Well of course I know the importance of continuity and world building, and I wouldn't want a poorly contrive side story.
What I'm saying is that there may be heroes in the world who don't run into the Avengers, and I'm cool with that.
A great example is the book Vitorio in the Anne Rice vampire series. It's not a part of the Lestat series, but the character makes one small mention at the beginning that he's aware of those characters but has never met them, and after that it doesn't reference them again. Similarly my grandmother doesn't know about all the things I did in college. Those things don't have to be referenced together in order for them both to exist and still be interesting.
To me that is world building. If every character is always in contact with every other character it makes it feel smaller to me, not bigger. So I appreciate having shows that have a clear connection, but don't constantly need to reference other things to prove it.
