When Does "Skull Island" (2023) Take Place?
"Skull Island" is an adventure horror (kaiju) animated television series showran by Brian Duffield with Jacob Robinson that released June 22nd, 2023. So when is "Skull Island" set?
It takes place on the fictional MonsterVerse timeline in the year:
We know this because the main action must take place only a fairly short amount of time after the flashback scene that opens episode 2 "The Last Blank Space on the Map", which happens in (possibly January of) 1993 AD.
1993 AD
We know this because the main action must take place only a fairly short amount of time after the flashback scene that opens episode 2 "The Last Blank Space on the Map", which happens in (possibly January of) 1993 AD.
1.1993 + some months = ?.1993.
Additionally, episode 2 "The Last Blank Space on the Map" opens with a prologue flashback to a point just before episode 1 "Maritime Pilot", in (probably January of) 1993 AD. During this scene an unnamed veteran specifically says, "End of the war, our ship got sent out on a classified mission to this island. Dozen choppers left, none came back." and "You know what they call that place? Skull Island.", referring to the events of the film "Kong: Skull Island" (2017), which takes place in January of 1973 AD ("the war" mentioned is almost certainly the American War in Vietnam). Between these two lines he says, "That was 20 years ago."
1.1973 + 20 = 1.1993.
Finally, episode 7 "You're Not a King, You're Just a Stupid Animal" opens with a flashback prologue of its own. It is technically unplaceable.
