I loved Creed; it was a great film. But why did they make Adonis Apollo's illegitimate son, as opposed to the son he had with Mary Anne that made a brief appearance in Rocky II (along with his sister)? Where's the other son, Adonis's half-brother?

Because that kid would be 40+ years old now.

As it is Michael B. Jordan was born 2 years after Rocky IV - that's about as stretchy as you can get.

Maybe Apollo had a quickie with one of James Brown's dancers backstage prior to his fight with Drago...

Did you see the mansion Mary Ann still lived in? Apollo's kids were soft trust fund babies. They needed a higher with some fire.....some pain....a harsh back story...thus the reform school bastard child

yea the timeline is all kinds of fricked up

Rocky 4 takes place immediately after Rocky 3 which was in 1982. Rocky comes home for Paulie's bday IMMEDIATELY after sparring with Apollo as the favor for training him.

And presumably a few weeks/months later Apollo is dead.

so unless retroactively, rocky 3 takes place in the future, the timeline is all fricked

Adonis being Creed's bastard son drives the whole movie. He is out to prove that he's not a mistake. He says this at the end

I thought it was pretty powerful

Kind of like how Rocky 5 begins with Rocky coming back from Russia and all of the sudden, his son has aged 4 years.

Yeah, I was trying to work out the timeline in my head while watching it and thought it was a bit off.

I didn't give a shite though because it was such a good movie.

She saved the condom after a 1 night stand and decided it was time.

Well, the museum had a banner that said 1990 at the end of Rocky 5, so...
