Ya, but the problem is only Nick Fury is in Europe hunting down remnants of Hydra right now as explained to us in CA:TWS and remember that was the biggest segue into AOU.
There's plenty of time to cover how they reconnect given that the run time is nearly 2.5 hours.
Its not about time, Rock. Its artistic choice. And Fury´s place after TWS is not a problem. You just get to the Avengers in theyre movies helping him after he finds out they were too much for him. He is not Rambo.
You need to rewatch Godfather part 2. The Corleones are in Nevada, not New York. New York has been given to his lietunents, Pentangeli, altough Michael is still the head of the family. Michael is already doing big business with Roth and trying to legalize the family with the casinos. He is respected now, and feared. Thats NOT how the first Godfather ended. At all.
Your problem is that you want the sequel to continuye excactly where the movies ended, and that is not the Godfather route. I apreciate your preference, but the method you want is not the only effective one.
