What my friends see when they ask me to explain the UC timeline

I make it easy for people.

"Start at the beginning and watch in production order. A bunch of stuff happens between/during those early entries but it's all essentially retcon, save it for when you have the context. It'll be more impactful."

But it's so olllllllllllld I can't watch this!

¯(ツ)/¯ That's my advice, do what you want with it.
