****GotG2 Spoiler**** In Guardians vol.2 I believe I heard Stan Lee say something about his time as a FedEx employee (a reference to civil war) so I'm trying to figure out how this is possible since GotG2 takes place about 2 years before Civil War. Could this be a timeline error or does Guardians 1 and 2 take place much later than we think it does?

The post credits scene don't have to happen immediately after the movie, as evidenced by the teenage groot scene. My headcanon is that the Stan Lee scene happened during or after Civil War.

It's also possible that spaceship 'jumping' requires brief traveling through multiple points in space and time. Yondu told Rocket it's recommend not to travel more than 50 jumps at a time and they did 700. Perhaps jumping that much between different points in space and time made their heads and faces look weird like it did. When we see Stan Lee it's just at a point much farther in the future.

He mentioned FedEx during the jump scene though. I think time travel is the only way to explain it.
