The MCU Timeline Fully Explained

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is getting massive. With 27 films (as of the making of this video) and a growing roster of TV shows, it's getting harder to keep track of the world's mightiest heroes and everyone associated with them, from gargantuan beings of infinite cosmic power to hot sauce-obsessed Russian assassins. The MCU has been going strong since 2008, but its story at this point covers thousands of years, and it can be hard to wrap your head around all the twists and turns. Looking to refresh yourself on all the MCU has offered up thus far? This is the MCU timeline, fully explained.

We goofed! Odin didn't slay Laufey in battle, just defeated him. We try to get everything right but in a video this big, a few things are bound to slip through the cracks! Thanks for keeping us on our toes!

This explanation deserves an oscar 👏
It's so intriguing....

[gtusharg]

You are amazing, you have explained the whole MCU Chronological order. Respect for the amount of time, research and editing that went into this.

This is 100 percent one of the best Marvel timeline breakdowns I've ever come across. Thank you for this!!

[richardjohnson]

This is a great way to get someone new up to speed on the MCU and it's a great refresher for fans as well. Of course it'll have to be updated yearly

[JimHetrick]

Respect for the amount of time, research and editing that went into this.

Excellent narration and guidance. Thank you for including the marvel tv shows. I didnt see any of them, so it was good to see how they fit in to the overall mcu. The summary of all movies and Disney+ series was brief yet super informative. I look forward to seeing this on an annual basis

[trusoldier]

This was indeed brilliant. I mean wow, I was sucked in as if this was a Marvel movie itself. Well done Looper, just when i thought it was explained before you have upped the bar even more. Bravo to you.

[franchesca]

As a person actually trying to learn and get extremely into MCU, this video is perfect. Like holy cow I can probably last in a conversation to an extent.

[allistertenpenny]

The fact that a whole Celestial almost emerged from underground during the same time as Wandavison is insane. Like you would think more people would have mentioned it during Wandavison.

[robertmcmath]

This presentation is the best. From pre-history up through current Disney+ show (Hawkeye), you've done a marvelous job at splicing the MCU together in one catchall of Marveldome.

[jasontbarnesesq]

Wow. This is unbelievably well conceived and executed. Truly well done! And thank you.

[flameroad]

Phase 1-3: infinity war saga
Phase 4-6: Multiverse War Saga

[hannahdureka]

Loved the entire thing! but you forgot wanda’s past with the mind stone

[ignatiusanene]

i thought i knew everything concerning the MCU, but this puts everything in perspective. Nicely done guys, i enjoyed every bit of it

[palainanoctem]

I watched a few films here and there, so when the infamous Thanos snap occurred I was in the dark. I didn't want to watch ALL of those films and TV shows just to catch up. Way too much.

Now I truly do not have to watch any of them for I am fully caught up. I LOVE YouTube and how people have this need to make videos like this.

[SolarDNA]

I love how you actually included the tv shows in the timeline!
