Tony looks good for a 70 year old dead guy, or that's a shockingly good impersonator.

Talking of Scarface, I'm gonna assume that Scarface: The World is Yours (the video game they made for the PS2/Xbox) is also a divergent timeline owing to Tony's survival and rebuilding his empire before eventually killing Sosa, right?
 
Yep. I'm taking the comic book sequel as canon since it doesn't actually change any on-screen events, and the video game as a divergent timeline where Tony doesn't almost get killed.

What are these based off of, by the way? It might drastically change the timeline if accurate, since Charon would be alive in 2017. Not a big deal, I can move Chapter 4 to 2021 (the Continental working with Wick and the crew is definitely weird), but yeah.

oh, the only 1-2 times they reference a date in-game, some text and the tapes. for the passage of time, the payday files and these 2 documents:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/218620/discussions/27/2860219962094221892/I agree with this theory, although I think Bodhi just started a second list and he completed his first Ozaki 8 when he managed to survive the wave at the end of the movie. Realistically he would have died, but luckily there's no body. I think Payday 2 is supposed to be a sequel to Point Break.

Edit: Nevermind. "FBI Academy 2015", "October 13", "last 30th was a friday" (matches October 2015), hmm... the Bodhi briefing video mentions events from Point Break so at least the main events take place before the crossover heists.

Two possibilities:
1. We follow the movie's timeline and place the ending in April 2016, and assume that Bodhi survived the wave then returned to the gang.

2. We ignore the 17 months later (Homecoming situation) and place the end of the film in 2018-2019, with the assumption that Bodhi died. It is mentioned in the movie that a wave that size could take years to show up again, which means it isn't unlikely that the gap would be longer.

The Rumors and Stories text crawl after completing the secret ending suggests Payday 2 is a John Wick prequel, but the problem storywise is that John can mention his deceased dog in the game, and during Hoxton's Breakout, Hoxton has a chance to ask how Wick's family has been doing, then asks if he'd just said something bad once John gives him an awkward silence. He also has scars from the first film in the game, but I'm already ignoring them as it is.

Point is, if I absolutely have to, I can move John Wick 1-3 to 2023+, although that is very contradictory to the rest of the evidence. It might have been an attempt at fixing John's relationship with the Continental during Payday 2 since they're not trying to kill him.

Also, Payday reference in John Wick: Chapter 2. It's seemingly a two-way canon in any case.

I've got Payday 3, so I'll see the timeline of that after Hardcore Henry.

There's a Payday 2 video game poster in Hardcore Henry, but seeing as how Jimmy and Akan were in the Payday 2 live-action trailer (which is a prequel, along with the HH Heists), and the movie has an easter egg of Jimmy's mask from the game, I guess there's just an in-universe Payday game series.
 
Well, should be fully updated now, minus chapter breakdowns. Obviously still going through Payday 3, but all the heists are added with the starting point following the release date format as with the rest of that series.
 
Wouldn't the films be moved up to 2020 then?
If John Wick is set after Payday 2 despite the references to his dog and wife in dialogue, then it'd actually be set in at least 2023 (probably later), since John Wick was retired for 5 years. Rather than ignoring the dates in the films, I've compromised and placed John Wick 1-3 in 2014 and Chapter 4 in 2021, so Charon is still alive during the John Wick heists but the references still match, though ignoring statements that Chapter 4 is months after Chapter 3 and that the Continental appear to ally themselves with the Payday gang despite Wick being excommunicated at this point.

I'm ignoring Rumors and Stories when it comes to John Wick for now (unless people prefer John Wick to be after Payday 2?), but it certainly gives a fix if future John Wick media enforces a condensed timeline between 3 and 4.

What's left to add on the Payday side?
The FBI Files has in-universe files on all the heists and characters, but not a lot of timeline indicators for when they were written. Also, the Heist list is in the wrong order. I think it's supposed to be chronological, but they have Election Day after a Christmas Heist they state occurred on December 24, 2014, and another Christmas Heist, placing it in 2016, but there's very explicit 2014 dates in that heist. The same goes with Story Line/Career Mode in the game, the Heists are just in the wrong order. Release order makes much more sense.

If Payday 3 crosses over with Breaking Bad, Money Heist or something else that already has a huge continuity I'm gonna be pissed, lol. It'd be fun but really annoying for me.
 
Reservoir Dogs could be canon if the heist is all copycat identities of the originals from 1992 (except possibly Mr. Pink). I mean, it could be, doesn't mean it is.

Anyway, the "Realer than Real" Tarantino-Verse goes something like this anyway.

1858 - Django Unchained
1877 - The Hateful Eight
1944 - Inglourious Basterds
1969 - Once Upon a Time in Holywood
1992 - Reservoir Dogs
1993 - True Romance
1994 - Pulp Fiction

Oh... and:
1882 - A Million Ways to Die in the West

You know, with the Django cameo... and Doc Brown... you know, maybe Doc Brown can explain Reservoir Dogs and Hotline Miami's existence, lol. Kidding.

Oh, and Django is a decendant of Shaft. So... that's a thing. Also, Django is referenced in Kill Bill, so are we even sure it's part of the "real" universe? Or, perhaps this is one of those crossover points between his two universes.

Either way, all parallel timelines I take it.

That's actually a comic canon to the Tarantino-Verse: Django/Zorro, naturally a crossover based on the unmade film. I don't know the implications of that, but Zorro exists in the Tarantino-Verse... one of them, anyway.
 
Reservoir Dogs pourrait être canon si le braquage est constitué de toutes les identités copiées des originaux de 1992 (sauf peut-être M. Pink). Je veux dire, ça pourrait l'être, ça ne veut pas dire que ça l'est.

Quoi qu'il en soit, le verset de Tarantino "Plus réel que réel" ressemble de toute façon à quelque chose comme ça.

1858 - Django déchaîné
1877 - Les huit haineux
1944 - Basterds sans gloire
1969 - Il était une fois à Holywood
1992 - Chiens de réservoir
1993 - Vraie romance
1994 - Pulp-Fiction

Oh et:
1882 - Un million de façons de mourir en Occident

Vous savez, avec le caméo Django... et Doc Brown... vous savez, peut-être que Doc Brown pourra expliquer l'existence de Reservoir Dogs et Hotline Miami, mdr. Blague.

Oh, et Django est un descendant de Shaft. Alors... c'est une chose. De plus, Django est référencé dans Kill Bill, alors sommes-nous sûrs qu'il fait partie du « vrai » univers ? Ou peut-être s'agit-il d'un de ces points de croisement entre ses deux univers.

Quoi qu'il en soit, je suppose que toutes les chronologies sont parallèles.

This is a silly question but is it possible to pretend that events of the 1991 original Point Break happen in 2015 instead of the remake (cultural and technological advances aside)?

I was wondering if we could include John's time in the Fortnite Universe between 3 and 4?
 
No doubt, but without any narrative, it's just a skin. Even with Marvel, I don't count the skins being used in gameplay as canon because it's literally just an appearance, but the comic tie-ins and events are canon to Earth-616.

With John Wick... it's just a skin. Sure, a version of John Wick may have came to the Island, but it isn't tied with the films. It could be a split timeline, like the majority of Dead by Daylight crossovers are (although certain skins do break this, Chucky having the cuts from later films for example means that there should be two versions of Chucky in the Entity's Realm).

Also, can you imagine the absurdity of a John Wick/Fortnite comic? Ew, lol.
Actually, count Wick's fingers in Fortnite. That'll tell you the timeline, XD.
 
Let's make a rule that if any franchise has a skin in Fortnite and has a story behind it, it will be considered canon.

hi ☺️ I made the timeline of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez in the conversation and I think it would be part of your timeline that you made. because there are a lot of links about their films.
