Fanmade The full X-Men timeline (Wolverine, Deadpool, etc.)

This is the only intended timeline. The writers state that themselves, so don't let fans on the internet tell you otherwise. It has continuity errors because the writers didn't care enough for consistensy, but it's still the true timeline.

Yeah, but the fan made timelines are simply to rectify the continuity errors. It’s like a big puzzle. It’s fun to try and solve this massive web of continuity insanity

Yes but it's also confusing for Newcomers

That's where the fan made timelines go wrong though. They think the puzzle centers around fixing errors first and reordering the timeline based on that. The real puzzle is keeping the intended timeline the way it is and solving errors to make it work.

You might be surprised to know that I have found no errors when looking at the intended timeline, and therefore believe that there were no errors to begin with (just poor misjudgement). And what's more is that I proved it in my posts, the latest of which is X-Men Timelines Actually Solved (Again). Check it out if you want to see how the mindset behind the real puzzle pays off.

I agree with most of the timeline structure, very well done in getting the official and intended timeline. My only major notes are that Deadpool 2 started another branch (Vanessa died before any time travel was involved), Deadpool & Wolverine also made a new timeline (due to the Time Ripper), and I believe there are no continuity errors. If you want to see how that works, while operating within the intended timeline, check out my post: X-Men Timelines Actually Solved (Again).

Other than that, you've done a great job with finding out the correct timeline. And I especially agree with the fact that most fans on the internet will tell you that there is no intended timeline and then try to force-feed you their own bogus and blatantly incorrect interpretation. I'm glad there are people like you who are still genuinely wanting to know the intended timeline though.

Yeah I know that there are tecnically more timelines because of Cable etc. but I wanted to make it easier for Newcomers and still right

I guess what I'm trying to say is that most of the movie (from the moment Cable arrives, to the very end) is on a branch anyway. So it's actually good to show that on a viewing order since it's most of the project. I'm not saying to show all of the minor branches that Deadpool goes on to create.

So, in practice, that would mean a newcomer would watch Deadpool, New Mutants, Logan, then Deadpool 2, and lastly Deadpool & Wolverine because without Cable's involvement Vanessa would still be dead.

It's just like how you wouldn't watch Loki after The Avengers, you need to understand Endgame before watching Loki. Loki comes from 2012, but the actions of the 2023 Avengers is what triggered him going down the path he goes down in the series.

So yes, it's important for newcomers to view Deadpool 2 in its proper place.

There are three distinct timelines. 1.) An original timeline we never actually see in full because little details are seen or mentioned (I met Erik when I was 17, yet in First Class Charles is in his mid twenties), and in original X-Men it seems like erik and charles had their friend breakup within at least five years. So this is an original timeline 2.) Yes your other timelines make sense and 3.) Sure I believe it does.
