"Fresh off being unseated as the ruler of Sakaar, the Grandmaster makes his way to Earth to start a new life. It’s been over a year since Thor left Australia and Darryl has been struggling to pay his rent. Now Darryl needs a new roommate to help make the monthly payments. Unfortunately for Darryl, the Grandmaster was the only one who answered Darryl’s “Roommate Needed” ad and with no viable options, the Grandmaster moves in." It's a damn shame they haven't made Darryl canon yet. Can we make a TRN for his shorts? 'Cause it's definitely an MCU variant. They fall under the "semi-canon" section of Earth-199999, much like other stuff that is meant as tie-ins to the MCU, but doesn't fit into what has been established in the movies. Yeah, shouldn't that stuff be classified into TRNs? Because they clearly happen in realities similar to the MCU, but not in the MCU proper. From what I understand when it comes to movie tie-ins that are non-/semi-canon, they are more so considered "apocryphal", which doesn't really warrant a TRN of itself. Some tie-ins fit with the canon, while others don't down the line, so I guess it would be a pain grouping the non-/semi-canon ones into a TRN and updating it, or giving each tie-in material their own TRN.

The only exception I can think of a tie-in that does have a TRN, are the video game tie-ins to both 'The Amazing Spider-Man' movies, but that's mainly because the developers themselves never intended it to be canonical with what happens in the movies.
