I updated my blog predicting Marvel Netflix release dates and their timeline placements. We're looking at:
 * Marvel's Luke Cage: Season 2 arriving on Friday, June 22, 2018 (sadly won't be able to watch it for a few days after that). Set around August 2017.
 * This would be just under 2 years since Season 1, and it's releasing just under 2 years after as well, so hopefully the writers took an approximate real time-passing approach. It would also be just over a year since Marvel's The Defenders: Season 1, and it's releasing just under a year after. Hopefully, like Marvel's Jessica Jones: Season 2, they don't really address the time span, or maybe just say "last year" or something.
 * Potential problems: Slightly worried again, even more now with the clip that was recently released, about the fact that it seems Misty isn't used to not having an arm yet. The behaviour would suggest this is not very long after Marvel's The Defenders: Season 1, which would make it more like late 2016 which is problematic.
 * Marvel's Daredevil: Season 3 arriving around Friday, November 9, 2018. Set around December 2017.
 * This would be 2 years since Season 2, and it's releasing over 2½ years later. Quite often the writers treat time as having passed a bit less than in the real world in these shows, so with this being less than the real amount of time, hopefully we're pretty safe for any time-since-Season 2 references. It's a year and a half since Marvel's The Defenders: Season 1, and it's releasing just over a year after. Again, hopefully it isn't too specific, but hopefully they have allowed for it to be a while. Also, apparently Danny Johnson will appear as Benjamin Donovan and Annabella Sciorra will appear as Rosalie Carbone in both Marvel's Luke Cage: Season 2 and Marvel's Daredevil: Season 3, so this basically confirms that, as would be expected, Marvel's Daredevil: Season 3 will be set after Marvel's Luke Cage: Season 2.
 * Potential problems: Slightly worried about the fact that this would have to mean Matt has been away from New York for like 19 months. Why would he stay hidden for that long? But I'm sure they would be able to explain that away pretty easily, so long as they have actually made the effort.
 * Marvel's Iron Fist: Season 2 arriving around Friday, January 18, 2019. Set around February 2018.
 * This would be 2 years since Season 1, and it's releasing just under 2 year later. Hopefully that works out. It would be about 6 months after Marvel's Luke Cage: Season 2, and it's releasing about 7 months later, so if we get the standard approximated "few months" or "6 months" from cast members, or just "months" in the show, then that works out.
 * Potential problems: This, then, would be when we start to hit some Infinity War difficulty. If my predictions are right, this would mean that Marvel's Iron Fist: Season 2 is releasing before Avengers 4, but is set after Avengers: Infinity War. This would mean that it would be post-snap, but it's highly unlikely it will address it. If the snap gets reversed in Avengers 4, then that's all fine. However, if the resolution, however it plays out, in some way means that in February 2018 there should be half the world's population in ash, we have a problem. And the difficulty is that when this releases, we won't know for over 3 more months. My suggestion as before is to just place it where it naturally places, and not try and move it or Infinity War to get it before the film, in case it's not necessary. We just place where fits best and after Avengers 4, if it's necessary, then we can go back and have a look at shifting things to fit.
 * Marvel's The Punisher: Season 2 arriving around Friday, March 29, 2019. Set around May 2018.
 * This would be just under 1½ years since Season 1, and it's releasing just under 1½ years later. Hopefully, that works out OK, like real time.
 * Problems: The same Infinity War problems, but at least in this case, if my predictions are about right, we'd only be a few weeks out from knowing how the snap works. Also, if Billy's only just waking up, that's a year-and-a-half asleep. Not impossible, though.
