Daredevil: Season 3 (Marvelous 345678)
Marvelous 345678 wrote: Months?! Okay. I quit. There's wiggle room. He's talking about how he's been morally questioning himself for the last couple of months, he doesn't explicitly say "I've been gone for the last couple months". If we assume that his rumination has intensified just in the last couple of months, or when he says it's been a "rough couple months" he's got a bit of dry sarcasm going on, like someone who's been tortured for a year returning to their friend and saying, "Well, er, yanno. Rough couple months..."

The other thing is the feel of the show. The show does play it like it's only been a couple of months. It's really weird, it's treating it like The Punisher, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage haven't happened. It picks up with Karen and Foggy like this is the first time we've seen them since The Defenders, except it's not... but they're really unclear about where their appearances in those shows slip in. And there's no clear time jump moment. I thought short of a clearly denoted one, there would be a montage of Matt building himself back up for an undefined number of months, or a fade to black and a fade back in with the stuff that's present day, or something telling the audience "and now the show has caught up with everything that's happened since". But there isn't. It's acting like none of those shows exist and that this is the first one to release since The Defenders in August 2017. And it just gives a general feel across Episode 1 of, "Oh, right, a couple of months have passed from start to finish," and then the show just continues from there.

But there's leniency. Sort of. The first episode could have quite a bit more time passing. It's just ridiculous that these shows exist in their own bubble so much.

Ray's lines in Episode 1 about what he'll do with his son come summer/in June, and the fact that there's a lot of snow shown to have fallen recently in Episode 4, mean that whatever this season is doing, we at least know it's either before April or after October (it's not May, June, July, August, or September).

As for the DA stuff, OK, thanks. So is Blake Tower in the position that Vance is in in the real world?

Craig on The Comic Board (Mrmichaelt)
Mrmichaelt wrote: How nice of Craig. Yes, it was a pity that forum died but it couldn't deal with constant barrage of spambots at the time. Luckily I was able to recover some important quotes from that forum using the Wayback Machine. Next time you go to TCB, could you please ask him if he's on GB Fans or IDW's Ghostheads United facebook page? I'll pass that on.

Venom (Mrmichaelt)
Mrmichaelt wrote: I heard that email date and Eddie's reaction to the existence of aliens prevents it from being merged into the MCU since the public on Earth knew since 2012 pretty much. Right. Yeah, really hoping it stays away. I'm sure so long as Marvel have any say in it, it will be kept well away. It's just a bit fuzzy on whether Sony could choose to put Tom Holland in their own film without actually asking Marvel's permission (though Feige could then say "But that doesn't make it MCU. It's just another universe where Spider-Man also looks like Tom Holland").

When Did Jane Dump Thor? (Mrmichaelt)
Mrmichaelt wrote: I've been wondering about something. When do you think he got dumped by Jane? I've been considering the possibility he returned to Earth at least once after Age of Ultron but well before Civil War and that's when Jane ended it. Like November 2015. It was clear they were still daring during Age of Ultron unless the break up happened right before he left Earth in the epilogue. We decided last year, when Ragnarok came out, that it was in the few weeks between the Battle of Sokovia and the end of Age of Ultron. Maybe Thor told her he was leaving for a while and she decided she couldn't keep dealing with his disappearances for indefinite amounts of time, and broke it off.
