Welp. At the TCA summer tour, they announced [https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/marvel/runaways/marvels-runaways-gets-a-mid-december-premiere-date-for-season-three-a169759 Runaways season 3 drops on December 13. All 10 episodes all at once].

BEJT wrote: Nice, thanks. I'm definitely rusty on pre-2014 stuff other than the films, need to reread some comics. It's set in 2012 so yes, if it was about 8 years prior that would line up. You're welcome. I remembered it right away because it was one of the few numerical hints about Widow's past, heh. And one of the really great tie-in comics, imo, before they started getting stingy with the amount of original stories.

So yeah, Odessa is 2009 and that's never been a problem for me, just a mission she went on a bit before Iron Man 2. I'll agree it's definitely late 2000s and that it was probably just a standard SHIELD mission.

BEJT wrote: It's a bit of an odd thought. Imagine he went back 1 day to May 3, 2012. Then he would be in the stem timeline that feeds into both the main timeline and the 2012 offshoot. However, if he then just lived out another day, he would still end up in the offshoot timeline, because it's not exactly just a fork, because the stem timeline isn't its own timeline, rather it's a part of both timelines. You can imagine it like train tracks with points. A track that splits into two train tracks, but for Loki the points are turned to his offshoot, so that's the way he would go living through that split again. It's the same reason Steve can't laterally jump across timelines to get back if he were in an alternate timeline.

But he doesn't necessarily need to somehow find a way to shift into the main timeline. The nice thing would be that if, say, in Episode 1 he immediately jumped to 1975 somehow, then there would no need to differentiate between timelines because he's in both at the same time. ... Yes. I think. Yes. :P
