The difference here is that I trust Feige, while you don't seem to. Which is weird to me, because those movies you mentioned in your top four and seven were all still approved by Feige. Which means at the very least he understands when to leave the creators vision alone. Feige is more of a fan of the material than Perlmutter ever was
That's 7 out of 22 (or twenty three, I don't have the count off the top of my head). The difference is that you trust him to hand down good mandates, whereas the examples of what I like best coming from the Marvel films aren't a matter of the right person handing down good mandates, but the leash being looser on particular films. That leash being looser would be exemplified, to me, by his not interfering in the books. Not by his interfering but in a better way.
You're gonna get editorial mandates either way. You could do soooooooo much worse than Feige. When you he starts treating the comics the way Perlmutter has, then I could understand how you could feel that way. But dude has earned my trust
Or he could just not hand down mandates. Editorial making editorial calls and corporate making editorial calls are two very different things.
As far as the event book stuff and sales, a creative vision like Feige's could lead to less events, even if it's only one a year instead of the several we get now
But again, the problem is sales and distribution. Feige's creative vision doesn't fix that problem. Limiting event books wouldn't fix that problem. It would just result in fewer sales. Which would just result in fewer more experimental/risky books being printed (which is already a problem).
If you want fewer events, you need to kill Diamond, or at least weaken its grip on comic distribution.
