As he discovers other lifeforms, Ego plans to create offspring to ease his crippling loneliness of his belief of being the Last of His Kind, yet he finds his peers "disappointing". Realizing the futility of its existence if no other life is present in the universe, Ego creates a humanoid male vessel to search for other sentient beings.
MCU TIMELINE HOW TO
For centuries, this entity slowly learns how to manipulate matter until it forms an entire planet to serve as its body, naming itself "Ego". Somewhere in the universe, a Celestial emerges, yet finds itself completely alone.A Celestial is killed by unknown means - its severed head eventually becomes the location of the space-borne mining colony "Knowhere".After each successful Emergence, the Eternals are returned to the World Forge to have their memories erased to ensure their loyalty before being sent to a new planet. In response, Arishem engineers another race, the Eternals, with the purpose of defending intelligent life from the Deviants, not knowing of their true purpose of allowing an Emergence to happen. To help in this process, Arishem uses his World Forge to create a genetically engineered race, the Deviants, to eliminate apex predators and ensure the survival of a planets intelligent life however, a flaw in their design causes them to evolve out of their original programming and instead target all life. They also devise a process to ensure the longevity of their own species known as the Emergence - planting the seeds of a nascent Celestial into a planet, causing it to emerge once it detects a large enough sentient population at the cost of the planets destruction. With their infinite cosmic power and the guidance of their leader, the Prime Celestial Arishem the Judge, they create stars, planets, and other forms of life throughout the universe.
A race known as the Celestials come to be, becoming the first living beings in the newly-created universe. ( Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Infinity War) These ingots become known as the "Infinity Stones". These singularities are then forged into ingots by four cosmic entities (Eternity, Entrophy, Infinity, Death) and become tied to primal aspects of the universe (Space, Mind, Reality, Power, Time and Soul). The Big Bang then causes the current universe to be born. Six immensely powerful singularities exist before the Big Bang. also follows the branching-timeline model, though both major alternate timelines seen go on for years and are not reset. The time-travel in Avengers: Endgame was permitted by the TVA as part of the Sacred Timeline, though the exact fates of the alternate timelines created are unaddressed. Specifics of creating and resetting timelines can be found with events from Loki in the "Beyond Time" folder. Loki explains that the Time Police known as the Time Variance Authority (TVA) enforce one specific "Sacred Timeline" and "reset" or "prune" all others, ending them shortly after their creation though this practice ends as of the end of Season One. The MCU generally follows the model that time travel (or even just randomness in the universe) creates branching timelines that don't affect the original timeline's history though as you might expect its use can be inconsistent: Events listed in italics are events that happened in Alternate Timelines. The Alternate Timelines of What If.? (2021) are not included here yet, as we want to evaluate how they relate to the rest of the franchise before deciding to add them but some bits of information relevant to the main timeline are included. Further seasons that aired after the release of Infinity War are not listed at the moment.
For simplicity's sake, only the first seasons of Runaways and Cloak & Dagger are currently included in this timeline. note plural, due to time travel in Season 7 Seasons 6 and 7 are currently being considered Alternate Timelines.
The final seasons of all five Defenders shows are being assumed to take place before Infinity War, as the prior seasons had also been treated as occurring before their release dates.
MCU TIMELINE SERIES
TV series airing during the release of Avengers: Infinity War have not acknowledged the events of that film, and are stated by Word of God to be set before Infinity War. It's also possible that the various shows may be take place a year later than listed, starting in 2015, reflecting Daredevil's release date. The sub-franchise is listed here as starting in 2014, based on a line in the first episode of Daredevil referring to The Avengers as two years ago. Each season is assumed to take place a few months apart in the order of their release. Shows related to The Defenders sub-franchise are more vague as to their timeframe.
