that Timeline png is the biggest image I have ever downloaded

[DamonWhatif]

This was the best MCU Timeline I’ve seen!! Amazing work, can tell you put A LOT of time into it

[Zzzzzzz]

It’s really crazy seeing how far we’re gotten in the MCU, I remember the exact day when the first Avengers film came out I was so hyped, to the time I was wondering when will spider man, strange, black Panther would be in the MCU, now I’m looking forward to the F4, Blade, and X-men, I’ll come back to this comment in a couple years and say wow I remember the time I was wondering when they’d be in the MCU

[Andres_was_here]

Awesome vid! It's crazy how much stuff occurs in the 2013-2018 space and it's great to finally have a connective viewing order for the multiverse titles

[DedricSilva]

I'm so happy the MCU expanded to the multiverse which makes the franchise more immersive. Here's hoping that X Men movies are canon to the MCU's multiverse in the future especially since Deadpool is coming.

[MarshallLS]

Again, the best timeline of the MCU out there. Great job, man.

[grafffuller]

That was TRULY epic. Thank you so much for everything that you've done to create this incredible MCUTimeline for all of us fans. Thank you.

[sparkshock]

It should also be noted that while Ralph Bohner didn’t turn out to be the Quicksilver from the Fox X-Men films, Wanda DOES recognize him as her brother in Wandavision.

Maybe Wanda can somewhat sense that Ralph is mimicking a Quicksilver from another universe?
We know for a fact that Agatha can see through the multiverse with the Darkhold. She definitely knew what she was doing.

I’d say while the Fox X-Men stuff isn’t required watching for the MCU Multiverse right now, it definitely deserves an honorable mention.

[austinrickards]

I think for a full multiversal viewing order, watching the sacred timeline up to Loki and "What If?" would be a great place to rewind and look at Peter 2, Peter 3, and Venom's timelines up to those points (and any other universes added past here, not spoiling dr strange). Then resuming with WandaVision and keeping on with the sacred timeline/MCU propper. I say this because we find that in Loki, the other universes aren't created yet, so I think it should be Captain America the first avenger up to What If? As you've presented, then Tobeys spiderman trilogy, Andrew's Spiderman duology, Venoms duology (with Morbius of course), and any other universes created past today's date.

Also not true for when Venom comes to the MCU. He learned multiversal knowledge sometime after let there be carnage, and based on when the other villains came it could've been any time past that date technically

[AndreeMon]

I just adore the time and effort being put into this video, you can really tell that this guy REALLY loves the MCU, you can feel it in his voice. Thanks man!

[reinaldocascante]

It is actually smart that Agents of Shield ended during those 5 years the avengers nor any other hero existed. It just makes sense. And could tie incredibly with Secret Invasion

[prettymuchanobody]

"How are we on the timeline?"
Wow that was genuinely hilarious! good one

[ratoni]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VID FOR 2 YEARS!!! LET'S GOOO
Edit: Just finished the vid. It was worth the wait. I personally started a project in which various pieces of fiction happen in one universe and this vid is helping me since I added MCU in it. Hope Marvel hires you one day, it really shows that you were dedicated to this timeline.

[JjofYt]

Just wait till Deadpool 3 gets released that’s probably gonna add a few more universes to the timeline if Deadpool truly is going to be added to the MCU in that film

[mulakaluke]

This was amazing Dakota :D
I'm maybe planning on watching it in this order after I finish school in the summer, as I've only watched a handful of the Marvel TV shows :)
Keep up the fantastic work and I hope that Marvel someday takes notice of your incredible timeline talent. :D

[jacksonholsomback]

These videos really deserve much more attention. I really appreciate all the work put in to make sense of such a convoluted timeline. Great work!

Great video! I imagine the next update will include the 90s’ animated universe and the Fox X-Men universe with the introduction of Deadpool and X-Men 97 into the MCU.

[ethanryan]

Your timeline is definitely the best I have seen for the MCU and it's Multiverse, I can't wait to see what it looks like for decades to come!!!

[wolvesboya]

Thanks so much for this timeline video! Really appreciate you keeping the T.V side involved. Marvel Studios could do with someone like you to keep this all together. Thanks again!
