It’s not an attack mate, just a funny autocorrect. Happens to everyone.In my defense I corrected them afterwards at least the feige one.
No one has tried to connect the films to and acknowledge TV shows though. It’s been a one way relationship. Now you have the head of the film division in charge of the TV side and these opportunities are likely to fall to those who don’t get as much time in the films. It’s not like every second-tier character has to be covered, just whoever they want to write for who also happens to be free. These are mini-series too, not long season TV shows that go on for years on end, so scheduling shouldn’t be as difficult.I don’t love this idea. I think it will dilute Marvel even more and we’ve learned from existing shows it’s next to impossible to try to connect the film and tv worlds based on shooting schedules.
I think it'll always remain separate because Feige doesn't have quite the time to full seasons of so many shows. That being said, the advantage these shows have and why it's such a big change is that they apparently have a much larger budget. They're spinoff shows and remind me quite a bit of the one-shots they used to do in that they involve those characters, etc. But I think there's still room for lower budget stuff that involves characters the movies don't have any interest in. Cloak and Dagger was a lot of fun on Freeform, but it's unlikely Feige has any interest in producing that show.How long before Marvel TV is absorbed by Feige??

Yeah, there should be some savings available by doing that.Would reuse of movie costumes, props and VFX assets make a difference budgetwise?
A Scarlet Witch mini series would probably have relatively low acting salaries compared to many TV shows. I think the extra budget would be to get film level effects into the shows, the lack of which takes away authenticity in translating high powered characters to TV.I’m assuming the bigger budget is more to accommodate salaries than anything else.
In theory Feige could connect the two divisions better but I think Marvel has gotten better at not shoehorning in unnecessary connections just for the sake of connections. So I wouldn’t want them going backwards.
Also it seems like a lot of Marvel movies are rewritten as they are filming. I can’t imagine a tv plot being written into a movie would survive the editing room if the director didn’t think it was essential to the story and wouldn’t confuse audiences.

I was using hyperbole, LOL! Point is, the people doing these shows are not making amounts of money that a show with a budget the size of like a Game of Thrones cannot afford. Disney is doing that for Star Wars, so I see no reason why they wouldn't for Marvel considering how much Marvel is making for them.I don't think that any MCU actor commands RDJ money right now TBF. The only one who comes close last time I checked was Scarlett Johansson, and even she's quite a ways off from him.
Great news! This is what I had been hoping for since it was first announced that Agents of Shield would be in continuity with the cinematic MCU. We ended up getting the amazing HYDRA reveal in season 1, with AOS expanding the narrative of the Winter Soldier by showing how the events of the movie were affecting the rank and file. And we saw Fury, Hill and Sitwell move seamlessly between TV and film. Then we had the breakup between Marvel Entertainment and Marvel Studios, and "It's all connected!" became "It's not completely contradictory!"
Keeping TV and film as separate fiefdoms in an ongoing connected fantasy universe is outdated thinking in the age of streaming, so I am very happy to see Disney finally take the plunge. With AOS on its last legs and the Netflix shows closer to the end than the beginning, we could see all future live action Marvel TV shows developed by Feige's group. I also wouldn't be surprised if some of the Netflix characters get rebooted into MCU proper after the streaming contracts expire.
As for the shows themselves, I was originally hoping Wanda would go off to train with Strange after Avengers 4. But Agatha Harkness is on her way to the MCU, and I'd prefer to see Wanda train with a witch than a sorcerer. Loki can pop up pretty much at any time or any place in the last millennium and cause chaos, so I don't have any firm ideas for him. But I am definitely going to watch.

What particular storylines would you hope to see for the characters we know about?
The bits he wants at least. The one reason to keep them permanently separate could be the ability to use an R rating on all those shows.
I don't think anything is being rebooted. Only maybe Inhumans would the lone exception given how much of a dumpster fire the show ended up being, but the other shows I don't think ever will. They're all pretty much successful. They all have gone for multiple seasons. If Feige really wanted to do anything with those characters, Marvel TV wouldn't have had them in the first place.
I don't think it's that Feige didn't want anything to do with characters like DD and Luke Cage. It's more likely that they ended up on TV because Feige didn't have immediate plans for them and Netflix was waving fistfuls of cash at Loeb.
The Netflix shows have certainly been successful. But they the ties to MCU proper are pretty much non existent, so a reboot would be easy. Once the Netflix contract runs out, the options are to a) keep a handful of very popular Marvel characters on the shelf, b) bring the Netflix Defenders continuity into the cinematic MCU or c) reboot with new actors and a new continuity. My guess is that they will pick "c".
Not House of M. That needs to be a movie.
Give him everything!Not House of M. That needs to be a movie.
It should all be under one roof anyways. MS will be releasing R rated movies in no time, probably under a different label (i.e. Marvel Max or Marvel Knights). Disney needs to give Feige whatever he wants and give him all the control. He can hire minions he trusts to help him. Heck, I'd give him carte blanche over Star Wars too.
My hope would be that they maintain an extremely high level of quality (like Game of Thrones, for example), in which case, this is a great idea. But I had a similar hope for Inhumans and we saw how that turned out.
I really think (as I did with Inhumans) that with binge-watching and UHD TVs, we will see a shift in the coming years away from the two hour story presented in theaters and toward a high-quality, 10-13 hour story that people can watch in their homes.
Hopefully Disney recognizes that and is willing to invest to do that right.
Having Jon Favreau head the streaming Star Wars series is an encouraging sign.
The very fact Feige would be in charge points to them taking them seriously. Feige and co had no involvement in Inhumans.
