Some possible stuff

I feel like these articles [1] [2] [3] could be used to show how Endgame was originally thought to be the end of Phase Three. As well as these [4] [5] could be used too to talk about the production and marketing.★Trekker (talk) 16:00, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MCU TV Shows

I want to know why everyone thinks the TV Shows aren't in the MCU. I've watched them all and they clearly are in the MCU. To say otherwise means you haven't really been paying attention. Tinytimm101 (talk) 17:52, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How can people say Agents of Shield and the others aren't in the MCU when they clearly are? I just don't get it. Tinytimm101 (talk) 17:53, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They aren't part of the Phases, which is what this article is about. Perhaps if you don't get it is because you haven't done any research. If you look at List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series, you'll see that all those TV series are included, so no one is say[ing] Agents of Shield and the others aren't in the MCU.

Peak Movie Ranking

@Facu-el Millo: You recently reverted an edit I made.

Original text: "Avengers: Endgame became the highest-grossing film of all time."

My edit: "As of July 2021^[update], Avengers: Endgame is the second highest-grossing film of all time."

You reverted my edit back to the original, noting that "This isn't about the current position, but the peak position".

I disagree with your reasoning.

If it's about the peak position, then the wording is not clear—misleading even. "briefly became" could work, but then we'd need to describe where it landed. My edit describes where it ended up, links to the page where this info originated, and attaches a date.

If we want to save peak position, we can place it a footnote within the article. The way it's currently described is going to mislead people. I'm a native English speaker and it misled me—the wording is unclear and not salvageable.

What's relevant is that the film became the highest-grossing film, regardless of whether it was beaten afterwards. Both statements can be there, but the fact it originally became the highest-grossing film has to stay. —El Millo (talk) 01:12, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, ok, I think we can compromise here. My only problem is that I cannot find a source for it being the top-ranked movie. Shoot that over and I'll happily re-edit with both items combined. I found this article but the #'s are iffy when inflation is taken into account: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/avengers-endgame-is-the-top-grossing-movie-of-all-/1100-6468586/ Dloewenherz (talk) 01:34, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Inflation isn't taken into account when it comes to box office records, at least not for the standard records. Already added a footnote, both in the lead section and in the Box office section, that clarifies Avatar surpassed it. —El Millo (talk) 01:36, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Archive 75#Should we be listing a movie's "peak position" at the box office? for more info. —El Millo (talk) 01:17, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
