Looper truly missed a huge opportunity by not hiring Michael Peña to give this whole recap as Luis
omg
The video would be *_a lot_* shorter LMAO 🤣🤚
My Word! This is the Best chronologically put together explanation of entire MCU so far.. Well Done & Thank you !
AGREED!
Glad they don't mention Shit Hulk
You said "My Word" instead of "My word"... please fix that
@@psleesh My Word!!! You’re the Legend of the Legends of the Legends & the Legends!!
@@Undertakers_Father My pleasure.
Wow, this is for far the best time line explanation done! It's so helpful specially for busy people that don't have the time to watch TV show series and just had seen just the movies. Thank you for this amazing work. I am truly grateful 😊
One of the more fun parts of the whole chronology which isn’t mentioned here is that The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor and the opening and closing scenes of Captain America (as well as tie in comic book Fury’s Big Week) all take place pretty much at the same time. A TV in the background of Iron Man shows Hulk smashing up the university, and when Coulson gets called away part way through Iron Man it’s so he can investigate Thor’s hammer crash landing in New Mexico.
More to come!!
It is mentioned in "What If ?..." Episode 3. Iron Man 2 on Monday, Thor on Tuesday, Hulk on Wednesday and Captain America at the end of Friday.
Really amazing review of such a crazy timeline! Looks like you got the 1987 ant-man/wasp in twice at 14:58 and 15:38 although the 2nd is much more detailed.

Could you send me this
That's absolutely amazing
If you watched it all in this order how did you find it all ? Did it all like up Pretty nicely?
🫡
Can u send me this awesome and I was showing my son. Thank you so much for making this.
I can watch MCU movies over and over without getting enough. Thank you for this timeline.
The music is extremely distracting, I'm 5 minutes in and I can't listen anymore. Is there an alternative without the music?
Oh my goodness - I'm finally starting to see how all the pieces fit together. Now I want to go watch them all again now that I have a light understanding of what's happening. Thank you!!!
Yes!!! A full timeline!!!! TY @Looper!!! . Very well put together, thanks!.
An amazing run through. A much needed one at that. Thanks for all the hard work
This video was so looong. Ty for the video and effort Looper! ❤🎉
Everytime i saw hive especially in grants body, it cave me the chills thru my spine And he was so close to get everyone killed who was not inhuman. And the way he controlled people by giving them euphoria when they did what Hive told them it was creepy af too. I would've liked a scene where they show that, who and how did they banish Hive to the other planet? AOS is one of marvel's best work. And by far the best series they have ever made.
Holy moly I just realised how much I missed from MCU. It’s like half of it I wasn’t aware of
I havent seen most of the movies/shows since endgame
Thank u for the research and work put into this vid ❤
Wow this was better than I expected 😎 Thanks for putting this together so well❤
Amazing!!! There's so much to cover! You forgot to put Wanda's memories from her childhood. And I love that you included Netflix, AOS, Cloak&Dagger and all of that.
I wached. 5 hour one yesterday, more in depth but did not include any of what you mentioned and they addressed why. So watching this one now ❤
@Looper I don't normally leave comments on videos, but this MCU explainer is fantastic! Now I don't have to watch all those other Marvel movies that I didn't want to waste my time and money on. I look forward to future videos from this channel.
No one cares if you leave comments or not. You're not special.
I watched one yesterday, 5 hours long. It was epic.
5 hours? Which one's that
if you dont have the time - you can watch around 7 movies and be done with. trust me -MCU was the miracle of last 2 decades, you should watch the minimum 7 to acknowledge and experience whatever is left on ur screen
thanks so much for the refresher I was getting so confused and now Loki season 2 is out it really helps! Thank you!
I will never for as long as i live forget the theaters reaction to tony snapping his fingers!
THANK YOU FOR THIS looper what a great content for us marvel fans
I’m glad to see the Netflix shows, Agents of Shield, Runaways and Cloak and Dagger included here. Maybe could’ve included Inhumans series too. And as the Multiverse comes together, the old sony and fox universes as well as the weirdness that was Legion
This Is The Best Explanation Of MCU. Well Done Looper. You Guys Are Great.
This is awesome. Timelines been hard to follow but this helps. Only flaw - WandaVision is the very first event after End Game. It's been confirmed it takes place within a couple of weeks of the battle and lasts about 9 days. FATWS, Eternals (present day), Shang Chi and FFH take place in 2024. WV is October-November 2023.
whoa! imagine putting in effort to give a fuck about this crap, honestly, I'm blown away ...
How come Thanos never talks about the 'Emergence' and the Celestials !!
@@muuhpropertyyy2465 im sure there are plenty of things Thanos talks about but not in any movies...
With this whole multiverse thing I feel like the timeline is gonna get more confusing
Yep, very much so. And not just the multiverse thing, but retroactive introductions of the X-Men and Fantastic Four as well.
i recommend not focus too much in the alternate universes. no matter how much they dive into the multiverse, the main universe will always be the focus. so just enjoy the multiversal adventure rather than thinking too much of it lol
its already trash. there are two different explanations given that ultimately bring previous movies into question. which has always been an issue but has gotten much worse after the snap alone. half the universe getting snapped only affected endgame. the events of the eternals has yet to mean anything and the fact it even happened without any mention of anyone else ruins it. no mention of it in secret invasion either........there is too much happening that ruins continuity. unless you admit its just to be entertaining and not something to think about in the first place. its overstayed its welcome honestly@@kcraincano8961
Wow Looper! That was magnificent! The whole MCU adventure tied off with a nice bow. I had to stop what I was doing and watch the whole thing in one sitting, No further explaining does this saga require, Looper is now Jedi!
I can explain it quickly - The MCU was created for movies and it has many of the finest films I'll ever watch again and again. Then Disney said - let's go woke and see if anyone notices. Then they had to rent out empty theaters to pretend box office sales were good and it tricked a lot of idiots reporting high ticket sales so they kept pushing the agenda until people finally just said - this is unwatchable.
Why, why, why didn't Strange stop the spell and talk to Peter to make sure that all the exceptions he wanted were covered before Strange lost control and made a mess?
Why didn't he make everyone forget Mysterio instead.
@@MrPerserso they could make another movie
MONEY!! Them Disney bucks need to keep coming😂
Very well made!
I cannot believe you forgot about Black Widow sacrificing herself on Vormer.....
Man this was golden 🔥 thank you for this video
That's A Lot Of Information In One Single Video. Even As A Die Hard Fan Of Marvel There Are Still Some Things I Didn't Understood. But Now I Do. What A Video. Truly A Gift To All The Marvel Fans Throughout The World.
holy crap this is actually insane how the directors and writers put everything together like a jigaw puzzle, a really really big one
they didn't, it's crap
Nah, they just brute force everything with qny logic or rhythm and when they can't explain plot holes they just say it's multiverse or just ignore it entirely. It's the case now atleast.
You forgot Werewolf By Night, but other than that, this is basically perfect (as far as everything that existed at the point of this video coming out goes; Secret Invasion has come out since then, and more is obviously on the way.)
Insane work. Thank you
brilliant work bro!
Thanks for putting all that in order! Easy to follow and understand
This was excellent and very informative. Could you list the films and series titles that embody the MCU in the correct order so we can experience the timeline as it should be?
If you have Disney+ they have them listed in Order
google it easy
I think that might be even more confusing. A lot of movies fill in gaps left by other movies, or have flashbacks or references to movies that were released first, so you won't get a lot of it if you watch in chronological order. I recommend still going by release date. For example, you don't find out about Nick Fury's eyepatch until Captain Marvel, which takes place in the 90s. But in movies released before that, there's a running joke leading up to the reveal.
🙏 immensely thankful for this well explained timeline
Great Editing!
Very well put together, thanks!
Fantastic breakdown!! Really enjoyed this piece 😊
Commendable!!! this surely required effort
this is amazing! please update this as new movies are released
Really an epic telling of the Marvel universe. Although some scenes had the movie titles, others did not. There are certainly some that I haven't seen and wondered which movie they were.
Loki should have been at the end, since his TV show contained a scene that happens at the literal end of time.
Thank you for this ive gotten so far behind after infinity war I’ve felt like this really helped explain a lot of things I had no clue about
Great breakdown! This work was really fun
The MCU is confusing af now. Not for your avg Joe. Everything feels like independent pieces. Too many new characters too fast. Comic nerds get it but for your avg joe . We are confused. Especially since most characters now arent your A list legacy characters, like a household name.
Agreed. Everything is from super niche comic lines now to appeal to every ethnicity. Kinda lame. Plus with their avengers saga all over, disney cut a lot of funding toward the MCU so there goes the really good CGI. That’s where you get modok and the floating head from Thor 3
That's on you guys for not knowing enough. You don't have to know it if you don't want, but you can't complain when all you need is understanding. Of course casuals miss stuff, but there's no easy way to make it all palatable. Not with so many moving pieces.
@TheDemonCaine annnnnd this is going to stop their profit going down hill how? Doesn't matter if we're not knowledged in characters new or old. Bad writing is bad writing I loved moon knight even though I had no idea about him. The mcu is death by a thousand cuts.
@@dontaewoods79 It's bad writing if you're a casual and have no idea how anything ties together. Profits inevitably go down in a huge franchise like this. Unless you dumb it right down, you can't maintain that momentum. The casuals can't hold on this long. Only the hardcore fans could. A lot of casuals just stopped at Endgame. That doesn't equal bad writing. That equals a lack of focus and attention on the part of the viewer. I follow everything perfectly well because I care enough to pay attention.
@TheDemonCaine dude even the hard-core fans say it's bad writing ... it's obviously a real thing cause so many channels are covering this same topic. And yeah they're hard-core fans
I still got catching up to do from Moon Knight up to latest lol
A *shedload* of work there! Thank you!
BIG THANKS FOR YOU! I JUST NEED TO SHARE THIS VIDEO TO MY FRIEND WHO ALWAYS HIT ME WITH ALL THE QUESTION ABOUT MCU! ❤❤❤ GOD BLESS YOU DUDE
Don’t bother… big holes in this… as I said: “So let’s see…. The synopsis was pretty straight on but you’ve forgotten to include DeadPool, XMen, only touched on Venom for a moment, Blade (Wesley Snipes) since it was on the tail end of Immortals movie and a few others like Punisher but those are the primary ones. You can saw they aren’t truly a part of the timeline however, they are big franchise standalone movies with multiple sequels and prequels but why omit those yet pull in the made for TV shows like Cloak and Dagger, Ms Marvel, MoonKnight, Loki and MsHulk but omit those large titles? For all inclusive list, this video is lacking of either the time, respect or research. Great injustice to Stan Lee (RIP). “
@@hollywood4n6 no one asked
Quite an impressive narration, I must say. Old man Stan would have been quite amused. Nonetheless, I look forward to additional suffixes and narratives as the MCU continues to expand and create more exciting adventures that will tickle our fancy and imagination. Well done.
Yes!!! A full timeline!!!! TY @Looper!!! ❤
Amazing work ... u even answered some of my questions ... thanks😊
Nice compilations!
Thank you sooooo much for this rehashing of the MCU Universe. The amount of research and centration needed to get this done... MUCH APPRECIATED 😊.
Nicely done. The fact that most of the MCU's stories inter-connect in a way is the reason why it out perform DC's universe movies.
Imagine unironically liking cookie cutter marvel movies in 2023. DC at least innovates nonstop with its comics, games, and animated shows/films.
Yes, they inter-connect so much so average viewer often has to sit through mediocre to god awful throw away shows like Loki, She-Hulk, Hawkeye, Wandavision, and similar garbage just to understand what the hell is going on in a next major movie only to be treated with one of the worst written, acted, introduced and forced villains in the cinematic history Kang the Conqueror trying to be Next Big Bad only to fail miserably in every regard. Thanks you very much, Marvel. No wonder no one gives a crap about any this any more.
@@vilxxblack2472yes I wonder when the next movie explaining batman's origin is coming 😂
@@vilxxblack2472someone's mad lmao
@@topethermohenes7658 If your entire grasp of DC is batman then you should keep your dipshit mouth shut.
Thank you for this!! ❤
kudos to looper teams, they did a super awesome job in this video.
This. Is. So. Good... that it makes me feel the way I do when I watch videos of Michio Kaku and Neil dEGrasse Tyson explain black holes..
Thanos was actually a hero..by killing half the planets he visits..he also stopped the celestials from rising
why couldnt he directly kill them? I mean he had the infinity stones and all the power in the universe.
This timeline makes more sense! Thank you! 👏🏼🥰
This is so good, thank you!
You have to get rid of that music
Nah dude i luv it
An absolutely amazing synopsis- thankyou!
Wow. Just.. Wow. Thanks for the recap.
46:11 I feel like Wanda almost beating Thanos by herself should have been mentioned here.
RIGHT SHE WAS FINNA BEAT HIS ASS FR 😭😭
muy interesante y bastante completo, aún así me hubiese gustado mayor atención a los defenders pero entiendo que su relevancia no es tanta como la de otros personajes, aún así Iron Fist y Luke Cage jamás dejarán de ser mis personajes favoritos, sin quitar a Jones Y Daredevil, equipazo
Thank you for this !
This is well put and amazing
This was really well done.
This was an enjoyable watch!
Yes, it was as I was behind in the films. This has helped a lot. I still plan to watch several of them, but this helps in planning the order in which I watch them. Thank you once again.
Thank u for the research and work put into this vid . Thank u for the research and work put into this vid .
my god, this was great!! thank you!! watching it again.
Good job Looper!💙
If venom becomes part of the mcu officially then u have to start with knull living in his darkness then the celestial’s arrived bringing light to the universe and that’s when knull created the what would later become gorr the god butchers weapon the all black necrosword and then later then symboites to try and fight the light spreading universe and the celestials. But unfortunately venom isn’t apart of the yet. Really do hope they don’t destroy knull how they did gorr. 2 of my favorite newer comics for me since I’ve been reading em from the 80s
Nicely done! Thanks!
Kang be like: I paved the road for this shit to happen 😂😂
Should have added Stan Lees cameos .. RIP STAN LEE
This is a great depiction of the MCU timeline. You may want to start with 'Spoiler Alert' if you haven't seen all movies and shows. ( Maybe that should be self-evident. 🤣)
Thanks. This helps a lot!
this was perfection!!!
Where does Blade come into the mix? He deserves a place since his character was the seed for the MCU.
This
Blade...the vampire killer?
@@Tater4200 Yes and Venom as well.
That was great.. Didn't have to sit through months of my life to see these movies in some chaotic order! :D .. JK, good job combining the order, I'm sure people will say something was forgotten..
Nah... Perfect how they also implemented AOS, runaways, daredevil, defenders and cloak and dagger.. Deepdives for sure..
I hope you can make this every year or two so we can stay up to date with MCU chronological order😊
Well done! Thank you! The only thing that I think was missed was the incarnation of White Vision. Fantastic work!
I like the views and attitude that you put across. Sometimes people can be judgey without empathy and lack of knowledge. Your style is not like that amd is perfect. You give facts and have done a comprehensive story with empathy. Some things she has done are clearly morally wrong but we cannot imagine the events that has shaped her life especially from a young age. Thank you for such a fresh style of story telling! I hope that makes sense x
You could add Loki as DB Cooper in 1971, I think (minor but cool!) and you forgot Warewolf by night.
You loop our mind in MCU timeline . Thanks .many many thanks .
The MCU is JUST getting started!
Lol in what world, the mcu hasn't had a good movie in years. Thx Disney.
@@goobermcboogerballs1420 might wanna check the box office . Lol
@@goobermcboogerballs1420now you just hating bro
@@babygroot8023 name one good mcu movie released recently besides the latest Spider-Man.
he aint hating tho? its facts.. truth is they gone down hill and rush things
As you may be familiar about Wanda's Yugoslavian origin, I can literally translate what WANDAGORE mountain means: its " Wanda's Mountain as "Gora" in southslavic means "mountain" or "up hill"...also SOKOVIA means "Hawks country(place)"...
Wundagore Mountain significantly predates anything to do with Wanda Maximoff.
THIS IS F*%K'N AWESOME Looper!!! Thanks!!! You'll literally taken this story line and are slowly solving it like a Rubiks Cube (hehe)! Keep the great details & story lines coming! Definitely looking forward to whats yet to come!!!
Never knew I needed this video. Good watch
The MCU is a mess.
U ain't wrong
But still its so good
Bruhh you calling the best cinematic universe a mess nonsense
Since Stan left us ( RIP ) it has turned into some garbage and that’s being generous. When Stan was here everything was solid following Ironman 1 even SHIELD was good. Now I can’t name a movie since End Game that’s been worth a shit, the last Spider-Man was above average I guess but it’s all been flops. Loki is good though I will say that but slow and boring at times. The whole multiverse makes everything irrelevant from the storyline it sucks they can’t just add XMen and use antman or the thanos snap as a way to introduce them
@@killlernoob1842have you seen the recent shit they’re putting out , im not that old to the MCU became a fan after watching infinity war, And now everything is going downhill. Hope they do something
I can explain it in less than 10 words : nothing was important because Kang did it
Great job! thx
Thanks for this
The MCU is no longer relevant
Iron Man 2008 - Endgame 2019 Everything after endgame is ass minus GoG 3 and NWH.
Yet you're here
@@TargetSniper365NWH is garbage too. Relies too much on nostalgia. Script was trash. Story was trash. Everyone is blinded by nostalgia to really dissect the movie. NWH’s story is complete dog shit.
They still making money you just making comments
They made 7 billion in phase 4….and made over 30 billion all together..becoming the biggest movie franchise ever
This was fantastic!
