Confused, she opens her eyes and sees the yellow biplane with blue and red accents. She memorizes the details of the plane, determined to be able to identify it.
* Danvers attempts to pick a radio station to listen to for the rest of the car ride when black car whizzes by her at a fast speed, followed by a blue Honda.

Danvers catches up to the Honda and see that has a banged up side.
* The Honda driver communicates to Danvers that the driver of the black car had hit her car and fled. Danvers grows mad and tells the woman to follow her. She then drives off at top speeds, taking a shortcut. Around the mountains, State Trooper Wright turns on her lights, trying to pull Danvers over, but she does not listen.

* The Honda pulls up, and the driver tells Wright that the Jaguar driver had hit her car. Wright tells Danvers to sit on the curb while she arrests the man, has his car impounded, and helps the Honda driver work to get the car fixed. Danvers and the Honda driver wave to each other, and Wright approaches Danvers, preparing to arrest her for breaking five laws. Danvers argues that what she did was right and worries about ruining her first day before it starts. Seeing a young woman with her whole life ahead of her, Wright lets off Danvers with a warning, leaving her a note which says "Let yourself learn." She explains that she needs to learn before making impulse decisions, and Danvers agrees to listen to her advice.
* Danvers finally gets to the base where she and her peers immediately get yelled at by their superiors, struggling to hide her excitement. She meets Officer Jenks who has her and other recruits recite their Oath of Enlistment. Danvers closes her eyes and gets distracted by her excitement, causing Jenks and Officer Cadet Chen to berate her for not leaving with the rest of the flight. Jenks berates Chen and comments that they would just let anyone into the program, regarding the two women.
* Chen escorts Danvers to rejoin her flight, and Officer Cadet Resendiz looks at Chen apologetically. Danvers gets into the line to get a haircut, but does not need one as she had spent two years ensuring her hair was long enough for a bun which was up to code.

* Towards the end of the day, Danvers and her flight are brought to retrieve their luggage and then brought to their dormitories. Stopping in from of a room, Chen introduces Danvers to Maria Rambeau.

#### 7th

* Maria Rambeau wakes up at 3 AM to get an early jog in before the first day of camp. Carol Danvers wakes up twenty-three minutes later to find Rambeau tying her shoelaces.

Rambeau replies that if she gets ready in seven minutes then she can. Danvers jumped up to get ready, but her ticket from Wright fell out of her bag. Rambeau gives it back to Danvers, who explains that Wright advised her to let herself learn. Rambeau suggested that "let yourself learn" meant that she had to learn herself, which Danvers says she had not considered.
* The two begin running at a nice pace so that they do not burn out before the camp begins. Danvers looks around and examines her peers. She notes that Tom Bianchi had formed a group with Garrett Pierre and Erik Del Orbe, believing themselves to be the best, and catches Bianchi trying to measure up Danvers and Rambeau.

Danvers and Rambeau talk about Bianchi's reaction to losing, and Danvers remarks to Rambeau that Bianchi could be as boring as he wants as long as he does not get in the way of her piloting. Bianchi overhears this and gets into an argument with Danvers, saying that she could come in first all she wants, but will never be a pilot like him. Chen calls Bianchi and Danvers in to the group, so they break up their argument.
* During breakfast, Rambeau asked if Danvers really wanted to fly combat. Danvers replies that she does and gets angry, so Rambeau gives her bread to scream into , letting out her anger. Rambeau asks if she feels better, but Danvers does not, suggesting that Bianchi could be wrong if they prove themselves to be the best. Rambeau tells suggests the Flying Falcons, but is interrupted by a superior before she can elaborate.
* In their dorm room, they continue their talk. Rambeau shows Danvers a pamphlet for the elite squadron of flyers known as the Flying Falcons.

### August

#### 3rd

* Maria Rambeau and Carol Danvers eat breakfast in preparation of field day, when their flight will form a squadron with upperclassmen to compete. Danvers reveals that she learned that Captain Jenks leads the Flying Falcons, suggesting that he would not be able to turn them away if they win Honor Squadron. Rambeau insists that they would need to win for themselvse, not to prove something to Jenks, though Danvers gets her to agree to make it twenty percent about Jenks. The two women play through how would they approach Jenks.
* Danvers, Rambeau, Tom Bianchi, Garrett Pierre, and Erik Del Orbe are put on a squadrom together known as the Aggressors. As the trainees prepare for opening ceremonies, Chen and Resendiz explain the schedule and remind the cadets which activities they will participate in.

The five agree to call a truce for the sake of winning.
* Danvers observes Bret Johnson barking orders at his team and deciding to participate in events himself, causing his squadron to fall behind while the Aggressors stand out.
* Johnson gets mad at Danvers' squadron for being ahead and asks Danvers if she should be playing softball or figure skating. Danvers replies asking if he wants to get beat at those too, which gets a laugh from Bianchi. Bianchi asks if he used to sound like Johnson. Danvers responds by talking about her experience as a waitress when a baby cries and would only stop when another baby is crying louder. Danvers says this makes the baby realize how it is acting, comparing Bianchi to the baby.
* The upperclassman in charge of the Aggressors asks whether to place Danvers first or last, so Danvers confidently tells him to put her last and notes that Captain Jenks is watching. The race begins, and Danvers watches the upperclassman compete in the first leg, finishing third place. Bianchi competes in the third leg as Johnson snarkily wishes Danvers luck, but Danvers ignores him. Johnson is given the baton and leaves, then Bianchi gives Danvers the baton and she starts running. She runs past Johnson easily and wins.
* At the end of Field Day, the Aggressors are named Honor Squadron. The cadets all celebrate and congratulate each other, and Danvers and Bianchi smile at each other.
* Rambeau and Danvers see Jenks and approach him. Jenks takes a moment to remember his first interaction and becomes embarassed, choosing to compliment Rambeau on her leadership in the tug-of-war. They talk about their plans to sign up for the Flying Falcons, so Jenks simply says they need a private pilot's license. Rambeau and Danvers explain that they do not have the licenses, so Jenks says that the Flying Falcons need ground support before walking off. The two briefly worry before agreeing that they would find a way.

Despite her best attempt, Danvers does not manage the jump and falls to the dirt below. The other trainees laugh, with one standing over her and saying they will never let her fly. Refusing to let herself be humiliated, she picks herself up to stand up to the other trainees. On the seventh try, Danvers is able to scale a six-foot wall.

As they arrive at the site, they are taught about their gear and told about possible scenarios that could occur during training. They try to get in line, knowing the chemicals get worse as it goes on, but Erik Del Orbe cannot zip his zipper. Rambeau and Danvers are forced to wait for him as Tom Bianchi helps his wingman. As the flight lines up, Danvers reminds herself that she can do anything for ten minutes, and Rambeau agrees.
* The group walks in as the smoke starts filling the room and elevate their heart rates as gas starts to fill the room. Danvers immediately feels the pain in her neck and tries to stay calm. At the orders of her commanding officer, she puts the mask to her chest and recites her reporting statement before making a T with her arms and walking out.
* Danvers and Rambeau step out of the room. They go on their two lap walk that they were required to do as tears come out of their eyes. They notice Garrett Pierre hurled over on the ground puking violently. Rambeau asks Danvers if she is okay, noticing Pierre, but not going up to him. On the second lap, they see Pierre in the same position and walk over to him. They help Pierre to his feet and carry him off.
* Everyone eats their meal while Pierre jokes that the exercise finally took away his cold. Rambeau admits to worrying about that training since before she enlisted. Pierre said the same thing, referring to Rambeau by her last name. Rambeau introduces herself and Danvers with their first names, and Pierre does the same, realizing that he did not know anyone's first name. Danvers notes that they would not call each other their first names anyways.
* Bianchi and Del Orbe arrive, asking to join. Rambeau and Danvers introduce themselves with their first names, and Del Orbe and Bianchi do the same. Hearing that Bianchi's name is "Tom," everyone states that they would not have expected that, joking about names they would have expected, such as Brock, Chip, and Lance.

As Danvers' squadron presents themselves, Danvers turns to Rambeau and restrains herself from screaming with excitement.
* Finally graduated, Danvers and the rest of the class celebrate and hug. Chen and Resendiz deliver parting words, and Erik Del Orbe excitedly hugs Danvers and Garrett Pierre. Tom Bianchi and Danvers congratulate each other, and Bianchi looks away from Danvers as he admits that he was wrong about her. Danvers asks him to clarify, but he only manages to repeat his words. Danvers realizes that she wanted to rub her success in Bianchi's and Jenks' faces, reminding herself of Wright's suggestion to let herself learn. She explains that she did not realize that in order to be a good pilot, she also needs to be a good human, expressing hope that she does not lose her integrity.

#### 19th

* Maria Rambeau and Carol Danvers leave the United States Air Force Academy and drive towards Rambeau's plan to get a private pilot's license. Danvers gets worried as Rambeau attempts to find a good song to listen to. Danvers attempts to force herself to relax, causing Rambeau to ask what she is doing. The pair joke about Danvers' inability to relax. The car passes the intersection where Danvers was pulled over by Wright, so Danvers thinks about thanking the state trooper for her motivation. They share their experiences being belittled for their spirit, and Danvers confesses that she wants to prove people wrong. Rambeau advises Danvers to get out of her own head as they arrive at their destination.
* Danvers and Rambeau hear the engine of a plane flying overhead, and Danvers recognizes it as the plane she failed to identify on her first day at the Academy. They admire the plane as it lands. As the pilots leave the plane, Danvers get excited to learn that one is a woman. The pair cheerfully greet Rambeau, who introduces them to Danvers as Jack Thompson and Bonnie Thompson, saying they flew with Rambeau's father. Danvers asks about the plane, which Jack calls *Mr. Goodnight* and says that Danvers and Rambeau will be flying it.
* Danvers, Rambeau, and the Thompsons go into the hangar, where Bonnie reveals that she was not allowed to be a fighter pilot. Danvers and Rambeau share their plan to join the Flying Falcons in order to change the United States Air Force's mind about letting them fly, and the Thompsons deliberate before agreeing to help the women get their license. However, Jack says they have to learn integrity first and tells them to clean *Mr. Goodnight*.
* As Rambeau and Danvers clean, the Thompsons give them insight on what each part of the plane does, which Danvers appreciates. Jack takes apart *Mr. Goodnight'*s engine, and Danvers feels a sense of belonging.
* A few hours later, Rambeau and Danvers made their way back to their dorms, agreeing about how dirty they had gotten.

They start running, and and Bianchi asks where Danvers and Rambeau were the day before. Danvers contemplates whether she wants to say it, but decides not to. Thinking he overstepped, Bianchi apologizes, but Danvers assures him it is purely out of worry she would jinx it. She then catches up to Rambeau, who is skeptical of Danvers' decision.
* At 5:00 A.M. local time, the group return to their dormitory buildings to shower. Danvers and Rambeau run into Zoë Noble.

* Danvers listens to Wolff who, to her surprise, asks her to go into the cockpit. Danvers feels a surge of excitement as she guides her hands through each piece of the plane. Wolff asks what Danvers sees, so Danvers replies that she sees power. However, Jenks suddenly appears and says that he sees restraint. Wolff and Jenks disagree on whether liberation can be found in the cockpit, and Jenks and starts subtly speaking ill of Danvers. Wolff defends her, which Danvers greatly appreciates as Jenks leaves and Danvers exits the plane.

* Danvers attends the rest of her classes for the day, focusing on what it felt like to be in the cockpit.

Rambeau joins them, realizing that Danvers had told Bianchi about their lessons, and Bianchi tells Del Orbe and Pierre. Del Orbe jokes about having been right in his guess that they were watching planes and the group speculates about the reason for *Mr. Goodnight'*s name.
* The group walks toward the dining hall and see Jenks, all standing to attention in response. Jenks tells Danvers that he expects the air show the following day to be educational for her and to observe the difference between herself and the pilots. He suggests it should only take a cursory glance, and the group salutes as he leaves. The group check on Danvers as she struggles to support herself, and Danvers asks why Jenks hates her. Del Orbe assures that it is because she's the best, and Bianchi adds that Jenks believes himself to be protecting the sanctity of the Air Force.

* The United States Air Force Thunderbirds prepare their performance, and Danvers becomes determined to touch one of the planes. Danvers and the rest of the group realize that all of the pilots look like Captain Jenks, so Pierre brings up Lloyd "Fig" Newton, a black pilot who joined the Thunderbirds and did not look like Jenks, giving inspiration to Danvers and Maria Rambeau. The Thunderbirds perform, impressing the crowd. Bianchi, Del Orbe, and Pierre leave to talk to Glenn while Danvers and Rambeau meet one of the Thunderbirds, who wishes that his daughter could see women who were cadets. The Thunderbird becomes surrounded by kindergartners, so Danvers and Rambeau take the opportunity to touch the plane.

Danvers successfully does the maneuver and uses the air horn to celebrate, and Thompson has her do it three more times. Danvers lands the plane, and Thompson asks Danvers if she is proud of herself.

Danvers recognizes that she was wrong about Bianchi, who then goes to his group.
* Captain Jenks sees Danvers and scolds her for having the notebook as Noble appears and freezes in horror. Danvers claims that the notebook is hers, and Jenks asks whether she still believes Cadet Instructor Wolff to be correct about Danvers' ability to be taught. Danvers says that at a cursory glance, Danvers does not appear to fit in with the United States Air Force Thunderbirds, but that further exploration reveals Jenks to be a relic. Jenks scolds Danvers about "relic" not being an accurate word, so Danvers gets angry and claims that she and Maria Rambeau had gotten their private pilot's licenses and would be trying out for the Flying Falcons. Jenks declares his intention to prevent them from trying out and leaves. Danvers struggles to make it through class.
* At the end of class, Danvers apologizes to Rambeau, who scolds Danvers for continuing to believe that Jenks' way is the only way. Rambeau tells Danvers that she needs to figure it out on her own before walking away to join Bianchi and Garrett Pierre. Noble appears and asks for notebook, telling Danvers that she did not have to lie to Jenks. Noble takes a piece of paper out of the notebook and offers it to Danvers, showing her what she was protecting. Danvers looks at the paper and sees a drawing made by Noble as a young girl of herself as an astronaut. Noble takes the picture back and asks if Danvers will be okay, and Danvers says that she is working on it.
* Danvers goes to where her friends are sitting in the mess hall, finding them arguing about whose family has the best food. Danvers sits next to Rambeau, causing an awkward silence which Rambeau breaks by continuing the argument, smiling at Danvers. Danvers listens silently and berates herself for risking her friendship. The group walks to the library, but Danvers leaves to think alone. She sits on a boulder behind the mess hall and tries to get her to focus on why she feels sad and scared. Danvers paces, hoping to find a way to apologize to Rambeau, but cannot see a path for herself. She determines that while Jenks' way could help her feel validation, she needed to find her own way to do things.
* Danvers returns to her sleeping quarters and finds Rambeau in there, wanting to be there when Danvers returned. Danvers starts to apologize for revealing their plans to Jenks, but Rambeau says that she was not upset about that. Rambeau and Danvers realize that Wolff's beliefs about whether Danvers can be taught is similar to Wright's advice to let oneself learn, and that both ideas are scary. Rambeau shares her realizes that they can get the validation they wanted from Jenks from each other, and the two hug. The two agree that they will never fit in with Jenks' world and that it is a good thing.

They go to the track, worried about the results, and meet with Tom Bianchi, Erik Del Orbe, and Garrett Pierre, who briefly worry about another fight between them. Del Orbe suggests opening both at once, but Danvers gets worried that only one passed. Bianchi loses patiences and takes the envelopes, opening them and revealing that they both passed.
* The group celebrates, but Danvers notices that something is wrong with Bianchi. Danvers pulls Bianchi aside, and he shares his concern that despite her and Rambeau being the best flyers and him being a distant third, he is upset that he knows he is more likely to make the Flying Falcons than they are. Danvers says that she and Rambeau already know, so Bianchi asks why they would bother to try out. Danvers says that it feels like the right thing to do, and the pair return to their friends, who had been joined by Zoë Noble. Bianchi asks if Danvers will think less of him for making the team, but Danvers assures him that she will not. Bianchi voices hope that he can influence change from the inside, and Danvers agrees he can do it.
* That afternoon, Rambeau and Danvers find the place to sign up for the Flying Falcons, and Danvers compliments the eyeshadow of the receptionist. The receptionist gives them the signup sheet, and Danvers and Rambeau realize that of the seventeen people, all are men except the two of them.

Bianchi flies gracefully and lands without bouncing the plane, making the other airmen nervous. Bianchi exits the cockpit and salutes Wolff before returning to his seat with pride.

They get clearance, and Danvers takes off and takes the plane to the appropriate altitude.
* Jenks asks why Danvers is trying out, prompting her to claim that she is the best and therefore she has earned the right to do so. Jenks tries to end the tryout, claiming that Danvers is unsuitable for the United States Air Force, insulting her. Jenks claims to be giving Danvers a gift and lets the plane fall, reducing the power to idle. However, Danvers performs a power-off stall, saving the plane, and tells Jenks that despite being emotional and impulsive, she allows herself to learn, suggesting she try it. Danvers lands the plane as Jenks remains silent.
* Rambeau, Danvers, and Bianchi go to Jack and Bonnie Thompson's hangar to celebrate the tryouts with Garrett Pierre and Erik Del Orbe.

Danvers is reminded of Wright's advice to let herself learn and tells the rest of the group about her experience with Wright. Jack and Bonnie gift each of the airmen with a silver dollar from the year they were born, which Del Orbe notes had been rubbed smooth.

12. ↑ 12.0 12.1 12.2 12.3 12.4 12.5 12.6 In *Guardians of the Galaxy*, it is shown that the Kidnapping of Peter Quill was "1988", and then the Battle of Morag was "26 years later". The Battle of Morag is dated as August 1, 2014, ideally putting the Kidnapping of Peter Quill around August 1, 1988. In *Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2*, it is shown that Ego and Meredith Quill spent a day together in "1980", and then the Battle on Sovereign was "34 years later". The Battle on Sovereign is dated as October 17, 2014, ideally putting this scene around October 17, 1980. However, Quill is at least 8 years old at his kidnapping, plus realistically at least two weeks to keep his mother's death clear from his birthday. At a realistic maximum, Meredith Quill is 8 weeks pregnant in the 1980 scene, putting at least 30 weeks between that scene and Peter's birth. If the 1980 scene were October 17th, the earliest Peter could be born is May 15, 1981. If the 1988 scene were August 1st, the latest Peter could be born is July 18, 1980. The average of these two dates is December 15, 1980, putting the date of the 1980 scene as May 19th, and the 1988 scene as December 29th. Peter's clothing at his kidnapping indicates the 1988 scene should not be any earlier than early-to-mid-November. So with that at the latest date of November 10, 1988, this would put Peter's birthday around October 27, 1980, and the 1980 scene at March 31, 1980. This is all somewhat corroborated by James Gunn in a Twitter post. This is further corroborated in *Magnum Opus* when Quill is shown to have an *ALF* comic, which is shown to have released on "4 JUN," in space, suggesting he was kidnapped after the comic's release.
13. ↑ In *You Know My Steez*, a flashback is shown of Willis training Carl at boxing. In the background is a notice about an event coming up on "Friday November 15" (which would be 1996) and then "Monday 6-10 January" (1997), placing this around early November 1996. It is shown in *Take It Personal* that in May of whichever year (it refers to the car being a "1993" model, so at least 1994 or 1995 to refer to it as such), when Willis was 18 and Carl was 17, they stole a 1993 corvette. It can be assumed, considering the fact that the actors already look older than 16 and 18 in the November 1996 flashback and Mike Colter's age at the times of filming suggesting Luke would have turned 17 around the early 1990s, as well as the way the brothers' story is told, it can be assumed that they stole the car in the first May after the November 1996 flashback, May 1997. In *Take It Personal*, Luke says, "He was 2 years older than me," and in *Now You're Mine*, Willis says, "And everything was good until the preacher's wife, 2 years later, had a baby boy." With the paper saying they are 17 and 18 in May 1997, it can be assumed that they are about 1 year and 10 months apart in age, with Carl having just turned 17 and Willis about to turn 19, placing their dates of birth in April 1980 and June 1978 respectively.

This suggests that he was born between September 17, 1980 and September 7, 1981. His birth can therefore be approximated to the midpoint of these dates, March 13, 1981.

81. ↑ In *Captain Marvel: Higher, Further, Faster.*, the narrative says, "I follow Chen to the area where the women can opt for a short cut-unless, like me, they have spent the last two years growing their hair out so that it'll all pull back into a tight bun that's a maximum of three inches in circumference and doesn't touch the top of the collar." This line is during a scene set July 6, 1984 (see other references), so it can be taken that Danvers started growing out her hair in July 1982.

With James being 33 on June 20, 2016, he would have been born between July 23 and August 22, 1982. His date of birth can be approximated to the midpoint of this range, August 7, 1982.

This means they met at age 14, both around the same age. Based on a weighted average working with this information, Anson Mount, Serinda Swan, Eme Ikwuakor, Iwan Rheon, and Isabelle Cornish's ages at the middle of filming for *Inhumans*: Season 1, working back from when it is set, as well as Lofton Show, Aidan Fiske, and Leila Bootsma's ages at the middle of filming for the show, the characters' dates of birth would be Black Bolt around October 1982, Medusa around April 1983, Gorgon around May 1985, Maximus around June 1985, and Crystal around September 1991, with Black Bolt and Medusa meeting when Medusa is nearly 14½ and Black Bolt is about to turn 15, in September 1997.

91. ↑ In *The Star-Spangled Man* and *Truth*, it is said that Isaiah Bradley was held in prison for "thirty years" after his imprisonment in 1952. Since Bradley was broken out of prison rather than released, this does not necessarily refer to "exactly thirty years," but could also refer to "three decades later," so in the 1980s, or "during the thirtieth year after," so during 1982. A weighted calculation would place his escape on approximately November 20, 1982.
92. ↑ Based on Lucia Scarano's age when filming the first season of *She-Hulk: Attorney at Law/Season One* and working back from the setting of her episode, Cheryll would have been born in approximately March 1980 if she was killed in the Snap and August 1985 if she was not. Her birth can therefore be approximated to the midpoint of these dates, December 1982.
93. ↑ Based on Ben Barnes' ages at the times of filming *The Punisher*: Season 1 and 2 and working back from the settings of each season, Billy Russo would have been born around July 1981. However, Russo's date of birth is given as "11/19/1977" on Marvel's The Punisher Online Auction Lot #144: Billy Russo's Tooth and Accessories, "12/03/82" on Marvel's The Punisher Online Auction Lot #218: Frank Castle's Hospital Gown with Three Billy Russo Hospital Bracelets, and "09/10/83" on Marvel's The Punisher Online Auction Lot #186: Billy Russo's Plain White Mask and Hospital File. Given December 3, 1982 is the closest option to July 1981, as well as the fact that it is the median of these three dates, Russo can be taken to have been born on this date.

With his death dated to June 2001 (see 2000s references), Watten would have been born between June 1983 and June 1984, so approximately December 1983. Josh Pafcheck was 25 at the time of filming, however, suggesting Watten was born earlier in that range, so his date of birth may ultimately be approximated to September 1983.

122. ↑ In *Captain Marvel*, Akira Akbar, who plays Rambeau in the main events (1995), is credited as "Monica Rambeau (11 Years Old)" (with this also externally confirmed), making Rambeau approximately 11.5. Akira Akbar herself was 11.6 years old during filming, suggesting Rambeau is slightly closer to 11.99 than 11.0. Overall, 1995 Rambeau's appearances would suggest she was born around December 1983.
Azari Akbar, who plays Rambeau in flashbacks (late 1980s), is credited as "Monica Rambeau (5 Years Old)", making Rambeau approximately 5.5. Azari Akbar herself was 6.7 years old during filming, suggesting Rambeau is slightly closer to 5.99 than 5.0. Working forwards from December 1989, her appearances would then be around mid-1989. They cannot be later than June 21, 1989, with Danvers disappearing on June 22, 1989 (see **1980s** references) and the appearances set before then.
Two photos are shown of Azari Akbar's 5-year-old Monica Rambeau in the film: one from a Halloween, and one from a Christmas, both before Danvers' disappearance. So, the closest Halloween and Christmas to the ideal mid-1989 placement for Azari Akbar's appearances, while still being pre-June 22, 1989, are Halloween 1988 and Christmas 1988.
With these then firmly placed, working back from Rambeau being roughly a little over 5.5, this would then suggest Rambeau was born around April 1983. Combined with the aforementioned evidence for around December 1983, taking a weighted calculation, Rambeau's date of birth can then overall be approximated to September 1983. The full details of the calculations may be found here.

127. ↑ In *Time and Again*, pictures of Muneeba Khan are described as being from when she was the age Kamala Khan is during the events of the episode. Kamala is said to be sixteen in *Generation Why*, and Muneeba's birth is approximated to May 1967 (see 1960s references). The photos can therefore be approximated to November 1983.
128. ↑ In *Captain Marvel: Higher, Further, Faster.*, the narrative says that "the driver's-side front door has been busted for months now" as of July 6, 1984 (see other references). "Months" could realistically refer to more than two months and less than a year, meaning the door would have broken between July 1983 and May 1984. The door can therefore be approximated to have broken in December 1983.

With Danvers' birth dated to September 1965 (see 1960s references), this conversation would have occurred between September 1983 and June 1984, during the school year in which Danvers turned eighteen. The midpoint of these dates can be used to approximate the conversation, placing it in January 1984.
134. ↑ 134.0 134.1 In *Cold Steel*, Sarah Lieberman says on November 28, 2016 that she has kissed no one other than David for "15 years", implying that her first kiss with David was 15 years ago, in 2001. David later says that their first kiss was in "junior year", implying they would have been born around 1985. However, Ebon Moss-Bachrach was 39 and Jaime Ray Newman was 38 at the time of filming *The Punisher*: Season 1, set in late 2016, suggesting they were born closer to 1977-1978. Overall, it can be calculated that they were born around February 1984, juniors 2000-2001, and first kissed around February 7, 2001. The details of the calculations can be found here.

With that dated to May 12, 1994 (see 1990s references), he would have been born between May 13, 1984 and May 12, 1985. Him starting college is dated to Fall 2003 (see 2000s references), which would imply he was around 18 at the time, suggesting he was born between September 1, 1984 and August 31, 1985, so overall likely between September 1, 1984 and May 12, 1985. It is implied in *Stick* that Murdock is no longer 9 by his first meeting with Stick, as he refers to being blinded when he was 9. With that scene dated to January 12, 1995 (see 1990s references), this would mean he was 10 by then, so born no later than January 12, 1985, and thus likely between September 1, 1984 and January 12, 1985.
In *Revelations*, Maggie Grace is said in flashbacks to be 3 weeks from taking her vows as a nun when she meets Jack Murdock, and in present day explains when she conceived Matt, she had not yet taken her vows. So, Grace becoming a nun must have been shortly after Matt's conception, about 9 months before his birth. This would mean she became a nun approximately between December 1983 and April 1984. She states in September 2017 (see 2017 references), in *Resurrection*, that she has been a nun for "30 years". So, while she must be rounding down whatever the case, April 1984 works best, and therefore an approximate early January 1985 date of birth for Matt Murdock.
Assuming Murdock's 30th birthday must occur in January 2015 before the events of *Daredevil*: Season 1, the latest Murdock could have been born is January 8, 1985. Assuming his date of birth is around then, 267 days earlier (an average pregnancy from conception to birth) would put Jack Murdock and Maggie Grace sleeping together as around April 16, 1984. Assuming that this was later in the 3-week span between them meeting and Grace becoming a nun, rather than earlier, it can be estimated to around 2 days before her vows (not the day before, as she would likely mention that detail when saying it was before her vows, were that the case). So, Grace becoming a nun can be approximated to April 18, 1984, and her meeting Jack Murdock therefore March 28, 1984.
With Murdock appearing to be roughly 3-4 months old in the scene showing Grace's post-partum depression, this is estimated to 3.5 months after his approximate date of birth, so April 23, 1985.

The ultrasound can therefore be placed 194 days before Romanoff's December 3, 1984 date of birth (see other references), on May 24, 1984.

The Massacre of the Zehoberei's placement is also connected to these calculations, all explained here.
156. ↑ In *Fifteen*, Adam Cooper is shown to have been "18" when he died. With his death dated to December 6, 2002 (see 2000s references), Cooper would have been born between December 7, 1983 and December 6, 1984, so approximately June 1984.

Behind-the-scenes photos for *Captain Marvel* reveal a flashback to Carol Danvers' time in basic training, in which she struggles to climb a rope, as occurring in "1984." This is further supported by *Higher, Further, Faster.*, as during Danvers' basic training, Erik Del Orbe says, "I heard they might be flying the brand-new F-Sixteens instead of those old T-thirty-eights." Although the F-16 Fighting Falcons were introduced in 1978, the F-16C/D variants were introduced in 1984, with the changeover happening in the 1983 season. The first day of processing for recruits in 1984 started on July 6, placing the first day then. Chapter 3 then picks up the following day, followed by Danvers making amends with Tom Bianchi in "week three" of training, placing the scene on July 28, 1984. The rest of the chapter then occurs on what is described as "the final day of First Beast." First Beast lasts twenty-seven days, placing the rest of the chapter on August 3, 1984.

In Chapter 5, one of the trainers yells "You won't last a week!" This suggests that the insult is yelled during the first week of the Second Beast, but the narrative then says, "We're in the thick of Second Beast in Jacks Valley," suggesting it has been several days. It is later said that basic training lasted "thirty-seven days," making the Second Beast ten days long. The three events which occur during the Second Beast: Danvers crawling through mud; Danvers attempting the rope challenge, including the flashback from *Captain Marvel*; and the recuits going through Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear training. The events can be placed among the first five days of the Second Beast, putting them on August 6, 8, and 9, 1984, respectively.

Chapter 6 is then on the final day of Basic Training, placing it thirty-seven days after July 6, so on August 13, 1984. Danvers and Maria Rambeau then meet Jack Thompson and Bonnie Thompson the following Sunday, August 19, and the first day of classes is said to be "tomorrow," placing the latter portion of Chapter 8 as well as Chapter 9 on August 20.
159. ↑ In *Captain Marvel: Higher, Further, Faster.*, Carol Danvers is said to have gotten scolded for dust in her "first dorm inspection." Danvers' time in her residence hall is very limited on her first full day of training, July 7, 1984 (see other references), so it can be taken that dorm inspections started the following day, July 8, 1984.
160. ↑ *Jessica Jones: 2.10: AKA Pork Chop*
161. ↑ In *All Souled Out*, Cockroach Hamilton says he started fighting when he was "8". With his date of birth approximated to March 1976 (see 1970s references), specifically March 4, 1976, the middle of Hamilton's time as an 8-year-old (as an approximation for when he started fighting) would be September 2, 1984.

163. ↑ 163.0 163.1 163.2 In Chapter 10 of *Captain Marvel: Higher, Further, Faster.*, the narrative says, "After weeks of ground lessons with Jack and Bonnie, it's finally time to fly." "Weeks" could refer to between two and seven weeks before becoming "months," suggesting that it has been approximately five weeks after they started their lessons on August 19, 1984 (see other references), placing the chapter's events on September 23, 1984. This aligns with Chapter 11 saying, "We've gone from fall into the beginnings of winter," suggesting that Chapter 10 was still set in the fall.

However, a title card shows the scene to be set in "1984." It can therefore be taken that this game happened four years later than in the real world, and that the deleted scenes are set on October 9th and October 10th, 1984.

167. ↑ Using Deborah Ann Woll's ages at the times of filming *Daredevil*: Seasons 1 and 2, *The Defenders*: Season 1, *The Punisher*: Season 1, *Daredevil*: Season 3, and *The Punisher*: Season 2 and working back from the settings, Karen Page would have been born around February 1985. This partially informs the dating of the flashback events of *Karen* to March 2004 (see 2000s references), with it said to be her gap year, but at the same time other evidence also places it in March 2004, thus suggesting Page graduated high school in Spring 2003, making her most likely born between September 1984 and August 1985, so also around early 1985. On Marvel Television Live Auction Lot #368: Karen Page's New York Bulletin Press Badge and News Agency Identification, it is shown that Page is supposed to be "31" (even though the ID says male, it is intended to be hers) during the main events of *Daredevil*: Season 2 in October-November 2015 (see 2015 references), so likely born around the first half of 1984. Overall, a calculation gives approximately October 1984 for Page's date of birth.
168. ↑ In *Time and Again*, pictures of Muneeba Khan are described as being from when she was the age Kamala Khan is during the events of the episode. Kamala is said to be sixteen in *Generation Why*, and Muneeba's birth is approximated to May 1967 (see 1960s references). The photos can therefore be approximated to November 1983.
169. ↑ In *If It Ain't Rough, It Ain't Right*, it is said that Shades and Comanche met when they were both "7". With Shades being born on May 11, 1977 (stated in *Can't Front on Me*) and Comanche's date of birth approximated to May 1977 (see 1970s references), specifically May 21, 1977, the period when they were both 7 would be May 21, 1984 to May 10, 1985. Approximating with the middle of this period, they likely met around November 14, 1984.

Tom Bianchi then responds, "Three and a half, really almost four." Bianchi first asked on August 20, 1984 (see other references). A weighted calculation places this chapter on December 13, 1984, aligning with the chapter saying "We've gone from fall into the beginnings of winter."

In Chapter 12, the narrative says, "I look over at her beaming face, finally beginning to let go of the lingering stench of yesterday's run-in with Jenks," referring to events from Chapter 11. This places the chapter on December 14. The following chapter then describes Danvers and Maria Rambeau's next lesson with Jack and Bonnie Thompson, which occurs on Sundays, placing the scene on December 16, 1984.
177. ↑ In *Captain Marvel: Higher, Further, Faster.*, Carol Danvers and Maria Rambeau are briefly said to take their private pilot's license tests in Chapter 14. The narrative then says, "I'd been fully expecting him to come back over to me at the next Soaring class and ask if I'd learned anything at the air show like he'd asked," later adding, "But Jenks hasn't so much as looked my way for the last several weeks." This implies that the private pilot's license test, which happened after Danvers and Rambeau's final lesson on the Sunday after the air show, occurred before the next Introduction to Soaring class after the air show. Danvers is shown having Introduction to Soaring on Mondays, so it can be taken that Danvers and Rambeau took the test on Sunday, December 16, after their lesson.
178. ↑ In *The Creator*, it is said that Bushmaster and Sheldon met when they were "11". With both dates of birth approximated to June 1973 (see 1970s references), specifically June 16, 1973 for Sheldon and June 23, 1973 for Bushmaster, the time when they were both 11 would be June 23, 1984-June 15, 1985, so the middle of their shared time as 11-year-olds (as an approximation for when they met) would be December 19, 1984.

A weighted calculation places this chapter, as well as Chapter 15, which is set on the same day, on January 17, 1985.
187. ↑ In *Captain Marvel: Higher, Further, Faster.*, the narrative says, "Without uttering a word, Maria and I have both gone about our days, careful not to disturb or even acknolwedge the envelopes in any way," implying that it was several days before they opened their emvelopes on January 31, 1985 (see other references). They are still waiting during Chapters 14 and 15, which are set on January 17, 1985 (see other references), so they can be taken to have received the results between these chapters, approximately January 24, 1985.
188. ↑ 188.0 188.1 188.2 In Chapter 14 of *Captain Marvel: Higher, Further, Faster.*, the narrative says, "When we asked how long it'd take to get our results, the woman shrugged her shoulders and estimated a month or two. If it takes one month, everything is fine. If it takes two, all this was for nothing." Carol Danvers and Maria Rambeau then receive their envelopes in time to sign up for Flying Falcons tryouts in Chapter 16, placing the events of the chapter between one and two months after they took their tests on the reasoned date December 16, 1984 (see other references). They have class that day, so the events of the chapter can be placed on the nearest weekday to the midpoint of one and two months after the test, placing the chapter on January 31, 1985.
189. ↑ In *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness*, Stephen Strange says that he and Donna Strange were "kids" when Donna died. Stephen's birthday is approximated to August 1976. Children start to form memories at two years old, so this would have happened between then and Stephen's seventeenth birthday. It can therefore be approximated that Donna died on the midpoint of these birthdays, February 18, 1985. This fits with being winter, when a lake would be frozen.

In March 2016 and March 2022, which shared the same days of the week, Recognition spanned Thursday, March 10-Saturday, March 12. At the end of the second day, Carol Danvers realizes that it is "Friday," which fits with Recognition seemingly spanning Thursday-Saturday based on the 2016 and 2022 dates. It can be taken that Recognition occurred on the Thursday-Saturday closest to March 10-12 in 1985, making its events span March 7-9, 1985. Danvers and Rambeau then listen to planes together the following day, March 10, 1985.

On Friday, Jenks posts the results of the Flying Falcons tryouts which occur in Chapter 17. In that chapter, it is said that, "At the end of the week, Jenks will post the names of the two people who have made the team outside of that weird little office with the cool secretary where Maria and I signed up." Later that day, in Chapter 18, Danvers and Maria Rambeau celebrate the tryouts with Jack and Bonnie Thompson, with whom they had been meeting on Sundays. It can therefore be taken that these chapters occur the Sunday prior to Recognition, March 3, 1985.

It can therefore be taken that certain events after the arrival, which are unaffected by the intervention of the time travelers, happened in the main timeline of the *MCU* as well.

195. ↑ Based on Olli Haaskivi's age at the time of filming *The Falcon and The Winter Soldier* and working backward from the setting of his episode, *Power Broker*, considering his disappearance in the Snap for 5 years, 4 months, and 18 days, Wilfred Nagel would have been born in approximately May 1985.
196. ↑ Trish Walker is in the same New York school year as Jessica Jones. With Jones born in 1985 (see other references) and the New York school years being based on calendar year of birth, this means Walker would also be born in 1985, making her date of birth approximately mid-1985 (July 2, 1985). However, a calculation based on Rachael Taylor's age at the times of filming *Jessica Jones*: Season 1, *The Defenders*: Season 1, and *Jessica Jones*: Season 2 and working back from each season's timeline setting, then taking a weighted average, would place Walker's date of birth around March 1984. Since this is a little earlier than mid-1985 and Walker's date of birth is flexible within 1985, it can be assumed that she was born slightly earlier than the approximation of the middle of 1985, around June 1985.
197. ↑ 197.0 197.1 In *Black Widow*, Natasha Romanoff is briefly shown as a baby. She appears to be approximately six months old. A weighted average would place this within the sixth month after she was born on December 24, 1984 (see other references), so on June 7, 1985.

With her being 14 in April 2000, this would mean she was born around October 1985.

211. ↑ In *Fifteen*, Jamie Baxter is shown to have been "18" when he died. With his death dated to June 8, 2004 (see 2000s references), Baxter would have been born between June 9, 1985 and June 8, 1986, so approximately December 1985.
212. ↑ In *AKA The Double Half-Wappinger*, it is said that when Sallinger killed Silva in April 2003 (see 2000s references), he was in "senior year". So, Sallinger's date of birth, by the New York school year cutoff system, would be in 1985. In *AKA I Wish*, Jessica Jones has a file for a "John Smith" among the Sallinger files, with a "12/12/1985" date of birth. Given it is part of Sallinger's files and matches his 1985 year of birth, it can be taken that the "John Smith" name is for an unidentified male subject and refers to Sallinger, making his date of birth December 12, 1985.

219. ↑ Using Meredith Salenger's age at the time of filming *No Good Deed*, working back from the setting, Lily Ellison would have been born around January 1970. However, using Chris Carfizzi's age at the time of filming *No Good Deed*, working back from the setting, Jason Ellison would have been born around April 1975. Jason says Mitchell and Lily Ellison renewed their wedding vows when he was 8, but, using these ages, Lily would have only been around 13. So, Lily Ellison must have been born earlier than January 1970, and Jason later than April 1975. Adjusting so that Lily was at least 18, it can be calculated that Lily was born around January 1968 and Jason late January 1977, with the vows renewed around January 28, 1986, just after Lily turned 18 and before Jason turned 9. The details of the calculation may be found here.
220. ↑ 220.0 220.1 In *For Pete's Sake*, Mariah Dillard reveals that her previous comment about only becoming pregnant with Tilda just before Jackson's death was a lie, and that as Tom Ridenhour commented in *On and On*, her age is also a lie. She reveals that Tilda was already born when she got together with Jackson, just that Jackson's parents did not care as they were delighted that he seemingly was not homosexual. She also reveals that she was engaged at the time of Peter Stokes' death. So, them entering into the relationship and getting engaged is between Tilda's date of birth, approximated to August 1985 (see other references), specifically August 20, 1985, and Peter Stokes' death on April 6, 1987 (see other references). Therefore, them entering into the relationship can be dated to approximately ⅓ between these dates: March 6, 1986, and them getting engaged can be dated to approximately ⅔ between these dates: September 20, 1986.

While this could be taken as graduating high school, Danvers looks to be at least in her 20s, and seems to have an alcoholic drink, which would make her at least 21 since she is in California. It can therefore be taken as graduating college, and since this is likely spring, at least 1986 (with Danvers' date of birth approximated to August 1964, see 1960s references). Using 1986, since this is already 4 years after finishing high school - plausible for finishing college, but any later years become decreasingly plausible. So, approximately May 1986.

Putting more weight in specifically December 1986 than mid-1986, and more weight in mid-1986 than the mid-1980s, it can be calculated that James began her work around August 30, 1986.

The article goes on to say that Stark was presented with the "MIT Robot Design Award," which matches an annual competition held at MIT in January. Stark inventing the robots and winning the award can therefore be placed in January 1987.

247. ↑ In *The Star-Spangled Man*, John Walker says that he was "two years out of West Point when Steve Came back on the scene," referring to when Steve Rogers was unfrozen in October 2011 (see 2011 references). This would mean that Walker graduated from West Point in May 2009. West Point is a four-year school without a graduate program, so Walker was likely in the high school graduating class of 2005, meaning he was in kindergarten in the 1992-1993 school year. In Georgia, where Walker went to high school, the cutoff date to join kindergarten in the 1990s was to be five years old by September 1. This means that Walker was born between September 2, 1987 and September 1, 1988. Walker's birth can therefore be approximated to March 2, 1987.

249. ↑ In *For Pete's Sake*, on August 30, 2017 (see 2017 references), James Lucas says it has "been 30 years" since he "thumped anything harder than a Bible". This would suggest approximately August 30, 1987. However, it may more roughly just mean "2017 - 1987 = 30", so any time in 1987 (using mid-1987 as an approximation), or even more roughly just mean "2010s - 1980s = 30", so any time in the 1980s (using mid-1980s as an approximation). Putting more weight in the specific date than just the year, and more weight in the year than the decade, a weighted calculation gives roughly March 27, 1987 for the last time he threw a punch.
250. ↑ In *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, Doctor Strange says, "And they shot an episode of *The Equalizer* here in the '80s." *The Equalizer* aired from 1985 through 1988, so the filming of this episode can be approximated to April 1987.

257. ↑ In *The Fury of Iron Fist*, Albert says, "When I was 12 years old, I almost joined the Hatchets." With Albert's date of birth approximated to November 1975 (see 1970s references), specifically November 28, 1975, the middle of his time as a 12-year-old (as an approximation for this event) would have been roughly May 29, 1987.
258. ↑ In *Iron Man*, Tony Stark is said to have graduated from MIT "at age 17." With Stark's birthday on May 29, 1970, he would have graduated in 1987. MIT's graduation ceremony in 1987 was held on June 5, 1987.
259. ↑ 259.0 259.1 259.2 In *Wig Out*, Mariah Dillard says, "The day I found out I was pregnant was the day that [Jackson Dillard] was shot and killed by the Contras." It is later revealed that this is a lie, and Tilda Johnson does not know her real age either. However, the timeline must approximately line up with Johnson's fake date of birth to not arouse suspicion. It is said in *For Pete's Sake* that Mariah and Jackson were engage at the time of Peter Stokes' death, which is dated to April 6, 1987 (see other references). So, their wedding, Jackson starting his work in Nicaragua, and Jackson being killed all occur after April 6, 1987, and then about 8 further months occur before Johnson's fake date of birth, meaning that date of birth cannot be earlier than December 1987. Assuming Johnson's birthday was kept the same, just the year changed, then with her real date of birth approximated to August 1985 (see other references), specifically August 20th, then her fake date of birth can be assumed as the first available August 20th after December 1987: August 20, 1988. If Jackson was killed about 242 days prior (the approximate amount of time between a woman finding out she is pregnant and giving birth), for Mariah's lie to be believable, then he would have died around December 21, 1987. The wedding and move to Nicaragua can then be distributed evenly between April 6, 1987 and December 21, 1987, giving approximately July 3, 1987 for the wedding and September 30, 1987 for the move to Nicaragua.

The flashbacks showing a young Ava show Bill Foster through a mix of Laurence Fishburne's son, Langston, 29 at the time of filming, and deageing Laurence Fishburne to how he looked c. 1986, aged 25. Ava is shown to be approximately 7 (RaeLynn Bratten's age at the time of filming). Overall, it can be calculated that Foster was born around July 1965 and Starr around August 1988, and the flashbacks are approximately November 2-4, 1995, when Foster is 30 and Starr is 7.

Wilson's birth is dated to September 23, 1978 (see 1970s references), and since Wilson remembers the incident, it would not be before explicit memories started forming, which happens at two years old. Since Wilson refers to himself as a "kid," the absolute oldest Wilson could have been is 18. Using Wilson's second and eighteenth birthdays as the minimum and maximum, Wilson's aunt's death can be approximated to September 23.
274. ↑ 274.0 274.1 In *The Whole World Is Watching*, Sam Wilson says that ceremony for his aunt lasted "about a week." Since Wilson's aunt's death is approximated to Friday, September 23, 1988 (see other references), the ceremony can be approximated to the during of the following week, Sunday, September 25-Saturday, October 1, 1988.

276. ↑ 276.0 276.1 276.2 In *Captain Marvel*, three instances are shown of a young child Monica Rambeau: a photo of her with Carol Danvers at Halloween, a photo of her with Danvers at Christmas, and a memory of her with Danvers looking at the stars. Judging from Rambeau being credited as 11 in June 1995 and actress Akira Akbar being 11.6 at the time of filming, Rambeau's date of birth would be approximated to December 1983 (see final approximated date of birth, September 1983, references for further explanation).
Azari Akbar is credited as "Monica Rambeau (5 Years Old)", making Rambeau approximately 5.5. Azari Akbar herself was 6.7 years old during filming, suggesting Rambeau is slightly closer to 5.99 than 5.0. Working forwards from December 1989, her appearances would then be around mid-1989. They cannot be later than June 21, 1989, with Danvers disappearing on June 22, 1989 (see other references) and the appearances set before then.
So, the closest Halloween and Christmas to the ideal mid-1989 placement for Azari Akbar's appearances, while still being pre-June 22, 1989, are Halloween 1988 and Christmas 1988. This then also had an effect on finally placing Rambeau's date of birth as September 1983 (see other references).
Finally, placing the memory with the stars, with Azari Akbar credited as playing "Monica Rambeau (5 Years Old)", Rambeau would be approximately 5.5. Again, Azari Akbar herself was 6.7 years old during filming, suggesting Rambeau is slightly closer to 5.99 than 5.0.
With Rambeau's date of birth dated to September 1983, so it can be calculated that this scene takes place around roughly April 25, 1989. The full details of the calculations may be found here.
277. ↑ 277.0 277.1 In *Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline*, Elihas Starr's work with/ousting from Pym and Foster and Mar-Vell's arrival on Earth are placed, in that order, after Peter Quill's abduction, which takes place in November 1988 (see other references). With Mar-Vell well-established at Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. by June 1989 (see other references), it should be taken that she arrived as early as possible in this window: also November 1988. With the Starr events also placed in between, they must also be placed in November 1988.

279. ↑ In *On a Very Special Episode...*, Wanda Maximoff is said to have been born in "1989", though shown on a file to have been born in "1988". The dialogue takes precedence, but it can be assumed that the Maximoffs were born early in 1989 to be as close as possible to fitting both. It is also shown that their parents died the day before "March 31, 1999", and stated in the episode and in *Avengers: Age of Ultron* that the twins were "10" at the time, meaning they were born between March 31, 1988 and March 30, 1989. This would suggest c. September 1988 as an approximation, but again, the "1989" dialogue takes precedence, so early 1989 may be taken as a best approximation.

They then go back to Danvers as a child, but have gone too far back, so go forward and see her doing rope training, presumably some time before the test flight because it is at the training stage, but also because they are trying to narrow down to the right memory. This memory then continues into one with Danvers being belittled in Pancho's Bar and, seemingly the same day (Danvers is in the same T-shirt), her playing pool with Rambeau. This continues into another memory of Pancho's Bar, karaoke. Following this, there is a memory of Danvers as a child watching the stars, then her with the Rambeaus watching the stars. There is no reason the Skrulls would have gone further back than the go karting to see an ever younger Danvers, knowing this to be too far back, so her as a child can be taken as a memory within Danvers' memory of watching the stars with Monica Rambeau, something she recalled as she did it, in which case the stars follows on from the karaoke and is still before the test flight with Maria Rambeau. Norex then finds the moment of Danvers with "Lawson". Since they are narrowing down where the memory is, it should presumably still be between the stars and the test flight.
So, the chronology is the rope scene, then the man and pool at Pancho's, then karaoke at Pancho's, then watching the stars, then Lawson, then the test flight. And we know that, after all of this, was Danvers' crash with Lawson/Mar-Vell and her being abducted by Starforce.
The abduction is said through the film, mostly on June 12, 1995 (see other references), and through external sources, to be both "6 years ago" and in "1989". So, it can be taken to be somewhere between exactly 6 years prior - June 12, 1989 - and the approximation for "1989" of the exact middle of 1989 - July 2, 1989 - making the crash and abduction roughly June 22, 1989.
With the watching the stars dated to April 25, 1989 (see other references) and the abduction dated to June 22, 1989, Lawson and the test flight can be approximated as ⅓ and ⅔ between the two, so May 14, 1989 and June 3, 1989 respectively.

W'Kabi later says, "For 30 years your father was in power and did nothing," referring to Klaue, and to the time that spanned between his attack and T'Chaka's death, dated to June 22, 2016. As well as this, W'Kabi says in a deleted scene, on July 4, 2016, that when it comes to Klaue, for "30 years, there's been no justice". While these pieces of dialogue would imply the attack was around 1987, the film also shows scenes set in "1992" which depict the attack as having been recent. Weighted calculations from all the evidence and factors gives April 24, 1989 as the approximate best-fitting date for the attack, and January 15, 1992 as the approximate best-fitting date for the "1992" scenes. The calculations for these dates and the other events are all relative to each other, and can be found in detail here.

293. ↑ In *Fifteen*, Tim Bennett is shown to have been "16" when he died. With his death dated to December 9, 2005 (see 2000s references), Bennett would have been born between December 10, 1988 and December 9, 1989, so approximately June 1989.
294. ↑ In *Captain Marvel*, Nick Fury says on June 12, 1995 (see 1990s references) that he has "been riding a desk for the past 6 years". This could specifically refer to 6 years prior, roughly June 12, 1989, or more generally "1995 - 6 = 1989", so approximated with mid-1989, July 2, 1989. Putting more weight on specifically 6 years rather than just general, a weighted average gives him starting the job as approximately June 19, 1989.

The story involves Comanche’s mother beating him, implying that Comanche has not yet turned 18, meaning his 18th birthday, May 5, 1994, is the latest possible date for it to happen. Using these two dates as the minimum and maximum, respectively, they would have stolen the hot dogs on August 14, 1989.

The rest of the Ravagers are not aware of Christmas, implying that it is the first Christmas since Quill was abducted on November 10, 1988 (see other references). Since the first Christmas is very close to his kidnapping, it can be taken that Quill did not attempt to celebrate the holiday until the following year, placing the flashbacks on December 24, 1989.
