About

GeekTimelines draws story maps for fictional universes — the whole thing on one canvas, with the connections between the pieces drawn as lines you can follow.

Why a map and not a list

Chronology lists tell you what comes next. They do not tell you why. The interesting part of a shared universe is the wiring: a post-credits scene that sets up a film four years away, a character who walks out of one series into another, a branch where a timeline splits. A list flattens all of that into one column. A map keeps it visible.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe map currently holds 82 entries and 95 mapped connections. DC, Star Wars and Middle-earth are next.

The rules

Nothing on these pages is invented. Every in-universe year is either stated on screen, printed in an official source, or explicitly marked as an estimate. Titles that have been announced but have no released material carry no plot summary at all — an empty space is more useful than a confident guess. Connections that are announced or inferred rather than shown are drawn in a different weight so you can tell them apart at a glance.

The full method, and the list of sources behind it, is on the sources page.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, it should be fixed rather than defended. Send it over through the contact page and point at the source — corrections with a citation get applied quickly.
