This Stan Lee Defenders commercial

- Maybe not because Luke is out of prison, so when would this be? Not before Defenders. And I don't see a good spot to put it during the season. The link here is for the Midland Circle Security Elevator B video, which we did deem canon - fitting in between The Defenders Episode 3 and Episode 4. However, if you're talking about that video where Stan Lee goes around New York in a car looking at billboards and talking about hero stories, we didn't consider that canon, it's just a promo really and doesn't fit.

- This seems fine to put in. Maybe shortly after Season 2 of Luke Cage? Misty agrees to do this commercial for Rand? Also Claire is back by then. Yeah I always saw this as a canon thing like the Chikara Dojo promo. I was going to work out where it falls in relation to the season as I get to working out the exact dates, but I just rewatched it with the context of now having watched the season, and I'd agree that it's after the season. It has to be after all the scenes which are used in the video, which I think goes up to Episode 3 with Misty and Colleen, but then it would be a bit weird for her to have filmed the rest of the promo during the events of Season 2. After the season makes more sense, especially since she's apparently gotten used to the arm - or perhaps after the main events of the finale but before the final scene with Luke in Harlem's Paradise.

- I made this edit by cutting out the parts with Benedict Cumberbatch that were clearly out of universe. But the lady at the end knowing Doctor Strange's name should be removed if this is assumed to fit with canon. I know the events that happened in Hong Kong were undone, but wasn't there some sort of reference to them in AoS Season 3? I remember there was some talk on here back then, I think at least there was. Maybe the time reversal was geographically limited to those few city blocks, so anyone outside that perimiter could have witnesses what happened and left before the time reversal. What do you think? I agree that there could have been witnesses outside of the perimeter, because I do think that the reversal was merely within a certain radius, and there was the reference in Season 4 (I think it was Episode 5? it was just before it came out in the U.S.).

However, we deemed that video non-canon because as you say, it's only selective parts which would count. Not only the Benedict Cumberbatch stuff but also the woman talking about Doctor Strange - they were enough to deem it non-canon, and canon status only comes from the piece as a whole.

CirUmeUela wrote: Various Jessica Jones promos

- As far as I can find, these type of promos with additional footage were only done for Season 1 of Jessica Jones, unless you count the Stan Lee Defeners commercial previously mentioned. These could be put randomly before Season 1, without any real time clues, it could just be assumed to be days before the season starts. Or maybe some of this stuff is too out-of-character to be considered canon?

Alright, that's it for now. As a side note, I do want to add in many of the deleted scenes, but the best way to do that is to get all the movies on Blu Ray first and then go through and see which ones fit or add to the story. I don't have them all yet so I'm waiting on that. But take your time on these, no rush. Thanks for doing all the hard calculations! We decided on those being non-canon because some of them wouldn't really make sense. There's no point in Jessica's recent life in which she would have gone into a room and found all those pictures of her that also aligned to be Kilgrave's eyes - and while on its own it wouldn't be enough to call these non-canon, the bar one is also very weird, with no particular time at which she would have really been able to get into a fight like that. Sure, you could assume that it was just some event we never heard about, but it's definitely odd and doesn't line up with the season, and combined with the Kilgrave one, it kind of ended up with the whole set being dismissed as just promos.
