Captain Marvel Prequel Novel (Edward Zachary Sunrose)

S.H.I.E.L.D. (Mrmichaelt)

Yeah, well judging from how old Fitz and Simmons apparently were when they joined and from the ages of the students in Seeds and just the general impression, it seems to me that basically you go to S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy instead of university, so most people around 18-21 with some variation (Simmons started early at 17, obviously some people don't join straight out of high school, and I imagine like university some courses are longer than others).

Yeah, completely speculative on my part but I'm thinking Carter either retired after Howard and Maria were assassinated in December 1991 or maybe November 1991 when the Berlin Wall went down - kinda symbolic in their own ways. I wish explanations would be given for that sort of delete.

Carter would be 70 by then. While I'm sure she would want to keep going into her 70s, she might have delegated by then out of knowing that it might be more beneficial for the agency if a younger person took over, without retiring because I'm sure Peggy kept working for as long as she physically could. So I'm not sure that Howard and Peggy were still directors in 1991, but maybe. I can't remember if they're ever referenced as directors in the Ant-Man Prelude or Ant-Man prologue, I don't believe so but I might be wrong.

Kree-Skrull War (Mrmichaelt)
Mrmichaelt wrote: I think I found it. A Screenrant article mentions it February 28. There was the tie-in novel for Captain Marvel, Steve Behling's Starforce on the Rise that mentioned 'as part of their millennia-long war with the Skrulls, the Kree have developed Skrull detectors that allow them to identify Skrull impostors.' Great! Thank you.

Spider-Man: Far from Home Prelude (additional)
So the first issue of the prelude came out and as expected, it's just a Homecoming adaptation (I didn't for a second believe it was going to be anything else).

The way they deal with it is, frankly, how they should have dealt with it in the film itself. "Years ago... After the Battle of New York", then "Now". Simple.

However, they specify Ned and Peter working on the Chitauri stone as "the next day" after Liz's party. This isn't too much of an issue.

We know Liz's party is "Friday" (the 9th) and we know the team leave for D.C. on the 13th (Tuesday), the day before the decathlon on the "14th" (despite the film initially saying it'll be a weekend, the days of the week are all wrong in the film).

Peter says "See you tomorrow in school" to Ned at the end of Liz's party, which would mean they have school on a Saturday, weirdly. Didn't necessarily make the Chitauri stone scene the next day though. The scene made more sense as Monday, since Peter rushes to rejoin the decathlon team on Tuesday morning, very much implying it's only the day after they tracked Vulture to D.C., which was the evening after working on the stone, making the working on the stone events Monday. That also worked better because you also don't have to deal with there being a weird Saturday school, it allows you to say, "Well, maybe Peter forgot it's Friday and there isn't school tomorrow."

But I guess we have to take Peter at his word and assume they have school on Saturday, that the events with the stone in school and then tracking Vulture are Saturday, and Peter just doesn't get around to rejoining the team until Tuesday. Not the end of the world since the precedent is there in the film with Peter saying, "See you tomorrow in school," but a bit irritating. But the days of the week are so out-of-whack on Homecoming that there was never going to be a perfect answer.
