I’ve actually been looking for something like that, because I’m not a Marvel expert. Thanks!

I do plan on showing the dates. My friend actually told me about Fury’s Big Week, although he wasn’t super specific (sorry if you’re reading this) and so I opted to put it in the order it’s in. There’s some other statement by the people who worked on the MCU I read back in 2015 or something that unless otherwise noted, the movies take place the year they come out. Obviously you can’t take that too seriously, Iron Man 2 and Thor are supposed to take place close together in time, they both came out in 2010 and 2011, yet Iron Man 2 takes place 6 months after 2008’s Iron Man 1. However, I tried following that rule where it made sense.

Me and my friends actually skipped Incredible Hulk while rewatching it, so I haven’t put it in yet.

Not a problem! I think I placed Incredible Hulk there in my brain subconsciously, my bad. There’s a YouTube channel called “Geekritique” that also does a lot of videos on the MCU timeline, and in his Iron Man 2 video he mentions that 6 months later refers to 6 months after that opening scene that doesn’t necessarily have any confirmed time placement (I could be wrong as I don’t really remember the beginning of Iron Man 2. But Thor is definitely in 2011 based on Fury’s line in Avengers about him arriving the year before, and Avengers is double confirmed in 2012 through Endgame. For the most part, the movies taking place when they release is true unless stated otherwise like Black Panther, Homecoming, and Guardians 2 for example.

Quick question: Marvel Studios has put out these very short news videos on YouTube called “WHIH Newsfront” featuring reports within MCU about characters such as Scott Lang in prison and other events happening within the universe. Would you consider putting these in your chronological edit as a sort of buffer between the movies? There’s also a few one-shots found on some DVDs and probably online like one with Coulson on the way to Thor’s hammer.
