Spider-Man: Far from Home Extended Cut (ProBot1227)

I had assumed that it was just one of those funny things with film run times. If you start looking into them too much, like I have, there's lots of discrepancies because credits are slightly longer sometimes for 3D and/or IMAX due to the extra need to credit those involved just for those versions, credits are sometimes longer on home release because of the distribution credits, DVDs are 96% as long because they run 4% faster than digital/cinema, you get different sites saying slightly different things depending on whether they round up, round down, or just round to the nearest minute, and other factors. It's all a bit messy. So I assumed that since there's a few seconds missing at the beginning, maybe it just sort of added up with maybe some extra credits and by some calculations it's 4 extra minutes, some it's 3 seconds.

But, I've found out apparently there's one more extra scene of Mysterio getting a call from Fury later on. Hopefully it'll be in deleted scenes.

Timeline (LordDusty)

The only thing I feel is missing is one easy to follow timeline that gives only basic information and makes the best use of the effort you have put into arranging the films and TV shows around each other. At the moment the main Timeline page has a couple of overlapping series in columns and vague dates connecting them.

The individual pages for each year are brilliantly detailed and are great for pinpointing when certain events take place but it takes a bit of work to establish when the films or tv episodes start and finish. It would be incredibly useful if there was a simple timeline that ordered all the films, TV shows, comics etc together with start and finish dates so that you could quickly and easily find where they all fit with each other. This would also be useful for finding where ones you haven't yet seen are located without coming across potential spoilers on the year pages.

It wouldn't need much information just Film/Series title, Episode title, Series/Episode no., Start date, Finish date. Enough to see how they all fit together without being too complicated. And with all the new shows over the next few years, an easy to follow timeline would be very welcome. Thank you so much for your compliments. It's always really encouraging and gratifying.

I agree, it would be great to have one easy-to-follow list. It's kind of funny that that, being the most obvious thing to produce as a result of our work, is something we haven't got to sooner.

It's not possible for the "Timeline" page due to the way policy dictates that page be laid out, but it's something I have in the works for a blog post. I'm currently filling out this blog listing all the canon content of the MCU and their details, including working out the midpoint scene of every piece (which is what I use to order by), and once I've done that, I will then be copying over that content to another blog, where I then replace the columns with timeline dates (such as start date and finish date as you say, as well as midpoint date) and turn it into a single list of a watch/read timeline order. However, I won't be able to do this for a little while.

In the meantime, I do have this IMDb list for the order of live-action instalments. The only thing is I haven't updated it for a few months, due to complications concerning the exact Ant-Man and the Wasp and Infinity War placements, and then when those were starting to get more nailed down, the complications concerning Jessica Jones: Season 3. And also, there's some small gaps in the list now, because I used "Untitled Marvel Project (2020)" from IMDb as a stand-in for all the canon YouTube tie-in videos and things, assuming that the page would just get renamed when that project was announced, but instead when it was announced as Eternals the "Untitled Marvel Project (2020)" page just got deleted, so all the tie-in videos have disappeared from my list, and I haven't got around to replacing them yet. However, I will be updating the IMDb list in the next few weeks, so hopefully it should still be somewhat helpful from then until I get around to that full watch/read order blog.
