The whole thread is interesting and had some neat tidbits. Guardians was more or less left the way it was because Perlmutter wanted it to fail to reign in Feige, Norton and MCC creative beef, Perlmutter and the committee largely setting the precedent for Phase 2’s quality problems viewing it as a way to move merchandise (Hela was supposed to be Thor 2’s villain) and some of the constraints still today, the next Big 3 being Panther, Spidey and Carol but Boseman untimely passing, Sony taking back Spidey and Feige and the parliament leaving Larson to the wolves, No Way Home barely making it out alright, Chapek and Iger pushing Armor Wars and Fantastic Four despite not being ready, the shows not being run by Feige but the executives, Feige firing Alonso was mainly due to her response to the Don't Say Gay law
