I'm aware of that, I'm asking whether the nature of his death allowed the creators any creative wiggle room to bring the character back at a later date (eg. was he unambiguously shot in the head, or did he just fall ambiguously into some mist like in First Avenger?)

I think the crazier implication here is that the MCU moves in real time. 7 years between movies = 7 years in universe

So you've heard of one retcon then.
It was a crashing flying bomb, but they brought people back from worse. Hell Hawkeye and Antman was vaporized but they brought him back

I think there have been indications to that effect all along. The only times they go out of their way to indicate otherwise is when there's a story reason for it (like Dr. Strange, which has a time skip in the middle, or GotG2, which clearly picks up right after the first).

Basically. He could have been dismembered and his limbs sent to all corners of the earth and writers still could have brought him back.it happens all the time in comics.
Uncle Ben probably had an actual job, as he couldn't just lounge about looking like Marisa Tomei.

Field trip/school group would probably be the easiest, simplest explanation.
LOL i can think of 5 characters that has happened to
More to the point, why was he clearly left abandoned by Aunt May?

I heard people call that 'fanfiction'.
Obligatory Metal Gear sound effect.

Seems like it's legit bothering some people though I can't for the life of me understand why. It's like getting bugged by
Stan Lee working with the Watchers

edit: noone else hears someone yell
"oh my god, peter!"
That did bug me, if only because Stan was making a reference to having done something in 2016 in a film set in 2014.
Yes, I fully acknowledge that is nit-picking to the point of madness.
I don't believe that they intended it from the beginning

time dilation baby
he was doing work for the Watchers as a 90 year old man during World War II
he clearly can time hop a bit
That's a damn good point, I shall allow it.

Hmm. According to Wikipedia, the real life World's Fairs in the 30's and 60's (at Flushing Meadows, just like the Stark Expo) cost the modern equivalent of about $20. It's probably like going to Maker's Faire.
And it's in his neighborhood. Well, it's in Queens at least. If that apartment is still in Forest Hills like May and Peter's house is usually depicted as being, it's RIGHT by there. Although I kinda don't think that's where they live in the MCU. EDIT: Oh, but the Expo was 8 years ago... They probably moved to the apartment after Ben died or something.
But...but we know they take place real time except for Guardians

Stark probably got to know aunt May 10 years ago.

I remember during the Incredible Hulk, during the scene where he throws the rock because of the lightning, people had theories that it was Thor coming down after being banished.
Oh my god I remember this

It's kinda funny how a silly remark like this, most likely based on a joke among the cast and further embellished by Tom, illicits comments about this being a stupid retcon as if Marvel wasn't aware of that. Because obviously all these actors and crew hand in every human trait at the door when they enter the big Disney machine to make movies where they wear spandex.

I thought they already confirmed that particular star in IM2 was the death star.

The amount of people on there saying it's Peter from a year or two ago is crazy.

Taking the comic approach. Well done.

If you ever saw a kid in the previous MCU movies, it was Peter Parker.
