Principia (Mrmichaelt, Marvelus)
Mrmichaelt wrote: Yeah, it seems to be shaping to be a mid-December placement. Once I've rewatched Runaways: Season 2, Episodes 10-13, I'll rewatch Principia. Would appreciate another voice though, do people see 13 or 17 in DaenerysTheMadKhal58's Photoshop? Would help us decide which date to go with, if it is going to be used.

Marvelus wrote: After watching Runaways S2 E7 I have noticed that S.H.I.E.L.D. must have returned after the events of that episode.

Principia throws up that we are in 2018 after Hale's leadership iver HYDRA with that two years ago line. I think we should put agents return on January, after the intent of launching from Jonah's ship. I know that out-of-universe, it doesn't matter. But in-universe, don't you think that would catch S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention? After all, they were trying to find anomalies in order to prevent the end of the world. The ship is not public news. All anyone outside of PRIDE and the Runaways knows is that there was an earthquake. The dig site was sealed off and very secretive. And the whole "Why don't S.H.I.E.L.D. get involved?" thing is thrown out as not a big deal for times when S.H.I.E.L.D. are fully capable and available, so in a time when S.H.I.E.L.D. are in hiding and unable to safely leave a bunker, it really isn't a problem. A private and secret brief event that only a dozen people know about, happening on the other side of the country, while S.H.I.E.L.D. are trapped, isn't a problem. No need to change either show's dates based on each other.

Mrmichaelt wrote: As for Principia in relation to Runaways S2, I don't think Team Coulson's return to the present doesn't necessarily have to be moved from December to January. Principia ends on January 4th then a 2 month skip to March with The Devil Complex. So most of Runaways S2, including the raising of the ship, can just be during this time skip? Well that's the other thing, even if it did somehow get on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar and they reacted in some way (a combination of two very unlikely things, meaning an overall very very very unlikely event), it can just happen in the time gap. Why didn't S.H.I.E.L.D. get involved in Missouri in October 2014? They might have, but the next time we see the group is 3 months later, in January 2015, when it's way in their past. It's exactly the same here in that when we see them in The Devil Complex, it would be 3 months in their past anyway. And Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is set at a time where it's actually likely that S.H.I.E.L.D. would know and be able to get involved.

Marvelus wrote: I really don't like the idea of having a part of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on December 2017, that is why there is a part of my reasoning xD I gathered😂, I'm not really sure why honestly.

Transcriptions (Mrmichaelt)
Mrmichaelt wrote: Something like 4-5 hours to transcribe 1 episode. I've heard of that site but I'm too impatient because they don't upload them on time sometimes. I tend to transcribe it the night of the episode airing because that's pretty much when I have the time to do it or it will pile up on the to-do list. I'm stubborn about doing it right away and by hand then I use different highlighter pens for different things (orange for timeline quotes/timestamps, yellow for exposition, etc.) then organize timeline things on paper then add them to the xls file (but usually I add it to xls the next day). So yeah, late nights and 'borderline' OCD. Movies when I used to do them, a few hours a day and it usually took 3 days total. And obviously I loved it when the official screenplays get posted online like Guardians Vol. 2 and Ragnarok during awards season. That screenplay book of the first Cap was cool, too. Wish they released that more often. Sounds long, wow. I think Springfield Springfield do upload pretty fast, at least these days - within a day or two, if you're ever willing to wait just a bit. I know the feeling with overworking due to borderline OCD though.

Runaways: Season 2 (Marvelus, Mrmichaelt)
Marvelus wrote: Merry Christmas guys, sorry for the delay. Finally watching Season 2, love it, I am also writing the episodes so as to give BEJT more help. Thank you, dude. It's really helpful to have someone else writing up as well. Hope you can enjoy it as well as doing the write-ups.

I didn't love Season 2 personally, liked it about as much as Season 1, which is to say I thought it was decent with some highlights but overall not great. But I'm glad you're loving it.

Marvelus wrote: I never thought a show set in the MCU would pick up immediatelly after the previous season, I mean I know some shows have done it like The Vampire Diaries or The Originals, but I have never seen a superhero show do it, and I like that because it gives more leniency for timeline intel and it gives more room to Cloak & Dagger to catch up. Hadn't thought about there being no MCU shows without season gaps. Well, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Season 5 picks up immediately after Season 4 but that's a bit more complicated. But yeah, first proper immediate follow-up I guess.

I wouldn't say it gives more leniency, it makes things more specific and potentially trickier in the future, but it was reasonably OK this time. And I agree, it does mean Cloak & Dagger can catch up. If Cloak & Dagger: Season 2 is set about real time after Season 1 (about 9 or 10 months) then it will be catching up with Runaways. I wonder if, by Runaways: Season 3 (if it happens), we might maybe get a crossover between the two.

Marvelus wrote: Wrote Runaways Season 2 up to episode 7. I will finish the season and write all the episodes. Then, I will proceed to write Jessica Jones Season 2 and watch some episodes from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 5 to write those too. After that, I will finally watch Cloak & Dagger as a fan. And maybe try to write Daredevil Season 3 events.

Hope you had a good Christmas ;) Thank you for being so willing to write up. You don't have to take it on yourself to do it all or anything, like I've said, I'm just going to work through the list and if I come across something that hasn't been written, I'll write it, and if I come across something that has been written, I'll check it. But thank you for anything you do write, any contribution is really helpful.

Mrmichaelt wrote: Finished watching Runaways S2. 4 weeks? I guess that works as long as that's a longer amount of time than S1 since Schwartz said as much. Don't want to spoil anything but glad some "MCU continuity fixing" came up in the season finale. That ending... hope there's a season 3... but pretty odd reveals of the alien races in play and only 2 things really annoyed me this time around but all in all, pretty strong season. It's about 4 weeks (still haven't worked out the exact dates of the last 4 episodes), yeah, although actually, unlike what they said, the main events are quite packed together without gaps. But still, overall, it is longer than Season 1 in terms of from start to finish.

Not actually sure what you're referring to with continuity fixing.

Roxxon (Mrmichaelt, Edward Zachary Sunrose)
Mrmichaelt wrote: Ha ha, I skimmed right past these posts since I've only seen up to episode 8 but I dug the sort-of-nod to Cloak and Dagger with the Roxxon Energy banner at the hotel. Another great season so far. You've finished the season now so I guess it's not really relevant, but I've kept the notes spoiler free. The only spoilery messages should be DaenerysTheMadKhal58's one, with a spoiler indication, and my one that also has a spoiler indication.

Roxxon, as Edward Zachary Sunrose mentions, have appeared across the MCU, but I do wonder if this was specifically intended as a Cloak & Dagger nod.

Edward Zachary Sunrose wrote: Well, Roxxon has also shown up in the Iron Man trilogy, both seasons of Agent Carter and the 4th season of AoS and the 2nd season of Daredevil, so I'd call it less of a Cloak and Dagger reference, and more of an overall MCU reference. Yeah, they're a big organisation in the universe, though with their big prominence in Cloak & Dagger and rumblings about a potential Runaways/Cloak & Dagger crossover at some point in the future, I do wonder if it was specifically meant as a Cloak & Dagger nod more than anything else.

Did really enjoy the other wider MCU references though: the Wakanda line, while a bit forced, was fun, and I loved Nico's Zealot eyes. Though I did think it was a bit weird that in Episode 8 I think it was, PRIDE discuss what a massive scientific breakthrough it was to learn about aliens' existence. The Battle of New York was less than 6 years ago, guys, and a pretty big deal.

Mrmichaelt wrote: My mistake. I thought the Roxxon Energy part of the Roxxon company was more exclusive to appearing in C&D and it was mainly 'Roxxon' appearing here and there in the MCU. EDIT: Yeah, I mistook Roxxon Energy for Roxxon Gulf in my head. My bad. I didn't really know about the differentiation between Energy and Gulf, in my head it's all just, "Oh, there's Roxxon again."
