Here is my theory...https://satireandentertainment.wordpress.com/2017/07/31/mcu-timeline-solved/ That is one of the many articles which think they have solved the MCU timeline when they absolutely haven't, they are looking at very minimal evidence.

The only changes to the timeline pages that should probably be made are this and this, because The Avengers is absolutely, definitely, undeniably in 2012 (see here for a start, one of many pieces of evidence), and Civil War is absolutely, definitely, undeniably in 2016 (In Wake Up Mack says it's been 11 years since Hope died, it would be her birthday tomorrow, and Deals with Our Devils gives her birthday as April 2006 - Season 4 is April 2017, and it's been "6 months" + "a few months" since Civil War, plus they say the events surrounding Civil War were "last year", and in Season 3 they say they teamed up with Ward "last year" which was before the 4,722 hours, in which Simmons says it is "2015", putting this in 2016, and it's within "3 months" (shown on-screen) of Civil War, WHiH puts it in 2016, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s timeline cannot possibly be stretched further, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. shows clearly that Peggy was born in April 1921 and died aged 95 - to list but a few of the pieces of evidence).

I'm absolutely not blaming you for this, or the writers of the articles particularly, as it was inevitably going to happen with this ridiculous "8 years later" that doesn't fit anything, but I'm sick of these articles who think they've fixed the timeline based on minimal - and no TV - evidence. It's upsetting to see years of timeline work ignored and thrown out of the window for articles with wider influence which have had a lot less work and research put into them.

I've been preparing a blog listing the many, many reasons why it should be 4 years, 2012 to 2016, that's taken me longer than expected, but if you're interested, I'll link it here when it's done in the next few days.
