So, officially shows like Agents of Shield, the Netflix Shows, The Runaways, Inhumans, Cloak and Dagger are all canon. There are some discrepancies, but they're meant to be canon.

I assume that everything that happens in one happens in the other, but the details might be a little off. If there is a discrepancy, what your watching takes precedence.

I read a position that I've adopted that everything is technically a different canon. Every movie and show. So, even though things happen in both, anything off is accounted for, like Hulk or Thunderbolt Ross looking different, the time stamp on Homecoming not matching up, the multiversal events not meshing between MCU, comics, and Sonyverse, etc.

Now that time travel, branching timelines, and wildly different variants of characters and worlds are an established part of the MCU, they really should just lean into the loose canon philosophy that Doctor Who has embraced.

That is, something is canon if it is useful to the story you are currently telling. If it contradicts that, then it is still canon, but took place in a different history that has since been altered or superceded by what's happening now. Or it was a different timeline altogether.

Just tell good stories, and people will forgive canon slippage.
