I'm with you on the Marvel side, even more because they really push the formulaic cross-referencing of characters/situations.

I can remember one line in "Luke Cage" from Barnett saying "I'm going back to Hell's Kitchen", sounds very cheesy in that context and kinda broke the suspension of disbelief when watching, even though I think that "Luke Cage" is one of the best Marvel series on Netflix right now.

What's cheesy about that line? Hell's Kitchen is a real neighborhood in NYC.

I assume because Hell's Kitchen is Daredevil's territory, so it's a thinly veiled announcement of a crossover

except that hardly any of it portrays Hell's Kitchen NYC. The bar Luke owns, is actually in Alphabet City, NYC. Though I get that saying "I'm going back to ABC" doesn't have the same tone.
