Hickman says all that continuity fits into 10 years. How do you feel about that?
(Earth-616)#History
Still better than when DC tried to say all Batman continuity from Dick to Damian happened in 5 years
i say that i don't care about continuity all that much
Given how much Time Bullshit happens in Marvel into, I'm not surprised someone would try and claim this.
Marvel's sliding timescale has generally been accepted as set about 10 years after the Fantastic Four started.
It's fuzzy. Sometimes it's more like 15 years. There's no set timescale for it and never will be - things that no longer fit get dropped all the time, but any elements of them that are necessary to explain the modern era remain canon.
Examples: War Machine once had an alien armor. It's totally ignored today because nobody even read that series, but for a while he was bonded to an alien armor that totally wasn't a symbiote like Venom or Guyver or anything and definitely didn't kind of look like a penis. Spider-Man once met the cast of Saturday Night Live when John Belushi was alive and Bill Murray was on the regular cast.
Since nothing in these books was even slightly important to the modern era, none of it is necessarily canon. It still happened, and it happened in main continuity, but it's obviously impossible to reconcile with for example modern Spider-Man with smartphones and whatever other trappings of 2019, so maybe it's been shunted out of main continuity into a side-continuity, which, honestly, isn't the worst thing. It means all those decades of stories don't have to have happened within 10-15 years.
>fits into 10 years.
How the fuck does Wolverine sleep?
Even less, considering year 0 is when Xavier met Moira... are we sure he created the X-Men that same year?
You think that's ridiculous? Within marvel Canon Carnage USA only happened like a year ago
>Wayne's death, Bruce is 8
>Starts training at 16
>Suits up at 24
>Meets Dick at 28, Dick is 10
>Dick becomes Robin at 12, Bruce 30
>Dick leaves at 16, Bruce 34
>~6 month gap, Bruce finds Jason, 13
>Jason becomes Robin at 14, Dies at 15, Bruce is 36
>2 year gap, Tim comes in at 12
>Becomes Robin at 13, Bruce 40
>Tim changes to Red Robin at 16
>~A year gap, Talia brings Damian, 9, becomes Robin in only 4 months
>Bruce currently at 45-46
How's this for a (slightly) realistic timeline? I'm obviously just spitballing here and don't know any canon numbers.
