Planet Hulk one my favorite straight to video Animated Comics movies but it came out right after Disney bought Marvel and woulda have been in production from before. That's why it's a Liongate movie, they distributed alot of Marvels animated movies before Disney came along.
Thought Justice League vs The Fata Five was pretty good.
I was speaking more from Marvel's financial standpoint; they don't need more animation projects to end in the black. For that matter, none of us consumers need anything that's entertainment. Would I like more cartoon stuff? Sure, but the world will go on if that never happens.

That's incredibly subjective. Not everyone likes all mediums, or the same things. Heck, most of my favorite comics were made in the past the '00s and I think we're in a golden age of superhero movies in terms of consistency and all that. Besides, these things wax and wane, and then wax and wane again all the time. It may not be good now, but eventually, things will shift in a direction you like again.
2018, the year Marvel Studios released Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Ant-Man and the Wasp. Yeah, Sony was not the darling that year (and I'm saying that thinking that Into the Spider-Verse was the best of the four Marvel-based movies that year).
Be great if he did (and I think that if you want it, best keep on eye on Disney+), but the guy has got a system going, so I don't think he's in any danger of losing to DC anytime soon.

X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."

As Midvillain said Disney had nothing to do with Planet Hulk, other than I guess not shelving it for petty reasons after they bought Marvel. But Disney is the reason why no other such film came out after Planet Hulk. Since Disney axed that line of animated movies that'd been done by Liongate, and hasn't released anything similar since, I think it's safe to say they don't see the point or value to such a line of animated movies for older fans.
Personally I like Planet Hulk, but I wouldn't put it above Under the Red Hood, The Dark Knight Returns, or Crisis on Two Earths from DC. But that's just my own preferences.
For movies, Feige won't be pressured until Marvel is no longer making billion dollar films. Right off the top of my head I see Black Panther 2 doing a billion. While, I see the other films that it has lined up making at minimum 500 million each.I still think the pressure will come from decreased merchandise and licensing sales. Once HBO Max goes live in May, cartoons like Looney Tunes, animaniacs, adventure time, as well as more DC characters will provide more competition. Truthfully, I don't see any of the upcoming MCU films having characters that can replace Captain America or Iron Man among kids but I may be wrong. Hopefully, I am right because quality in the different mediums should increase from more competition.
I think the biggest thing people need to remember is Disney doesn't care about making content that teenagers or adults want, its strictly about the 13 and under crowd. If adults like their content, great but if not it's no big deal because it doesn't mean that they still won't take their kids to see it.

The truth is Dc will always be better in the animation department because unlike their movies they seem to get what fans want. Dc is just kicking Marvel's butt on the tv market. That may change when Disney comes out with their plus shows. But disney has always been geared more towards kids and I dont see that really changing in the near futyre.

Depends how far they go on Hulu. If these 4 adult cartoons are all we are gonna get then sure. But also we havent seen the Disney+ produced animation yet. What If?, some anime style Future Avengers show. Disney with they're animated films are masters of making films that kids and adults love. So with Marvel tv gone we gotta see what Marvel Studios does with this stuff. Is it gonna be more like the MCU and Disnet films or more like Avengers Assemble and Utlimate Spiderman.
Then the TV market in genral yea the live action stuff is basicaly MCU movies spread out over 6-8 hours. That stuff is gonna be huge. Have to wait and see how Green Lantern in HBO max goes. Cause that's gonna be the competition. CW shows are fun for what they are but they are basicaly Soap operas. Titans is awful, Doom Patrol is good but I hope HBO max saves it and gives the same cast and writing team some real money to work with. Comics based content is exciting looking forward. Good time to be a comic fan.
Speaking of that...does Sony still hold the rights to animated movies with Spider-Man? Interestingly the Spectacular animated series started off as DTV movies so I would say that Sony knew what it was doing when it came to animation. (I'm just saying if they wanted to do a Hobgoblin mystery DTV, I'm here waiting for it)
Considering that they just cancelled a couple of the adult shows that were in development like Howard the Duck, I'm going to say that the odds of more mature animation is not good.
MODOK is still happening, I guess because it was already too far along.
I'm sure that's partly Loeb, but AEMH's replacement also clove much closer to the film looks and situations. AEMHs used the Phase 1 films as a start point but rapidly became an echo of the classic comics. I can see one of The Mouses functionaries saying, "That's not what we're putting on the big screen or in Walmart."
The quality thing? Again, I'm sure Loeb had a hand, but I'm equally sure somebody asked about the ROI.
