I am neither confirming nor denying that I might have found a way to watch Thor where I could pause and rewind etc. I only skimmed through it, uncomfortable/guilty with watching it through all the way in such a manner, so I watched it at 2x speed on mute and made notes on the order of events, and when I remembered there was a potential timeline nugget, I let it play with sound. Most of it was in English, but the opening with the line I seem to remember as "half a million years ago" was in another language, so I'll look out for that next time I properly watch the film. But a few things I noticed that are worth noting: I'll rearrange my notes on the post above and I'll edit your user page with the better notes. - Technically, Valkyrie would have aged much faster if she was on Sakaar, since time goes faster there. Valkyrie is also sensibly older than Loki and Thor, since she doesn't seem to care much about the two princes, meaning that they must have been very young when she was defeated by Hela.
 * Hela does not say that she and Odin founded Asgard, but its empire. "We were unstoppable. I was his weapon in the conquest that built Asgard's empire. One by one the realms became ours. But then, simply because my ambition outgrew his, he banished me, caged me, locked me away like an animal." This is fine, then, and not inconsistent with The Dark World, where they are still fighting in other realms 5000 years ago. Afterwards, with Hela, they conquered the other realms.
 * Hela and Valkyrie looked roughly the same during Hela's banishment. Valkyrie could have aged slowly even for an Asgardian due to being on Sakaar, but for Hela, it can't have been more than about 15 human years, absolute maximum 20, so considering Asgardian lifespans, around 1500 years, maximum 2000.
 * They even got right in the mural that Odin had both his eyes, placing it, as could be very much assumed considering Thor and Loki not knowing about Hela, before 965 A.D.
 * Heimdall does not have a line about it being days, at least I could not find one. I'm thinking that I just remembered his dialogue as implying it's been days.
 * On rewatch, I think the film only lasts about 5 days. There is, of course, Thor's line about "I lost my hammer, like, yesterday" which I somehow forgot.
 * 2 years is mentioned three times, unless I missed a fourth. Again, I'll look out for it fully the next time I properly see the film. "Sokovia, Ultron, that was 2 years ago." "I've been Hulk for 2 years?" "I'm afraid so." "Trapped for 2 years inside of a monster."

- One inconsistency is that they show a fairly aged Odin, with white hair and all, but also with both eyes, while Odin in Thor seems much younger before he lost his eyes in the battle of Jotunheim. I don't think there's a linear correlation between time outside of Sakaar and on it, as after Thor arrives, it pretty much is in sync with Asgard, but of course 30 seconds between Loki falling and Thor falling is weeks on Sakaar. The Grandmaster doesn't say it runs slower or faster, I think he just says it runs "funny" or something. You're right about time running faster with the Loki thing, but the Grandmaster does have a line where he says that while he'd be millions of years old elsewhere, he's much younger for living on Sakaar, so I'd imagine it would be about the same for Valkyrie.

Also, I just got the new issue of Empire, and it has a Punisher review. Under the plot section, it says, "Plot: Frank Castle (Bernthal) thinks he's done being the Punisher. But six months later, he's drawn back into a life of gun-toting vigilantism by a self-ghosted hacker and a Homeland Security agent, both determined to expose a CIA conspiracy in which Frank was possibly involved."

They say they have seen all the episodes, so it sounds like there's lines about it being six months presumably since Christmas when he burned his house down, so around mid-2016. This also supports The Defenders being May, not November, and therefore Iron Fist being February, not July or whatever.
