Notes:

*While the events which kicked off Loki began at the end of The Avengers, the rest of the series takes place outside of the MCU timeline.

**Season 1 of Agents of SHIELD was considered to have taken place in the MCU, however from season 2 onwards, it diverted from the MCU and therefore is considered as an alternate timeline.
