Just got out of the film half an hour ago. Had a blast, nothing revolutionary story-wise, but had a really fun time.

And yeah, it's June 1995. Despite the train line opening in August, but oh well, not a big deal.

What's this about Mallrats? I haven't caught up on the chat (been avoiding in case of spoilers) yet, I'll scroll up and read and respond later but I didn't catch a Mallrats reference.

It's not explicitly stated that Fury and Coulson just met, luckily. There's a scene where Fury refers to Coulson as "the new guy" but we can just take it that he's just been promoted or something, and he also says something implying they're just getting to know each other but there's easily wiggle room in there.

Fury's date of birth is shown to be 1950 but I didn't catch the full date. There's a few dates on files and ID cards that I didn't really catch, I think Fury's ID maybe also said that it was issued in 1985. And he's been working a desk job for 6 years, and yeah, despite what Jude Law said, all the stuff in Carol's past was 6 years ago in 1989.

The timeline seemed fairly sound to me all in all. Although I'd have to check that all the pop culture references line up. During Stan's cameo, he is reading his script from Mallrats and apparently is playing himself. Since the movie came out in October of 95 we can assume that he was working on his cameo around June. The actual filming dates of Mallrats may not agree with this but given in that movie he mentions Marvel, Spider-Man, Hulk, etc. we can assume the Mallrats of the MCU is slightly different.
