Write-Ups/Runaways: Season 2 (Marvelus)
Marvelus wrote: @BEJT;

of course, bro, I will try to as helpful as I can. I don't know if I am going to be able to write Jessica Jones S2 entirely, but I will give it a try, I haven't watched the season long ago and most of the time I write the events with all of my memory, not rewatching.

But for Runaways S2, which I am loving it, it is really good, I am watching the show, watche one scene, when it cuts to another, I make a pause and start writing. Is fun, I am enjoying the TV shows by watching it this way because I know the characters and I feel involved with them, all the contrary to Cloak & Dagger, characters that I do not understand and care at all, YET. That is why I will rewatch it and enjoy, I have a crush on Olivia Holt and the actress who plays O'Reilly and that is enouugh for me to watch the season again.

I am willing to write the first halfs of the Netflix last season (forever :p) on our articles.

Also, I was thinking, the best way to move more quickly with this writing-ups (of course I will help you man, I have to, and I like it, tho I haven't done this in a while) is to focus on the shows which dates are decided and set in stone. And leave the ones that are not for later. So, focus on the first half of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 5, all Netflix TV Shows, Cloak & Dagger, Runaways and the Instagram posts and other stuff that BEJT have in mind, and of course, the comic preludes.

And leave behind, until Spider-Man: Far From Home is released, agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 5, Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp and the rest until we get all the evidence. In that way we will have everything done and it will be quickly to finish AoS5, AIW, AMatW, AE and SMFFH. Don't you think?

Plus, if anyone else is willing to give us a hand in the writing ups, I will not complain xD. I actually preferred Cloak & Dagger to Runaways I think, though I felt it ended really flat in the finale.

It's a reasonable idea to focus on the more set-in-stone ones, and if you want to do that that would be cool, but I don't know that I can do that. If you do that while I just work through chronologically, and I just reorganise some of my checking to make sure your work makes its way onto the actual pages reasonably soon and isn't just sitting waiting for me to get to it, then we will have a mix of chronological and prioritising, which would be good. But personally, I just have to stick to my system, it helps me keep track of how far behind I am and gives me a simple order. Plus, I don't know that prioritising based on how set-in-stone they are is particularly important. It's more just about getting the content onto the pages, rather than going "Well, you know this is a year old and still waiting to go up but had to prioritise this newer thing just because it's got a bit more evidence." I don't really know how to word this, other than I don't think there's that much importance for prioritising based on how firm they are. But if you're doing some of that, that's enough in terms of adjusting the list for that prioritising system. I just can't really change my system personally.

Marvelus wrote: So seeing Runaways S2, I have finished writting the 12 episodes, I have yet to see 13, but I have seen a few ways where the time jump can be inserted, and there are like 3, but just days. Thank you. I've only done my notes up to Episode 11, but there aren't really many gaps. There is a slight problem because Victor says it is Wednesday on a day that is fairly firmly 8 days after Gert said it was Thursday. I'll quote what I said in my notes: BEJT wrote: It's "2 o'clock on a Wednesday". This is problematic because it's seemingly been 8 days (and definitely at least 7) since Gert says it was Thursday, and while there's a few potential gaps in between then and now, they're all 75 or more per cent eliminated. So we have a decision to make, either slip in gaps to add an extra 5 days, which is quite a stretch, or we assume that this is actually Wednesday and not Friday, so when Gert said it was Thursday, it was actually Tuesday - there's some slight wiggle room there because they were joking around a bit. Either way, we're basically going to have to use some slight wiggle room. I've put the two options in the square brackets for each day: first option is adding 5 days, second option is assuming Gert is joking and it is actually Tuesday. I've also gone back to some previous notes and put "Edit: xyz" if this affects those.

Principia (Marvelus, DaenerysTheMadKhal58, Mrmichaelt)
Marvelus wrote: @DaenerysTheMadKhal58, thank you very much for your contribution, really, thank you, nice to see more people here. DaenerysTheMadKhal58 wrote: Why do you prefer 2018? I think the "tidings of confort and joy" line works better if it's still December. Agreed. It could work in January, but December does work better. But the Principia placement will all come down to whether Hale has anything to do with the Cybertek stuff, when I get to rewatching. Either we use the monitor date or we push it slightly to early January.

Marvelus wrote: Hmm, I don't like because there is already a big stretch to work out from that. The line could be said on January 2018 as well. Just trying to prevent a future mess, but like I say. Lets put all of that ON HOLD and focus on the dates that are already established.

About your photoshop, I see a 17 date. It could be, but if the evidence points to December 2017, it's not really worth it for a few weeks. I know I've said it several times now, but I will be rewatching Principia in the next couple of days.

And OK cool. I see 17 too so I guess we would go with December 17, 2017 if it isn't 2018.

PRIDE Don't Know About Aliens (DaenerysTheMadKhal58, Marvelus, Mrmichaelt)
DaenerysTheMadKhal58 wrote: Yeah, that was a really weird moment. They were like "there really is life out there". I think the writers forgot that "aliens exist" is common knowledge in the MCU. It was that line specifically that I found weird, yeah.

Marvelus wrote: About PRIDE being that surprised that there are aliens, remind that the Gibborim are different to the Chitauri. Maybe, like in the real world, some people is still skeptical even if they have proofs on their faces.

Like I said, the Chitauri died when the Mother Control (I don't know how is that called xD) was destroyed so scientific people might believe they were like robots kind with biological technology. Who knows xD. A really weird line still, but they are in the same universe. In AKA Sole Survivor (and I'm sure there's other examples), Vido specifically says they fought aliens, so I don't think people think they're robots. And I don't think anyone in PRIDE other than Frank (if he even counts as PRIDE) seems like the conspiracy theorist type so I don't think they would believe that those weren't aliens. But there's something to be said for your theory about scepticism. Them just being excited to see it with their own eyes and know for absolute certain I guess works.

Wasn't suggesting it was a different universe (though I'm sure some people out there are going "See! They're not canon!" despite the other explicit tie-ins to the MCU...), just that yeah, it's a weird line.

Mrmichaelt wrote: I didn't dwell much, I think I was must have mentally wrote it off as them just being surprised they were working for an alien all along. And well, not like California had to deal with alien invasions like New York, so they well removed from events aside from the Ant-Man stuff and what not. Or in between invasions, people get a little jaded about aliens. xD True, they haven't had to deal with many major incidents on the West Coast, but obviously they'd be aware of the Battle of New York. But yeah, I think they're just excited as people of science to see aliens up close.

Marvelus wrote: In episode 13, Leslie Dean says that they have not good experience with aliens on Earth, even though she is referring to Jonah is like a nod also to the Chitauri Invasion, the Inhumans situation and of course the Gibborim. She says "around here" so I took it to mean just their experiences, but it could be I guess.

Zealot Eyes (Marvelus, Mrmichaelt)
Marvelus wrote: And loved the Dark Dimenssion connections. Mrmichaelt wrote: Tina's lines at the end about 'seeing those eyes before' and admitting she left out some details about the staff. More connecting to the MCU/Doctor Strange, suggesting that she was indeed the Tina at the Hong Kong Sanctum and fought Kaecilius and his zealots. Ah OK, yes. I'll be interested where they take that in Season 3, assuming Season 3 happens. Not sure if they'll go all the way to coming up with a convoluted explanation about her being the same Tina, but it'll be fun to have more Doctor Strange tie-in nonetheless.

I'm glad the staff is magic and not just science like they sort of said in Season 1, though. There's no way science is capable of doing the things that staff did in Season 2, and it's just more fun.

The Punisher: Season 2 (Mrmichaelt)
Mrmichaelt wrote: From the Punisher S2 set visit, "Characters in The Punisher will not be discussing The Snap from Avengers: Infinity War." So reading between the lines, before the Snap (but that's moot). Thanks. I feel like people shouldn't need telling at this point that the Snap isn't happening on any TV at least pre-April 2019, but I guess it was worth them mentioning. I wouldn't take that as an actual timeline confirmation that it's set before Infinity War because that's not what they say, but obviously we have the blanket confirmation from Loeb anyway. This should be one of the last pieces of MCU television before Endgame, though it's possible that Cloak & Dagger, which starts in "spring", could start before Endgame.

Canon Books (additional)
I've started to purchase those new original story canon books - Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War: The Heroes' Journey, Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War: The Cosmic Quest Volume One: Beginning, Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp: The Heroes' Journey, and Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War: The Cosmic Quest Volume Two: Aftermath. Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp: The Heroes' Journey has already arrived and the others I think are coming soon. So I'll have a read of those soon and let you guys know what I find, but just from having a very quick skim through Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp: The Heroes' Journey, it seems to be set in the days leading into Ant-Man and the Wasp - the last couple of chapters seem to be the beginning of that film.

New Rockstars Timeline (additional)
New Rockstars have posted an updated timeline, and again, they have used our timeline. Like last year, they have made a few mistakes, but overall, it's pretty good. I think it's a shame that at the end, Erik jokes about it like it was all their work, when it's very clear that they have pretty much copied from the wiki, with perhaps just some research of their own to check things make sense. But still, I'm glad a top YouTube channel is still posting a correct (following our work) MCU timeline.
