Watch orders are editorial decisions, so every change to them is written down. If an ordering looks wrong, this page is where the argument starts.
Fifteen more year files extend the movie index back to 1985 — 4,917 standalone releases from the American and Hindi year-wise lists, taking the film catalog to 14,500+. To carry them, the year index folds into decade eras with anchor links, year pages swap the 42-chip picker for era chips, the landing page deals the eras as a stack of cards (each opens its decade's year-picker dialog), and the dashboard adds a per-era seen ledger. Tracking, search, and industry filters work identically on the new years.
Films now carry a full release date where Wikipedia lists one — 8,100+ of 9,600 — so each year page reads chronologically instead of alphabetically. Hollywood and Bollywood cards wear a coloured leading-edge spine (azure and violet) with a labelled industry chip, and the quick-track overlay now veils the whole card rather than just the thumbnail.
A new Movies section indexes every film in the catalog by release year, scraped from Wikipedia's year-wise film lists (American and Hindi, 2000 onward). Standalone films are first-class titles — search, filter by industry, and track them exactly like universe entries. Poster artwork lands via TMDB enrichment (npm run data:posters) with generated cards as the no-key fallback.
Wave six adds 220 entries across film, TV and anime. Films: Batman, Superman (sharing title slugs with the DCEU/DCU trackers), The Godfather, Die Hard, Bourne, Ocean's, Knives Out, Kingsman, Blade, Rambo, Insidious, Final Destination, 28 Days Later, Avatar, Toy Story, Shrek, Twilight, It and The Mummy. TV: Doctor Who's sixty-year run, Yellowstone with its prequels, Dexter's full saga, The Last of Us, Fallout, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, The Expanse, Big Bang's sitcom universe, Sherlock, Twin Peaks, Supernatural, Wednesday, Peaky Blinders, Spartacus and the Netflix Defenders saga folded back to MCU canon. Anime: Avatar: The Last Airbender, Naruto, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen and Evangelion's twin endings.
Wave five adds 103 entries — all 26 Bond films with the Craig era serialized, Saw's scrambled chronology resolved into timeline order (III and IV tie), Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul tracked per season, and Karate Kid badgeing its 2010 side-continuity. Sunrise on the Reaping and Sonic 4 land as dated premieres with provisional runtimes.
Another 58 games bring the catalog to 243. Resident Evil (all three remakes plus the originals), Final Fantasy VII through XVI, Persona 3–5, Yakuza, Sonic, Half-Life, Portal, Counter-Strike, Max Payne, Alan Wake and Control — with the PlayStation first-party back catalogue (God of War, inFAMOUS, Sly Cooper, Ratchet & Clank, Resistance) filling in alongside them.
The game catalog now spans 185 games across 71 franchises. This wave adds the Nintendo back catalogue (Ocarina of Time through Echoes of Wisdom), the FromSoftware line-up, Rockstar's pre-GTA V games, Bethesda's RPGs, BioWare's Mass Effect and Dragon Age runs, and Naughty Dog's Uncharted and Jak series. Legacy platforms (N64, GameCube, PS2, DS) are first-class now, so old releases land on the console they shipped on.
Marvel, DC and Star Wars lead the game catalog expansion — 74 new games, every one assigned to a franchise, and 51 of them linked to the cinematic universe they belong to (Star Wars games to the Star Wars tracker, Alien games to Alien & Predator, and so on).
Wave four completes the cinematic expansion — 74 entries, and the catalog now spans 37 universes. TV entries carry real episode counts for the pacing math, Star Trek and Dragon Ball badge their alternate continuities, and One Piece's anime is tracked as a single 1,122-episode entry.
Wave three adds 62 entries and moves into horror and prestige TV. Halloween badges its discarded timelines, The Conjuring gets a true in-universe chronology, and Godzilla (Toho) curates four eras into fifteen essential films.
Wave two adds 72 entries and closes out the blockbuster franchises. Tokyo Drift now sits sixth in Fast & Furious timeline order, Transformers badges its two continuities, and Planet of the Apes carries three.
Wave one of the catalog expansion adds 76 entries across seven franchises — release order, in-universe timeline positions, Earth designations for the Spider-Man multiverse, and canon verdicts for Terminator's branching sequels. Deadpool & Wolverine is now tracked in both the MCU and the X-Men block.
The launch catalog: 101 entries with release order, in-universe timeline positions, optional/essential flags, canon verdicts, and 6 stop points. Every ordering decision is explained inline on the tracker.
Both 2026 releases are in the road ahead of Avengers: Doomsday (18 Dec 2026). VisionQuest is provisional and flagged optional until it airs; dates will move if Marvel shuffles the slate.
Set roughly a century before The Phantom Menace, it now anchors the start of the in-universe ordering (marked optional — it has not rejoined the main saga thread).
Six moments where pausing one story to watch another avoids a spoiler. Each one explains itself on the tracker rather than hiding in a tooltip.
Sign in through Steam (OpenID) to link an account; the sync imports owned games, playtime, achievements, and global rarity percentages. Unmatched games are listed rather than silently dropped.
Upload an export, preview the matches, then commit. Existing entries are never overwritten — imports only fill gaps, so re-running the same file is safe.
