Spidey-sense in Jessica Jones?

Spidey-sense in Jessica Jones? - Close-Up Photo of Assorted Books

In "AKA Playland", the final episode of Season 2, Jessica Jones tells Vido about her heroic incident and the conversation goes as such:

Vido: Did you save anybody today?
Some conversation later...
Jessica: ...And this guy came in and he was all jumpy and dope-sick. And I knew he was there to rob the place...
Vido: Because of your spidey-sense?
Jessica: I don't have spidey-sense...

Now this put me off by a bit since the Netflix shows are in MCU continuity and apparently occurs after Avengers. Thus we can assume that the current season could be around AoU times... So how does Vido know about spidey-sense? It's not like having a Captain America toy.

Spidey-sense is a feature exclusive to Spider-man and he doesn't go around saying it in the MCU and unless Vido reads "Spider-man" comics, this reference is off-putting within the MCU universe.

TLDR: How does Vido know about spidey-sense?



Best Answer

Apparently Netflix has changed it to super-sense now... So they knew the mistake...

The spidey-sense line apparently existed for a day or so in Netflix before being changed... So yeah, this line must have made through before Marvel got the deal with Spider-man and thus Jessica Jones showrunners could just go with it as part of references...

Spidey-Sense is Peter Parker's ability to sense and react to danger before it happens. Spidey-Senses may even be responsible for the quick reflexes necessary for safely Web-Slinging through Manhattan at death defying speeds and heights.

Who said my Spider sense is tingling?

The story behind the quote: One of the most popular, yet misunderstood, powers of Peter Parker/Spider-man is his Spider Sense, mostly because the hero himself doesn't know how it works as well. In general, this ability gives him the ability to feel danger.

Does Peter Parker have enhanced senses?

Moreover, Spider-Man has shown the spider bite that gave him his powers enhanced all of his senses \u2013 including his vision \u2013 explaining why nearsighted Peter Parker doesn't wear glasses anymore.

Answer 2

The current seasons of the Netflix shows typically take place in-universe just a few months before the air dates, so for Jessica Jones season two, that would be late summer/fall of 2017. The events of Spider-Man: Homecoming would certainly have taken place by then, in which Spider-Man did make the news. (In fact, it's not exactly clear where to place Homecoming in the timeline, but it's probably earlier than it's air date.)

More notably, the Netflix series all take place in New York City (Hells Kitchen, Harlem, etc.) This is also where Spider-Man lives and operates -- in the comics, Spider-Man and Daredevil team up fairly regularly, and share many of the same villains.

Therefore, it's not unreasonable to imagine that someone living in Hells Kitchen in 2017 would know about Spider-Man, or at least stories about Spider-Man, and that the term "spidey-sense" had entered common usage in that part of the country.
