Marvel’s Loki TV Series and MCU Timeline Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains Marvel Cinematic Universe spoilers. It’s been well over two years since the events of Avengers: Endgame, and you’d be forgiven for forgetting exactly what went down during the climax of the Infinity Saga and some of the entries that led to it. There were plenty of Easter eggs and nods to other parts of the MCU in both Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame – some of them edging on “blink and you’ll miss it” territory as Marvel Studios sought to wrap up a decade and change of storytelling. Ahead of Loki’s release on Disney+ we’ve been revisiting…

Loki: Owen Wilson’s Agent Mobius Reveals the Sacred Timeline

New DVD release, , , , ,
The elevator pitch is a tried and true concept in both the entertainment and business worlds. The thinking goes that if you can’t explain your entire idea in the time it takes an elevator to take you to your floor, then it’s too complicated and doomed to fail. In the latest clip from Marvel’s next Disney+ series Loki, Owen Wilson’s character Agent Mobius takes on perhaps the most ambitious elevator pitch yet.  Give the clip, which premiered during the MTV Movie Awards, a look below to see what we mean.  “What does that mean?” Loki wants to know about Mobius’s…

Tenet: Robert Pattinson’s Neil Timeline Explained

New DVD release, , , ,
This feature contains Tenet spoilers. I think this is the end of a beautiful friendship. Those are the (near) final words of the ever wry Neil in Tenet. Riffing on the last line of dialogue from another Warner Bros. film, Michael Curtiz’s Casablanca, it’s a wink and a nudge from Christopher Nolan toward classic Hollywood cinema. But it’s also an admission by the Robert Pattinson character that he is at least vaguely aware that he’s headed toward his death, and though he is about to die, his relationship with the Protagonist (John David Washington) has only just begun. On first…

Line of Duty Timeline: Can This Help To Solve the Jo Davidson DNA Mystery?

New DVD release, , ,
Warning: contains major spoilers for Line of Duty series 1-6. You could say we’ve taken this too far. You could be right. You could also say that, for a Line of Duty fan attempting to solve the Jo Davidson family mystery, it’s useful to know that Tommy Hunter was 13 years old when Jo Davidson was born, making him more likely to be her brother than her father. Or that John Corbett was born two months after Jo Davidson, making it impossible for his mother Anne-Marie McGillis to also be her mother. And then there are the real questions, such…

From Skull Island to Godzilla vs. Kong: A Complete MonsterVerse Timeline

New DVD release, , , , ,
This feature contains Godzilla vs. Kong spoilers. Read our spoiler-free review here. Despite existing for only four movies, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures’ MonsterVerse has become one of the densest and most colorful cinematic universes. It may not be as long (or smoothly executed) as Marvel Studios’ MCU, or as high-minded as WB’s own superhero stable, the DCEU, but the MonsterVerse has successfully crafted an interconnected world where Titans rule over all. The best we humans can do is make peace with that hard truth. In this strange, fearful vision of a primal world, enormous behemoths the size of mountains…

From Man of Steel to Zack Snyder’s Justice League: A Complete DCEU Timeline

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for Zack Snyder’s Justice League and other DC movies. The timeline of the DC Extended Universe began in a fairly clear manner, with most of the events of Man of Steel set in 2013. As more films were released, containing flashbacks, or lacking a clear chronological setting, things became increasingly complicated. And by the time we got to Birds of Prey film, its precise placement in the DCEU is downright murky. But there are contextual in-universe clues in the form of media, gravestones, mugshot photos, or throwaway lines of dialogue that provide some clarity.  With the…

Vikings: Valhalla – What The Timeline Reveals

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
This article contains spoilers for the final season of Vikings. In its final season Vikings tied up the story of Ragnar and his sons, and ended with a pitch-perfect, almost poetic, coda. Ragnar, however, was just the beginning of the Vikings’ story. Later this year, Netflix will bring us the saga’s concluding chapter, Vikings: Valhalla. Set more than 150 years after the events of its parent show, Vikings: Valhalla charts the Vikings’ last glorious push as a cultural force with which to be reckoned, while chronicling some of the early 11th century’s most intrepid, influential and powerful figures. Based on…

Resident Evil Timeline in Chronological Order

New DVD release, , ,
The reveal of Resident Evil Village‘s release date and gameplay brings us that much closer to another entry into one of the more complicated (and sometimes confusing) timelines in video game history.  Granted, the Resident Evil timeline doesn’t stray too far from the release order of the games themselves, but subtle shifts in the storyline created by the occasional odd entry mean that it’s easy to lose track of how we got here. That’s why we’re going to try to help chart the Resident Evil timeline as it stands today. For the purposes of this discussion, please note that we’re…

The Stand Timeline Explained

New DVD release, ,
This article contains spoilers for The Stand episode 1. Sometimes opening in media res has some real storytelling value. The goal of just about any story is to get people interested in continuing it. Given that the beginnings of stories are often expository and not particularly exciting, who could forgive a storyteller for wanting to jump right into the thick of the action and then fill in the blanks of what came before Well, in the case of CBS All Access’s The Stand, I can blame producer/director Josh Boone and showrunner Benjamin Cavell for wanting to jump right in and…

Did Star Trek: Discovery’s Georgiou Just Create a New Timeline?

New DVD release, , ,
This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for Season 3, Episode 9. The biggest twist from Star Trek: Discovery Season 1 has returned for Season 3. After living in the Prime Universe since the end of Season 1, Phillipa Georgiou, former Terran Emperor in the Mirror Universe, has been confronted with the very real prospect that she might need to go back to where she came from in order to stay alive. But what’s really going on? In “Terra Firma, Part 1,” Discovery has taken a very unexpected turn, seemingly in the middle of several other storylines, to fully tackle…

Halo Infinite: A Timeline of the Game’s Troubled Development

New DVD release, , ,
Microsoft recently confirmed that Halo Infinite is now scheduled to be released sometime during the fall of 2021. The revelation that the game will be released a year after its recently delayed debut has prompted some fans to ask the question, “How did we get to this point?” The answer to that question involves requires us to go all the way back to 2015 when Halo Infinite was little more than an idea. What began as the seemingly inevitable development of Halo 6 morphed into one of the deepest dives into development hell that we’ve seen in recent memory. The…

Terminator 7 Would Have Introduced an Alternate Timeline

New DVD release, , , ,
While the box office performance of 2019’s Terminator: Dark Fate resulted in the franchise getting lowered into a proverbial vat of lava as it flashed a thumb-up, it seems that plans exist for a seventh entry, which would have followed up on the wantonly retconned storyline—indirectly, anyway. Mackenzie Davis, who starred in Dark Fate (Terminator 6, if you will,) as cybernetically-enhanced human Grace, divulged a rather intriguing tidbit on the Happy Sad Confused podcast about the inevitably fruitless plans for a follow-up film. The character, hailing from a timeline altered by Terminator 2’s destruction of Skynet, was sent from the…

We’ve traveled to the Mirror Universe, we’ve traveled to the future, and we ended up in the 32nd century.

The Haunting of Bly Manor Timeline Explained

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
The following contains spoilers for every episode of The Haunting of Bly Manor. The Haunting of Bly Manor’s dream-hopping conceit allows the dead and the possessed-living to jump from memory to memory, reliving key moments of their lives. Some memories, like Peter Quint’s encounter with his mother, are traumatic, but others, like Hannah’s first meeting with Owen, are sources of comfort. One thing the memories share is a disorienting effect on us as viewers, left to piece together the puzzle of exactly when everything is happening.  You can’t count on the past, Owen memorably tells Hannah, but you can count on the…

How New Mutants Fits Into Marvel Movie Timeline

New DVD release, , ,
When The New Mutants went into production in early 2017, it was still part of what was once known unofficially as the Fox Marvel Universe: a collection of films based around the Marvel characters that 20th Century Fox owned the screen rights to and had no intention of giving up to Marvel Studios parent company Disney. As director Josh Boone — a big fan of the comics — has explained, The New Mutants was meant as a different kind of superhero thriller, with the aesthetic and tone of a horror movie. In fact, it was meant to be the first…

Star Trek: Lower Decks Timeline Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains minor spoilers for Star Trek: Lower Decks. Just in case you’re confused, the new animated comedy series, Star Trek: Lower Decks, is not a spoof. Although there are some meta-fictional elements (just how the hell did Mariner have dreams about Khan?) the series isn’t a comedy-spoof of Star Trek, but rather, a comedy series that is set within the Trek canon. As creator and showrunner Mike McMahan has said many times, Lower Decks is canon, meaning things that happen on this series, could, in theory, affect other shows.  But, in terms of the Lower Decks timeline, what…

How Star Trek Beyond Redefined the Prime Timeline

New DVD release, , ,
Four years ago, the Star Trek universe looked very, very different. At that time, there hadn’t been a new Star Trek series in five years, and the idea of three new seasons of different shows coming out in one year (as in 2020) would have seemed absurd. Way back in 2016, the year the franchise celebrated its 50th anniversary, there was only one new (filmed) Star Trek story released into the world: the movie Star Trek Beyond.  Contrast this with the 25th Anniversary of Star Trek in the year 1991: Spock crossed over to The Next Generation in the season…

Palm Springs Timeline Explained

New DVD release, ,
This article contains Palm Spring spoilers. Our spoiler-free review is here. Time loop movies are quickly becoming a genre, and we are here for it. The paterfamilias of the concept on screen is of course Harold Ramis’ existential romantic comedy, Groundhog Day, but we’ve seen the concept repeatedly riffed on ever since in everything from big action blockbusters (Source Code, Edge of Tomorrow) to slasher movies and indie thrillers (Happy Death Day and The Endless, respectively). So it was inevitable someone would eventually circle back to using the idea of a perpetual time loop for romance. Luckily the first film…

Exploring the Biggest Missing Gap in the Star Trek Timeline

New DVD release, , ,
Mild spoilers ahead for Picard Season 1 and Discovery Season 2. Right now, somewhere, several new Star Trek projects are being planned and fans can only guess as to what those things will be. Relatively speaking, shows centered around Spock’s human sister or an aging Jean-Luc Picard would have seemed pretty far-fetched if you asked a fan about those ideas in 2016. Similarly, the idea of recasting the Original Series actors for the 2009 Star Trek reboot would have sounded crazy to fans in 2003, when Enterprise was still on the air. New Star Trek projects are interesting because they’re…
