What happened is that during Phase 1 and Phase 2, Feige's autism was held back by a combination of various directors' creative visions and input (both good and bad) from various Marvel producers and executives. These Phases might not have been perfect, but Feige didn't have too much control. Ike Perlmutter being removed is what led to Kevin reporting directly to the chair of Disney instead from then on. Phase 3 is where the push for diversity and inclusivity began.
When Phase 3 concluded, Feige was made CCO for everything Marvel, giving him more creative control than ever.
Ike was a shithead but he knew what made sense. Marvel should be marketing towards young boys rather than single women and the illusive "modern audience". Feige still won't listen to reason.
