MCU Timeline: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Many millions of years ago - the emergence of Ego.

Over millions of years - he learns to control molecules, creating a planet around himself.

Thousands of years ago - 2014:

Ego discovers other life forms in the universe. Disappointed with what he has found, he decides that his true destiny is to turn every world into himself.

He plants his spores in the soil of thousands of planets.

Faced with the limitations of his abilities, Ego impregnates members of other species on these planets in the hopes of producing another Celestial.

After the children are born, he takes them to his planet in the hope that they carry his Celestial genes. But they all "fail" him, and he kills them without remorse.

Late 1970s - early 1980s:

Ego comes to Earth and falls in love with Meredith Quill.

He impregnates her and plants his seed on Earth.

After this, Ego returns to Earth 3 times to see Meredith. The last time, he places a tumor in her head so that he doesn't have to stop his Expansion for her.

~May 1980 - Ego shows a pregnant Meredith Quill his seed, which he planted in Missouri.

Late 1980 - Peter Quill is born.

Before 1988:

Yondu Udonta's parents sold him into slavery when he was an infant.

Yondu spends the next 20 years as a Kree battle slave.

Stakar, the leader of the Ravagers, frees him and offers him a place among them.

Yondu, now captain of one of the Ravager factions, betrays the Ravager's code by kidnapping Ego's children and delivering them to him. For this, Stakar exiles Yondu.

1988 - Peter is abducted by the Ravagers. Yondu decides to keep the boy to save him from the fate of the other children of Ego.

1988-2014 - Ego is looking for Peter.

Late 1990/1991 - Peter Quill becomes a 10-year-old spaceship pilot and takes possession of Milano.

Summer 2014:

The Battle of Xandar.

Yondu places a tracer on Milano.

Ego hears about Star-Lord.

The main events take place in late September or early October 2014, a few months after GotG 1.

Note: We can determine the month from the scenes with Ego's seed on Earth during his Expansion attempt. As you can see, it is the time of fallen leaves, while most plants are still green, which means it is most likely late September or early October.

Days or weeks before Day 1 - Nebula attempts to steal the Anulax batteries on the Sovereign and is captured.

Day 1:

Evening - Guardians fight an abilisk for the Sovereign and kill it.

After the fight, Rocket steals some batteries.

The Sovereign's leader, Ayesha, gives them the captured Nebula as payment.

Team sets off to Xandar to deliver Nebula to the Nova Corps for a bounty.

The Sovereign realize that the batteries have been stolen and pursue GotG into space until the team is saved by Ego, who destroys all of the Sovereign's remote-controlled spaceships.

Having sustained serious damage in battle, Milano makes an emergency landing on the planet Berhert.

Guardians and Nebula meet Ego and Mantis.

Night - Ego invites Peter and Co to visit his planet.

Day 2:

On the planet Contraxia, while Yondu's Ravagers are enjoying themselves, he meets Stakar. Stakar decides to deprive the local brothel owner of her clientele from all the Ravager clans for servicing Yondu's clan.

Ayesha comes to Contraxia to hire Yondu to capture and deliver GotG to her.

Morning - Peter, Gamora, and Drax follow Ego and Mantis, leaving Rocket and Groot to repair the ship and guard Nebula.

On Ego's ship, Mantis puts him to sleep. She and the Guardians talk and she demonstrates her abilities.

Rocket sets traps around the ship.

~Noon - Ego's ship arrives on his planet.

Ego tells the team his story: he is a Celestial, and the planet is him too.

Afternoon - finally, after many unsuccessful attempts to find someone among his children who would have the same abilities as him, Ego finds them in Peter. He teaches his son to use "light" to control the molecules of the planet.

Peter is having a great time playing ball with his father.

Meanwhile, Mantis tells Drax her short story and almost reveals what is really going on, but is interrupted by Gamora.

Mantis shows Gamora and Drax their quarters.

Night on Berhert - after using all the traps, the Rocket is caught. Yondu only wants to take the stolen batteries to sell them, but a member of his crew named Taserface starts a mutiny. Groot frees Nebula, and she helps the mutineers capture Yondu by blowing off his arrow controller.

On the Ravagers' ship, the mutineers bully Groot and kill members of the clan loyal to Yondu (all Kraglin's friends).

Nebula stops the killing by making a deal with Taserface to hand over the captives to interested parties for a reward, and receives a new arm.

She heads off to Ego's planet to kill Gamora.

Evening on Ego's planet - Peter and Gamora argue about Ego and the place.

Gamora sits alone in a field when she is attacked by Nebula in a spaceship. They fight, Nebula wins but is unable to kill Gamora. They end up with a truce.

Night on the Ravagers' ship - Yondu and Rocket are left together in a cell. Yondu tells his story and comes up with an escape plan.

Mutineers make a Ravager suit for Groot and then continue to bully him until they pass out drunk.

Yondu and Rocket send Groot to bring Yondu a new arrow controller - a prototype fin. After many attempts, Kraglin comes to the rescue.

Day 3:

Gamora and Nebula discover the bones of Ego's murdered children.

Kraglin turns on Quill's music and the three kill everyone on board and blow up the ship.

Before dying, Taserface sends Yondu's coordinates to the Sovereign.

On the detached portion of the ship, Yondu, Kraglin, Rocket, and Groot head towards Ego's planet, making 700 jumps at a time.

Ego tells Peter about the possibilities of their ability and his life's purpose - the Expansion.

A frightened Mantis wakes up Drax.

Gamora and Nebula return to the quarters, where Mantis tells them what's going on.

Ego unwisely confesses to Peter that he killed his mother by placing a tumor in her head.

Peter attacks him and ends up being hooked by an energy tentacle.

Ego destroys Peter's Walkman.

Noon in Missouri, Earth/Sunrise on Ego's planet - Using Peter as a battery, Ego launches the Expansion.

Yondu and Rocket arrive in time and pause the Expansion by crashing into Ego's "human" body.

The Sovereign fleet arrives.

The Battle on Ego's Planet.

Ayesha's fleet is destroyed again.

Ego is killed in a mind-blowing explosion.

Yondu sacrifices himself to save Peter.

Most likely later that day:

Rocket reassembles Yondu's broken arrow.

And tells the other Ravager clans about what Yondu did.

Ayesha creates Adam Warlock.

~Day 4:

Yondu's funeral and cremation.

Gamora hugs Nebula. Nebula leaves GotG for her mission impossible - to find and kill Thanos.

Kraglin gives Quill a Zune digital player with 300 songs that Yondu got for Peter.

Peter gives Kraglin the arrow.

The Ravagers arrive and hold their funeral, posthumously accepting Yondu back.

Some (short) time later:

Kraglin implants the fin into his head and learns to control the arrow.

In the process, he wounds Drax.

After a long separation, the Ravagers unite again.

2017/2018:

"You are boring" "I am Groot" post-credits scene.

Random GOTG headcanons

Peter can’t cook for shit

Drax is a surprisingly good cook

Mantis is really good at ASMR

Rocket would be (or is) a coffee addict. But he drinks his black

Gamora always has tiny braids in her hair because it reminds her of her mother

Yondu hates tight or thin clothes

Kraglin’s tattoos are actually ownership brandings

Kraglin was a child slave as well and Yondu saved him

Nebula secretly loves sweet foods

As kids, Kraglin would personally train Peter so that the others wouldn’t beat him up

Yondu kept tabs on his old crew through the years just to be sure they were alive

girl help i'm making guardians memes instead of sleeping

[chl03ph0b1a]

character chart bc why not

the sillies !!!

[ich-theosaurus]

this scene lives in my mind rent free because you can tell so clearly kraglin is uncomfortable, which, why wouldn’t he be when his people are under threat of total extermination?

yondu’s trinket obsession isn’t exactly helping, he’s just waiting to get back on the ship.

then yondu immediately goes into mocking the broker, clearly because he doesn’t give two shits about the man’s explanation, but…

my god. he was trying to cheer kraglin up. he knew it would suck being there and knew exactly what made him laugh and forget about The Horrors for a little bit.

[zyrahne]

i hate to break it to you all but the ravagers were far from good guardians to peter. taserface wasn’t a new recruit, there’s a gift with his name on it in kraglin’s flashback during the holiday special which obviously means he watched peter grow. he still openly hated peter, and so did many other crewmembers (actually, we don't see ONE other crewmember aside from kraglin show any sign that they gave a fuck about peter) they constantly pressured yondu to harm or kill peter, even starting a riot when yondu refused in the second movie. they literally killed half of the crew and laughed in their face as they were dying. they clearly don't give a shit about each other, and definitely not someone they considered "cargo".

in the first movie, when the ravagers catch peter, they beat him and pin him to the wall. they were planning to kill him, like how yondu ordered in the beginning of the film. they didn’t just want him gone, they actively terrorized and abused him, something peter himself admits in the second film. he tells ego how yondu and the others kept him in terror and forced him to try to earn his keep by working for them. their treatment of baby groot makes it even clearer. groot was “too adorable to kill,” but they still tormented and abused him. kicking him, laughing at him, pouring alcohol on him, etc. if they could do that to groot, imagine what they did to a defenseless kid like peter. (also, them forcing groot into ravager gear was probably their way of trying to replace peter. someone they could dominate and exploit)

the signs of abuse are all there, and peter’s bitterness toward the ravagers makes it all the more clear tbh. this isn't about yondu, though. i DO think he was probably a shitty parental figure but the crew were probably the main factor into WHY he did those things. he couldn't show he cared about peter, because they'd think he's going soft. but he apologized for not "doing any of it right" and always protected peter, especially from his own crew. he definitely gave peter the best childhood he can provide, to a degree.

Guardians of the Galaxy headcanons (part 3!)

This is the third part of my headcanon series!!

Gotg headcanons compilation:

1 2 3 4

Authors Note: This is a ship edition! (A.k.a Starbula, Starmora Bugborg and Kragdu! + Rocket third wheeling/playing wingman)

• Yondu would be such an old-fashioned kind of guy. Like I'm sure that Peter taught him some things because Yondu was used to just hooking up with women and yk all that but then he realised he was in love with Kraglin and his first thought was "..well shit."

• If the ships were a trope I'd think they'd be;

Starmora: Star-crossed lovers

Starbula: Opposites attract

Bugborg: Sunshine and Grumpy

Kragdu: Captain and his Right hand man

• When Quill told Rocket about his crush on Gamora, Rocket laughed straight in his face. Bc obviously that's what he'd probably do but anyways- Rocket was always silently rooting for them like he'd kind of try to set them up on missions and use the "I'm the captain so do as I say" excuse but it was never really that

• Nebula was obviously upset when Gamora died, but during gotg 3 she had feelings for Quill but the fact that he couldn't get over Gamora? It shattered her heart everytime he'd call out to Gamora while asleep or absolutely hammered.

• Mantis had a crush on Nebula since they first met probably at the end of gotg 2 at one point, like Mantis took one look and she might as well have said "WHO IS THIS FINE WOMAN ON THE SHIP?" And her crush just got worse once Nebula joined the team

• Rocket sees the smallest bit of romance in a movie or in real life and instantly just hates on it. Like- Quill and Gamora holding hands? "Get a grip of yourselves we're on a mission." And heaven forbid he catches them doing anything more than that 😭

• Kraglin tried to deny his feelings at first and simply put them to 'best friends' (he was in heavy denial leave him alone.) Because Yondu was so focused on little Quill, Kraglin thought that Yondu only cared because he was his 'right hand man'

• Kraglin regrets ever turning on Yondu, like always. The amount of guilt he carried with him knowing that the last thing he did besides help was turn on him and get his friends killed? Devastating. He still thinks he doesn't deserve the arrow.

Authors note: Oops my hand slipped and y'all got some sad ones 🤷‍♀️ sorry for not too many headcanons I'm bad at romance ones 😔

I neeedddd to talk about the fact that kraglin looks so sleepy here. He's staring directly at the clerk to make sure he doesn't try anything, but he's also soooo tired looking. Overworked. Underpaid. Forced to be yondus personal bodyguard while he looks at trinkets

[lexlightning2002]

Kragdu folks, I see and hear you!

Got drawn into that hole again, so here I am sharing some doodles with you <3

[retrobr]

do y'all think mr. udonta bought that silly frog trinket because it reminded him of kraggles' big blue doe eyes :(

[guardingthegalaxy]
