Daredevil and Jessica Jones are more "street level" than the Marvel movies or even Agents of SHIELD. The movies and SHIELD are dealing withe epic global-level events. DD and JJ are more local --- and more personal. It's one of the many reasons I'm enjoying DD far more than any of the movies. And sad that Spidey is going to be yet another movie rather than a 10 episode TV series. I understand why. Budget constraints. But Spidey and his rogues gallery have far too much depth to handle in a 2 hour movie.
I do agree that SHIELD's absence in Cap 3: CW doesn't make much sense.

Spidey's way too hot a property (like Batman) to consign to TV, be Netflix or AMC or whatever. Apart from that, I totally agree.

Maybe they could plan out a motion picture "Peter Parker saga" like the "Skywalker saga." At least this time they're starting with a young enough actor.
Also, Coulson hasn't been in a Marvel movie since the first Avengers, which is weird. Fury should've been in CW, too. A cameo, at the very least.
I was just discussing this today. Hubby made the point that if Fury had been in it he would have had a side - sign or not - and that would have meant that anyone on the opposite side would have been wrong. This wasn't about overcoming differences - it was about pulling them apart - and Fury would have mended the differences.
As to Coulson, yes, this should have been the movie where he came back. It's absurd that the issue of a global increase in powered people wasn't addressed.
Also who out there can tell me how the hell Cap knew what happened to Stark???? That seemed awfully contrived to me. Cap knows the truth but Tony doesn't, when Cap was still in the ice in 1991? You're telling me Tony doesn't want to know everything about the car crash??? Especially when he finds out Howard was a founder of Shield???

I got problems with that.
That takes being one of those nerds that freezes frames.
Back in Winter Soldier, Cap and Black Widow break into Anan Zola's bunker and encounter his AI that gloats HYDRA had long infiltrated SHIELD. At one point, a newspaper headline is flashed on screen. Note the date. Cap and BW may have learned even then that Winter Soldier committed the act, or at least been able to deduce it. But when the issue of Winter Soldier's Dec 16, 1991 mission became a big deal, Cap would have certainly concluded it.

In the comics, the only moment of clarity was when the people attacked Captain America as he was pummeling Iron Man in Times Square. As they stopped him, he realized superhuman registration was fine but in this movie he didn't and still acts like a rogue. FYI,
Fury was no where to be seen.

I don't think the issue is as cut-and-dried as the comics made it, plus the fact that Iron Man deserved much more of a pummeling in the comics than in the movie. In the comics, Tony Stark was positively evil.
IMO opinion, signing the Sokovia Accords made better strategic sense than not. Most likely, any nation suffering from a supervillian is going to ask for help. The Avengers need only make sure they share some of their intelligence.
