Yeah, I'd be much more comfortable with Infinity War being later. But there's no easy way to push Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. later. When it comes to the TV shows, this is what I said: BEJT wrote: I think our policy for the next year should be to not try to bend everything around Infinity War. We just don't know how Avengers 4 is going to go. This goes either way. So, for example, the fact that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently presenting a January 2018 date, but also had an Infinity War hint in its last episode, shouldn't mean we have to bend over backwards to make it go a bit later and Infinity War go a bit earlier. Because who knows, if Avengers 4 in any way in which everyone at least still remembers the deaths of half the universe, then we know the New York reference can't actually work. If Avengers 4 resets everything and no one even knows anything ever happened, then the New York reference can click, with the finger-snap happening during Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and then everything being reversed and the agents are none-the-wiser. We just don't know. Same for the other way around - if Runaways or Cloak & Dagger or a Netflix show presents itself as being set later than Spring 2018, then so be it. No point creating lots of timeline errors in trying to place it before Infinity War, only to have Avengers 4 reset things so it's perfectly fine taking place after. We just don't know, and I feel like the policy should basically be that with the TV stuff, we kind of ignore Infinity War ' s existence/ending until Avengers 4 is out and we know what happens, unless of course, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. does a direct tie-in. Now, obviously, it turns out Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is doing a crossover which I'm shocked by, no idea how that's going to work with the ending of the film and how Avengers 4 will play out. But for now at least, January 2018 it is. If we need to push it later, we can start to stretch the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. gaps.

But if Runaways is very clearly, say, February 2018, then so be it. We just don't know what will happen in Avengers 4, and if time is reversed for example then February 2018 would have been right all along. I don't see much point trying to squeeze everything in before Infinity War only to put it in its comfortable position afterwards. We just take everything on a case-by-case basis.

I'll be editing quite a bit today to put things correct. Hopefully that'll be it for major edits for me until I can properly return in late June.
