sure how far before. Any clues you guys are aware of?

Currently the flashback scenes during Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 2x07: "The Writing on the Wall" are presented as flashbacks and not truely integrated into the timeline (Im guessing due to the voiceover or coulson's out of body type of story telling?) I'm not saying I disagree with that choice. Just curious when it presumably happened.

That's exactly why they weren't integrated, due to the presentation of the scene (specifically due to, as you said, the out of body/voiceover thing).

What's the reasoning for Daredevil taking place between AoS 2x06 and 2x07.
Click to expand...

That's the only viable place to insert the events of Daredevil. Most of AoS Season 2's episodes follow immediately after the previous, so there aren't many opportunities for breaks to insert such events.

We know AoS Season 2 starts in late 2014 (though no specific months or days). We also know that Daredevil occurs from August to September, 2014.

Thus, that seemed the most logical place to insert it. It's entirely possible the events of Daredevil are occurring at the same time as at least some of the early episodes of AoS Season 2, but for simplicity's sake I just inserted the entirety of Daredevil there.
 
He messes up some of the details (particularly surrounding Agent Carter), but this is a pretty cool, if long, video explaining the story of the MCU in chronological order.

Nice! I didn't make the connection with Skye and Matt both living at St. Agnes Orphanage in the early '90s until this. More of an easter egg than real continuity, but still nice. The other cool name-drop between the two series that I know of is that Jack Murdock's heartbreaking final fight was against Carl Creel.

There's not enough information about AoS dates to propose a better alternative, but I just watched AoS 2x06 and 2x07 and there is not really any time between them. 2x06 ends with Ward on the run and 2x07 begins with him making his first steps to escape the SHIELD manhunt. Already in 2x05, Coulson's urge to write the Words of Creation is getting out-of-hand, which is the topic of 2x07.

A day, maybe two, could have passed before SHIELD tracked Ward to the bus station where he kept his money/passport/etc bag. But not over a month. Like I said, though, I have no idea what to do about it. There's no logical way to intersperse DD and AoS, even though they certainly overlap. And doing it arbitrarily feels wrong. I think this will always just be a part of the timeline that frustrates me.

Is it possible to move AoS 2x01-2x06 to after the events of Daredevil without causing any issues? So that the season flows pretty much continuously from late 2014 to early/mid 2015?
 
This might be possible. The time markers I am aware of is that it begins after "all winter" presumably spring but I don't recal a direct spring reference. Episode 6 references it's an election year so up to that point it has to be before November 2014. We also know that the season contains some sort of time jump between episode 5 and 6 since could ins writing goes from every 18 days or so to every day. The final marker I found which can be contributed to limations in film making but would be nice if it lined up occurs a couple episodes after ward escape. It's the episode that begins with Raina's encounter with 33 in Vancouver. Raina is wearing fall (or spring?) attire and the leaves in the background can be seen. That would indicate sept or October 2014. It's a puzzle that's for sure.

Would placing AOS's beginning in sept 2014 with a time jump to spring 2015 work? It would shorten the season without any blatant continuity conflicts.

Thinking that may be the way to go, then.

The "all winter" line could've just referred to the fact Talbot chased the team during the winter months of Dec, 2013-Feb, 2014, and then backed off or something else caught Talbot's attention/focus during Spring & Summer of 2014, with AoS Season 2 picking up in late 2014 (September or October) and running through into early/mid 2015.

Of course the flashback in 2x20 showing Coulson getting the Helicarrier for Fury occurs a year before, while also tying in with the events of 2x01, so it might be best to retain the span of time between episodes 5 and 6.

forgot about the helicarrier. Thats a firmly established MCU date. So it definately starts in spring 2014. Is it possible that there is a gap between the first few episodes and episode six. perhaps it starts in the spring. jumps to fall then continues till may 2015?
