Yes, There's a Valid Reason Why Spider-Man and Your Fave NYC Heroes Were MIA During The Void’s Attack in 'Thunderbolts*'

Despite its vast collection of compelling stories, there are times when the modern MCU feels too big for its own good. Between its multiversal subplots, mutant teases, persistent timeline fixes, and at times, uneven character development across multiple projects, it's no secret that Marvel justifiably struggles to make all the pieces of its enormous cinematic universe fit together, and so it's no surprise that one of the studio's most persistent problems raises questions about the ending of its most recent success, Thunderbolts*. Specifically, after years of watching world-ending crises unfold in solo projects without, for some reason, the Avengers' intervention, the Void's (Lewis Pullman) climactic attack on New York City once again begs the question of why New York's other heroes didn't help out the MCU's newest super team. Thankfully, a member of the film's creative team has since offered up an insightful explanation for this potential plot hole.
