It feels too disjointed. No problem in doing your own thing and that there are smaller villains and evildoers in smaller scale and that they aren't physical gods and whatnot, but many people don't give a shit about MUH NEW YOHK, and by shying away from mentioning the Avengers or the other heroes and not even showing footage, or maybe a really fast cameo of, say, them being hit by debris caused by Hulk (oh sorry, green guy) or something, it just feels vague and empty. I tried watching Jones and I was tolerating it until the episode where she captures the main villain for a while.
She's supposed to be really strong, yet she punched some thugs, and then the thugs pulled out cattle prods and subdued her, causing the villain to run away. Why wasn't she going all-out and clobbered the thugs or outright killed them? It just made her look really stupid and weak, and she was trying to capture the main villain, not interrogating someone so there would be no need to clobber someone.
They simply don't feel like an important group because they'll never have a crossover with the movie heroes in any capacity, and New York already feels like an afterthought because they've been wrecking other cities and countries far away. Even a cameo by Doctor Cumminbitch would make them feel slightly relevant if they help him at anything at this point.
Also, by having an overlapping villain instead of having something more like villain of the week makes it really tedious, which they pad out with stupid sex scenes or muh feels bullshit, or being heavy drinkers to show you how broken and complicated they are.
Why did Defenders and Inhumans flopped?

The real question is- is this supposed to be an evil strawman depiction like Red Skull speech was supposed to be (and miserably failed to be), or did this author actually know what they were doing with this speech?

Defenders: Discount Avengers
Inhumans: Discount X-men

Why wouldn't it?

Defenders didn't flop though. I find it hard to accept the overall argument since nobody knows the viewing numbers so it could easily be "show that was a huge success but something I hate."
