Marvel animation is part of his new responsibilities as well as Marvel TV.

Feige likely won't mess with the comics. What it likely means is that:

• Synergy across movies and shows.
• No shows that are MCU in-name only. All are connected.
• Possible reboots of the old Marvel TV shows.
• Higher budgets for said shows.
• Better animated series, likely on par with DC if treated with the same seriousness as the movies.
• Better video games, again, if treated as seriously as the movies. Hopefully treated as legit games and not just propaganda.
• More digital comics, which they haven't explored much in the past.
• Possible overhaul of Marvel Unlimited to include Marvel movies and shows like DC Universe.

There's been a discrepancy with how Marvel has been viewed as a movie company versus a comic book, TV, animation, and video game company, sadly, with the latter often being seen as the lesser. Hopefully with Feige in charge of everything, they'll give the feel of a strong and fully unified company which is for the best. Normally, I'm against one person having total control, but... I think Feige earned his auteur license here.

One one hand, this could be good if it leads to Perlmutter having less power, and Feige is someone that knows the characters well.

On the other, could lead to more "movie synergy" ugh...

Do we really need two of these?

I think Perlmutter definitely has less influence now. As for "movie synergy", none of the synergy we've seen so far has been Feige's responsibility, but the outgoing order. I wouldn't be surprised if Feige doesn't really put any extra emphasis on it. He's definitely a comics fan and his interest seem all over the place, hopefully he realizes its in his best interests to let the comics go a bit wild.

Sorry I missed it. Plus that is in marvel comics forum.

I think Fiege will want the comics to sort of line up with the movies, but he makes quality products and he's a fan.

This does sort of make you realize that Hickman is probably writing X-Men as some sort of a movie pitch.

[Londo Bellian]

That would mean the MCU X-Men start off in Krakoa, without ever passing through the Westchester/Australia/Utopia phase.

I don't know what to say.

People keep saying this and I keep not seeing it. So far, nothing about HoXPoXDoX seems designed to me multimedia friendly to me, and Hickman has definitely talked about in the past about taking advantage of the fact that you can do crazier shit in comics than in movies.

If so I’m all in. Loving it so far!

Well, it is Marvel Comics news.
