Black Widow (Mrmichaelt)
Thanks, interesting. I'm also interested which year Black Widow takes place in, because it seems like it should be fairly shortly after Civil War, but a 2017 BMW was spotted on set. Could very well just be a mistake though. It is irksome because there's no way Natasha defected when she was 12 years old. I'm guessing she was 12 the last time she saw Red Guardian and Melina. I hope. Because there's stuff like the first Black Widow tie-in comic from the Avengers 1 Prelude that says she was a Black Widow into her 20s or whatever.

Still definitely worth noting, however. Thank you. Yeah, it's food for thought. But for me, it's like when there's promo events like that – the data is canon until it's contradicted in a movie/TV show/tie in comic. Like Peggy's 1921 birthdate that showed up in Agent Carter/AOS. We're talking about a canon that keeps saying Steve was frozen for 70 years when it was more like 67.

BEJT wrote: Just a tiny thing, apparently Victor Stein's simulation is supposed to be the 1950s. That doesn't seem quite right, since it's supposed to be a happy memory of his, the day before his father left, but Victor presumably wasn't born until the early 1960s. Maybe he was born around early 1957, a few years older than James Marsters, and this is late 1959 just as he might maybe be able to retain a memory, but I doubt it because he has a teenage son and because he was at college in 1992. I think we just take it as a slight mistake, or the simulation being tweaked a little bit to be more idyllic, so the year being slightly wrong. A mistake on Runaways? Nah. :P

There was also a comment about how they're aware of the Avengers, which to me says that the film will have to catch up to modern day by the end of it. That would then mean that the film likely spans about 5000 B.C. to the 2020s. Probably, since there's a Babylon set allegedly.
