I might have concrete dates on the timeline for Captain Marvel. I didn't do any of this research, other than a quick google search to see if this fact stands.

Basically I was scrolling through YouTube minding my own business, I noticed that someone made a Guiness World Record for watching Capt. Marvel 116 times (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAPJfJz9l3E). At one point in the video (1:14), he mentions that he predicted the timeline for the movie to be June 13, 1995 (as per the night just before the Battle at Mar-Vell's Laboratory. He says that he was one to see that the night at the farm took place on a full moon, and says that with his research, he concluded the 13th to be the only night in Louisiana with a full moon in June of 1995.

Maybe this is concrete evidence. Perhaps not. I'm unfamiliar with what your guidelines are, since this group I take is the brains behind organizing the Timeline. I'm well aware that irregularities for the Timeline as a whole are bound to come up, but I figure that this small fact should be taken into account and utmost consideration.

...maybe this has already been covered above. I didn't bother to check (since again, you know, too many messages). Just thought I'd let you guys know and perhaps share your thoughts. I was going to bring this up next time I did a big reply, but you beat me to it!

Yes, someone brought this up on the discussions feature, and I agree. The film can take place anywhere in June 1995, it doesn't really make a difference - the anachronisms are all things from like August-October 1995, so it's not like being in late June rather than mid-June means you fit a certain thing that would otherwise be an anachronism. I was leaning towards late June just to get it as close as possible to working with the anachronisms, but there isn't that much difference and this gives us an actual date.

I didn't clock that it was a full moon in the film, so I appreciate this (assuming it's correct). Funnily enough, the same day of my second viewing of Captain Marvel, just hours later I was rewatching Iron Man (films 1 and 2 in the rewatch pre-Endgame) and clocked the moon in that film, thinking "That's a bit of evidence I should put in when I get around to my major timeline project" (in that case it makes no difference because there's so much evidence for Iron Man that this is too minor, but just that it was the first time I'd thought about that).

Good to have you back, Mister Explicit. I'll just attribute the appropriate dates to the 1995 timeline, should I?
