So I've been doing some calculations and I have a new proposal for the timeline regarding Infinity War, Endgame, SHIELD Season 5, SHIELD Season 6, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Ant-Man & The Wasp.

In Spider-Man: Far From Home, Betty Brandt says they "blipped out" in the middle of the school year and had already taken their midterms. This means Infinity War has to take place in either November 2018, December 2018, or January 2019.

If we assume it does, this could actually help Ant-Man & The Wasp. We've been assuming Scott's 2-year sentence was processed really quickly, and potentially even shortened so it would line up with June or spring 2018. But if Infinity War takes place in November 2018 - January 2019, that actually gives Ant-Man & The Wasp more leeway.

This is because Scott's 2-year sentence would have possibly started a little bit after Civil War, maybe even a month or two later. It's much more reasonable to assume that Scott was in prison for a while following Civil War and that he took time to process, rather than him making the deal and being processed immediately, before somehow shortening his sentence.

So based on SHIELD Season 6 being a year after SHIELD Season 5, here's my new proposed timeline:

SHIELD Season 5 takes place from December 2017 - January 2018 (along with the first 2 seasons of Runaways).

Ant-Man & The Wasp takes place in November 2018, with Scott's sentence having officially started in November 2016, a few months after Civil War.

SHIELD Season 6 takes place in January 2019, a year after SHIELD Season 5.

Very soon after SHIELD Season 6, Avengers: Infinity War takes place in late January 2019, right at the beginning of the second half of the school year for Midtown High. Some high schools have their midterms before Christmas break, while others have them right after New Years. Late January covers either scenario.

Then we have the beginning of Endgame in late February 2019.

The rest of Endgame is of course in October 2023, with Spider-Man: Far From Home being in June 2024.

February 2019 to October 2023 is 4 years and 8 months, which is pretty close to 5 years, so the "Five Years Later" thing still works as an approximation from the movie.

The only really big issue with this is the "stuff happening in New York" on the news at the end of SHIELD Season 5, as well as Thanos supposedly having already started his assult on Earth. The only way this works is if we assume that the Confederacy was wrong about Thanos and that the devastation in New York was part of some unknown crisis we've never seen in any of the movies or shows that happened a year before Infinity War. It's a pretty ugly assumption, but we have to make it if this is going to work.

Let me know what you guys think of this proposal.
