You're absolutely right; just because I live in the same world as Barack Obama doesn't mean I'm running into him on a daily basis. Agents of SHIELD actually made that point quite humorously when Professor Randolph sarcastically explained how he never met Thor even though they were both Asgardian.

However, living in this world, I've HEARD of Barack Obama. Just as Randolph sure as hell knows who Thor is. I'm not saying that Coulson should show up in Hell's Kitchen. In fact, that might be annoying. I'm just saying that with the ATCU and SHIELD's current preoccupation with all things powered and gifted, someone at some point should notice what the hell is going on in NYC.

And I've never been one of those people complaining that the MCU is too interconnected and complicated. I think it's brilliant.
