Marvel ’s cinematic universe is all link … in theory . When it come to the goggle box shows , they have to be as faint as they can when they refer to a character or event from the films — while the flick brush aside them sweeping . Here ’s a round of drinks up of the silly avoidances from across Daredevil , Luke Cage , Jessica Jones , and Iron Fist .
The First Avengers Movie
The Incident ( Daredevil , season 1 episode 1 , et al ) This one is the most mutual across all four shows , and it ’s perhaps the clunkiest and most unrealistic of their attempts to refer to that time a clustering of aliens smashed into New York . severely , Iron Fist is set several years after the events of Avengers at this point , and people are still discussing “ THE INCIDENT ” in hushed tones . C’m on guys , no one really talks like that . Why not a 9/11 style appointment ? Or , an even better option …
The Battle of New York ( Daredevil , season 1 episode 10 , et al ) It ’s absurd this one does n’t get as much playing period as “ The Incident , ” because it really vocalize like the way a human being would discuss this historical present moment . It mostly gets consigned to that one front page of the New York Bulletin that demo up in Ben Urich’s — and afterwards , Karen Page’s — power .
Captain America
The Flag Waver ( Jessica Jones , Season 1 Episode 4 ) When “ trapped ” by a victim of the Chitauri invasion , Jessica mentions Cap in sink when inquire why she ’s being targeted for something she has no connection to . Has Steve Rogers ever actually brandish a signal flag in his character as Captain America in the movies ? He usually just tend to clip up like one .
The Old Dude With the Shield ( Luke Cage , Season 1 Episode 1 ) This is one of the most ridiculous examples of desperately want to remind hearing that these show are in the Marvel Cinematic Universe while being all unable of just saying graphic symbol public figure . A street merchant Luke walk by in Harlem is sell unsanded footage from “ the incident , ” rattle off a series of not - name calling like this one . I wish to think he ’s just lambast bootleg copies of The Avengers movie , in world .
Iron Man
The Iron Suit ( Daredevil , season 1 episode 4 ) Charles Wesley mentions this while mocking several of Fisk ’s strong-armer for getting beat up by a blind ninja guy , and is in reality the closest thing these shows have get to enjoin “ Iron Man . ” They lean to stick with “ Stark , ” which is at least much more direct than every other character here .
Billionaire Playboy ( Daredevil , season 1 episode 5 ) Claire asks if Matt accrue into this well - worn comic book hero parentage story , even though he ’s not one of the many , many heroes that does . Also , it ’s presumably a callback to Tony taking this exact cognomen for himself in The Avengers .
Thor
The Magic Hammer ( Daredevil , season 1 episode 4 ) It ’s easier to come to to Thor ’s hammer than it is the Thunder God himself , because well , he ’s the cat with the pound that and the thunder material is kind of his thing . Speaking of which …
The Big Blond Dude With the Hammer ( Luke Cage , Season 1 Episode 1 ) We ’re back to our Luke Cage bootlegger friend here , who helpfully designate out that the dude holding the magic hammer is light-haired . And bounteous .
Some variety of Magic Hammer ( Luke Cage , Season 1 Episode 3 ) God , again with the hammering ! This time it ’s Misty Knight ’s fuzz partner Scarfe pondering just how easy his problem would be if his pistol was Mjolnir .
The Hulk
The Harlem Terror ( Daredevil , season 1 episode 10 ) Not an real shout - out to the Hulk himself , but actually to the to the result of the 2008 Hulk movie , which has a weird limbo kinship with the MCU in that it ’s both sanctioned and non - canonical in what it have in mind for Bruce Banner as a character . This is in reference to the climax of the movie , which feature Hulk and Abomination duking it out in Harlem well before Luke is around .
The Big Green Dude ( and his work party ) ( Jessica Jones , Season 1 Episode 3 ) Luke ’s reference to the Avengers here is sadly not an allusion to Marvel ’s The Crew , the African - American superhero team that he ’ll be a part of in its newest iteration .
The Big Green Guy ( Jessica Jones , Season 1 Episode 4 ) The big green hombre is like the cock-a-hoop green sheik , but … with more head rhyme ?
The Green Monster ( and I do n’t think of Fenway ) ( Luke Cage , Season 1 Episode 1 ) The final not - character reference from the guy who is bootlegging footage from “ the Incident ” on the streets of Harlem . Maybe he ’s a baseball lover ?
That Incredible Green Guy ( Iron Fist , Season 1 Episode 6 ) OH come up ON JUST SAY THE HULK , DAMMIT . This one is ridiculous . Human beingness do n’t talk like this !
The Rest of the Avengers
Nothing at all . Look , if they ’re gon na be as faint as they are with the rest of them , what are miserable Black Widow and Hawkeye ( and now Sam , Wanda , Vision , and so on ) gon na be look up to as ? My guesses would be “ Spy Lady ” and “ That fella with the curtain call . ”
