Ah OK, sorry, I thought you were saying they were two entirely separate parallel realities. I think I get you now.

I wouldn't say it's paradoxical, because that would suggest it's kind of impossible. I just think there's two Fitzes now. There was just the one Fitz, who was taken in May 2017, escaped in November, and then went to sleep in November 2017. 2 months later, the timeline split, and we got 2 Fitzes. In the original timeline, Original Fitz slept for a further 73 years, woke up in 2091, and then came back to the stem timeline, dying just at the beginning of the new timeline. In the new timeline, meanwhile, New Fitz is still out in space, but his future is uncertain.

Anyway, the names of the articles and splitting the articles and things, I'm not really concerned about. That's up to admins. Not a timeline problem. Yeah, we're definitely on the same page regarding this. I suppose it can't really be called a paradox since the Multiverse Theory allows it to happen.

Cool, it would be great to see a crossover. Not sure how viable, but would be cool - especially since the Runaways are, as of the end of Season 1, now on the run, allowing for more of a comic situation like that.

Would be a bit odd for them to jump in time after a whole season set in the past or something like that, but hey, it's possible. We'll see, it's possible it's just set in present day, but also sounds like there's a good chance it's mid-2000s. A crossover in Runaways: Season 2 sounds like a really fun idea. But yeah, them being on different networks would undoubtebly get in the way, at least at the moment.

We'll have to wait and see when the show is set. I did notice that at the beginning of this trailer, Tyrone has a smartphone with a touchscreen. The first commercially available smartphone with a capacitive touchscreen was the LG Prada, which was first released in May 2007. The first generation of iPhone was first released on June 29, 2007.

That would be great. They could release the one-shot between the two Netflix seasons which are either side of Infinity War in the timeline - say, Iron Fist: Season 2 and The Punisher: Season 2. It's also possible that that point in time could coincide with the release of Avengers 4 - that Avengers 4 might be coming out between the two Netflix seasons between which Infinity War places.

In that case, they could release it a bit after, just before the next Netflix season (if that were to be the first post-Infinity War Netflix season). Then the one-shot could show the fallout across New York with the Netflix characters, and it would show viewers where Infinity War falls in the Netflix timeline as well as give us some crossover and a great one-shot.

Sadly, it won't happen, considering the production schedules, the one-shots being inactive, the film and TV division problems, and the fact that the one-shots are low-budget (since Marvel I believe feel they don't really justify being made. Their ever-so-slight boost in blu-ray sales from their inclusion (almost all people buying the blu-ray would have bought it even without the one-shot) doesn't turn profit for them). The effects and the actors and things would make this too high-budget for a one-shot. It's really unfortunately, since it would have given us the chance to see what all the heroes and their respective supporting casts were doing while Infinity War was happening.

Seeing a One-Shot with, for example, Jessica witnessing the alien ship above New York and maybe even a brief appearance of Trish as Hellcat would have been pretty interesting.

OK cool, thanks for your research. It sounds, and looks (from the image I've seen of him killing his mother) like it's like the Asgardians, where they age at a roughly human rate until adulthood and then slow down.

So, say Eros/Starfox is very approximately 1750ish (from "Well over 1000", my best quick guess), and from his Marvel Database Wiki photos he looks to be in his 30s in human years, so 35.0ish - this would mean that, assuming adulthood starts at about 18.0, they would age at roughly (35 - 18) / (1750 - 18) = 0.00981524249 speed from 18 on (one 101.9th, very similar to the Asgardian ageing speed).

It wasn't worth doing super accurate maths or weighted averages or anything with this estimate. Josh Brolin was about 45.53 during filming for Guardians of the Galaxy and about 49.18 during filming for Avengers: Infinity War. Assuming Thanos is supposed to look about Josh Brolin's age, that's about 47.355 (haven't done any weighted average or anything) in about April 2016 (the middle of the dates the two films are set).

Then he'd be about 18 + ((47.355 - 18) / 0.00981524249) = 3008.9ish in April 2016, so 3010.9ish now.

Therefore, basically, we're looking at ballpark about 3000.

Definitely not enough info to put it onto the timeline, since it's from the comics not the MCU, a very rough estimate of Eros/Starfox's age from just "well over 1000", a guess at Eros/Starfox's age in human years, a guess at how Titans age, and a guess at Thanos' age in human years. Still, a bit of a sense of Thanos' age. Cool. Although it should be noted that Thanos and Eros can't be too far apart in age. It's been stated on several occasions that they grew up together (with Eros being Thanos only true childhood friend) as well as the fact that Thanos killed their mother when he was 12.

As for how long Titans can live, the answer is that they can live pretty much indefinitely.

The backstory is that, about 1 million years ago, the Celestials experimented on several tribes of Homo erectus. The result was the creation of two distinct species, the Eternals (Homo immortalis) and the Deviants (Homo descendus).

The Eternals built an isolated city, Titanos, in Northern Asia, where they would live for thousands of years. Around 750,000 years ago, the brothers Uranos and Kronos would fight for control of the city, with Uranos wanting to conquer the rest of the world while Kronos preferred peaceful isolation. Kronos eventually won and Uranos and his followers left the Earth, first settling on Uranos (named after Uranos himself) and eventually forming a permanent settlement on one of the moons of Saturn, which they named Titan in memory of their ancestral home.

About 5,000 years ago, Kronos seemingly died when his experiment involving cosmic energy exploded (although he continued to exist as disembodied mind). The explosion destroyed the city but also imbued the surviving Eternals with cosmic energy, rendering them all immortal (in the sense that they can't get sick and don't age much, they can still die if they suffer any fatal injuries).

Afterwards, Kronos' son Zuras became the leader of the Eternals while his brother A'Lars, not wanting to cause another civil war, went into voluntary exile to Titan, where he met Sui-San and eventually had his two sons (it should be noted that, in the original telling of this story, Titan had been ravaged by a devastating war, which had killed everyone on the planet except for Sui-San, she and A'Lars subsequently repopulated and rebuilt the world).

It was once implied that Eros had inspired the Greek/Roman god Eros/Cupid during a visit to Earth in the distant past, but we can take that with a grain of salt as the actual deity exists within the marvel universe.

Also, in a recent story, Thanos met a future version of himself from millions of years into the future. This version has evidently aged, but he had summoned his younger self because he needed someone strong enough to kill him, as he couldn't die of natural causes.

It's a bit long, I admit, but I hope it gives an idea of how long the Titans can live, at least within the comics.
