Pfft, there's going to be idiots, always. But I think most people will just accept it, because it means they can stop having headaches about the timeline. Besides, not exactly sure how they're thinking Age of Ultron is 6 years before Infinity War... I'm just gonna stop even trying with these people.

"It's you who doesn't understand that Thanos has been inside my head for 6 years, since he sent an army to New York... and now he's back!"

Doesn't get too much clearer than that.

I saw about the Black Widow rumour - it's interesting. The Winter Soldier thing is interesting too, because it seems from Captain America: The Winter Soldier that Natasha only encountered Bucky the one time - in 2009. If the characters are set to meet in the film, it would presumably be us actually being shown the Odessa incident in 2009, a bit over 15 years after the fall of the Soviet Union.

Also, guys, I created a Twitter account, just as BEJT and to reply to MCU stuff, timeline or otherwise. I responded to someone on Mark Kolpack's Twitter replies, trying to work out the timeline. He really appreciated it and retweeted me, and then Mark retweeted me himself!

I did some calculating to adjust Ragnarok and Infinity War. It's not perfect, because the whole non-contradictory values thing is still having the kinks worked out - I haven't got it as down-pat as the contradictory stuff I've been working out for like a year now. But the September and May placements are better than before, and will do for now.

I also did some calculating for the Gamora flashbacks, and got August 1995, which makes sense as 19 years, "almost 20 years" before August 2014. Gamora's date of birth came out as June 1984.

Finally, my absence (mostly) is coming up. May 1st-June 25th inclusive. I'll be popping in, most likely a little bit in early May, a little bit in late May/early June, and a little bit on Fridays/Saturdays - just every now and then to talk and keep up with things, but I have to discipline myself that despite wanting to do a bunch of timeline work and checking and writing up events of all the things we're behind on, exams and study are really, really important. I might do a little bit of editing but it will mostly only be the occasional conversation. I'm sorry I couldn't get up-to-date on all the write-ups in time for my exams/absence, but I can't let that bug me during this time. I cannot deal with the extra stress, and I have to focus. It came down to the importance of getting the "8 years later" blog done before Infinity War, just in case the "official timeline" came out. I couldn't take the risk of just letting that go, and had to get it sent off for peace of mind over "8 years later" in case the official timeline came out and I had done nothing. And, of course, as it turned out, Infinity War rejected it and as of yet we have no official timeline (still a bit worried it could be in one of the art books about to come out, but if it is, I'm less worried about it sticking by "8 years later" now). But I couldn't take the risk. And so keeping up took second priority, and now it's too late for me to edit much in the next 2 months. But, a promise I know for certain I can make you all - I have a huge amount of free time from June 26th to September/October, so once we get to late June, catch-up will happen rapidly.

Also I'll be watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Cloak & Dagger because they come out U.K. Saturdays and Fridays respectively, I can afford those 45 minutes weekly, but I won't be able to start Luke Cage: Season 2 until Tuesday 26th June. Sorry about that.
