Hawkeye (Gerisama)
Gerisama wrote: Hawkeye's backstory's gonna be eplored in his Disney+ series. It could be really interesting especially after Natasha's solo film next year.

It would help us explore the 90s and early 2000s of the MCU more thoroughly Yeah, could be interesting.

Avengers: Damage Control (Mrmichaelt)
Mrmichaelt wrote: EW has an article saying Avengers: Damage Control "picks up a bit after Endgame." Marvel released a video on their YouTube channel a few hours ago as well where they say it's set after Endgame, but that doesn't necessarily translate to canon, the same way all those Iron Man comics are set "between Iron Man and Iron Man 2" but aren't canon.

If they acknowledge and explain Hulk's appearance, and/or someone actually properly addresses the canon question and says yes, sure. It would be annoying because so many people, myself included, cannot access it, and it's messy in terms of what exact elements of a variable story count as canon and it being a new medium... but sure.

But due to Hulk and the article saying it pretty much isn't really canon, I would say it's non-canon until proven otherwise, rather than canon until proven otherwise.

Cloak & Dagger Cancellation (Edward Zachary Sunrose)
Edward Zachary Sunrose wrote: A little late, but Cloak and Dagger has officially been cancelled, and the showrunner hinted that it was because of corporate decisions, which makes sense since shows with lower ratings were renewed. (It could've been a dig at Freeform, but his comments IMO are likely about the Marvel restructuring.)

Shame to lose such a great TV show, but at least we won't have it muddying up the timeline anymore. If I remember correctly, prior to the JJ3 Mother's Day debacle, C&D as a whole was the trickiest item to place. You guys don't really get to see my thoughts and Marvelus' that much I guess, because we tend to talk about these things on the discussions section. So my thoughts about the cancellation and about the general Marvel restructuring and cancellations can be found here.

I don't personally think Cloak & Dagger is particularly great, I never loved it, but it's not about that for me anymore so much as it's just about what it represents and the sad death of Marvel Television.

But yes, there's a timeline silver lining. I wouldn't quite compare it to the Jessica Jones thing. I guess it's the same idea, several options and none of them good, but it feels different to me because Jessica Jones there was just no particular good option and Cloak & Dagger we settled after Season 1 on a reasonable option, and the rest was just an eye-rolling amount of inconsistency. Still, just in terms of TV shows and general problems, it was the most problematic show when it came to the timeline - the most inconsistent. And if Season 3 had happened, it would have to pick up after Runaways: Season 3, so at least early 2018, and the show last time did a real time jump so I wouldn't have been surprised if it went "And it's been another few months since Season 2" or "since Runaways: Season 3" and cause some more major Snap problems.

Again, would like some more input on this to make a decision.

In the latest The Daily Bugle video shows an article, which isn't actually the article on the site, which also calls Peter a "sixteen-year-old".
