Generally, means the the overall mood reflects the time period. Technology is more big and clunky.
Think how Fallout reflected the 1950s, except it actually takes place in that time period.

September 1962-March 1963:
Peter Parker, a junior at New York's Midtown Manhattan Magnet High who was bitten by a radioactive spider and gained spider-powers in recent months, foils crime while working at The Daily Bugle and having an internship as a lab assistant. He retires from fighting sometime during the early 90s, inspiring Flutter & Noir-Knight.

Hmm…
SC 1975: Monty Python and the Holy Grail takes place, and remain much the same, but with added context.
The events do not actually take place in the Middle Ages (As shown by the ending). Instead they take place in the 70s and the so called "Knights of the Roundtable" are a bunch of crazy rich aristocratic assholes who escaped a mental institution. The "Holy Grail" they were looking for is actual a bottle of cheap beer with gold foil.
Like the film, the main knights including "King Arthur" are arrested while the rest of the Knightly armies flee. The events are seen by the general public as a protest/riot.

1975: A bunch of crazy rich people from a mental institution believing themselves to be King Arthur and his knights, go on a rampage looking for the Holy Grail. King Arthur (real name Monty Python) and his knights are arrested, while the knightly army he has gathered flees. It is seen by the public as a riot or protest, calling for a return of Monarchism to the Union of Britain.

Got one up yet?
SO: Monolith Studios' Blood takes place (Between 1871-1928).
A ruthless gunslinger turned undead maniac named Caleb takes revenge against the cult who betrayed him. This cult, calling themselves the Cabal, believe in the dark god Tchernobog.
Caleb, despite serving him loyally, was killed by this god, along with his friend Gabriel and girlfriend Ophelia.
After being resurrected in 1928, Caleb kills much of the cult and even destroies the current Incarnation of Tchernobog.
Avenged, Caleb wanders the world as an infamous, seemingly immortal, Bounty Hunter. The remains of the Cabal organize into the shady company "CabalCo", who cause problems, leaving the Superheroes and some times Caleb himself to deal with them. CabalCo collapses in 2028, permanently ending their presence. An attempt at reviving Tchernobog resulted in his permanent death at the hands of the Oakville pantheon.

1871:
Ruthless gunslinger Caleb, a member of the cult The Cabal, who believe in Tchernobog, is betrayed by his own god and killed along with his friend and girlfriend.
1928:
Caleb is resurrected and kills most of the cult out of revenge, including the current incarnation of Tchernobog. Avenged, Caleb wanders the world as an immortal bounty hunter. The remains of The Cabal become CabalCo, a shady company that causes problems, leading to the superheroes and sometimes Caleb having to fix them. CabalCo becomes a large collector of moondust, often using it in attacks.
2028:
CabalCo becomes bankrupt. An attempt to revive Tchernobog leads to Caleb's permanent death at the hands of the Oakville Pantheon.

Hey should so what do you mean by from 1962 to 1963? Cause I know it doesn't mean the duration of his superhero career because you say he retires in the 90s
I mean 1962-1963 in reference to the timeline of the Spectacular Spider-Man, the show this version of Peter is based on. Also, Halvin established the retired in the 90s. I imagine he retires in 1992.
I guess that makes sense but I don't know how to properly apply that to the timeline, maybe I can label the second number as the end of his early exploits before going professional
Or maybe just ignore the second number entirely, thanks for the retirement year tho

You'll excuse me...but this is its own fic. Like....an almost fully storyboarded fic, with arcs; that could use its own thread.

Here's an idea!
SN: On September 27th 1957, Filthy Frank appears on TVs all over the United States as the so called "Future of Television" from a completely unknown broadcaster going by the alias "Joji" (Who thought it would be funny to send this type of content back in time, but it's not the actual George Miller who's doing this)
What airs is all of his created content video content from DizastaMusic, TVFilthyFrank, and TooDamnFilthy in upload order (Oldest to Newest) with no changes, along with som extra videos included Deleted Videos like the Cake Trilogy. The Francis of the Filth book also mysteriously appears in bookstores, while both the Pink Guy and Pink Season albums are put on appropriately pink Vinyl Records in Music Shops.
A moral panic ensues, as parents and various other groups decry this futuristic entertainment and wonder why the 2010s were so "morally bankrupt". If the comic book burnings were bad, then the parents taking baseball bats to TVs are the next logical step.
Filthy Frank and new emerging Copycats become a signifier of counter-culture in the 1960s.

September 27, 1957:
Across America, a mysterious broadcaster named Joji announces the Future of Television. Intrigued, many homes begin tuning in. Joji announces The Filthy Frank Show, said to be a popular show from the 2010s. Viewers go from intrigue to disgust as they watch the crazy episodes. Francis of the Filth, a character from the show, appears in some bookstores. While Pink Guy and his Pink Season album are seen at record stores, the album on an appropriately pink record. Moral panics ensue, with many people utterly disgusted at The Filthy Frank Show, and parents lambast the show, calling its title character "everything a model citizen shouldn't be". Some even consider banning TV altogether. Fortunately, they ended up overwhelmed after Filthy Frank becomes a popular counterculture figure during the 60s, as various copycats show up on shows like The Carol Burnett Show and Laugh-In.

Let me update the timeline first
Update finished
(SN) End Of Time: The Owl slays the Malevolent Moon & The Cruel Clock, and as the last star blinks out, they rest, the story is over, maybe in time the nothingness will give way to something new, but now is the time for a little nap, the Owl deserves it
Here's a idea.
(SN) a bank in Chicago is robbed by a supervillain known as Cobra Queen, on February 12, 1997.
Hope this is valid.
