Where are the Avengers during all of this?

[Lvl 10]

City faces mass destruction both in Remaster and this and yet the Avengers are not even mentioned.

[Noa.]

There was a line in the remaster where peter say they are busy at some town i think (don't remember the name)

Spider-Man doesn't need the help of the Avengers. I know the MCU makes him out to be an incapable wimp without daddy Stark, but your traditional Spider-Man can clobber most of the Avengers on his own.

I'm not talking about the MCU.
I'm talking about a glaring plothole.

The game has the Avengers tower in it.
Saying Spider-man doesn't need help when half the city is in ruins, is like Police ignoring a robbery, because someone will probably disarm the culprit.
It makes no sense.

Apparently, the Avengers are busy fighting crime in their own game...

The Avengers ignore burning cities, wars and massive crimes all the time. Whatever they're choosing to do involves ignoring a crisis somewhere else.

Where were the DC characters, Superman etc, during Arkham City/Knight? It's a dull question. No character could have their own stories if the reader/player demanded an intervention every time there were high stakes. Stakes would never be all that high if an ultimate team or a god was coming in to assist.

have you met the police

You don't see many references to the other DC heroes in the Arkham games. The Avengers tower is their literal hangout and right there in plain site.

Same reason most of the time other heroes don't show up in standalone comics. If the whole gang was showing up to deal with one regular villain, the fights would be over pretty quick.

Rip lol, it's one of the worst games ever

The avengers are all dead and are replaced by idiots thanks to MCU 2022.

[Templar]

They got no rights to Avengers

ah, I see, a crisis even more serious than the fate of the world

I think the first game indicates that they're off handling some bizarre, planet-wide threat. Devil's Breath might have been enough to draw them back to NYC, but Pete solved it fairly quickly after it got unleashed (just not quick enough for some support characters. RIP).

Miles' scenario in this game doesn't take that many days. It's Christmas season when it starts and Christmas season when it ends. If I had to guess, I'd say the whole Tinkerer issue resolves itself over the course of a few days. Also, she's only really an existential threat to NYC for a few hours.

You get a similar thing in the Arkham games, which are each purportedly taking place over the course of a single night. The time-frame and "they're all busy" arguments help in each case.

But otherwise, suspension of disbelief. :-P
