Prioritising by How Defined the Date Is (Marvelus)
Marvelus wrote: You are right that moving Infinity War into June 2018 was going to cause a lot of things to move, that is why I suggested to write only the events from the TV shows that have a defined date. Right, but those things aren't linked. If it was "Don't work on calculating the order until when it's more set in stone", that would make sense because it means the work doesn't have to be done twice. But that work's already been done, it was done in summer and was important to get done A.S.A.P.. The write-ups aren't the problem because it's barely any extra work to shuffle a few bullet points if things changed, the workload comes from all the working out of how those things need to be moved, which needs to be done whether or not the events are already written up.

That was the point I was trying to make before when I said that for me personally, one of the reasons I won't prioritise by how set in stone they are is because I don't personally see much correlation between "how firm the placement is" and "reason to wait to write it up". The work needs to be done anyway and if the placement changes, all that involves is a quick edit to shift some placements.

I can see that there's maybe something in that idea, but personally, I find the correlation negligible. The write-ups just need to get done, it's a backlog, and I just personally feel I need to work through it as such. Obviously I don't have a problem with using that as a system or anything - of course not - but just, I see no personal advantage to it.

Netflix Write-Ups (Marvelus)
Marvelus wrote: I have finally written Jessica Jones S2, needs some correction. Afterwards, it is ready to get its way into the 2017 article. I will proceed to write Luke Cage S2, Iron Fist S2 and Daredevil S3 into the draft we have. And take my time to finish The Punisher and watch Cloak and Dagger and help with the latter's placement. Thanks man. I'm glad you're willing to do all that Netflix stuff, though if you look at the thread about the write-ups, I don't necessarily think you should claim all of them yet just because if someone else is willing to work on, say, Iron Fist, while you're working on Luke Cage, then it will get done in half the time.

But thank you so much. Your effort to write up so much so fast is really great.

Nick Fury at S.H.I.E.L.D. (Mrmichaelt)
Mrmichaelt wrote: There is the clue about how the enemy forces were the ELN. I never looked into their history too much but they were known to be focused on ransom and extortion in the 90s, peaked in the mid-90s then entered a period of decline by the late 90s. I thought that photo was just a ceremony of Pierce recognizing Fury's efforts in Bogota. Was there like 2 photos of Fury and Pierce and another that Fury dated as a Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting in 1992? It seemed like after a couple years, when an agent starts getting into command positions, they get stationed in South America (Coulson got Cusco in 2002) in for a bit then back to the States. I always thought that Bogota was in the early 90s and as a result of his strategy and saving the people, he was promoted a little sooner than usual. And now with the new info from Captain Marvel, I see how Bogota could have dovetailed into him getting a position as threat assessment back in the States. Pierce was probably still Under Secretary at the State Department at the time and made it happen.

I don't think Fury was made Director until the 2000s which probably happened right after Pierce was promoted to Secretary. It seem like the duties in the State Department overlapped with the WSC or they had him as their fixer (aka enforcer), and that gave him more oversight over S.H.I.E.L.D., probably part of HYDRA's plans to clinch their grasp. I never got around to it but I wondered if you could serve a position in a U.S. bureau or department and also serve a position in a global body like the UN. That all sounds plausible to me, nice research and a good theory.

I wonder if there might be a moment in Captain Marvel where Fury gets promoted and they say something like, "Who knows, you might be director one day?" in a very prequel-y way. I would otherwise say that there's a chance that we see him become director in the film (in that "everything significant in the character's past happened in the space of one week" prequel trope), but it seems like he's too low down in the organisation to get promoted that much in the one film. That said, Mack was just an agent when he got appointed director.

The Write-Up Discussion Thread (additional)
I've set up the thread for write-ups for anyone who wants to help. It's here.
