Protego Maxima wrote: Hey guys. I'd like to say a few words about Iron Fist timeline. I read all the posts in this topic, but I don't know if it is discussed in another page. We can agree that Daredevil Season 2 and Luke Cage ended in December 2015. As for the Iron Fist, it is considered that first episode takes place in February 8th, 2016 because of Chinese New Year. It makes sense to think that IF takes place 2 months after Luke Cage S1 finale. However: They always said Harold Meachum died 13 years ago. Again in timeline in this wiki, Harold's date of death appears in 2003. Plus, Rand family plane crash apeears in 2001 in timeline. But this promo [] shows Harold's date of death was in 2004. Also Ward Meachum's LinkedIn page [], which is official, says Ward took over the company in December 2004. Also remember, Danny said he broke his leg in July 2001. Even if he got better within one month, why would they push too hard? It is like they are saying plane crash happened in 2002. So they are implying Iron Fist S1 takes place in 2017. So between Claire finding Colleen's fighting lessons advert (S1 finale of Luke Cage) and we see her taking lesson (Iron Fist 1x05), there's 1 year and 2-3 months. I believe Netflix shows want to catch up with the current time. They don't want to follow a year behind. I am sure Defenders will tell us more, but so far evidences are enough, in my opinion. So I suggest that dates of Harold Meachum's first death, Rand Plane Crash, Chinese New Year should be moved a year ahead. Also Rand family's date of death in infoboxes and other deceased characters' (like Bakuto) infoboxes should be fixed. What do you say? I did see that promo with Harold, and yeah, I have been getting the impression from these promos and the LinkedIn page and the show itself that the past dates (2001-2004) are vaguely placed under the assumption from the marketing and things that it takes place in 2017. However, Charlie Cox stated Defenders picks up only a few months after Daredevil, Claire does not seem to have been training long, Luke does not seem to have been imprisoned long, and Danny takes a monkey zodiac mask from the stall at New Year - 2016 being the year of the monkey.

I was actually going to mention at some point how the stuff relating to the show seems to act like it is set in 2017, but you have made all my points for me.

Personally at least, I think for now it should stay in 2016, but it should be considered that it could be 2017, and Defenders remains to finalise the dates.

As for the info boxes, there shouldn't be years in there - the new rule is because the Netflix dates are in flux, info boxes should not have a year for Netflix.

Thanks for your help
