...This show really inflated what a 'city' is then. Holy shit that's small. My suburb here is bigger and I wouldn't call it a city! There's also a load of crime for a place so small...

Thanks for both informing me and blowing my mind further.

Yeah it does seem like they purposely obscure it on the show. It doesn't help that Matt says "Stay the hell out of my city" to criminals and Stick. I've been to New York a few times and assumed that they just made up some mini-city or something for the show before I found out that it was an actual neighborhood, haha.

(AYRT)I have no idea how American cities/towns work so I assumed that Hell's Kitchen was like, an actual council/election/something legal area within New York that like, had some powers and was a distinct something within the city.

That is, once I found out Hell's Kitchen was actually real. I thought it was just a name for a restaurant at first!

Same Anon:

XD I totally forgot about the restaurant!

I just rewatched episode 7 and there's this piece of dialogue.

Matt: What the hell are you doing in my city?

Stick: Your city? Hell's Kitchen hates your guts.


So I see where the confusion comes from.

AYRT

There's also dialogue Matt has in the final fight with Fisk that's like "This is my city; my family..." after Fisk was going on about how Hell's Kitchen doesn't deserve him and his grand plans. So at least I'm justified in my weird confusion?
