BEJT wrote: I saw someone on the discussions section mention that Fortnite is referenced. Yeah, while it really took off this year, the reference presumably works fine (I haven't got to it yet, must be in the last 4 episodes). I think I read it released July 2017? God forbid you have to abandon December 2017 and push season 1/2 back a few months, that's something to keep in mind, imo. But that aside, Alex comes off as the guy that gets a new game right away so he was probably playing it for the past 6 months.

And if they can get Infinity War down to 2:29, surely they can get Endgame down to 2:40ish. It can't be that much bigger in scope than Infinity War with half the characters dead for at least the majority of the film, I would think. Maybe I'm completely wrong. I think, maximum, it's 2:45.

I don't have a problem with a long run time, I could watch it for ages, I just don't think we'll be getting a film that long. Still, the 3 hours mentions is encouraging to me in a way because it means that this should hopefully be a very full and well-told story. True, economically theaters want movies to be a certain length so they can play a movie x amount of times in x amount of rooms each day.

BEJT wrote: Indeed! Obviously, this date is so blurry that it can easily be thrown out, so if Hale was involved with that "2 years" mention, then it can still be moved to January 2018. So I'll reserve judgement until I've rewatched Principia, but if it's not, then it sounds like 13th or 17th December is a helpful date to exactly place it. Yeah, it seems to be shaping to be a mid-December placement.

BEJT wrote: Wow, transcribing must take ages. You probably know about this site already and it's probably not what you're looking for, but just in case, I thought I'd mention that if you ever want to return to transcribing, there's the site Springfield Springfield which has transcriptions of every MCU film and every episode of every MCU TV show (they transcribe loads of films and shows). They're not particularly formatted, not like a script with character names, it's basically like a copy-and-paste of all the subtitles for each film/episode, just without the errors that some subtitles have. But it could be helpful for you in terms of saving time if you want to copy-and-paste the transcripts and then just go through and format it rather than writing it all out yourself. I find the site very helpful when I am looking for timeline quotes, I do a "find in page" for specific words I remember from the quotes. Something like 4-5 hours to transcribe 1 episode. I've heard of that site but I'm too impatient because they don't upload them on time sometimes. I tend to transcribe it the night of the episode airing because that's pretty much when I have the time to do it or it will pile up on the to-do list. I'm stubborn about doing it right away and by hand then I use different highlighter pens for different things (orange for timeline quotes/timestamps, yellow for exposition, etc.) then organize timeline things on paper then add them to the xls file (but usually I add it to xls the next day). So yeah, late nights and 'borderline' OCD. Movies when I used to do them, a few hours a day and it usually took 3 days total. And obviously I loved it when the official screenplays get posted online like Guardians Vol. 2 and Ragnarok during awards season. That screenplay book of the first Cap was cool, too. Wish they released that more often.
