The Daily Bugle November 2024 (Assassin1and2, Mrmichaelt)
Assassin1and2 wrote: Have you guys seen the newest thedailybugle.net article?

''Did you make it to the polls this week to vote? Our government is a bit distracted counting the ballots and now in hot water as International politics heat up with London still left in ruin. 10 Downing Street responds to the revelations of Spider-Man being responsible to the damages on the Tower Bridge, demanding repair restitutions from the old Red White and Blue!

Turns out, it’s not good to have a U.S. so-called hero-- now criminal, gallivanting around Europe causing even more issues for the current administration. The Government should have started listening to the Bugle sooner and focus less on enemies abroad and more on the menace in our backyard! Will Spider-Man be the cause of yet another international incident? Or will the powers that be do the right thing and bring this menace to justice? Watch this space!!''

Does this mean that this article is set in November 2024? Mrmichaelt wrote: Yes, presumably. I think primary elections are all in the range of February to June. It would have to be the general election in November 2024 being alluded to. 4 months after the events of FFH. Yeah, interesting. Surprisingly thoughtful of the site as it seems to suggest conscious awareness of 2024. The Area 51 thing suggested they weren't really thinking about that. The thing about "over seven years" of Spider-Man suggested they're being conscious of the 5-year jump, but there had been nothing suggesting properly working out the exact year. But this would, somewhat.

They've now posted about the holiday period, so it's safe to assume that the site is now running on real time + 5 years.

I find it a little odd when smaller MCU instalments are the furthest point in the timeline - like the first few episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Season 7 being 9 months ahead of the most recent film at the time (Civil War), Runaways: Season 1 being the furthest point in the timeline when it came out (especially since Ragnarok was placed in mid-2017 at the time), The Cosmic Quest: Volume Two being the furthest point in the timeline until Avengers: Endgame. It feels a little bit like that's dangerous territory because you don't know what the state of the universe will be established to be at that time (and you get Jessica Jones: Season 3 and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Season 6 being, at the time of filming, further than the films had got in the timeline, and then causing problems). But also just even when it's not dangerous, it feels a little odd to me, like the films set the structure and forge the path. Meh. Not really a problem, just a comment.

Runaways: Season 3 (MrRLopez)

Spider-Man: Far from Home Concept Art (additional)
Stumbled upon this piece of concept art, with Tony's grave saying 1967-2018. Not significant at all really, almost certainly just a concept artist putting approximate dates just to get some dates on the grave for the concept art, the actual dates not mattering, and that's why they're wrong. But just sending as one of those things just for the archive of evidence.

I really liked that Endgame confirmed Tony was born in 1970 in the actual films themselves, because, as I go into in my "8 years later" blog, it was a rare case where the films themselves pointed to a different date of birth (December 1969, due to being 21 at some point after December 16, 1991, but the annoying Iron Man 3 "1983, I'm 14 years old" line) to what has been accepted from supplementary material - because Tony's birthday factors massively into Phase One, for the Fury's Big Week placement, and Fury's Big Week being December made no sense. So confirming he was born shortly after April 1970 was great, essentially giving us film-level permission to discard the Iron Man 3 line.

Iron Fist: Season 2/Daredevil: Season 3 Overlap Is Done (additional)
Having done all the Iron Fist: Season 2 write-ups and Daredevil: Season 3 up to Episode 7, I have worked out all the approximate timings for the scenes on days where there are events from both shows, to then be able to order all the scenes. So if you look at October 9, 2017 and October 22-27, 2017, all the Iron Fist and Daredevil scenes are in interwoven order now, to the best of my ability (without going into an unnecessary extreme amount of detail).

Obviously some of those days also have Cloak & Dagger events as well, will get to those. But for now, yeah, the Iron Fist/Daredevil overlap is done, for anyone who's interested.
