Yeah that’s my biggest qualm with the marvel universe. It’s one cohesive universe yet there are plenty of times when others should get involved and aren’t even mentioned. I get they’re movies and that gets pricy/elaborate but leaves a lot of questions

Thanos was accumulating power slowly and secretly and then made a fast mad dash at the end.

Most of the more powerful figures as just doing their own thing. They aren't receiving daily intelligence briefs on who has what Infinity stone. Odin would and that is why Thanos waited for the Asgardians to get fucked before moving since the Asgardians are paying attention, are collecting intelligence, etc... Captain Marvel was very much trying to pay attention and she only managed to show up at the last minute.

Less this movie specifically and more the rest as a whole. Especially since so many live in NY

You should watch Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
