Creating timelines might sound like a niche hobby, but for me, Dakota, it's a thrilling journey through the fabric of fictional universes. While Anthony is off enjoying some family time in Tennessee, I've taken the liberty of sharing my deep-seated passion for timelines, particularly those sprawling across the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

From the ambitious worlds of Avatar: The Last Airbender to the mesmerizing depth of James Cameron's Avatar, I'm constantly captivated by the art of weaving intricate timelines. This episode uncovers the successes and challenges of crafting these narratives, touching on lesser-known gems like My Neighbor Totoro and the Forgotten Realms sparked by Honor Among Thieves from D&D. Insights from the One Piece live-action series, the dynamic Spider-Verse films, and input from Frozen super fans highlight the diverse worlds I'm excited to map out, offering listeners a taste of the lore within these celebrated stories.
The complexities of the Marvel and Star Wars timelines take center stage, revealing the delicate balance of integrating TV series like Cloak and Dagger into the larger MCU fabric. Join me as I ponder potential future projects, including an Alien timeline focused on the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, while navigating the uncertain waters of Marvel's TV universe.

Disney fans, brace yourselves! The recent D23 announcements are nothing short of exhilarating.

We delve into the backstories of key mutants like Magik, Wolfsbane, and Sunspot, etc. while pondering on any potential future within the X-Men universe within the MCU. Despite its many flaws, there are redeeming qualities worth discussing. And stay tuned, because after a brief break from the Fox X-Men series, we'll be back with episodes covering "Deadpool" and "Wolverine," diving deep into the iconic characters that have shaped the X-Men franchise.
