Timeline Hub

huh, so MGM officially stated that non live-action tie-ins are not canon... WTF

so a broad timeline without going too deep yet looks like this:

Stargate
Stargate Origins/Stargate Origins: Catherine
Stargate: SG-1 (few last seasons interchangeably with Atlantis 1-3)
Stargate: Atlantis (Season 1-3)
Stargate: The Ark of Truth
Stargate: Continuum
Stargate: Atlantis (Seasons 4&5)
Stargate: Universe
40 SGU short films
Stargate: Infinity

And if we reject the concept that the non live-action media isn't canon (I mean, isn't that the same deal for Star Trek?), where does that leave everything else?

I mean manga and anime are in different continuities, also it's way too much on the anime side for me. If I would want to cover both on one timeline I think i would wait for The One Piece as it's supposed to be the same as the original anime but more smooth animation. It will be way easier to cover.

Unfortunately I can't help. The anime is way too long and I don't have enough free time to help covering it.

nah, the animated shows are canon for Star Trek. but comics and novels no clue

Likewise Star Wars. It's generally the more "adult" animation that gets treated as canon (i.e. The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, The Witcher, the Dark Knight trilogy, the DCU, The Blade Runner)

Whoever told you that had hot air coming out of their arse, because that's incorrect. The Toei anime is pretty much adapting the manga to near-perfection.

I mean, if there's an anime adaptation of a manga, you can expect it to adapt the anime one-to-one (IE: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, My Hero Academia, Chainsaw Man etc...), usually with some minor changes to fit the anime format.

On the other hand, you have animes that usually deviate from the manga in favour of an original story, largely due to the source not being finished in time (IE: Fullmetal Alchemist 2003, Akame ga Kill etc...)

As for the One Piece anime, it falls into the former category.

I think it's easier to accept adaptations that have small differences to be different universes because those small differences couldn't occur the same with the original work. That's probably the assumption, I don't have a leg in this race though seeing as though I barely know of any anime-based continuity, at least strongly.

That's if we're only considering comics and whatnot. The problem is that comics and manga are two different things. Hence, the adaptation for Invincible is likely an alternate universe to the comics (I mean, narrative deviatations and race/genderswaps aside), whereas an anime adaptation for My Dress-Up Darling is pretty much a straightforward adaptation of the manga, meaning that it's essentially the same universe, but animated and with the characters now voiced.

That's how it always works with novels and movie adaptations so Western audiences would assume it's probably the same way

Has anyone ever tackled The Scorpion King/The Mummy franchise?

Issue:
1. The Mummy (2017) is canon to it. Not just an easter egg either because they confirmed it's canon.

2. They suggested all Universal Monsters-related media is part of the Dark Universe canon. They're just taking it in a new direction. There's easter eggs to the Gillman and vampires in that very film.

3. The Mummy: Dark Universe Stories mobile game (which is a sequel to the movie) crosses over with The Mummy's Hand film series, which is obviously part of the Universal Monsters lineup of films. Renfield is a sequel to Dracula (1931) by the way.

I guess if we're trying to be minimalistic, maybe you could use The Mummy (2017) as a cutoff point for simplicity.

Source? Not saying I don't believe you because I'm open to adding 2017's movie. Just was curious where they said it was indeed canon with no contradictions or issues.
