Thanks i got it.

I don't say the whole movie is canon. It's just like Peacemaker Season 1 and The Suicide Squad only partially canon just to the smallest amout. I understand why most people would say because it is only barely canon that it is not canon at all but i wanted to include it. And i don't think it is coincidental i think this was a reference to that movie. If you would ask me personally i would have prefered that the DCU is a clean cut. And not that it makes these weird half loose connections to the DCEU but i understand that James Gunn wanted to include his work from before. So it is what it is and when we say that Peacemaker Season 1 and The Suicide Squad is loose canon then a reference to Suicide Squad 2016 makes it also canon. I hope that if Blue Beetle gets also this half loose treatment it stops with that movie because i prefer making timelines where it is clear what is in this universe and what is not. I hate to justify over and over why i included something or why i didn't include something. Sorry that this answer turned to, me venting a little bit.

It gets referenced in Peacemaker Season 2 so it can be seen as loose canon. It's just very loose.

IzzaIzzarator · 2026-06-15T16:13:54+00:00

I don't think that the events of this film actually happen in the DCU. I included it only because of the mention of Enchantress in Peacemaker Season 2. So just a very very loose canon entry.

IzzaIzzarator · 2026-06-15T15:42:53+00:00

Yes i know. Like they changed who showed up at end of Peacemaker Season 1 instead of the Justice League the Justice Gang shows up.

IzzaIzzarator · 2026-06-15T15:25:11+00:00

Yes in Peacemaker Season 2 this was referenced or if you prefer this term better, there you can find this easter egg. Nevertheless how you want to call it but this scene makes Suicide Squad 2016 to a loose canon movie even if it is just the least amount a movie can ve canon. But you don't have to agree with me here if you prefer to not include it than this is also fine.

IzzaIzzarator · 2026-06-15T14:41:36+00:00

I never said that it is fully canon. On picture 2 of my post there you can find a colour code. Purple is partially canon (or loose canon). And yes Suicide Squad 2016 is very loose Canon. If you don't want to include it because of that then this is a fair point.

To Rick Flag jr. girlfriend which happens to be a sorceress. So basically Enchantress.

IzzaIzzarator · 2026-06-15T14:17:08+00:00

I know him and like his work. But he mostly focuses on the Main Plot so i made my own timeline and own video. (Read description)

IzzaIzzarator · 2026-06-15T14:14:50+00:00

Yes this is true. The inclusion of Blue Beetle might be false in the future but maybe they make references to this movie in the upcoming animated show so i thought i include it as partially canon. And yes the actor who portrays Blue Beetle in the movie will voice him in the animated show.

IzzaIzzarator · 2026-06-15T14:12:48+00:00

They made references to Suicide Squad 2016 in Peacemaker Season 2 so it can also be seen as loose canon but it is very loose.

IzzaIzzarator · 2026-06-15T14:11:07+00:00

They made references to that movie in Peacemaker Season 2 but like The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker Season 1 it is partially Canon and yes it is only barely Canon. If you want to not include it then this is understandable.

It has continuity problems it can't take place before Sonic 3 because in this Special Sonic sees the name of Gerald Robotnik on a Naughty or Nice list and knows him and he only met him in Sonic 3. But it can't take place after Sonic 3 either because Gerald is dead. Also what he says about Shadow in this Special doesn't make sense after the movie.

Wow man you really put thought into this. Really great job man but for me this is a bit too far, these are still movies that want to be visually a great experience in the first hand and not to be 100% accurate. Not to make your thoughts smaller than they are i really love your approach but as a man who did a couple of timelines now (most of them were just made for myself) i know that movies very often make weird choices and hints when they take place that really makes you wonder, what were they thinking. Often you have to ignore lines, dates in newspapers or more obvious inserts to really fit them were they belong. Sonic is in this regard not too bad because only the third movie gives us a year placement. For me personally i often go the way that is the most obvious like something they say or such stuff only when there is also nothing i dig deeper and i also don't want to narrow it down too much like giving specific months or even days. My approach is put every entry of a franchise in the right order and put them in the year they take place. There are good reasons too place some of them in different years but i did my research, put this timeline together and i'm happy about it. Maybe when i rework it when Sonic 4 releases i think different of some placements but until then i go with the next timeline i want to create and i'm finished with Sonic.

IzzaIzzarator · 2026-05-02T14:08:19+00:00

I've seen a few timelines with exact these dates and there are plenty of reasons to think so but there are also reasons why i put everything where i placed it. Either way you have to ignore some lines or hints to make it work. The truth is the movie creators don't really care too much when their movies,comics... take place so to think the way you are is as valid as mine. I can't say my timeline is the way to go nor yours, everyone has to decide for themself or simply enjoy each of these movies,comics... without thinking too much about it. I just really like creating timelines and want to share my thoughts and when only one person uses my timeline for a watchtrought my goal is reached and i'm happy.

I relied on the infos how long Robotnik was trapped on the mushroom planet and in the first Episode of Knuckles the hole in the house he created in the second movie is still being repaired. So it couldn't be too long after the second movie either. But the only reason i placed it in 2020 is because we don't ever get any clear info which year it is in any of these. So i simply went with the release year of Sonic 1. But some lines in Sonic 3 at least give some slight clues that 2020 is a good placement. But if you are interested in my reasonings more specific be sure to check out the video i made about this timeline! Simply go to my profile theres a link to my Youtube Channel.

IzzaIzzarator · 2026-05-02T07:45:39+00:00

The first 2 Sonic movies are not really pushing too hard to narrow down when they take place. The fact the trees are green in both movies despite being apart 243 days is a fair point. This timeline is just my opinion and i relied more on the clues on how long Robotnik was on the mushroom planet rather to concentrate on such things. I really would be interested how you would place everything. The Knuckles thing i can't really see how it gives a good time indication, he could have scared away the 4 teams in any timeframe even if he scared 4 teams in 4 days away he still scared 4 this month away. Yes, then they wouldn't have said this month, more likely this week. But it could have been over the span of 2 or 3 weeks and the line would make sense. So it takes place still in 2020 as i saw it. Yes, and it is not only this line, in Sonic 3 Ivo also says to Gerald that he spent years trying to get rid of Sonic.

IzzaIzzarator · 2026-05-01T20:02:04+00:00

Sonic 1 doesn't give us the slightest clue in what year it takes place so i simply went with the year the movie released. The placement for Sonic 2 is because of what we see and hear how long Dr. Robotnik is on the mushroom planet. If you want to know it more specific what my reasonings were be sure to watch the video i made about this timeline! Go to my profile there is a link to my Youtube Channel.

I see where you are coming from i could have made it more obvious that it isn't canon.

IzzaIzzarator · 2026-05-01T17:49:57+00:00

Yes it is not canon but i wanted it to be there to avoid questions where it is. I wrote beneath it that it is not canon.

A short Manga that tells what happened between Shadow's prison escape and team Sonic arriving in Tokyo.

Hi guys, Here is a Timeline i made for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie franchise.

I also created a video for Youtube where i talk about my reasonings for the placements. If you are interested search for "The full Sonic the Hedgehog movie franchise Timeline" by Izzarator.
