It's not particularly any more flawed than any other theory. I don't think it can work though, as in the beginning of Iron Man it is shown that Tony was on the front cover of a "Jan 2008" magazine cover, reasonably clearly. There's also a "May 4, 2008" date on-screen which is ignored mostly on the Wiki because of overriding evidence, but hey. Plus, the MCU timeline (which isn't as important as the on-screen dates admittedly) puts "I am Iron Man" in roughly late 2009 (March 1942 + 67 years, June 1943 + 67 years, March 1945 + 64 years). Jon Watts said Peter was 8 at "I am Iron Man" which would put it c. 2009. The Rescue in Bahrain is before Iron Man, as the Avenger Initiative is only just starting, and that's "7 years ago" before 2015, 2008. The MCU timeline says it's 5 years after Bruce got his powers, which is given in a comic as April 16, 2005.

There's a lot of stuff putting Fury's Big Week in 2010, such as the "Stark Expo 2010" campaign, Emil Blonsky's age ("39" and born in March 1971), Tony's S.H.I.E.L.D. file saying he was CEO until 2010, it being "5 years" since Bruce got his powers, which is given in a comic as April 16, 2005.

I don't know, that's just the beginning of it, it's all a bit rubbish to be honest.

Homecoming seems to run roughly on a timeline of: Except that doesn't line up with any other evidence particularly, and certainly not Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. at all, nor the Netflix shows, nor WHiH, nor any tie-in material like the MCU timeline, or statements from people involved, anything. It's a real pain. I will get round to listing it all in the coming weeks. In the meantime, I've got to finish the Phase One evidence blog
