I think I'll abstain from this vote, due to the many good options here.

Just because I want to enlarge the MCU universe with interesting characters. In particular, the series would tell stories different from the movies. This is a huge scope for introducing characters that we don't manage to focus on in big films.

Oof, although you aren't wrong. I didn't really realize how bad Loki was after reading Agent of Asgard and wow, it really is rough to know how much of a woobie they made Loki.

I really want a tv show that does Loki justice. I liked the concepts of Loki, but let's be real: it was a TVA show, not a Loki show. I want to see proper Loki wheeling and dealing! Considering he's with the Kree here, we can show lots of that….

Alright we'll close the vote here. You're now in charge for the TV adaptations for Marvel, however you still answer to Ike, Avi and the Committee. This is a mayor step up than if you had tried it on your own (I.E. Ike's in charge, you'd have to go from Creative Consultant and climb the steps from there).
Next update should be the Production and Post-Production for The Invincible Iron Man.

Alright. Let's make a fully integrated tv/movie universe.
We need a continuity team and event trackers asap.
None of that "Where are the other heros when the president was kidnapped?" or "Why didn't Captain America call Tony for help when hydra took over shield?" nonsense.

Oh right, that reminds me how in Agents of Shield they weren't told about Endgame. So the Snap never happened in the last season.

They didn't even know shield was getting taken over by hydra in winter soldier. It caused them all kinds of problems and they turned one of their main characters into a traitor and they had no idea it was going to happen.
Ward was never meant to be a bad guy. Really upset the actor when he found out as I recall. He really liked marvel and the show.
This is why coordinating your projects is so important, we don't even necessarily need to micromanage the tv part, we could hand it off to someone else and just coordinate our efforts.
I still think we should push for the tv parts to give context to the movies though. The movies ought to be big, pivotal events whereas a tv show is more of a long haul sort of deal.

Jesus, that's the first time I heard about. That's just terrible for the actor.
Yeah, we should really ensure we coordinate future projects.

We just need a team keeping track of where the known characters are and the timeline of events so everything can fit.
See where people are busy so if you want a solo hero adventure do it when the other heros are already doing something or make it a small scale personal threat instead of a world ending crisis where everyone should be involved.
The TV shows should be easy as hell.
There are a million characters we can use. Have a daredevil crime drama or she hulk court room dramas. Have Damage Control do a show where they come in after the movies and deal with the consequences. Have some street level heros deal with gangs in some random city. Have a sci-fi show where a marvel genius think tank deals with the insane tech that will start showing up.
Tons of options. Just have to keep track of things and keep it from getting tripped up.

Unfortunately, I don't know if our acquisition of Hulk includes She-Hulk or not. Originally it was owned by another company. Could be included though, because it's technically a Hulk-related property.
I agree with what you're saying though. It's easy enough to make the tv shows deal with threats that aren't as simple as using force. Spycraft, unrest, societal changes, fallout from one of the big movies, etc.
For instance, if we do an invasion of New York type of deal with aliens, have a show cover what impact that had on the city and the world. Have groups fighting and studying advanced tech. Have minor villains pop up using some of this alien tech.
There are options, and if done right it could serve to make the whole MCU feel more alive.

Agreed! One thing that would be very cool in the future is have a overarching element across every ongoing series at the time. Namely the effects of the Snap and Blip.
Seeing the Snap from Yelena's perspective was just bonechilling. And it makes me want to see more of that.
Gah, I wish Marvel had some real cash right now, Fox is so… so cheap. We could just snap them up with one bite if only Marvel had more profitable enterprises.
Could we spend a turn carousing some rich investors or something?

The Snap is probably still doable. Really good tension and stakes there. Excellent way of throwing together unusual team ups and shaking up the world.
The blip was a disastrous decision that everything afterwards has tried to deal with with a few throw away lines and then acting like it never happened. The few things that tried to address it did it very poorly.
The world would be ruined from the loss of half the population and ruined again by doubling the population 5 years later. This is usually ignored.

We could change the time skip to one or two years.

Huh, you're not wrong about that.
Really, thinking about it now. The Snap alone would have resulted in a lot of societal collapse.I feel 1/2 years is still as problematic as five years.
Perhaps we could something ballsy and not undo the Snap?

Ho ho ho, fans will be mad... If we DO go this route, let's pick who gets snapped wisely.
