"any answer I give you isn’t going to shake your belief in Santa." You're failing to cast doubt on the validity of my question. This isn't rocket science. Ant movie visibility = time to try an ant book. Seriously now, what's the point of pretending you don't have strategic mandates based on which characters your coworkers can make movies about? It only makes sense that you do. Why pretend otherwise? Also, if I'm getting run over by his sleigh, whether or not I believe in Santa is irrelevant.
We have strategic objectives based on what’s going on elsewhere, but they aren’t strategic mandates.
Nobody is telling the people in Marvel publishing what stories to do, what characters to feature, or any of that.
I think I’ve been pretty consistently up front about that.
The problem comes when you or other fans decide that some decision must be happening because of something that is unrelated to why something is being done, or that some decision must have been ordered by Shadowy Evil Overlords TM–or in some cases that some story decision is happening that isn’t actually happening. And nothing that anybody says will dissuade you from that belief.
You also don’t seem to understand that Marvel is one big organization. We work together hand-in-hand with the people making films and making television programs and everything else. So there’s a ton of back-and-forth in terms of what we’re doing and how it might be adapted for those mediums, and what people are trying to accomplish in those mediums. It’s not dictated, and it’s not cart-before-the-horse, but it is about everybody having respect for the source material and everybody working together to get the best results all around. Which we’ve been pretty successful at achieving.
