Isnt that the point of having names like MU (marvel universe) and MCU?"we should respect that Kevin Feige wants it that way."
Jokes aside, the comics and MCU versions are (like you said) vastly different in many, many ways, which is why they originally had different designations. It helps to make each different version unique. It's like calling the Arkham games the DCAU or saying the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen version of Hogwarts is canon for HP. Plus as said before, they're outright connected like Across the Spider-Verse showed
But it's only logical that MCU has its own 616 because it isn't a part of the comic multiverse...neither is the comic multiverse a part of the mcu multiverse. They different so much so that you cannot call MCU 1999999....I believe that's the entire point behind Kevin's insistence. Sometimes doing what the fans want (which I believe MCU directors do more than any live action franchise ever) leads to some incoherence and disaster.As for the respect the vision stuff, way too many people think this means the directors/storytellers don't have to care about the fans. I'm not saying fans should have the last word, what I'm saying if that just because the vision of the writer should be respected doesn't mean they should ignore fans (or at least respectful fans who just want would actually accept a personal story as long as they don't feel the writers just said "You do not matter".
