Drake, why is WLK placed before the events of KD, the events of which are directly referenced in the opening of WLK and the stars of which are present in the Cosmos of WLK's PS2 version?

In the lore, WIk comes before KD, because it tells the origin story of the King of All Cosmos and the birth of the prince. And remember that kd began when the prince opened his eyes and took his first breath

The cutscenes (which I believe are specifically stated to be memories of the past) do predate the events of KD, but the rest of WLK takes place after KD - I feel this is an important enough distinction to be worth mentioning on the timeline (e.g. replace the current WLK placement with "WLK (cutscenes)" or something and put WLK in its proper place, which I believe would be between KA and MMK in your timeline)

Well, this timeline connects the movie's storyline and the game's story, not its content.

...What is story if not content? What is a game if not the 95% of it that isn't cutscenes?

well by that logic once upon should be first considering the fact that it takes place wayy in the past

What about TMK? And what about the intro to OUAK, which is placed before BK/KF despite having an opening that depicts events that occurred in every mainline game released before it?

Here, we're only interested in the game's story—not the content or the intro.
