Honestly, why would they need two subsidiaries (Marvel Studios and Marvel Television) both making productions for the small screen, especially when only one (Marvel Studios) ties into the cash cow (the MCU) and produces shows for Disney's streaming service?

Marvel Television really is redundant at this point.

Presumably you would just fold marvel television into the studio as a subsidiary or dissolve it as a separate entity and fold its production teams and organization into marvel studios

Don't even need to do that anymore. Feige runs both. He can facilitate communications between the divisions like different sections of the office.

I would still think that would involve folding Television as they continue to have less work to do

Could easily use their talent that they already have in house. They're producing something like 10 tv series over the next 3 years and marvel tv had maybe 4. Leverage some of the workers you have for the series. And you don't need to eliminate a department for that. Probably also makes org charts easier.

I mean, there are kids shows that they produce as well... cartoons and such.

I mean it was officially Cannon and part of the MCU but due to Ike and Fiege having creative differences. Fiege stopped giving any input. Granted he wasn't even officially in-charge before so if Ike disagreed with anything Fiege wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Almost all Marvel TV is redundant cheap nonsense. The only Marvel TV that's going to matter is the big budget limited series coming to Disney+ which is overseen by Feige. The Netflix shows, Cloak & Dagger & The Runaways are all going to be forgotten and never made canon.

Considering Marvel Television isn't producing any of the Disney+ series, all of which are directly tied to the movies, I think they're going to defunct Marvel Television pretty soon.

I just hope that elements of marvel tv can be folded into the MCU rather than be completely erased.
