My personal theory on how Spider-Man: Far From Home and most future MCU movies will work...

Or you know, Ned, Flash and MJ all got dusted and that's the only reason they're all still in high school. Doesn't really matter if it takes place in 2023+, they can easily say all the movies released until 2024 take place in 2023 or before 2018. Once a mere 4 years have passed in the real world, they can easily let the timeline sync up with the real world.

I always wondered how the PTB decided who got dusted...put all the names in a hat and pull half except for the original 6?

Thing is it's not just Ned and MJ that must have been dusted for Far From Home to work in that context but also Aunt May, Flash Thompson, Betty Brant and didn't I see the teacher from the first movie in the Far From Home trailer too. Even if we just assume that everyone in Peter Parker's immediate circle all got dusted so their timelines match a lot of the appeal of the MCU is that it takes place in the "real world" with the same real world and cultural events occurring that seems hard to buy in a now that we have had 50% of it's people dead for the past five years, massive disasters like planes falling out of the sky, governments falling etc. Far From Home certainly doesn't "feel" like a movie set post all this happening. That's why I think it might be better to pull together vague explanation of how that can be might be in order particularly if Far From Home is now being promoted as some kind of Endgame epilogue.

Nebula was spared because she would serve as a plot point for Thanos to infiltrate and has inside knowledge of him. War Machine was sparred as the diverse character because he was injured in Captain America 3: Civil War so he was given this. She was introduced after,but I suppose she counts. There are also those who can count as sparred by some but don't count as heroes by others like Black Panther's guard or Iron Man's wife or the rock creature from Ragnarok, not costumed heroes,but sparred and may participate in the final battle,but meh. Of all the heroes sparred Rocket stood out to me. I did not know he was still alive, he may have driven a space ship,but he did not need to be sparred for that. Peter Parker had the longest erasing because he is the most popular character, heck its the main character I went to see. He was dusted likely to give emotional weight of failure to Iron Man. The task was made much more difficult by having Hank Pym turned to dust instead of Scott Lang and Dr. Strange also being turned to dust. If those two survived it would not have taken all that time to do what they did to Thanos, but succeed without Peter Quill going emo. I would have liked to have seen Star Lord survive just because of the blame he would feel and it would bring maturity to his character that he lost while being whisked away into space.I would have sparred him over Rocket.

Ten minutes until Endgame! Review/thoughts will follow after the movie ends. Can't wait! Also, I'm wearing my McD's Endgame hat, and my Stan Lee memorial shirt.

Probably mostly to due with maximizing their movie contract deals for the big names. The headliner names were the most likely to bow out so that they could minimize their role in Endgame and save those names for future movies.

I think my favorite thing about this movie was how everyone had a part to play. It was awesome seeing some of my favorite comic moments on screen, like

That part with all the ones mentioned in the spoiler above was my least favorite part. Too obvious and seemed forced.

ALL of the time travel stuff was a huge headache and is just kinda "go with it" by the end of the movie.
What it means for specific characters, though... we'll have to wait and see. As for... Spoiler:

This was a good conclusion to the MCU for me. Though I wasn't happy with some of the creative choices, but I loved the action scenes. As far as I am concerned, this is the end of following the MCU as a whole for me. The only films I plan on seeing are GOTG vol 3, Dr. Strange 2, and Shang Chi. I never cared much for cinematic universes, and this is a good jumping off point for me. Still, congratulations to the entire MCU cast and crew, for the past 11 years. It's been a blast.
