<p>No it's not. If you think about it, this is the same time travel as the white monolith. </p><p>Think about it like this, Deke is using a new metaphor, but it's the same concept. There's a consistent flow of time, that takes a huge amount of effort to maintain. In Season 5, it took Coulson dying to make a change (Deke's dam), but before they were willing to accept that, their efforts were fruitless, as everything was set back on track (Deke's sticks), until they did a big thing (Coulson dying, again the dam). It's the same thing, Deke is just describing it in a more user-friendly way. So, based solely on what Deke said, we should be safe from those discussions. Everything we see won't be part of a new timeline, but rather an addition to the old one, until (because we all know how narrative structure works), something analogous to a dam happens. </p><p>Although, even if they do have a new form of time travel, the MCU is no stranger to that. The White Monolith, Charles/Robin Hinton's powers, Chase Stein's Time Machine, and the Quantum Realm all work slightly different. The jump drive being different too isn't that far of a stretch. </p>

<p>I also wanted to point out that LMD Coulson has some lines that further solidify early 1931 (with January working) as the year: </p> <div class="quote"><i> <dl><dd><i>"It's the Great Depression. A decade before Pearl Harbor, almost four decades before Apollo 11. These people have never even seen a TV."</i> </dd><dd>―Phil Coulson<sup class="plainlinks">[src]</sup></dd></dl></i></div>
<p>The Great Depression started in 1929, so 1931 tracks. Pearl Harbor was on December 7, 1941, so "a decade" is actually perfect. Apollo 11 touched down on July 20, 1969, so "almost four decades" is a very reasonable thing to say casually. While television was technically invented in the 20s (first demonstrated on March 25, 1925 to be exact), when considering the rate at which these technologies became affordable and public, it's understandable to say that they haven't seen one while walking through a poor neighborhood. Besides, LMD Coulson could be talking about more modern or fully functioning TVs, which works as well. So, 1931 still tracks. </p>

<p>That's actually not my issue with it at all, since I accept that there's different methods shown in Endgame, AoS and Runaways. My issue is that Endgame actually gave us a pretty solid explanation for its time travel, and there's still division in the interpretation not only among the fanbase, but among the creatives involved as well. AoS could very well do the same thing, and while I don't mind leaving things up to interpretation, wiggle room with the rules of time travel can impact the timeline any number of ways. </p><p>It just gives me bad flashbacks to the whole white/gold, black/blue dress or the laurel/yanny sound clip. </p>

We did not say this is a different method from how aos has done it. We just said that three are multiple mwrhods in the mcu and they cpuld have different outcomes

<p>Edward Zachary Sunrose started this conversation by saying that, so I read the message backing up his original message. My bad. </p>

<p>On the subject of SHIELD 7, I zoomed in on one of the posters in the new clip. There wasn't much legible stuff, but after several attempts at color correcting and trying to read it, I ended up with the words "FOOTBALL," "Chicago," and "New York." This is clearly advertising a football game that's happening between Chicago and New York. </p><p>In 1930, there were two football teams in each city, the Chicago Bears and Cardinals, and the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers. Given that it says "New York" and not "Brooklyn," it's reasonable to guess this is about the Giants. </p><p>Football seasons ended in mid-December at the time rather than January, so it's either an old poster from the 1930 season or a poster advertising the 1931 season, which would make the 1930s events late 1931. </p><p>I looked it up, the Giants played against the Bears in New York on November 16, 1930 and November 15, 1931. They played against the Chicago Cardinals on October 16, 1930. </p><p>Since the other evidence points to early 1931, this must be advertising the latest game possible in the 1930 season, Giants v Bears on November 16, 1930. It's an old poster that solidifies January 1931 a little bit more. </p><p>While this evidence suggests early January and Dracula suggests mid- to late-January, it's good to know we have a month solidified. It also confirms that this game happened in the <i>MCU</i>, so should be placed on the timeline as a Real Event linked to whatever episode the scene is from (I'm assuming <i>The New Deal</i>, but I'll wait to post it until I'm sure). I'll attach the picture of the signs, although my zoomed-in version cannot be posted since it was deleted. </p><p>] </p>

<p>Awesome, can't wait to see those ideas! </p>

<p>Unrelated to the MCU, but i recently saw i video that depicted the two-different type of time travel and time-continum (the Novikov self-consistency principle and the multiverse theory related to Quantum Physics) as a two different types of dimensional travel (one five-dimensional, the other one sixth-dimensional).
It isn't something easy to explain in one thread but it was extremely interesting and i hope someone will use it more in fiction. </p><p>
Personally, i'm not against "different set rules" but i usually like consistence and do not like "convenient" plot device like "time remnants", "time bubbles" and other stuff like that.  </p>
