BETJ, that video you linked, this one, Russo does say a "very incorrect 8 years later", I'd say that's confirmation enough. Also, Avengers can't be both 6 years before Infinity War and 8 years before Homecoming. For anyone rationalizing it by saying "Tony's referring to Iron Man 3" this simply does not make sense. Why would the Russo's be referencing Iron Man 3 of all movies? That's one of the least relevant movies to Infinity War. It makes much more sense for Tony to be referring to the Battle of New York, both from a story perspective and a writing perspective. Audiences are more likely to think of Avengers, not Iron Man 3 when Tony says that, and I'm sure the Russo's knew that when they wrote it. Oh, no, it's 10000% about Avengers. The line is specifically about Thanos sending an army to attack New York and how it triggered anxiety in Tony.

I didn't think the Russo thing was confirmation, like most people did. I just took it to be him talking about the controversy, like "Haha, yes, a "very incorrect "8 years later"", we've been told." But Tony's "6 years" line - that is confirmation, and it's great.

Mostly good, I think we're pretty perfect on this film's timeline! Although, maybe the Infinity Gauntlet stuff. On the discussion boards, Pratik sultania floated the idea that perhaps the Infininty Gauntlet was a concept for a very long time, and that's why Odin had a fake of it in 2010, but it had never actually been forged until Thanos forced Eitri to make it. I wonder if, on your rewatch, you could see if that feels like it works. As well as this, could you perhaps look out for whether there is a mention that Thanos went to Nidavellir some time after Asgard's destruction, or if it was simply at a time recently when Asgard didn't come to help - so quite possibly simply during Loki's reign. Basically, was the gauntlet forged some time between 2013 and 2018, or just between 2017 and 2018?

And, this isn't timeline-related, but I'm curious - someone's been saying you can see Valkyrie's dead body, in her white armour, at the beginning in the panning shot as Ebony Maw walks across the ship. I haven't seen anyone else say this, and wondered if you might pay close attention to try and see. Also, I've heard some people say that Thor tells Rocket Thanos only wiped out half of the Asgardians - which, of course, would make sense, but I didn't catch that and came out of the film assuming all the Asgardians were gone. Could you also look out for that?

Thanks.

Doctor Strange used the TIme Stone to change something about the Battle of New York that ensures the one timeline where they win against Thanos occurs. This is the cause of all the Heroes who formed after New York disappearing, and not because of the Snap. This is why Strange tells Tony "It was the only way". Something about this change will give them some sort of advantage in a second battle with Thanos to take the Infinity Gauntlet and reverse Thanos' Snap. I believe Tony will use the BARF system to replicate the battle and try to understand what changed.

Second Theory: Shuri finished replicating the Mind Stone architecture and will replace in Vision, creating White Vision. when Wanda she will restore his Humanity. Interesting theory, although I think the finger-snap was as it appeared to be. I think the reason that the deaths were mostly the new guys is that, in a way, they are the ones who are safe for Avengers 4, while the old characters are in the most danger.
