Is this a response to the Runaways problem? Because that's not what the issue is here, the issue I go into is that either Episode 4 is set 13 days before Episode 10 or it's set 8 days before. It's not about the dates, it's just about the fact that Episode 10 is set on a Wednesday (whatever the date) and Episode 4 appears to be 8 days prior, but is seemingly set on a Thursday, so either we accept that it's a Thursday and slip in an extra 5 days, which is just about possible, or we reinterpret Gert and Chase's conversation and assume it's actually a Tuesday in Episode 4, so only 8 days before Episode 10. The question is what you guys think is more plausible. It's not about the days of the week matching the dates, it's about how many days pass between Episode 4 and 10, whatever their date placement is.

But also, just so you know, actually, the days of the week in the MCU do match the days of the week in the real world where possible. There's been discussion about this before - yes, there's incidents like that December 1991 one being wrong. There's quite a few incidents where the day of the week, usually on a newspaper is wrong. But there's no consistency to "Oh, well Sundays in our world are actually Mondays in the MCU" or whatever, there's evidence suggesting their days are 3 earlier than ours, 2 earlier than ours, 1 earlier than ours, the same, 1 later than ours, 2 later than ours, and 3 later than ours (maybe not literally every example but I just mean that there's no consistency to the offset). However, while there's a bit of evidence for -3, -2, -1, +1, +2, and +3, there's a good chunk of evidence for 0. I go into it a bit here and I know there's more examples that I'm just not thinking of right now.

Basically, the evidence is about 50:50 if you're just looking at it in terms of "they do match" and "they don't match", but the 50% of evidence for "they don't match" is split between 6 different options for what the difference is, so really it's like "there's 8% evidence for -3, 8% evidence for -2, 8% evidence for -1, 50% evidence for the same, 8% evidence for +1, 8% evidence for +2, 8% evidence for +3", if that makes sense. So there's sufficient evidence to suggest that the days of the week are the same.

Also, now that this thread is created, Assassin1and2, please could you edit your last message on Part 10 to say "Thread continued in Part 11, here." This allows people on the thread to follow it into its next part.
