X-Men Cinematic Universe - Timeline (Revised & Original)

Damn, now I want timelines covering the 1940s-1990s Marvel Live-Action universes just because. I actually have watched most of Dr. Strange (1978), and am hoping to finish it soon. It's... a hard watch, I would say. Morgan le Fay is trying to seduce Doctor Strange for some reason...

The Incredible Hulk, The Amazing Spider-Man and Toei Spider-Man would be the big ones anyway. This doesn't have to do with the MLAM timelines thread by the way, it's just an interesting idea.

Also, Earth-616 Iron Man has an Exo-Man (Amongus) suit from the 1977 Exo-Man film, which is commonly confused to be a 1970s Iron Man due to a fan video or something. Either way, Exo-Man has nothing to do with Marvel, I just thought it was funny how they referenced it.

This is just hypotheticals by the way, there ain't any ideas or plans for any of this, it's just a bit of musing.

Just change the dates in the comic to match the series then. The Punisher (2004)'s prequel comic contradicts it's September 2003 placement and yet I would still keep it canon.

Sounds like what you have to do with the two live-action GI Joe movies (not Snake-Eyes) with it's tie-in material, since the 2nd film takes place in just under 2 weeks after the first film - but if you ignore the "weeks later" stamps in the tie-in comics it fits day-by-day barely.

A quick skimming through these, here's the order of those in-between stories:
1.) Operation H.I.S.S. comic - Cobra Commander and Destro remain captured, Storm Shadow is discovered to be alive. (Also, substitute the "weeks later"s for "hours later" in the story and there's no discrepancies.)
2.) G.I. JOE: Rise of Cobra (sequel video game) - Baroness escapes but game ends with her recaptured, while Cobra Commander and Destro escape
3.) G.I. JOE: Retaliation Prequel comic - ...I can't find info about the last two issues, so I'll assume Storm Shadow gets away at the end. BUT, he is now leader of the Red Ninja clan which he is shown to be still leading in the...
4.) Operation H.I.S.S. animated shorts - Baroness escapes at the start, but by the end Storm Shadow and Cobra Commander, implicitly Baroness AND Destro offscreen(?), all recaptured by the end

Then there's the 2nd film. Honestly, I can easily interpret the timespan of these 4 stories as happening as under 10 days tbh.

G.I. JOE: Rise of Cobra (film) - August 9-11th, 2015
Operation H.I.S.S. (comic) - August 11-13th, 2015
G.I. JOE: Rise of Cobra (video game) - August 13 - 14th, 2015
G.I. JOE: Retaliation Prequel (comic) - August 14-16th, 2015(?; I don't own the trade paperback)
Operation H.I.S.S. (animated shorts) - August 16-17th, 2015
G.I. JOE: Retaliation (film) - August 17-21st, 2015

I believe The Gifted fits best before Logan (The New Mutants ->The Gifted -> Logan)

The X-Men are referenced in The New Mutants as active but don't appear. The Gifted backstory is a reasonable match for Logan, where the X-Men are similarly famous but known to have mysteriously disappeared, while accidental civilian deaths by mutant powers have led to a clampdown where mutant kids are hunted down, but not by giant autonomous androids like in Days of Future Past etc., but by human teams with drones (and the occasional mutant-brainwashed-by-evil-corporation) like in Logan's ending.

You're wrong. (Sorry if that comes off as aggressive, that's not my intent)

1. Logan is officially set in Earth-17315. The Gifted is officially Earth-17372.
2. The Gifted is set in 2017-2018. The timeline is incompatible.
3. No mutants have been born for 25 years by the events of Logan. There are mutant kids younger than 25. Heck, the main characters are. The only reason The New Mutants has an excuse here is because the mutants are taken away from the public eye before they can be known.

The only way The Gifted could be canon is in the original timeline, but the problem with that is that the reality numbers are completely different. The only solution to this might be to assume that The Gifted takes place in multiple universes because of Kitty Pryde's time travel. In other words, the events of the original X-Men films occur in two timelines in Days of Future Past:
1. The prologue, where the Sentinels kill everyone and Kitty sends Bishop back in time.
2. The future scenes post-intro, the timeline where Kitty sends Wolverine back in time... before the Sentinels kill everyone again.

Technically, one of those timelines aren't necessarily Earth-10005, but the events are the exact same - just like The Gifted could be both Earth-17372 and Earth-10005 despite the events being the exact same. Despite these assumptions, The Gifted is still set in Earth-17372 to be intentionally separated from the X-Men film universe regardless of the showrunners conflicted statements and it is the cleanest for it to remain that way.

if anything, it would have happened in the gap between 2015 (the wolverine) and 2023 (days of future past) before the initial reset

I don't think that's a problem if Logan's set in 2029. The 12 years since 2017 just means the kids have to be over 13 on the show, which I think fits fine.

There's a "what happened the X-Men?" plotline in The Gifted that gets a tragic resolution in Logan, but doesn't fit too well with the "active team in a post-apocalyptic world" in Days of Future Past.
 
The Gifted is another timeline.

I'm more concerned about how Logan fits into this after Deadpool 3 and if that's even Earth-17315 or Logan gets broken off from that after Secret Wars.
