Any one of the events in most of these movies would bog down the planet's media cycle for years. We have to go into these movies knowing that the Earth's population is desensitized to world ending events at this point. If they had to rehash or reference every time the world was almost destroyed we wouldn't have enough time to tell new stories.
They've had to do that in the comics for years.
They've tried a few times to reference why other characters aren't around to help save the day but at a certain point we have to just suspend disbelief.
