A few additional things I forgot to mention in my last reply:

Ant-Man and the Wasp (Mrmichaelt)
In the The Empire Film Podcast spoiler special interviews, Stephen Broussard again said that they try not to date the Marvel films, saying that there is only "a couple of markers here and there", giving Howard Stark's death as an example of one of the few dates in the films. I know they mean this well - as Broussard said, they do it to make the films feel more "timeless", but it's a bit annoying when they say this, because it suggests that they're either not aware or choose to ignore the numerous dates and pieces of timeline evidence in their films.

Runaways: Season 2 (Mrmichaelt, Edward Zachary Sunrose)
It's interesting that they're releasing all 13 episodes at once this time instead of going week-to-week like last season. It'll be just like the Netflix stuff. It's kind of annoying because it can become a lot of work at once, but there's also some positives in that we get to deal with all the evidence at once.

Additional: Cloak & Dagger SDCC Panel
The Cloak & Dagger SDCC panel gave a little bit of extra evidence. Where I provide the links, I've put the timestamp into the URL to take you to that point in the video.
 * 16:22: Talking about the audition scene they did, "It was these two meeting in the graveyard, I think Gina very smartly just said, "You guys touched once when you were 8 years old, you changed each other's lives and then you never saw each other again, and this is you two reuniting."" This suggests they were both 8 in the flashbacks, although we know Tandy was 9. We can take this as just them generalising the age of the two of them and not wanting to take the time to say "8 and 9", as well as putting it down to the fact that this was at the audition stage before things got finalised.
 * 21:45: Not timeline evidence but Olivia gets a bit confused I think. She says Cloak and Dagger are mentioned in Jessica Jones: Season 2 and that therefore Jessica knows they exist, but I'm fairly certain they're not mentioned. I think she's getting confused with the Season 2, Episode 3 line, "Could this be any more cloak and dagger?" This is just the use of the real world phrase "cloak and dagger", and was maybe just written in partly as a subtle nod to the fact that there are Marvel characters called Cloak and Dagger. But it's not an in-universe reference to her knowing Cloak and Dagger. Besides, by that point, it's only been a couple of months since their season ended, and presumably in those couple of months they haven't suddenly become famous and/or known as "Cloak and Dagger".
 * 29:46: Olivia mentions 8 years. Obviously that's not in dispute but just yet another mention of "8 years" to add to the list.
 * 33:35: The bit that got quoted online, when someone asks a question about where it falls in the timeline in relation to Infinity War, and Jeph Loeb said, "I think one of the things that faces us as a challenge because of when the movies are made, when the shows are made, and the timing of everything... That the short answer is that the stories that you're seeing, unless otherwise noted, all happen before - sorry if this spoils somebody's life - what is affectionately referred to as "The Thanos Snap". And we'll continue to be in that place until we find out what happens in Avengers 4, because what we don't want to do is tell a story and then, in Avengers 4, something else happens, so that's sort of the easiest way for us to get around that."

Additional: Iron Man 3 Wikipedia Page
I'd had enough of the Wikipedia page for Iron Man 3 saying the main events were 2013. I created a Wikipedia account to correct this. Naturally, when I changed it to 2012 and gave a tonne of evidence, it nonetheless got reverted because 2013 is "what the film says", according to the users on there. But I'm fighting on the talk page to get it changed to "present day", which is exactly what the film says on-screen and is what all the other MCU films with prologues say on their Wikipedia articles. I don't mind if it doesn't say 2012, but it shouldn't say 2013.

Personal Note
It's my exam results day tomorrow morning (16 August 2018 07:30 BST, which is 02:30 New York/06:30 UTC), so I'm focused on that at the moment. It's not just results, it's about determining my university for the next few years and how my future shapes up. The next few years of my life get decided tomorrow so naturally, that's my focus at the moment. So sorry for a bit of inactivity in the last couple of days, and any inactivity in the coming couple of days.
