Iron Man (ProBot1227, Marvelus)

Yeah, we have to take advantage of the fact that at least he doesn't say, "Since you two got together in 2008."

Maybe Happy bought a ring in hopes of encouraging Tony to find someone during his time sleeping around like we see in February 2009 in Iron Man. Maybe it's a special ring in Tony's family that Happy has had since 2008 for whomever Tony marries. It's not ideal, but it has to be taken.

Again, not ideal, but since he says "the 8 years" and not just "8 years ago", you can just about take it as "the 8 years of 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016".

Jessica Jones: Season 3 (The Wikia Editor)
The Wikia Editor wrote: I've currently watched up to Episode 5 of Jessica Jones: Season 3 and have been looking for some potential timeline indicators.

According to this site, the Spring/Summer fashion season starts in January and runs until around June.

In Episode 3, Malcolm pretends to be a student in the master's biology program. In New York, the Spring Semester begins around January 28 and conclude around May 13-16 (as shown here with the calendars of New York University, City College of New York and New York City College of Technology).

Similarly, the Summer Semester starts around May 28 and concludes around August 18.

All of this seems to be pointing towards the season being around April-May-June. Thanks. Yeah, I got the spring/summer season starting in January from that page as well. The thing is, they're launching the spring/summer range, so that line would most likely place it around December/January, and if you go with the November placement it would indeed be early December by the finale (there's a "Wednesday 5" iCloud calendar icon you could match it up with).

I had assumed that it being term time didn't really give us anything helpful, because the only options we have are all term time. Is there any reason why it would have to be spring semester?

And yeah, the problem overall is that there's some evidence for around May, but quite a bit of evidence for around November, the main one being the Mother's Day line.

If it weren't for the Snap, it would be, "It's November-early December 2018, with a few small contradictions to that."

If it weren't for the Mother's Day line, it would be "There's enough evidence for May 2018 that, along with the Snap, it can be May 2018, with just a few contradictions to that."

But both are in play.

Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War: The Cosmic Quest Volume One: Beginning (additional)
I'm just finishing the book now so I'll give you guys my notes soon, but it's an easy placement, it takes place over one day, a "Friday" (apparently they have Fridays on Knowhere) after the attack on Xandar and before Avengers: Infinity War, and there's only one Friday in that gap.

Next onto Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War: The Cosmic Quest Volume Two: Aftermath, and I will report back about Selvig.

Spider-Man: Far from Home (additional)
All being well, I should be seeing Far from Home on Tuesday. Sadly, I've already had some things spoiled, but oh well.

Thought I'd just consolidate some dates we have currently that will hopefully all work out for the number of days that pass.


 * July 19th - Peter's passport is issued. He picks it up on or after this date. Apparently that scene is not actually in the film, it will be on a short on the blu-ray instead, but if we can work out where it would go in the film that could still be helpful.
 * July 24th - Peter's stamp on the poster for arrival in both Berlin and London. Also at the premiere in the background. The "19" year is obviously wrong, and it's seemingly wrong also that both of these should be on the same day, but the "24 JUL" could still factor in for one of them, whichever makes more sense. Maybe both if for some reason they just spend a few hours in one of them, but I doubt it.
 * July 30th - Image appears to say "Venice Monday, July 30th", though it's very hard to tell. In 2023, July 30th would be a Sunday/the Monday would be July 24th or 31st.
 * The trip is planned to last 2 weeks.

I'm kind of hoping (assuming they put a tiny bit of care into it) we get passport stamps and things basically chronicling how far into the trip we are with "24 JUL" and "26 JUL". It would be really nice to just have an MCU film's setting laid out specifically, with us knowing confidently that the year is 2023 and then them giving the exact July dates.
