>We don't really have Claremonts or Grunewalds who are THE GUY for their brand and can actually think long term.
That's a huge part of the problem: A company like Marvel doesn't WANT somebody to be "THE GUY" for their brand, they WANT short-term talent on their ongoing books, because they don't want another situation like with Claremont or the Image guys where the talent is seen as more important than the brand itself (even though "the brand" wouldn't have existed without the talent in the first place).
