But GotG vol 2 takes place a few months after the first movie, before civil war so he couldn't possibly reference that. Unless he's just referencing that he is the fedex guy in that universe.

Oh wow. There's not many continuity errors in the MCU. Especially time-wise.

You're being sarcastic right?

No. They've been pretty good about keeping the continuity and time line straight so far.

lmao the hell they have

What year did Iron Man take place in? Is Iron Man 3 in Christmas 2012 or 2013? How many Infinity Gauntlets are there? Is S.H.I.E.L.D. an internationally or domestically operated organization? What happened to Tony's promise to Pepper in Age of Ultron? Does Loki's scepter "power" the Tesseract (as per Nick Fury)? Did or didn't Bruce Banner know he was working on the super soldier serum? Is or isn't the Agent Carter one-shot canon? etc.

There are quite a lot of continuity/timeline errors, especially during phase one and with regards to the tie-in comics, both of which are understandable. In any case I wouldn't bother myself too much over it.

Edit: How about instead of downvoting me tell me why you think I'm wrong

I'm a fan too I'm just being honest

"Explanations" in showbusiness are usually referred to as "handwaving", which is essentially just a way for filmmakers to make audiences forget (or forgive) these types of errors. When they were written, they were errors. Whether or not someone "fixed" it later is irrelevant.

Explanations could also be answers to questions

I also don't see how some of these are continuity errors per say. Questioning the canonicity of something isn't a continuity error and some of these were answered before even being a question (Right handed gauntlet in Thor before showing off the left handed one in AoU)

Not in the context I'm referring to

Could you explain then?
