Marvle writers talk all the time about how they have no idea what the movies are doing ahead of time except sometimes getting little notes. All KT knows about Captain Marvel right now is what she saw from the trailer. And she adjusted her script a little based off that.
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
The 90s was the height of the X-Men comics' commercial success which, in turn, is what spawned the cartoon and the film franchise. That's partly why.
There may also be some intent to try and get out in front of what a MCU X-franchise will probably look like. 2000s-early 2010s X-Men was dark, deconstructionist, and laced with moral ambiguity. That's pretty much the opposite of the breezy, high-adventure classical heroism of the MCU. Even in Infinity War, as dark as its ending was, there's no question who the bad guys and the good guys are. The MCU X-Men are very likely to be closer to the "minority superheroes" formula of the 90s than the "guerilla anti-heroes" formula of the post-M-Day comics.
That ignores that the '90s was the height of edgy gun-toting anti-heroes and storylines such as AoA. It was as "morally ambiguous" as the decades that followed, except through the eyes of a 9 year old boy.
That's it? I mean, it's not like writers or probably even most editors/TPTB et al., are gonna cop to any synergistic efforts and/or tendencies. To think there's no overarching, all-encompassing coordination and/or influence to some degree, is just denying the obvious. Not to mention enough past/present evidence that both points to, and supports, contrary--if loosely manged--practices. And the higher up the ladder you go, I'm sure, the more you are in the know. It's just illogical to think otherwise, IMO.
