Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

My high school always had them on Friday but I have no idea how typical that is.

More working on the one I already have...I stopped working on it two years ago because it was really hard to tell where the events of Doctor Strange and Ragnarök actually fit in, but now that I know for sure that Infinity war is set in 2018, it is time to fill the blanks. While also ignoring the "8 years" in Homecoming.
Though I just figured out that Homecoming mostly happens within two weeks around the 13 to 15 october (that's when the decatlon is). The Homecoming dance happens in the week after, so with a weekday, I could actually pin down a precise date...which is very welcome, the MCU has been lately very stingy with any kind of dates.

How long is the stretch between Fury's Big Week and Avengers Assemble? Because Vision in Civil War saying that Iron Man took place in 2008 and Tony in Infinity war saying that Avengers took place in 2012, and Iron Man 2 taking place 6 months after Iron Man... that suggests that Avengers took place three to four years after Big Week, and, that feels really incorrect to me. Mostly for Jane's character arc in Thor The Dark World.
(This is why I preferred Homecoming's take of "Avengers Assemble took place a year after Fury's Big Week")
Someone said it was Word of God a while back that the "injured Air Force vet" mentioned in the beginning of Dr. Strange was someone from Iron Man 2's batch of failed tests and not Rhodey. Not sure about the validity of the claim that it is Word of God, since I don't remember seeing a source, but that might help to place it in the timeline.

It was confirmed that the experimental armor victim was not Rhodey
, but it having been the unfortunate Hammer pilot remains only a theory.

Well, okay then. Given that other people making Iron Man suits literally never came up again after that point, I'm going to assume it was one of the guys in the Iron Man 2 montage (or one of the ones that wasn't in the montage while making suits was still all the craze). As to why it was never mentioned, maybe everyone just gave up and decided it was a fad.

It makes sense to me that Doctor Strange takes place over years. The guy physically ages during the studying montage, and you notice that extras thin out over that time. Plus, I refuse to believe you can qualify for the rank of Master in under a year.
You're beholden to that shot of the completed Avengers tower in the first act though. I can't remember if you see it pre or post car accident.
Him not knowing how to set a watch would weirdly be some kind of thematic character development because Time Stone
Forever liveblogging the Avengers

Quick Question: When is usually the homecoming dance?
