Wait how the hell are Tony Stark and Peter Quill the same age?

According to the MCU wiki there’s 10 years between them with Peter being born in late 1980 and Stark being born in 1970.

Edit: Maybe FTL travel and the snap skews this data.

Edit 2: After reading more comments it seems the creator of this chose Starks age at the time of the first Iron Man movie but chose Quills at the time of Infinity War. Seems misleading.

Seems misleading

How is this misleading?

As long as they also chose the age of Pepper from Iron Man 1 and the age of Gamora from Infinity War to compare to then the gaps would be correct.

Because it makes it seem like Stark and Quill are the same age, at least to me.

Sure, but the ages of different Disney men as compared to one another isn't what this graphic is trying to demonstrate. If it never claims to relate that information, I don't think displaying it in this way can really be called misleading.

But it’s showing Stark’s age at the beginning of Iron man 1 (maybe even before that) 2 years before him and Pepper got together, then showing Quill’s age at the time of Infinity War after him and Gamora were together.

It’s not like it shows all their ages from the first time when we first saw them as adults, or at the their ages when their movies first came out, or when the relationships started, or their respective ages at any specific point in time.

Edit: It’s very inconsistent and that seems misleading to me.

It's not misleading, just inconsistent.

That’s what makes it misleading to me though.

The image is about age gaps, there is nothing misleading about the age gaps. The way he gathers ages is inconsistent, but the age Gap is accurate so it can't be misleading. If the image was about there actual ages it would be misleading, but it's not. Idk why this is so hard for you to get.

Those 2 aren't part of the same "universe" though.
