Hey it's me again. I just looked at the timeline again and sorry, I still don't see how the timeline works. I'll explain:

The pilot episode of Agents of SHIELD takes place after Iron Man 3 because of the use of Extremis. If AoS took place before IM3, then how would Extremis work in the story? SHIELD probably would have noticed that the Mandarin bombing sites had no signs of bomb shrapnel, so they would have been able to work out thyat Extremis might have something to do with it and track down Killian and sort him out before Tony got involved. And how would they have known about how unstable Extremis is in the first place if IM3 happened afterwoulds? Killian was letting Extremis out in the open, seeing as the government knew about it and he tried to get Pepper Potts on board, but he kept secret how unstable it is, so SHIELD probably had no idea either and even if SHIELD did manage to find out, then they would have stripped Killian of all his Extremis research. And there are plenty of other things to consider that is evidence that IM3 took place before AoS.

Next, in Thor: The Dark World, it is stated many times that The Avengers happened a year before while the first Thor happened two years ago. So you were right in saying Thor happened a year before The Avengers. And last weeks AoS happened almost immediately after TDW. So obviously, the first few episodes happened before the film and every episode from now on happens afterwoulds.

And this means that AoS happens after IM3, which is set December 2013, making AoS set in 2014, so TDW also happens in 2014. But seeing as the timeline says Avengers happened in 2011 and Thor, Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk happened in 2010, this doesnt make sense, as they repeatedly said in TDW that Thor was two years before, not four.

So can you please consider all my points and if I'm wrong, can you please give rational explanation for why I'm wrong please.

But if I am right, then that would mean that The Avengers took place in 2013 while IM2, TIH and Thor happened in 2012 and the first Iron Man is set in 2011.

And also, I can't find any evidence that says IM2 occured in 2010, so please tell me where it is, because I found nothing.

Thanks
