M. Night Shymalan Created his own Story Arc and Movie Universe (Theory)

The Hypothetical M. Night Movieverse

*Ugh* The Last Airbender (I wanted to exclude this one for obvious reasons, but it happened. In this theory, the events of the last Airbender actually precede the events of all the other movies. Accepting that the metaphysical world was opened and remained a possibility in the timeline, allows for the Glass trilogy to occur. "Special" people are still gifted with the powers of the ancients from The Last Airbender...)

Unbreakable

Split

Glass (These three in their story order, because the characters ultimately die and give credence to this overall very loose theory)

The Village (This story can be said to be happening at the same time as one of the other movies due to no metaphysical or extraterrestrial storylines...)

The Sixth Sense (Let's ignore the chronology and say that Bruce Willis from The Glass series forgets that he was shot when he died and assumed that he lived a different life.... I said this was loose lol) - This opens up the return to the greater metaphysical world due to the ending of the movie...

Devil (The metaphysical world has now been opened and can tie in to his other movies...)

The Visit

Lady in the Water (It happened, whatever.)

The Happening (This happened)

Signs (This is a rough order, but I believe that signs would have had to have happened after the happening to justify global sightings of aliens. The "wind" or whatever was the precipice for the alien invasion and ultimate takeover of earth...)

After Earth (Due to the alien invasion from Signs, humanity was wiped out and it led to this storyline)
