Dear Shabook, this is 123BC, and I'm writing you because I have a question regarding the timeline, based on what I've read it seems that the events of Iron Man take place in the year 2010. But shouldn't it takeplace in the year 2008, the same year it was released in? I'm thinking this for the two following reasons.

1.In Captain America Civil War, which takes place in the year 2016, Vision states "In the eight years since Mr. Stark has revealed his identity as Iron Man", which implies that Iron Man takes place in 2008.

2. In Iron Man, Pepper can be seen watching an episode of Mad Money, which is dated May 4, 2008, meaning that Iron Man takes place in 2008.

So my question is, does Iron Man take place in 2008 or 2010?
