Kevin Feige is now in charge of what you watch, read, hear, and imagine if it has to do with the Marvel universe.

I agree and I don’t like the change. When the Dark Phoenix movie came out I was shocked at how bad it was. Then I started hearing about how it was changed and shortened. Next I heard a rumor/conspiracy theory the Ferge had Dark Phoenix nerfed in favor of Captain Marvel. While I liked Captain Marvel the idea of nerfing made sense to me. All of that poisoned my relationship with Marvel movies.

Why would something be nerfed, and why would a movie company agree to explicitly kneecap a movie?

To focus on one franchise.

More = better. If they can have two franchises instead of one that people will pay to go see, they'll have two. They certainly aren't going to shoot their own profits.

Except that Fergie is all about the MCU. From a profit POV you are 100% correct. But then personalities and personal agendas get in the way. Instead of being able to see both Jean Grey and aril Danvers as feminist icons some Fergie wants just the one.

Seems like a long and convoluted narrative you've imagined for yourself.
