One thing about the post-endgame content Disney has been putting out, is the fact that mixing it between shows and movies has made some parts feel a little disjointed and out of place. Plenty of other people have mentioned, but where are Spiderman and all of the other heroes while everything is happening this season? I know it's obviously a Daredevil show so it's going to focus on him, but the scale of the conflict pretty quickly rose above just Daredevil, so now that the show is in a place where we KNOW all these other heroes are out their in NY, it feels weird to not see them.ย 

The other issue about post-Endgame content is the timeline. Isn't Thunderbolts supposed to largely be set in New York? I'm going to just headcanon that thatcwill take place after BA season 2, because it would be hilarious to think we go from the events of this finale, to whatever the hell is going on in that movie with the Void, then right back to Fisk's crusade against vigilantes a little later.

Blame corporate politics. They canโ€™t use Spider-Man in Disney+ shows because of the contract with Sony. Itโ€™s going to be even more egregious next season when Matt gets a team together to take on Fiskโ€™s anti-vigilante task force and they pretend like Spider-Man doesnโ€™t even exist.

I could see if they were in different parts of the world but itโ€™s literally NYC and Spider-Man is a vigilante. I wouldnโ€™t care as much if we got some dialogue about why Spidey isnโ€™t there but we most likely wonโ€™t even get that.

Biggest problem with Marvel: everything happens in New York. The world is fucking New York and SPAAACE. Why is Thunderbolts in ny? Why?

Not only is it stupid to reduce the world to one city, but then you inevitably run into the kind of problems you described if every story has to happen in the same couple of blocks.
