My personal take on Moon Knight and Love and Thunder after much consideration:

- L+T - opens April 2024 with Jane's diagnosis (4/30 on vial), she travels to New Asgard and gains the powers of Thor, becoming New Asgard's protector until the arrival of Thor Odinson in June 2024 prompted by Gorr's attack. Thor mentions he and Jane broke up "8 years, 7 months, 6 days" ago, placing the break-up early November 2015:

- Thor leaves the Avengers to research the Infinity Stones immediately following the events of Age of Ultron in April-June 2015, however in Ragnarok, taking place in November 2017, Thor says he's been looking for the stones for two years; now obviously he's not going to say "I've been searching for the stones for two years and five months" but this amount of time leaves room for Thor and Jane to have lived together for a few months and split up with Thor leaving Earth November 2015 and searching for the stones for two years until Ragnarok

- MK - April-June 2025 - The overwhelming evidence for this series taking place in 2025 (museum exhibit banners, avoiding overcrowding of 2024, D+ timeline placement [if you put any stock into it], seemingly intentional effort to make the series seem as vague as possible in its timeline placement while simultaneously saying in promotion that there was a definite placement for the series at one point) leads me to the general placement of Spring 2025. This alongside the missing Ennead gods and the removal of any direct references to Gorr in the final release makes me think these gods were killed by Gorr in his culling about a year earlier, hence their absence.

I'm sorry but to think that the producers and vfx artists of the films and series put the effort into the phases of the moon in the background of the shots is a bit absurd, for the series moon knight it's a little understandable what with the theming and attention to detail in the credits but I personally think that was the extent and there was no effort to consciously sync the timelines via the moon phases.
 
Hand on my heart I firmly believe that since moon knight and Thor 4 are so closely linked in to one another while in production (although not evident in the show or film themselves) if we use the museum date for moon knight so April 22nd to July 29th and the blood vial seen in Thor 4 dated 30th April then I'm going to say that Moon Knight occurs Late April - Early/Mid May 2025 (After Hawkeye on the Disney+ timeline) and Thor would be happening in May 2025 although the epilogue at the very end of the main film could very likely occur in June 2025

So to summarise:

Moon Knight = April-May 2025
Thor: Love and Thunder = May 2025
She-Hulk = Somewhere in June-August 2025
Ms. Marvel = September 2025
Okay fair enough that's a good point, there definitely was coordination between the two during development. Thank you very much for your timeline

Fair enough, while I do personally disagree with the reasoning for the year I think your reasoning for everything else is very solid. Thanks for replying
 
ok just saw a few new scenes from the new extended version of Spider-Man no way home and am getting closer to nailing down the betty brandt and daily bugle tik toks but a few are inserted and enhanced into this new version of the film so im left wondering

does this nullify all of the betty brandt daily bugle tik toks as canon or just a few?
 
- Shang-Chi in 2024
- Wong becomes Sorcerer Supreme
- No Way Home
- Multiverse of Madness
- She-Hulk in summer 2025

Did I miss anything?

About to see the extended version of NWH, but personally, I believe that the ones that they've used in the movie should be nullified, whereas the ones that aren't should be kept separate.
 
far from home also had an extended theatrical release that was never released outside of that, making it considered non canon, i say if this version of no way home is released digitally it can be debated which version is canon but for now i would stick to the original theatrical cut.

FFH's extended scene is on the timeline, but it had a home release later
 
Do we know wich version of NWH we consider canon to the prime MCU?
Just saw the "More Fun Stuff" edition of NWH yesterday. It was National Cinema Day (first I've heard of it) in the US, meaning every single theater, and every single showing was only $3.00. I saw it in "Big D". Anyway, this site here mentions "all" of the changes but they missed at least one. https://screenrant.com/spiderman-no-way-home-extended-cut-differences-additions/

They say that the first new scene is with the DoDC. But the first new scene is actually right after Spidey's identity is revealed. He's swinging MJ all around and they go down into the sewers. Did they miss any others?

I really hope this version comes out on Blu Ray. It would have been cool if they added the Venom 2 post credits scene, right after Dr Strange does his spell, but I know they couldn't add that. Still would have been neat though.

I personally haven't seen the new version yet (probably won't unless they release it on Blu-Ray) but from your experience would you say that in relation to the daily bugle.net and Tik tok stuff the extended edition nullified a good chunk of it whether it was added to the new version (like the Betty Brandt interviews) or flatout contradicts continuity (E.g. the spider menace strikes again Daily bugle short)?

Nothing is contradicted, to me anyway, and those you mentioned are the only things added from TikTok/ YouTube, even the Spider-Menace one, so I'd say that these are nullified:
Daily Bugle Exclusive: a chat with one of Peter
Parker's teachers, Coach Wilson. (Link)
Daily Bugle Exclusive: meet author Eugene "Flash" Thompson - the creator of the name "Spider-Man." (Link)
Daily Bugle Exclusive: a sit-down with Peter Parker's best friend, Ned Leeds. (Link)
A Daily Bugle exclusive sit-down with the Spider-Menace himself, Peter Parker. (Link)
TheDailyBugle.net: EXCLUSIVE - The Spider-Menace Strikes Again! (Link)

The interview ones are all put together as one "thing" and the other one is in reference to the first appearance of Electro and Sandman. It's about the same as the link above, even with the part about the supplements. It does have the caller go into a bit more detail, mentioning the sand guy helping Spidey stop the electricity guy, along with a photo of the caller on the screen. I don't think any of the other Daily Bugle shorts would really fit into the movie. What they added was pretty cool though, especially the little bit extra with Charlie Cox, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. Plus the after credits scene that is no longer a Dr Strange trailer. To me, this is now the definitive edition of the movie. That being said, I don't think I would pay more than $3- $5 just to see the extra scenes in the theater.

Speaking of extended editions, were the two different rerelease versions of Endgame (Tom Holland introduces Endgame and then says to stay tuned for a FFH trailer after the movie as post credits, and then later this was changed to-- I'm honestly not sure- something extra with Hulk, I think?) ever officially released anywhere, or maybe even leaked anywhere? I saw the Tom Holland re-release, but not the Hulk one.

The Hulk scene wasn't actually finished If memory serves. It was just thrown in there to give them an excuse to release and extended edition.

I'm also one of the few people who saw Inhumans on the IMAX screen. It was a different edit of the first two episodes together and did in fact have some changes to scenes here and there. Being honest though, I really don't remember what the scenes were, as I've pretty much blocked the show from memory, I just remember when it finally aired on TV, we watched it and we talked about this scene missing or that scene being longer in the theater.
 
So, I just rewatched Age of Ultron, and is there any particular reason why the ending at the Avengers Compound is only a month after the rest of the movie? Laura tells Clint that "in a few months" they'll be outnumbered. Which to me makes it seem like Nathanial's birth should be around July. Plus it gives more time for the Stark Industries facility to be renovated into the early stages of the compound and determining where we end up with Love & Thunder's placement, it gives the Thor and Jane break-up more time. If you want to assume it did happen before he left Earth at the end of the movie.
 
And, Disney + has placed Thor: Love & Thunder as the most recent event on their timeline. I don't exactly agree, but I do still think the movie is 2025.
 
Not saying the Disney + timeline should be followed, but I think a good workaround is Jane tests her blood on April 30th, goes to New Asgard and becomes Lady Thor sometime in May, and the bulk of the movie (once Thor arrives in New Asgard) takes place September/October (which also means the Guardians portion takes place around here too). I don't see anything that says it necessarily has to be Summer. You see kids at popular tourist destinations all throughout the year. It does feel like there's some time passage given Valkyrie and Jane seem to have a bonded relationship and Jane is comfortable as Lady Thor.
