Connect The Plots: MCU+NETFLIX Marvel Series+ Disney Plus MCU Series=The Snap

(Opening begins at the 0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera pulls back to see James and everyone else on top of a slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it before cutting to James in his office)

TLOTA:
I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I'm about to express are that of my own and some of yours, and welcome to another edition of "Connect The Plots" (Cut to a scene of James trying to connect certain things together like the theatrical version of "Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers" & "Halloween: H20", All the movie adaptations
 of Stephen King, Superman Returns to the original Salkind Superman movies, the first three X-Men movies to the newer ones and the "Wolverine" & "Deadpool" movies before cutting to James strapped down in a straight jacket all the while a kid sings "Connect The Plots La-La-La!" before panning down to see anything that might have a minor connection spell the words "Connect The Plots" before cutting to clips of The Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Netflix Marvel Series, and the Disney+ Marvel Series as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
At the time of this post, The Marvel Cinematic Universe has become the most successful cinematic franchise BAR NONE! Since the inception of the MCU has made a whopping twenty-three BILLION dollars! And has gone on to make more revenue through their Disney+ series, "Agent Carter", "Agents Of SHIELD" and something that has been questioned since both the "Hawkeye" series and "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is something that had been dismissed by fans as cannon is the Netflix series Starring Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Punisher. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Why is that? Well, at the time the series was on Netflix, The MCU was in its second phase which ended with Avengers: Age Of Ultron. When they were forcibly ended some were in the middle of good storylines or baiting for more seasons. So as the MCU continued these series fell into obscurity and not helping was the failures of "Marvel's Inhumans" and I wholly understand. But after watching the Disney+ Marvel Series with the exception of Moon Knight which I'm in starting to watch, the Netflix Marvel series, and the MCU. I think I can clear up the canonicity problem with...(James pulls out a fully loaded Infinity Gauntlet) A snap! (The sound of Thor shouting "NO!" is heard as the snap takes place and it cuts to the ending of "Avengers Infinity War", post-credit scenes of "Ant-Man and The Wasp", "Captain Marvel", the scene with Yelena played by Florence Pugh as she disintegrates in "Hawkeye"  and the NETFLIX Marvel Series as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
When Thanos snapped the infinity gauntlet the initial fears, sorrows, and confusion hit the populace there were people everywhere trying to make sense of things and in the five boroughs of New York City, the same city where The Avengers was born it was as hard as the weeks went on and people were wondering what had happened to their friends, their family, their loved ones. It was as if the world was over and the ones that survived the snap didn't feel like the lucky ones. Of course, there would also be a sense of anarchy as criminals who wouldn't have been noticed were now feeling more empowered, without The Avengers, who was going to stop them. This is where the story of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Danny "Iron Fist" Rand, Jessica Jones, and Frank Castle AKA The Punisher would be connected in the MCU. Where we pick up is after Thanos had been killed weeks after the snap. As The Kingpin would try to rise to power and be a voice that would try to organize the underworld. Then we have the likes of the Purple Man of Jessica Jones played by David Tennant AKA The Tenth Doctor, the villains of Luke Cage and "Iron Fist" would try to do whatever it would take to restore those lost in the snap which is why in The Defenders there was talk about the plans of The Hand had. The Hand possibly lost quite a few million forces to The Snap. Even then if Wilson Fisk AKA The Kingpin played by Vincent D'Onofrio had a run-in with Ronin FKA Hawkeye played by Jeremy Renner, it probably would've happened in Season four of Daredevil if it had happened. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
So how does The Punisher fit into the mix? Well... (Cut to the Netflix Marvel The Punisher series as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
From the beginning, it looked like Frank Castle's family was taken from him before the start of the MCU. Most likely after Frank left the Armed Forces is when both Frank lost his family and Tony Stark lost his apathy in a cave tormented by Terrorists who would gladly use his tech to kill innocent people. But whereas Tony Stark went on to publicly do right, Frank went on to become The Punisher, hunting criminals and everyone who was close to those who murdered his family in cold blood. After getting what he felt was the justice for his family and the events of the Snap and his time on "Daredevil" he was more than willing to go underground, disappear but when certain things came back to light, Frank had to don the Skull Shirt and go on the hunt once again. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
So if these series happened after the snap and before the "ENDGAME" where were they when Earth's mightiest heroes needed them? Well, maybe they were where they needed to be? (Cut to the "ENDGAME" battle with Thanos as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
These were the street-level heroes in the MCU. Any sort of issues that The Avengers were dealing with, The Defenders were making sure the streets were safe from Thanos' attacks should they come to the streets. And with Wilson Fisk in exile until the news of what happened in "ENDGAME" was over would he return in "Hawkeye" and Matt Murdock would be helpful to Peter Parker partly due to the fact that Happy knew that Matt was on Tony Stark's retainer, should things go south. And now with The Avengers have fought their last battle, the remaining Defenders and The Punisher decided now is the time to go back to the shadows of the streets where they came from and try to hide until called for in the MCU. And that's not a bad idea all things considering Tony Stark and all he's done. But even after the "ENDGAME" they deserve to be recognized at the same level as The Avengers were. But after connecting the universes together better than how Mysterio did so in "Far From Home" I can tell you right now. But who knows maybe when I see "Multiverse Of Madness", that movie will do a better job than I did. But for now, at this moment, I enjoy what The Defenders did as much as how The Avengers fought to save the day. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans, and that's my opinion!
