    Gambit was originally meant to come out this fall but has been delayed indefinitely

    Oh OK

    What came of that Gambit and Quicksilver's book?
    I'm not sure which one you mean

    Gambit recently appeared in Uncanny Avengers which also stars Quicksilver?

    Although
    it was actually Red Skull fucking with Rogue

    It's possible that the MCU has a freak heat wave in New York in March/April of 2016, granted.

    okay so the order is definitely dd1 -> jj -> dd2

    the truck accident happened january 2014, that's what she searches for on the computer

    the series takes place six months after that, trish says she hasn't heard from jessica in six months since kilgrave

    the series lasts like... two months? let's say july to september 2014

    then daredevil 2 begins not long after, the heat wave being notable because it's september, and stretches to christmas

    I missed the last issue of HCoS that was also a Standoff tie in on Wednesday. Did anyone here read it?

    Considering it's being cancelled I'm assuming no.

    AoU rewatch continued - the point where Tony tells Rhodey to continue evacuations and everyone else to meet him at the chapel would have been the perfect opportunity to drop an "Avengers Assemble" instead of the "Avengers - time to work for a living" that we got

    edit: and I want to finish levelling Scarlet Witch in Marvel Heroes now

    Huh!

    So this would all be concurrent with AoS season 2 then.

    Wow, apparently no one bought the last HCoS issue from what I can tell.

    Looking at the preview it actually shows Pleasent Hill post-Shield control so I might get it just to be a completist.

    DD Season 1 references "the incident" as being two years ago, not three, which is when it was released

    Some speculation I've seen, which might be accurate but I'm not sure, is that while AoS and the movies mostly take place when they come out, the Netflix stuff seems to take place when it's filmed

    wait scratch all that, trish says it's "a year" since kilgrave, which could refer to any point in 2015 really since people don't use that term exactly

    so I guess daredevil could begin in late 2014, which makes it reasonable for people to say "two years ago" to refer to may 2012, and stretches to spring 2015

    I gotta check some of the newspaper dates in the netflixes

    I believe there's an interview where the actors say that about 6 months have passed between seasons 1 and 2.

    And the newspaper about
    the gang shooting where Frank's family was killed was from April.

    six months between d1 and d2 sounds believable

    Ellison said the date.
    It's in the scene where Karen is searching the newspaper archives to find out when Frank's family was murdered. Ellison comes in, reads the date on a newspaper she was looking at and talks about a gang shooting he tried to get into the papers.

    There was a distinct priest deficit in season 2. I really wanted more of that character. I loved his monologue about the devil in S1.

    okay the only solid date I can find is a death report in daredevil 2.1 that dates the irish gang shooting to july 21 2015

    so yeah you could say daredevil 1 late 2014, jessica jones early 2015, daredevil 2 mid to late 2015

    They seem to be taking place when the shows are actually filming, which is probably convenient for a couple reasons

    Hahaha

    Apparently when Bendis went around and asked the various writers where their characters would fall in the Civil War 2 conflict it worked out pretty evenly for the most part

    Except everyone wanted their character to be the one that switches sides because of course a writer would

    Also apparently the event wasn't originally made to be Civil War 2, it had a different title and the SVP of Publishing requested the name change

    Episode 5, about half way through the episode.
    April 14th is the week the gang shooting happened.

    Catching up on Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men, listened to one from back in October with Dennis Hopeless where he explains why Quentin isn't on the team in All-New X-Men, and I like his reason. Basically he does want him on the team at some point, but feels that not enough has been done to develop Idie/Oya's character and wants to give her some time on the team to grow without her ex-boyfriend around, as Quentin's personality tends to overshadow others.

    That said, a "the old folks are letting their dumb bullshit get in the way of being heroes, let's show them how it's done" X-Book is such a perfect fit for Quire that it would be a crime if he didn't join eventually.

    I mean, I didn't really find any.of those jokes funny (or think they really needed to be) but if someone did I guess the movie would be more light hearted.

    I refuse to believe that you didn't think the list of stuff Cap needed to catch up on was hilarious.

    But yeah.

    Even the Nolan Batman movies had plenty comedic relief in them. For pacing reasons and also because Michael Caine has some great timing.
