Irish, I'm back, but I come in peace hahah. I just finished SHIELD season 1. Found another prop that seems to place the later half in 2014. It's from the episode "Nothing Personal" after May digs up Coulson's grave. She gets in a car with a Virginia license plate. Both the inspection sticker and the vehicle registration are set to expire in December of 2015. Now in Virginia you are able to choose whether or not you would like to renew your registration for one OR two years. Now I'm from Virginia, but for those who aren't here's a tidbit from the Virginia DMV site
"Once you complete your registration, you will be given a Virginia registration card, which must be kept in your vehicle at all times, and Virginia license plates. You will need to renew your vehicle registration either every year or every 2 years, depending on which option you choose."
I do however have no explanation for the Virginia inspection sticker, which are supposed to be renewed every year...
So, either the car was renewed in December of 2014, which I think we all agree there is no way, or in December of 2013, which means that date has passed and these episodes take place in 2014.
Just thought I would put this here for everyone to think about. Thanks guys.

Yeah, like I said a bit earlier, I am giving your suggestions for Agents of SHIELD Season 1 consideration. I will go back and rewatch the episodes with the films, in order, then onto Seasons 2-3 and a rewatch of Season 4 to cover all bases, with the corresponding films placed between.
Iron Man 3 though has to occur before AoS Season 1. That was whole premise of the Deathlok storyline that popped up throughout season 1. But I do think ignoring Winter Soldier camera date in favor of the date seen on the sign out sheet in Thor - The Dark World has validity.
The big problem is the "all winter" comment in AoS 2x01.
But we've been over that all ad nauseam already. I'm going to rewatch and see best approach to take.
I think it's very possible the vehicle had a brand new registration. It may be best to run Season 1 from September to December, 2013 and override the Winter Soldier date with the sign out date in Thor-TDW, leaving a several month break and then Season 2 picks up in Spring, 2014 (to account for the "All winter" comment regarding how long Talbot had been chasing them). I just need to rewatch Season 2 to pattern time passage better and dialogue mentioning specific events that happened a certain number of days/weeks/months ago.
Spider-Man sequel scheduled July 5, 2019:

I don't know how official that is, but there's the link regardless.
It's official. 2 years after release of first movie, July 4th weekend (Thurs night, July 4 - Sunday, July 7). That'll be a huge opening most likely, and Sony/Marvel Studios want to take advantage of that. No doubt they were pleased with the footage of rough cuts of Homecoming they saw, and are following the Marvel formula of solo sequels every two years.
That said, I REALLY want them to do a Kraven and Mysterio villain combo in sequel. Kraven doesn't require extensive origin/backstory, nor does Mysterio ("mystery" is in his name!), so it wouldn't be bogged down with exposition of the villains that when handled poorly destroys pacing and fun of the films. That should be accomplished through smart use of dialogue, including during fight scenes. You could even make Kraven not just a hunter, but a hunter of superhumans and Inhumans (simple montage of Peter looking guy up on Internet would do) to tie into the larger meta story of the world fearing Inhumans due to their appearance (they are the mutants of the MCU anyway).
And, of course, Peter calls in the help of Doctor Strange. That alone (their first meeting) would be hilarious. Spidey peering into the Sanctum's glass panel, the cape of levitation flying out to apprehend Spidey, a quick and funny action sequence between them, the caps getting webbed, Spidey getting trapped by the cape and brought to meet Strange who was in astral projection form doing something or other.
Strange ridicules Spidey a bit, but good naturedly, and while he offers some advice on Magic, illusion, and how to beat Mysterio, doesn't directly intervene (though he does keep a watchful eye on Spidey from the Sanctum, just in case).
And so on. They're seemingly setting Strange up to be a sort of Tony Stark in some capacity. Bring it on.
