If someone can provide a list of all the video tie-in promotional stuff that's canon, that would be very helpful.
I don't have time to go through all that.Well, I know the entire Vought YouTube channel is, basically.
I'm still trying to figure that out since in Gen V episode 7 has the date "May 28, 2019" on a newspaper talking about the plane crash from Boys 1x04.Is there a specific reason why the later portion of S1 is placed in August? I'm currently rewatching the series (finally getting around to Gen V for the first time) and I'm on 2x01 and so far the only references I've seen to dates are the Believe Expo in 1x05 running June 6th-10th and in 2x01 Translucent's public death being given as 2020. Right now I'm coming up with:
1x01-1x04- May 2020.
1x05- June 2020 (Sometime between the 6th-10th).
1x06-1x08- June 2020
2x01- August/September 2020 (Hughie mentions seeing Annie at the Teen Choice Awards which usually occurs in August).
I'm a little confused about where some of the other specific dates are coming from. I'm also confused with 1x02 how there's a 4-day time jump when scenes placed on May 25th feel like they should be the day after 1x01 ends.
Edit: A certain character's obituary in 2x02 (I know it's been a few years but still figured I'd avoid spoilers) shows they died on September 30th, 2020.
Looks like a similar problem to Runaways where each season is treated as its release year, even though they clearly can't be. After finishing S1, I didn't notice anything confirming 2019, however, 2x01 has Translucent's public death as 2020 and I'm not sure if you caught my edit, but there's a September 30th, 2020 date in 2x02. I think the May 28th at the very least can be kept, since it fits with the June 6th-10th mention in 1x05.I'm still trying to figure that out since in Gen V episode 7 has the date "May 28, 2019" on a newspaper talking about the plane crash from Boys 1x04.
This timeline is all f-cked up. I'll go back and look at this when I'm not busier than God right now.Looks like a similar problem to Runaways where each season is treated as its release year, even though they clearly can't be.

Since I'm currently running through everything, I can help out some if you wouldn't mind.This timeline is all f-cked up. I'm going to go back and look at this when I'm not busier than God right now.
Ok.Since I'm currently running through everything, I can help out some if you wouldn't mind.
Already gave some placement notes in this post. Doesn't cover all the videos, but AFAIK, they're all canon moreorless.If someone can provide a list of all the video tie-in promotional stuff that's canon, that would be very helpful.
Starlight said she was with The Seven "a few months" in 1x05.Going through S1 using the evidence I've gathered so far, I've come up with this:
1x01- May 2020
1x02- May 2020
1x03- May 2020
1x04- May 28th-29th, 2020 (The race from 1x03 is said to be "last week", so there should be a bigger time jump. I don't see anything specifically placing 1x01-1x03, which is why I just went with May. And of course the 28th comes from the paper in Gen V. There's an ad for the Believe Expo running June 6th-10th, which fits.)
1x05- June 6th, 2020 (I'm just assuming the Expo is its opening day).
1x06- June 2020 (The only specific reference to time is that it's been two weeks since the Expo, so I just went with June).
1x07- June 2020 (The episode picks up shortly after 1x06).
1x08- June 2020 (The episode picks up shortly after 1x07).
With the time jump from 1x08-2x01, I see nothing that contradicts this so far.
1x02 picks up right after 1x01, 1x03 picks up right after 1x02, and 1x04 is said to be a week after 1x03. I don't see how she could be with the Seven for a few months unless you push some of 1x01 back into April with her maybe referring to when she got the confirmation and it then took time for her to officially join. I do feel the June 6th-10th referring to the Expo is pretty concrete though since it's shown on the TV and mentioned in the dialogue.Starlight said she was with The Seven "a few months" in 1x05.
I don't remember where that June 6th-10th was in the episode.1x02 picks up right after 1x01, 1x03 picks up right after 1x02, and 1x04 is said to be a week after 1x03.

It's in a commercial for the Expo in 1x04, while Hughie and Annie are bowling. If that episode is around May 28th, it makes sense an event running from June 6th-10th would be advertising.I don't remember where that June 6th-10th was in the episode.
