#but I'm going full murderboard right now

[fazedlight]

Me, naively: This will be a simple one-shot

Me, two weeks later: I need to draw up a timeline for season 5 from this particular character's perspective

[mrcspectr]

OH. Oh I just had a thought. I was just looking at Marvel timelines, and … Multiverse of Madness takes place in November 2024 (after Halloween that year), and Werewolf By Night takes place after MoM (according to the recent Marvel Updates tweet), but presumably around Halloween time… That could mean that it’s set a year later in October 2025. Which would mean that it takes place after the events of Moon Knight, which are set in early 2025.

Could that mean… Is that why in the FYC interview, Mohamed said “very soon” and Oscar said “yeah” and then had to backtrack with a shrug… Maybe Marvel is just playing fast and loose with their timelines, and Werewolf is set in 2024. Maybe I’m just being way too literal, and reading too much into things, and I’m completely off the rails…

I’m whispering this very quietly in case Marvel hears me and kills my dreams but…

(If there is a Moon Knight reference in Werewolf By Night … could it possibly be Jake who’s in the Moon Knight suit??)

My brain is now spinning in circles.

Okay but why is the Marvel timeline like this, honestly I'd have to have a goddamn murderboard put together with red string just to keep it all straight??

I might do that, actually. Anyway.

This.. does make sense because then Hawkeye was right before Christmas in 2024, Moon Knight at the beginning of 2025. And the thing is, if there did happen to be a Moon Knight appearance in Werewolf by Night, and we're correct in figuring our timeline here.. And we'd have to be, if they've already confirmed it's post MoM?

I'M GOING INSANE THOUGH HOLD ON. I can't believe I'm doing this rn. Spoilers for the Werewolf by Night rumor under the read more:

I'm literally freaking out about a rumored mention of Moon Knight on the news in a completely different show so if that's really all we get, whatever like it's not even an APPEARANCE. BUT. BUUUUT. I'll accept this because there are IMPLICATIONS. TWO OPTIONS.

This is Jake Lockley. I mean, both options involve him somehow and I'm NOT just saying that because of who I am as a person lskdgjslkgjs. BUT as far as who'd be fronting in that news clip, this very much would almost have to be Jake if we see nothing new between now and then. I don't think he'd have his own suit yet, unless they play around with what his might look like and give him something completely different then what we're all expecting. I don't think they'll do that though, I think they'll be pretty dead set on the black and white armor for post. I don't know what to call it, revelations, maybe? Post meeting? To give him a certain level of independence and distinction between Marc and Steven while wearing the armor.

This is all of them, coconscious, deciding on one person's armor. All three present, doing what they do best; saving people. While this would actually make my heart so full, I'm.. not leaning towards this one at all just because we'd have to get through a LOT of story to get to that point. And I'd be pretty upset if we didn't get to see that journey between the three of them, it's kind of the whole point, you know?

IDK MAN I AM JUST. Squinting at Diab's "very soon" comment that seemed a little too quick and completely out of the blue compared to everything else they've said. And Oscar's suspicious eyebrows every time someone asks. In the meantime, I'm gonna continue to look like this:
