(I know the title say “British Monarch”, but I think that’s just because it’s the only popular modern monarchy)

Everyone remembers Hans’s plan for power: marry Anna, kill Elsa, Anna becomes Queen, and he gains power and rule a country. Except that he wouldn’t have, Hans would only have been given the title “Royal Consort”, which doesn’t hold any power aside from making heirs for the throne. In order for Hans to have become ruler of Arendale, he would’ve had to convince whatever government existed there and the people to transfer the power from their ruler-by-blood to an ambassador who, for what we’ve seen, they’ll just remember him as the royal who passed out blankets when it was cold, so that’s not likely. Hans’s power grab would’ve been easier if he had hired some assassins to remove his 12 older brothers and any of their children, or simply waited to have a child with Anna and rule through the child after eliminating the rulers, like Cersei Lannister did with Joffrey.

During my Valentine watching of Deadpool, I noticed something off about a joke: remember that montage in the first act of the movie that lasts a year where Wade and Vanessa are celebrating Chinese New Year and Vanessa says “Year of the Dog” while in a similar position, which is clearly meant to be a joke. After some quick research,the closest years of The Dog are 2006 and 2018, the next year after that being 2030. In the first scene in the movie, and set 1-2 years after the moment mentioned before, going off the first flash-back card saying 2 years prior to the highway scene, Deadpool looks at the time on an Adventure Time; remember that Adventure Time started showing in 2010, so 2006 is not an option for that joke, the latest possible year being 2008. I highly doubt that the plastic watch will continue working for that long, and that Adventure Time will remain relevant enough in 2031 (2030 + 1 time skip) that Wade could easily get another one when it broke, but 2018 is close enough that A.T. merchandise is still on the market. That is why Deadpool is set in the future, albeit not very far. I am aware that those two moments were just for jokes, but that didn’t stop me from thinking about it.

TL;DR A joke about going at it Doggy Style does not line up with Adventure Time existing means that Deadpool is set int the future, either in 2019 or 2020.
