Marvel Cinematic Universe - Timeline (Part 5)

Hold up, I was waiting to see the film today, which I just got back from.

I'll read everything else later.
Here are my (SPOILER) related thoughts in regards to the timeline (PLEASE READ):
Cleary the movie doesn't start in August. There's evidence to suggest this is towards the first quarter of the year.
  1. Sue finds out she's pregnant in the first scene. So at least one month into it, let's say for the sake of argument we're in the first quarter of the year, around March or April.
  2. The big one: this is the anniversary of when the F4 got their powers - NOT their first fight which was with Mole Man. So they got their powers months before they starting crime fighting
  3. Franklin is born in November/December, time dilation relative to their motional state means most likely November.
  4. Conclusion: Film starts in March 1965. Approximately one month into Sue's pregnancy. Pregnancy lasts 9 months, so Franklin was conceived in February of that same year.

March 1966 for the year later, more like "3 months later" lmao but still the following year.

Lastly, during the ending credits animation you DO see a Galactus "On this Day in... The F4 Saved the World" mural...I couldn't see the date. Was too fast.
So that Galactus mural in that closing credits I need to look at closer on 'another viewing' and see when that date is.
 


apparently you can see
copyright 1964 in the abc broadcasts, so it would be:
- july/aug 1960 - gain powers
- july/aug 1964-1965 - main movie
- 1969 - post-credits

Copyrighted the previous year.

Go watch for that in the closing credits of most productions, they are copyrighted literally the year prior ahead of time.
 
Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man has been given an official reality number now. Earth-86445
Good to know.

date on mural is august 8

also in the video i linked you can see car registration stickers that expire in 1964

edit: can't read, i see now you are referring to a different mural with galactus in the credits, i agree this will help immensely

When I saw the film, they definitely cut the "Sunday" line in the scene set on Halloween seen in the previews.
Halloween is a Sunday in 1965.

This had to be a late-production change when they were probably still configuring the Doomsday timeline.
 
Oh BTW I'm probably thinking the timeline of the post credits scenes of Thunderbolts and FF (especially since they're tied to Doomsday) are like this

Sue notices that Doom has infiltrated their home and they all evacuate to the main MCU as seen in Thunderbolts
