  Speaker 1: How's it going?
• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Guys and geeks, welcome to Project Geekology.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I'm one of your hosts, dakota, and unfortunately I'm your only host today.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Anthony is away.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: He's visiting family in Tennessee for the week and he left me here by myself.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: So I have a microphone, I have a platform and I'm going to use it.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It's sad, but you're going to have to stick with just me.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: So this is a very special episode.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be like a numbered episode I think we're on 98 or 99 or almost at a hundred episodes but this won't be a numbered episode because Anthony isn't here.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be a mini-sode where you know we get to talk about whatever we want and usually Anthony's the one doing all those.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I think, actually, anthony has done all the mini-sodes up until this point, but today I am in the limelight, so I get to do whatever I want, and I've decided to talk about one of my favorite things ever, which is timelines.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: For those of you who only know me from the Project Geekology podcast, hi, I make timelines Not necessarily for a living, but just as a hobby.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I make like really really big, really nice, well orchestrated at least I think so and well put together.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: You know timeline projects for YouTube and they take me a very long time to produce.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I put a lot of time and effort into them, I put a lot of research into them and today I'm going to be breaking down some of that behind the scenes info and talk about some of the projects that I've had in the past, some of the products I have in the future.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've asked on Twitter whether people have any questions for me in regards to timeline content for any of the timelines that I've put together, and I'm not surprised.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Most of the questions are about the MCU, which has been my most I guess, profound that's not the right word.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: It's probably my greatest project, even though I don't necessarily think it's my best.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: It's what most of my fans over on YouTube on my channel Geek Critique know me for channel Geek Critique know me for, and I'm also going to be sending people from Geek Critique to the podcast.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: A little bit of cross promotion here.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Hi, if you are from Geek Critique and you've never listened to Project Geekology, usually there's another guy on here and we usually just tackle a single film or a TV show or a video game, a book, one title, an episode really, and we try to break it down, we give it a review, we talk about what works and what doesn't work, and then, you know, we also, in each episode, try to catch up on what we've been up to, both creatively and in our day to day lives.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: And it's a chance for Anthony and I, you know, who have been friends for almost 30 years at this point, almost three decades it gives us a chance to just keep in contact with each other because we live in other sides of the country, and it's a fun project.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: It's a it's project ecology basically, yeah, I'm, I'm really happy with it.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: But so let's talk a little bit about some of the timeline projects that I have been involved with going over to my YouTube channel, because sometimes I forget how many timelines I've actually done.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to go through every single thing, but I'm going to talk about some of the bigger ones that I've tackled over the years.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Obviously, I want to start out with the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It is what put me on the map.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And Geek Critique as a YouTube channel didn't always start as a timeline channel.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: It kind of just evolved into that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: My wife and I actually started Geek Critique.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Eight years ago, nine years ago now.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: It was early in our marriage and she has since, you know, decided to take up teaching as a profession and it's kind of how do I put it they don't like when you have a social media presence and also be a teacher, because you know parents find your stuff and it just for the sake of keeping her career path on track, while you know she's still trying to get a tenured position.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: She's stayed away from not only the channel but like a public social online appearance just in general, and I do miss having my wife on the channel with me.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: But in the meantime, in the years that have elapsed since then, I've, you know, had a lot more time to dive into larger projects, which I find is very fulfilling.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Before we were doing a lot of reviews and reactionary content, which was fun and it was easy.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I could produce, you know, two videos a day if I wanted to.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: But now I get to take my time and study and, you know, produce something that's really cool.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So the MCU timeline I've been doing that even before.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I've been studying the MCU timeline for about a decade now, even back in like 2014, 2015,.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: When I started my Geek Critique blog, I was involved with mapping the MCU timeline and I almost don't want to go back to those old blog entries because I feel like I've grown so much as a timeline guy I guess someone who is really into fictional chronology and histories that I feel like I've just grown so much more and I probably made a couple of mistakes in that timeline anyway.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so I've made probably I think I've made seven distinct MCU timelines since then which have pretty much all blown up on YouTube and it's become the thing that I'm most known for and it's not really like it's blowing up, but none of my videos have ever cracked a million views or anything like that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: But a lot of you do hold my work in some esteem and I'm really really grateful for that.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I know it's not perfect.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I've made plenty of mistakes when it comes to the MCU timeline in the past and I'll probably make more as I go.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: It's something that I'm, or I have been, very passionate about and I'm probably going to talk a little bit more about like where I'm at with the MCU timeline going forward.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: But I did a going into individual titles which a lot of you really enjoyed, and I haven't really done that in a little over a year now.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Probably the last one that I did let me look is probably oh, I did one for Guardians of the Galaxy, volume 3.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I did one for Secret Invasion and I did one for Quantumania.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, and I did one for the Marvels.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I've done quite a few.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: That was 11 months ago, the Marvels.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I do miss it.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: But I'm also really happy to have taken a large break away from the MCU timeline.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I haven't even caught up on most of the stuff that's been popping up recently.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Actually there hasn't been a lot of stuff, you know, popping up recently.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Actually there hasn't been a lot of stuff.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I think I'm pretty much just behind on a couple stuff like, uh, I am grew, season two and uh, agatha, all along.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Um, I'm not really into supernatural stuff anyway.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: So I I don't even know if I'm gonna like that or if I'll ever, you know, really give it a chance.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: But for the sake of, you know, working on a mcu timeline, I guess I have to.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Um, and I have promised that a new MCU timeline is coming out.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: So I did get that question.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: John Taylor, you asked when will the new MCU timeline video be out?
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: And I have previously mentioned that I wanted it to come out mid February, specifically around the Captain America Brave New World movie.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I think it is a good opportunity for me to release a big MCU timeline during the week or weekend or just in the periphery of a big Marvel release.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And I'm kind of biting my tongue a little bit on that because I'm also working on another timeline in the interim.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: That's been taking a lot of my time, unfortunately.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So I still want to get that video out by February with Captain America Brave New World.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: But I'm starting to think there's a possibility that I might have to wait until whenever Thunderbolts comes out and I might choose to do that strictly, because that is the end of phase five, supposedly, and I think that that would be a nice way to cap off that phase with a completely new and fresh timeline into phase six and, you know, heading into the secret wars era of the MCU.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: But again, I'm not really.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I'm really happy that I've taken a break from the MCU, just because it was a lot and it was clearly getting very messy.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: The fact that they haven't been able to release most of the stuff in the order or the time frame that they've chosen to do so is kind of proof that you know they have bit off way more than they can chew.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So let me talk a little bit about some of the other timelines that I've done.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I think in early 2019, I'm going back through my videos now I made a yes, I made a DCEU chronological timeline.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I called it my version one timeline.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I have not ever made a version two of this and that was five years ago.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I think it was early January of 2019.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: And I really had fun with that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I think that was a very good video at the time and I would love to make a completed dc, dceu chronological timeline, especially now that it's a completed universe.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I think that that would be such a a fun thing to do.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: It's just timing is very, very difficult and uh yeah.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: So, as much as I respect what they were able to do with the DCEU, I think the last couple outings there were really weak and it turned me off from doing it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I haven't even seen Aquaman 2 yet.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I saw the Flash.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: It wasn't bad, it wasn't great, it was just mid, so a lot of that was happening with the DCEU, and I never saw Blue Beetle either.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: My desire to dive back in and complete that version 2 timeline for the DCEU has waned quite a bit, so I do still want to do that, especially with the new DCEU coming out, though that too I'm I'm really apprehensive about, because I really don't like that.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: It's a soft reboot.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: They're they're using um peacemaker season two and they're going to reiterate events that happened in the past, but events that didn't happen in the past aren't reiterated.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: They have new actors for things, but they have old actors playing the same roles.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: It's going to be really confusing for people trying to keep up who aren't, you know, big superhero fans, and it's going to be confusing for those of us who are, because what are they doing over there?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I guess we'll see soon enough and that was actually one of the questions that I received Will I be making another DC timeline anytime soon?
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Darren Atkins asked me are you working on a new DC timeline Currently?
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: No, it's definitely in the back burner.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: It's something I want to do.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: It's a stretch goal, but I do have a lot going on right now in my actual day-to-day life, which is also probably why I don't think I'm going to be able to get the MCU timeline out by February, which you know to some of you like why it's just a video, just release it, record it.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: It's a lot more work than you think it is.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: But I'm also like I have a lot going on in my actual day-to-day life.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I'm working on a big move coming up, I'm building property, or I'm building a, basically a small house on my in-laws property and it's been a lot of work and money and time commitment just on that and, yeah, it's been taking a lot of my attention away from what I love doing, which is working on these projects.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: So even the project that I'm working on right now, the Avatar the Last Airbender timeline is really it's dragging out, and I really do apologize for those of you who don't care about Avatar the Last Airbender, but it's a.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: It's something that I'm really really enjoying studying and getting into, because this is such an incredible history that they've been able to weave.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever experienced a fictional timeline quite as elaborate and unique as the Avatar timeline, because every era of the Avatar is completely fleshed out, or at least the eras that we know about are almost completely fleshed out.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: The eras that we know about span thousands to hundreds of years, and I'm so deep into that rabbit hole right now.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I've got, like I think like over 50,000 words of notes written for the Avatar, the last airbender universe, the Avatar legends universe, the Avatar verse, whatever you want to call it and I haven't even gotten into like doing notes for the corera, the Legend of Korra series.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: So I still have a lot of work on that and that's going to be taking up the bulk of my time for the rest of the year.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Outside of, you know, the upcoming move that I hope to achieve soon, let's talk about some of the recent timeline content that isn't specifically MCU or DCU related.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed making and you know, speaking of Avatar, I really enjoyed making a Avatar like a James Cameron's Avatar timeline a series of videos.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Actually I did a couple of videos on the Avatar World of Pandora timeline a couple years ago, basically when the Way of Water came out, and that was huge for my channel I think yeah, I'm looking at it now it has over 300,000 views.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: For me, who averages, you know, between two and two and 10,000 views per video like this was.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: This was rent for me.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Like I never get videos like this, so it was.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: It was such a huge thing for me.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Like I never get videos like this, so it was.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: It was such a a huge thing for me and I really enjoyed, um, the exploring the history of that there.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Uh, and it's it's amazing to me that both avatar franchises both you know, james Cameron's avatar and the last airbender franchise both have such uh amazing grips on their lore and history.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: And, yeah, I had a good time making that video.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: A little video that I made that very few people actually ever got around to watching.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I made a my Neighbor Totoro timeline video.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: It's not worded as a timeline video because, like, how do you make a timeline video out of my Neighbor Totoro?
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: But I, I did a little digging in that one and I found out, you know, based on in-film clues, that the initial order of events are in.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: They were shifted around for narrative purposes but, like the, the dates are wrong because of that inside the film and it's it's kind of cool.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: So that was a fun video that I was able to make.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Um, another really fun video that nobody watched I think it has, yeah, it's 1500 views uh, the grand history of honor among thieves, a dnd timeline.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: This movie is so good and I dived deep into all of the tie-in material that is specific to Honor Among Thieves and I even got into D&D from it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I'm now in the midst of a D&D campaign, all because of this movie and because of the love of making this timeline.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I loved learning about the Forgotten Realms, shared universe and shared history.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Forgotten Realms, shared universe and shared history.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: There's a fantastic timeline book for the Forgotten Realms, which is a play setting within Dungeons and Dragons called the Grand History of the Realms, and that's why I named the title of my video the Grand History of Honor Among Thieves.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: It was just a little homage and probably two people got it, including the author of the book, which you know he actually commented on that.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: So that was.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: That was pretty cool.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I made a one piece live action timeline.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: That was a lot of fun.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Again, a video nobody watched.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: That was a very frustrating one for me, strictly because I put so much love and attention into that and, um, I discovered things that I think could actually, you know, indicate what time period the actual manga and anime are supposed to be taking place and because we know the author of one piece was so involved in the creation of the live action netflix series.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: There are dates that are a couple decades to a hundred years after the dates that are featured in the manga.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: But the dates that are featured in the manga don't specifically indicate when the present day is within the manga, so I posit new information from the live-action One Piece series that basically gives new life to what happens and when it happens in the actual manga, which the live-action One Piece is based off of, not the anime.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: A video that did get a little bit of traction was my Spider-Verse timeline.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I discovered basically I'm probably not the first to discover it, but I had a really fun time making that because I explored the use of the sliding timeline within the Spider-Verse films.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: We see in one film it's very clearly, I think, 2018.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: And in the second film it's clearly 2023.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: So how can that possibly be when only I think it was 18 months are supposed to have passed?
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Only I think it was 18 months are supposed to have passed?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense unless you start thinking about the Spider-Verse timeline as something that happens on a sliding timeline, which is what the Marvel Comics actually use, and because it's so comic heavy in terms of its stylistic approach, I think that that holds some merit.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: So that was a really cool video.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Had a lot of fun with that One video that got decent views for what it is but not nearly as many as it deserved is my Frozen timeline.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I know Frozen is a huge franchise, but I think the franchise isn't specifically interested in the geekier side of lore, which is timelines and history.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: But I did.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I I think, uh, it's a phenomenal timeline.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Um, I worked heavily with uh super fans of frozen like there's a whole uh arendelle archives thing on discord.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: That is basically just like people who have studied frozen frame by frame and they've been doing so for years, and they loved my timeline.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I worked with them in creating it and making sure I got all the details right.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: That was such a cool project and I was able to get another creator, modern Mouse, to help me bring the story of this history to life, so that was a cool one.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: A video that actually did do really well this year was my MonsterVerse timeline.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: It's my first hour plus timeline video and I don't think it's going to be my last, because, seeing how my Avatar, the Last Airbender video is shaping up, as well as my goals for my MCU timeline coming up version 8, I think that those videos are going to be hour plus as well.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: So if you want to get an idea of what I have working on with both the MCU and Avatar, the Last Airbender, I highly recommend checking out my MonsterVerse timeline.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: It is probably my best single video to date.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know, actually, I don't know about that.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I still hold some of my others a little higher in terms of how much I sentimentally value them, but I think it's a really fantastic video and I'm really happy with the reception with that.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Let's answer some questions before we continue going through all of it.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Actually, you know what?
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: No, let's just talk about the Star Wars Time Saber.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I spent a couple months of this year working on a visual timeline not necessarily a video timeline of the Star Wars universe.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: There's just so much Star Wars out there from novels, comics, short stories, manga, video games, comic books, junior novels, middle grade novels, movies, tv shows there's so much Star Wars, um, and there's essentially new Star Wars being released every week, um, so I couldn't possibly, you know, make a timeline under 10 hours and that's just way too much work for where I'm at right now.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: And so, yeah, I made a visual Star Wars timeline.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Uh, it's called the Star Wars time saber, it's, uh, it's.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: You just got to check out my YouTube channel it's linked in the description to see exactly how I made that happen, made that a reality.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Let's answer some more questions.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Chrono Keeper asks when are we getting more Dakota notes?
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: And he also asks when are we getting the 616 Marvel Comics timeline?
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: You can totally read thousands of comics, right, wow?
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: The second question I don't have plans and I often joke online like I'm not going to be making this timeline or that timeline, but this is one where I just don't think that I have it in me, like I just knowing my work ethic, knowing how much time in the day I have, this would take me years, years to accomplish and I don't think I could possibly do that, even though it would be a pipe dream.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: If I'm ever not working an eight hour, if I'm ever not working a 40 hour construction job every week, then I might consider it.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I do have notes on the comic books that I do read, but, yeah.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: So Chrono Keeper mentions the Dakota notes.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Uh, so I think he's talking about the uh notes that I release on my Patreon, uh Google drive.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Basically it's called uh Geek Critique Timelines and I've released I think it's got to be a little over 100 different notes for different titles at this point, but soon.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Chrono Keeper, I'm going to be releasing most of my Avatar stuff very soon and I have a bit more of the Star Wars notes that I've taken over the years, including the recent book Temptation of the Force, which I just finished and it's so, so good.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'll be releasing those for my Patreon followers and you can find links to that in any of my YouTube videos.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to bog down with that, but yeah, so I take heavy, heavy notes for pretty much everything that I ever plan to make timeline content on or anything that I want to keep track of, and when I can, when it's neat enough, I try to release it online as a resource for people who oh, in chapter seven of this book it says he was gone for three months or whatever you know, and you can kind of use that as a tool to explore these timelines on your own.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: And I have those notes for my Frozen stuff.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I had a lot of notes for my MonsterVerse stuff and all that's available to my Patreon peoples.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: The Echo Light Are there any timelines that haven't been requested much that you'd love to make Alternatively, or additionally, are there timelines that have been requested much that you just really don't want to make.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Yes and yes, off the top of my head.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I can't really think too much about that, just because there's only so much stuff I can manage at one time.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: But projects that I would love to do I would love to do an alien project.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I know that you, echolite Blacklight, are big into the alien franchise and I, you know I'd probably tap your vast knowledge if I ever wanted to do a history of that, so that would be kind of cool.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I'd wanted to do a history of that, so that would be kind of cool.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I'd love to do an alien timeline, but strictly from a point of view of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: So an outsider from that corporation looking into the events of this history, I think would be a fascinating idea for a timeline video or historical.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Additionally, are there timelines that have been requested that you just don't really want to make?
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all the time I'm given requests for stuff.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I think jokingly just because I'm the timeline guy, but I have no interest in anything supernatural.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I've mentioned no horror stuff, no gore or anything like that.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I like to geek out.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I don't like being uncomfortable when I do so.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I guess Alien is pretty much as scary as I like.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so there we go.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: A couple more questions.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Ahmad, I hope I pronounced that correctly.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: You know I've been friends with you for, you know, forever online.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever actually said your name out loud.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: You said one.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I think I've ever actually said your name out loud.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: You said dependent references to their show and your placement of the first season initially seemed pretty solid and justified.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: You asked actually quite a few questions and I'm going to try to get to all of them.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to be honest, ahmad.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: I haven't watched Runaway Season 3 or Cloak and Dagger in five or six years at this point, whenever that released, and I really haven't spent any time in the Marvel TV universe you know, pre WandaVision in a very long time and I've gotten to the point where I'm I'm not super certain about why I chose certain things at the time that I did, and I'm getting to the point where I'm almost I don't plan on going back to these shows anytime soon for my timelines, even though I plan to include them.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: So at this point I'm kind of probably just going to work alongside the MCU Wiki, make sure that I have their approval in terms of, like, what placements you know work with my timeline and their timeline.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I've just kind of given up on Marvel ever choosing to canonize any of that like hard canon.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to say that I don't think it's canon, but I don't think Marvel's ever going to reference these shows ever again outside of Daredevil and those films.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: But Cloak Dagger, I remember, had strong connections to Luke Cage, the first and second seasons of that.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: So that's why I had Cloak Dagger earlier on the timeline as opposed to Runaways and that just kind of translated into something that didn't really work on a timeline when they crossed over.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll give that some thought.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not entirely sure if I want to use the MCU timeline stuff going forward, but it's a possibility.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Will every piece of media connected through Spider-Verse be included in your next big timeline?
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I don't even know.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to think about all of that.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I think it's just stuff that is specifically crossing over with the MCU.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Number three you ask this is more subjective but given the recent connections, what parts of Marvel TV do you for now consider to be concretely canon?
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, I was just talking about that.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, daredevil and probably the Defenders, because I don't see how you can do Daredevil without the Defenders series.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Luke Cage, iron Fist, jessica Jones I don't know how they're going to treat that, especially Iron Fist, which was pretty universally maligned, even though I kind of liked it.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I could maybe see Agents of SHIELD being introduced or referenced in some capacity, but that's about as deep of a cut as I think Marvel Studios will ever make, specifically because they don't even have time to release new content for the heroes that they are already using.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: When are we going to see Doctor Strange again?
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: When are we going to see Moon Knight again?
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: When are we going to see dr strange again?
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: When are we going to see moon knight again?
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: When are we going to see she hulk again?
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: They have, they have plans, I'm sure, but we won't see them for four years, five years, who knows it's.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: There's so much stuff that they have that they cannot manage that.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I have no, no doubt that they'll.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: You know, just never talk about anything within the marvel tv realm outside of, maybe, agents of shield, ever again.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: If that, um, and you ask if I have any dc related plans for the future, I'm gonna keep a nose, a close eye on the dcu.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Um, I know a lot of us are uh, just because it's it's fresh territory, but we'll see.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: We'll see where that goes.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Pivot asks about the spider-verse movies.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Are you still confident, and confident on it really being a sliding timeline?
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: If so, do you think that they'll keep this model for beyond the spider-verse?
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I think they will.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, am I confident?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I only have two films to work with here, but it seems to me that this was an intentional choice and I think that they're going to continue that if it was a creative reason for doing so.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I do think the sliding timeline is legit.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I could be totally off base.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: But yeah, garrett asks with so much content in the MCU and Star Wars, how do you keep track of the details?
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: For chronology references, I'm watching all the Marvel's MCU content.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: I'm still in season four of Agents of SHIELD and I've already been forgetting details of the first season.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: It's so much.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: You're right, it is like a crazy amount of stuff and I don't remember everything I would love to.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not like a savant that can remember every single date of everything that I've ever seen.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: You know like pretty much the titles that I'm working on right now are the ones that I have hard details like hardwired into my head.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: But I do have to make room for other details for future projects.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: So I will eventually forget certain things.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: But that's why I keep notes, like I keep very, very detailed notes.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go over my notes app, specifically my timelines, just to see what I got.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: So my timeline journal.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Looking at my statistics for that, I have over 200,000 words worth of timeline notes across several different franchises.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: The average novel length is probably 70,000 words.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: So that's a lot.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I have dedicated a lot of time to my timeline notes and that has saved me quite a bit of work in going back and forth and that's why I like sharing that with you guys, because I think it's a neat little trove of details from films, shows, comics and books that I keep track of.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: So I have a fun comment or question from the Continuity Game.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: If you watched my MonsterVerse timeline video you will know all about the Continuity Game.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: But the official social for that asks In Hocus Pocus why are the kids in school on a Sunday, 10, 31?
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: 1993?
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Do they use a different calendar or do they have a different school schedule in their world?
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe, maybe they're just really religious.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know Sunday school.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: That's my best guess.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Alright, guys, I think I'm gonna cap it there.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I've had a lot of fun talking about you know stuff, that stuff that I'm really into, which is timelines.
• 31:47
