Not really a problem if that's the case, just something to note. I realised as I was watching, "Oh there's some computer OS/software here that might need checking," but kind of thought, "Well there won't be anything distinctive that I can remember about the OS/software's appearance where I'd be able to track down exactly what it was just by Googling, hopefully if there's something worth noting I'll stumble across it," but then the June calendar came up and I think I kind of thought, "Oh, never mind, it's sorted," and forgot to mention it here.

But now that you've mentioned it, looking at Windows 95 compared to its predecessor, Windows 3.1x, there's a clear difference, and it would seem to me that yes, they use Windows 95. I would also have assumed that Windows 95 came out in 1994, as they tend to number them based on the upcoming year, but you're right, it's August.

Really seems like other than the Mallrats reference, everything would've worked better if it were set around September.

With the train line, Windows 95, and potentially a couple of the songs (again, if someone's rewatching soon or just watching soon and could check the songs mentioned above that would be great) being from August-September, maybe we should say that the film's main events are as late as possible, June 29-July 1, 1995.

@BEJT, yes man, 0 excitement for all the MCU products this year (not even the TV Shows). A lot of thing going down in my life that I cannot put too much attention to the MCU.

I must say that a lot of things have affected the way I feel into the MCU, BEJT knows what I am talking about as you have participated in the Discussion session. My worries that Feige could just chose to ignore the MCU TV Shows do bother me (I know I should not take into account assumptions but they still worry me because I feel deep down it might get truth, I just hope not. Please never happen). And other stuff happening that I have decided to put the MCU aside for a while. Still my hobby but for the first time in a while I am putting more important things above my hobbies and that will be rewarded I am sure of that :) It just makes me a bit sad that you're not excited, but I think that's also because I'm sad about the people who are all "no one's excited for Captain Marvel!" and whatever and so seeing you, for different, legitimate reasons happen to not be excited just reminds me of all of that.

I have found that being an MCU fan at a tricky and/or busy time is actually a good thing for me, and I can get more invested and allow myself to escape into that world, and for me, busyness doesn't crowd out excitement. But obviously it does crowd out time that can be devoted to something.

Marvelus wrote: Now. The movie was GREAT!! Loved it. It started a bit rushed and confusing like it was forcing the character to be liked (I didn't like Carol's jokes xD) but then it got better while the movie was moving into the third act. Maria is such a great character, most convincing actress in the entire movie. I loved seeing Fury and Coulson and liked Ronan even tho he did nothing compared to what I expected.

Brie Larson is a very good actress. I like her character development. And didn't expect the Skrulls twist. I mean I knew the Krees were the bad guys because I was spoiled by my little brother (: but a good twist. I don't know how are they going to adapt Secret Invasion.

And I knew the Krees were the bad guys after all after seeing their development in Guardians of the Galaxy and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. And thst is why I would hate the TV Show being gone. All I could think about while watching the Krees was all their history built in the MCU. When I saw the moon I was thinking about the Inhuman Royal Family living in there by the time. And all the experiments the Krees did in order to gain the wars they began against the Skrulls, the Xandarians, the Inhumans and all. Wasting that entire story would be such a stupid move.

And I also loved how Coulson did not turn Danvers and Fury in, while in the movie is never stated I am sure that it was because he recruited him into S.H.I.E.L.D. and it was such a powerful moment for me because I know all the things they lived and are about to live. That kind of storyline is something that the movies would not pay attention to. And they never contradicted that Fury recruited Coulson so I am so happy that at least the films are not contradicting the TV Shows. I don't care if they do never interact but I hope that they do not contradict them.

Anyway, I loved the movie. A great movie by Marvel Studios. After a great Black Panther, a blast with Avengers: Infinity War and the simple and mediocre Ant-Man and the Wasp is good to see something different. I liked Ant-Man and the Wasp but it was so simple, I could give it a 10 out of 10 because it felt too simple that I could not think of a bad thing.

Lets hope Marvel keeps bringing new shows and starts changing the way they do movies, while I love them I think they need to show new themes, like the ones the TV Shows handled. I'm really glad you liked it. I absolutely agree about Maria and have just had to defend her on a discussion, I don't know why anyone would have a problem with her.

I've always said Brie is great and the trailers likely didn't do her justice, and I absolutely stand by that. Aside from just two scenes I can think of, I thought she did really well and brought so much to the character.

Not all Kree are bad, as this film explores and as Feige has just discussed. But yeah, considering Yon-Rogg was Marvel's worst-kept secret, I had more than a suspicion that things were going that way - although I didn't expect the Skrulls to be fairly good guys (again, Feige has discussed how this absolutely doesn't mean they all are).

That was my feeling with the Coulson scene as well, although Fury's discussion with Carol about him in the Quinjet does imply otherwise. He calls him "the new guy" and talks about whether or not Coulson likes him in a way that suggests they've not known each other long. But you can just take the former as "He's just joined my division" and the latter at face value, with Fury hoping Coulson likes him. It certainly wasn't explicitly their first meeting and I was so relieved by that.

One thing I forgot to mention is that I was relieved that Coulson never encounters the Kree properly (Carol is kind of a Kree but not the blue fully alien kind). I think she mentions that she's from "Kree Starforce" when she meets them, but a) it's a throwaway line that easily could not have stuck in Coulson's brain for 18 years, b) it was more important that he didn't specifically meet a blue Kree than just didn't hear their name, c) I can't remember if he's even there at that point yet, and d) if he is, from memory it might already have to be the Skrull, so it's not a problem anyway.

But then DG2104 pointed out on a discussion something that, because I was so swept up in the film, I didn't register the significance of in the moment. Coulson's final scene, where he asks Fury if it's true that the Kree burned his eye out. So Coulson has heard of the Kree.

But as I said to them, Coulson never saw them, so he doesn't know what they look like and therefore wouldn't recognise them when he encounters GH in 2013. And sure, he also didn't really seem to know the name when it got brought up, but maybe he just forgot, if not naturally then maybe when Fury removed his memories of the T.A.H.I.T.I. process, as someone suggested before as a potential solve if there was a problem. It's certainly not as egregious as if he had met the proper blue Kree, which was my main worry.
