For the past 21 weeks, I have been re-watching the movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe; combing over minute, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it details in an attempt to assemble a definitive, undeniable timeline for these movies. In a minute I’m going to talk about why this was a stupid, agonizing thing to do, but there’s one movie left … Continue reading The Unofficial MCU Timeline Finale – CAPTAIN MARVEL and Postmortem
Here it is. It all comes down to this. Kind of. I’m going to do one more of these going over Captain Marvel to the extent that I’m able to without access to a home video release and the capacity to grab screencaps followed by a sort of post-mortem on the whole project, but for now, … Continue reading The Unofficial MCU Timeline, Part 20 – ANT-MAN AND THE WASP
Let’s go back to the beginning. I started this whole project as a response to the new, official timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I’ve been keeping track of the timeline for my own personal edification for a couple years now, but I never went through the trouble of doing the legwork to show my … Continue reading The Unofficial MCU Timeline, Part 19 – AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR
We’ve got another easy one this week. When Black Panther came out just over a year ago, it created huge waves throughout the genre of superhero movies and the broader pop culture. If the Academy Award for Best Picture was awarded simply in terms of cultural legacy, Black Panther unquestionably deserved the trophy that Green Book regrettably took … Continue reading The Unofficial MCU Timeline, Part 18 – BLACK PANTHER
We’re almost done now. I’ve been doing this silly project for 17 weeks now, and after a few instances of pretty drastic reshuffling, the timeline is starting to look pretty solid. I’m still worried Infinity War is gonna throw a wrench in a the last minute, but you know what movie’s not going to cause any … Continue reading The Unofficial MCU Timeline, Part 17 – THOR: RAGNAROK
This is it. Spider-Man: Homecoming. The movie that supposedly broke the timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The movie whose depiction of events has been famously called “incorrect” by some of Marvel’s most prominent filmmakers. The movie that – in a roundabout way – inspired me to do this whole dumb series in the first place. … Continue reading The Unofficial MCU Timeline, Part 16 – SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING
For the most part with this series, I’ve chosen not to do much in the way of critical analysis, opting instead to commit fully to bit of this just being pedantic nonsense (mostly just because there’s no way I can tie any of this back into some grander statement; it’s all just dumb bullshit). The … Continue reading The Unofficial MCU Timeline, Part 15 – GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2
Last week’s entry saw the biggest disruption in the timeline to date, so it’s nice to ease back into things with one that’s pretty straight forward. The timeline of Doctor Strange is pretty straight forward, but it’s also unusual in its own unique way. It’s not immediately obvious, but the story of this film spans a … Continue reading The Unofficial MCU Timeline, Part 14 – DOCTOR STRANGE
The Avengers is the lynchpin movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s weird, messed up timeline. depending on which detail from which movie you want to prioritize at any given moment, the film can take place in either 2009 or 2012. But it’s not just that one movie that shifts back and forth through time. By … Continue reading The Unofficial MCU Timeline, Part 13 – CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
So, let’s take a step back. We’re now finishing up Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a lot of my preconceived notions going into this have proven to be incorrect. The timeline we have so far is beginning to look much closer to Marvel’s official chronology than I initially expected (though there are … Continue reading The Unofficial MCU Timeline, Part 12 – ANT-MAN
