Loki events

edit

@InfiniteNexus and Sir Magnus: Following a question raised here, what should we do for any major events in Loki, since that's in an alternate timeline? Should we just add them in the main continuity, or create a separate section for the alternate timeline? IronManCap (talk) 20:31, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

@IronManCap: Well, first we'll have to see whether or not the events in Loki are significant enough to be considered a "major" event (probably is, but we'll see), and if that's the case I would suggest putting it under a separate section. This is indeed another tricky situation. InfiniteNexus (talk) 21:04, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
I agree, difficult. I figure it should go after the Flag Smasher bit. It's supposed to tie somehow in with the films DS:MoM and T:LaT, which take place post-Endgame. Just have to wait for it to come out I guess. Sir Magnus has spoken! (So can you!) 21:15, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
If the timeline gets all weird like the X-Men movies with the Multiverse and stuff, I'm thinking we should have a big section on all the events that take place in alternate timelines/realities. InfiniteNexus (talk) 21:43, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
On a related note, I don't think we should add the events of What If...? here unless they tie-in to the main MCU in some way. It's still unclear whether the events of that series are considered 'canon', and it appears that each episode will take place in a different timeline, so unless something ties them all together, we shouldn't include those here.

A little off topic again, but that's a neat little timeline diagram on the MCU page. I think it would work nicely here too, plus it comes with lots of references, which are badly needed here. Sir Magnus has spoken! (So can you!) 21:23, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

The fate of this draft

edit

As that there was significant opposition last month against this draft moving into mainspace, should we just move its contents back to Features of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, keep them here, or what? InfiniteNexus (talk) 03:20, 26 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

I think it's clear this draft isn't going to get to mainspace, and I'm not sure whether it should be merged with Features either unless we reduce the cruft and add more real-world info on that article too. My first instinct would be to add sourced info where we can and integrate into character articles, like I did with the "I am Iron Man" speech at Tony Stark (Marvel Cinematic Universe)#Characterization.

Since this page has just popped up on my watchlist, I think it's time to revisit this discussion. Features is now in a much better shape in terms of real-world info than it was a year ago, so I would propose merging the contents of this draft into that page. Any thoughts?

I'm going to perform the merge in about a week, if there is no opposition. InfiniteNexus (talk) 03:51, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Forgot about this, I'm going to make the merge now. InfiniteNexus (talk) 02:57, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
