Ok, so I know this is about really old stuff, but I'm just now starting to put together a chronological cut of the MCU. I'm going off of this wiki's timeline mainly, and I want it to be exact, by putting flashbacks in their proper date and so on. I'm just gonna start with Iron Man and go down the line. In the beginning of The Incredible Huik, we get that quick montage of Banner becoming Hulk, then injuring Betty and Thaddeus Ross, then he's on the run, then we get quick flashes of newspapers and such of the manhunt for Bruce Banner. I've broken up these opening scenes by rough timecodes. Then I put the estimated dates from the wiki. As you can see, the dates are not sequential as shown in the film. I can't really find a reason for this at all, so I just wanted to know if there is any good reason for putting these opening bits out of sequence? All the wiki references these are the film itself, which doesn't help really.

Feb 16th, 2005 - 0:00-2:26 Bruce Banner becomes the Hulk, days later he runs away from Thaddeus Ross in the hospital. On his way to Canada, Hulk is spotted in the Dakotas by a family (The wiki mentions state troopers encountering him but I don't see that anywhere).

May 28th, 2006 - 2:27-2:33 Newspaper headline says "Green Sasquatch Sighted", Bruce Banner hides in Canada

March 3rd, 2007 - 2:33-2:36 Ross gets approval to use Stark Industries tech, Ross continues the search for Banner while he hides in Canada

Feb 7th, 2006 - 2:41-2:45 Banner tries to email Betty but is intercepted, the manhunt continues while Bruce is in Canada, Ross sends a letter to Nick Fury about the manhunt, the manhunt continues

Oct. 21st, 2006 - Deleted scene - Bruce Banner attempts suicide in the Arctic by putting a bullet in his head but "the other guy" spits it out

March 2007 (My own date) 2:23-2:25 Banner hasn't been sighted for 5 months (The print says this, so this file was printed 5 months after) According to the wiki, the suicide attempt was detected by satellite and this was the last sighting for 5 months. I don't know where this info comes from.

After this is the main part of the movie which is placed in 2011 according to the wiki. I haven't gotten there yet.

The wiki also says that Banner was spotted in Rome, Italy, according to intel provided by Interpol. I have no idea where this comes from. I don't see any mention of Rome or Interpol on screen. Yet, the movie is listed as the source for this.

So as it stands according to the wiki, Bruce flees from the United States to Canada, then to Greenland, then back to Canada, then to Italy apparently and then to Brazil. Which is fine I guess. There's also a flash of a zoomed in map of Saudi Arabia at 3:02 in the movie, but I don't see anyone mention that anywhere, on this wiki or anywhere else online. But the real issue I have is why are all these dates placed as so and why not sequentially? Do the comic tie-ins provide detail that gives the reasons for this? The only fixed dates from the movie (that make sense) are the attempted email to Betty Ross and the "last seen fleeing October 21, 2006" which is apparently when he tried to commit suicide according to the wiki.
