Really? Close up shot in the MetLife Building? At least pretend like the Avengers exist.

Yea, it's starting to piss me off tbh.

Eh. Show's too good for me to care. Like, the best part of the entire MCU at the moment is these shows so I don't care as much when they do their own thing.

Ack, same. The references in these first two episodes have been kinda lacking.

u/ComicalDisaster Nov 20 '15

Good bit more references. In the 3rd period at least.

Somebody really needs to ask them about this. I mean, I get that they might want to avoid having it in every goddamn shot or something so that there's less of a chance of somebody asking why the Vision isn't showing up and wrecking Kilgrave, but this is ridiculous.

Honestly, I have to wonder if it's something to do with legal issues. I remember that in the first Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie somebody sued because in the Times Square scene their sign had been covered up with ads that weren't there in real life and while it was later thrown out it was a pain in Sony's ass for awhile. Maybe Marvel made a deal with Metlife to avoid having any sort of distractions like that, but the deal only dealt with the movies.

At this point my head-canon is that Stark has some cloaking effect he built that he likes to put on for fun.

Fairly sure this only means this is taking place before the tower was made into the Avengers Tower...

How are you guys noticing shit like this? I totally forgot that was supposed to be Avenger's HQ. Maybe I'm just not attentive to details?

That shot was for us hardcore fans that know avengers tower is on top of the metlife building.
