Thor takes place right after Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3 is set during Christmas despite releasing in May, and GotG Vol 2 is only a few months after the first one. The MCU has never really unfolded in real time even though it seems like a lot of people assumed it did.

It seems easy enough to just shrug your shoulders and say Iron Man is in 2008, The Avengers is about a year later, and Homecoming is in 2017. Is everything going to line up? No, of course not. And they'll probably change again. Marvel isn't exactly known for sticking with a concrete timeline.

So for anyone upset by that "8 YEARS LATER" card, I'd suggest they should just roll with it. Roll with it like they rolled with Don Cheadle and Mark Ruffalo not being Terrence Howard and Edward Norton.
