My main issue with all that (besides the lack of any major MCU event mention after the Battle of NY) is that in JJ Patsy goes on the radio to evoke a superhuman (Purple Man), then several other things kind of make the whole thing more or less public (JJ herself isn't discretion incarnate) and... nothing happens! Had this all happened before TWS, it's likely SHIELD would have been in Hell's Kitchen the next day. Had it happened after AOU/the end of AoSHIELDs02, it would have been the ATCU. Fact is that we have a vigilante that isn't known to be superpowered but might just as well be (DD), + JJ and Luke and the Purple Man running around in NY and it seems no one really notices outside of Hell's Kitchen. It makes little sense except if you put the events in DDs01 somewhere between Avengers and TWS, and the events in JJ and DDs02 somewhere between TWS and AOU, when you have this gap between SHIELD and the ATCU that explains why no authority really handles superhuman issues. Some of the events in the Netflix series are pretty confidential but some are public knowledge and certain high ranked officials are obviously aware of the connection between some of those events and enhanced individuals.
