I ask, because, at the beginning of Black Panther, he is watching the death of his dad on the BBC as if it only happened a few days ago.

In addition, in Dr. Starnge, the good doctor has the chance to work ont eh test pilot of a Hammer suit in Iron Man 2.

Things like that.

I thought that the person with the spinal injury was Falcon after the events of Captain America Civil War?

Dr. Strange specifically happens over a pretty significant length of time. The end mostly happens when the movie was released, but the years of searching for a way to fix his hands happened, well, years earlier.

Black Panther can probably happen earlier than when the movie was released, but its also just kind of narrative device. They're not super strict with the timeline, but Infinity War is supposed to take place 6 years after the attack on New York in Avengers, so its roughly running in real time.

Spiderman's 8 years later has been called out as a mistake.

Well, Warmachine was injured in Civil War, not Falcon. And I agree it was likely the Hammer suit from Ironman 2 as it would have been several years ago.

Lots of people seem to think that, but it was called out to be one of the hammer suit pilots (the one from the senate inquiry video in IM2 - the one where Hammer says "He lived".) due to the timing of the movie. Dr Strange takes place over several years (you don't magically get better at magic instantly. Although with the time stone it could seem that way) "real time".

That was not dr strange gettingva call about that test pilot. They confirmed its unrelated.

Phase 1 besides iron man 1 all have their major events take place within about a week. There is a tie in comic called furys big week where he keeps bouncing around. They found cap in the ice. On monday. Hulk smashed that block in ny on tuesday.

Outside of that the movie all pretty much end their narrative in real time. Dr strange obviously takes place over the course of a years. But it ends at the year of its release. There are a few minor exceptions to this (guardians of the galaxy) but mostly it holds up.

I finally saw Infinity War. It was basicaly a Marvel origin story for Thanos, and everyone else just happened to be in it. Thanos is the character that followed the "Hero's Journey".

Edit: Also, I am unsure how I feel about how all the stories flowed together. Nothing really gel-ed and if these characters hadnot had movies before, this would not have worked at all.

Also, anyone know what happened to Wong? He left to protect the Sanctum after the battle in New York.

In comics they almost never 'beat Thanos' that is they don't punch him till he falls down. Instead he gains ultimate cosmic power then learns he's not worthy and loses it all.

So the solution might be for the Avengers to somehow teach that lesson and Thanos himself to undo everything.

I really like the end of Infinity Guantlet with Thanos' suit used as a scarecrow and Thanos tending a farm.

(alas that plot twist got old after six or seven sequels, ah commerce...)

Saw it last night. It was okay, Thanos being the highlight, and the Guardians having the best lines, etc. Didn't blow me away, but I wasn't expecting it to.

Yeah I think Gamora is going to be the lynch pin. Thanos will be taught that it wasn't worth it. The recurring theme they were taking about with Vision coming up again.
