I put them low on the list because I thought we should wait for more AoS before deciding, but never mind :(

Marvelous and Mister Explicit: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 picks up "2 months after the first". Black Panther picks up "after Civil War". Thor: Ragnarok "picks up form Age of Ultron". But the timelines have to sync up at some point (if they don't, we'll have to do a lot of stretching and moving). So what I was doing was putting the potential "end" dates half way between a date around two weeks after the start date, and the release date, hoping for a time jump or a long span of time to catch up some time before Infinity War. I then put the "middle" dates about a third of the way between the start and end - being more likely to have a time jump than a long span. Look, a lot of those dates are not likely, I was just trying to put the Phase Three films in an order with a general idea for hopeful dates.

And the Spider-Man dates? I actually jumped to the conclusion of it being 2016 when they released that photo and Shabook and Marvelous pointed out my mistake. And if you actually look at it, there are examples of Marvel having weird dates that don't match with the real world. "Friday 17th December 1991" in Iron Man - 17th was a Tuesday. "Sunday 22nd March 2016" - 22nd was a Tuesday. There's no pattern to it like "Dates which are Wednesdays in the real world are Fridays in the MCU" so we just assume dates are the same in both worlds the rest of the time, but that doesn't mean that when the date doesn't line up with the real world we change the year. The prop is likely to not eve show up in the film, but the "Stark Expo 18" is likely to be blatant in the film, and the 18 is very strongly prominent so it's not a prop we can ignore really. I think, therefore, that it is much more likely for it to be the 17-18 school year, especially with the sequels supposedly being set in consecutive years.
