In other, pretty exciting news.

Endgame confirmed an important event in 2988 B.C. (essentially confirming that's when the Svartalfheim battle was), that Avengers was specifically May 2012, and that there was an important event in November 2009!

Now, obviously Iron Man doesn't involve an Infinity Stone. But there's nothing else going on around then, so I think, unless it's just a random date that coincidentally lines up, it's still an Iron Man Easter egg. Especially since we know from that April 2008 thing before that they're likely throwing in Easter eggs calling back to the first film in the Infinity Saga in the ending (I know Far from Home is technically the ending).

May 2012 can absolutely have just come from Marvel using the release date.

2988 B.C. can quite possibly have just come from Marvel, if someone was attentive enough to realise it shouldn't be 2987 B.C.. The writers had it down as -7 on their whiteboard, but it's very possible Marvel noticed.

But with November 2009 as well? Assuming it isn't just coincidence and is indeed an Iron Man Easter egg... there would then be a good chance it came from the wiki. I mean, it's possible that they worked it out, considering the official timeline from 2012 places it in roughly 2009. But for Marvel to specifically put November 2009, when the MCU has twice recently implied it erroneously thinks Iron Man is probably just 2008? A lot of work went into achieving that conclusion on my/our part. If Marvel didn't go through all that work and achieving the same conclusion on their part... there's honestly, I feel, especially with getting the 2988 B.C. correct as well, a chance that they got this from the wiki.

There's a chance that my work, doing the Phase One calculations, has had an effect on Endgame😱. Awesome! It's really nice when these kind of things line up.

Also, having finished AoS: Season 6, I'm both curious and nervous about how they'll deal with the time travel aspect. One Things I had in mind is that they'll at least be able to return Deke and Flint back to their own time, although possibly not to the timeline they originate from.
