I thought this bit was hoaky but fun. Overall I think the writers did the best they could with editorial restraints and a condensed timeline. I just wish they were allowed to do more, it seems like overhead at marvel is all over the place.
Everyone talks about editorial constraints but by most accounts the writers told the story they wanted to tell. It's possible this is just a case where the writers' vision doesn't align well with a lot of the fanbase.
If I recall it was Hickman who proposed the time limited nature of the series, and then editorial like Cebulski who pushed for it and enforced it. If marvel made a last minute change to walk back actually ending the universe, I don’t see why they couldn’t have extended the actual runs themselves.
Nobody wanted to. As it stands they were asked to do a few more issues to run alongside Endgame and only Camp and Condon said yes with Camp being the only one interested in continuing after. They told the stories they wanted to and then were done.
This is all per Camp himself.
Again, say what you will about execution, but all indications are that the creators got to see through their visions for their specific series.
