Oh HERE'S where I'm supposed to post this. Ok, once more here we go. SPOILERS.

In Ant-Man and the Wasp, it is revealed that Scott Lang was placed on house arrest for two years. Since this was a deal with the United States government, and because of how things are presented in the movie, I feel it is safe to assume that this is an exact measurement.

Unfortunately, this messes up Infinity War 's placement, currently from January 10-11 2018.

According to the 2016 page, Scott is dropped off at home after Civil War on June 27. The earliest Scott's house arrest could have started would also be June 27 2016. This would mean that, at the earliest, Ant-Man and the Wasp ends June 27 2018. Infinity War takes place either during or after Ant-Man and the Wasp, meaning the date of Thanos' "snap" at the earliest has to be June 27 2018, assuming the mid-credits scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp takes place the same day as the last events in the rest of the film.

Yet, this is impossible, because the 2018 page also states that Infinity War can take place no later than June 26 2018, due to the upcoming Spider-Man: Far From Home. This is literally a one day difference so hopefully someone can help figure out the math to fix this, but the point is I believe Infinity War has to take place in late June 2018 rather than in January.

Now I'm aware the Infinity War date is set for January because Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. set an actual date in a Season 5 episode, but I assume that could be stretched out. After all, the 2018 page says in the second footnote "While it is presented as merely days since The Real Deal, it has to at least be 4 weeks since Yo-Yo's arms were cut off and surgery was performed on her." If a month gap like that can be created when it seems to have only been a few days, could this not theoretically be applied to the rest of the season? I watched each of the episodes once when they were released, so I may have to re-watch them on Netflx or something, but what if it's not the gap between Principia and The Devil Complex that must be stretched, but the gap between The Devil Complex and an/some as-of-now indeterminate point(s) in the last 8 episodes?

As to what Marvelous 345678 said in the 2018 talk page, Coulson is slowly dying throughout the last Season 5 episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. from something in relation to science fiction in our world Earth-1218. I don't say this to dismiss any aspects of the MCU, but to simply suggest that some things may work differently than we expect. I think it may be possible to also stretch Coulson's lifespan with the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes as I proposed. And I'm sure the mid-credit scene from Ragnarok can also be stretched to occur much later than the rest of the film.

In summary, I think the Thanos "snap" has to take place on June 27 2018 at the earliest, because Ant-Man and the Wasp reveals it's at least two years since June 27 2016. Some of the last Season 5 episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. therefore have to be stretched a bit. And I don't think anyone believes any of the 2016 dates must be changed. (Or if someone does and that person can make this all work, then great!) I hope I covered everything. Have I made sense?
