About the new (Secret Wars) Marvel announcement

[lucre-noin.livejournal.com]

Under cut for Hickman's Avengers and New Avengers spoilers and the next main event (Secret Wars).

I was just wondering if anyone else is worried? Or if this is just a clever way to dismantel the Ultimate universe? (I've never read Ultimate!verse so I am not sure what's going on there).
This is the link of Marvel's announcemente LINK and basically "they are dissolving the Ultimate Universe into the main 616 Marvel continuity. Details are scarce, but so far we know that there is the equivalent of a major continuity alteration underway after the big Secret Wars event. Secret Wars #1 ships in May, while what is presumed to be the last issue of Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man is likely April’s #12"
and

"It’s been the super secret plan of the Marvel staff for more than five years." (So in my hopeful little soul I still hope it's a way to undo Civil War somehow). "“This puts an endcap to decades of stories and starts a new era. When you see the scope of the event and what we’re willing to do [you’ll be amazed][.According to Alonso this isn’t necessarily part of anything to do with the MCU, which is developing its own continuity. “It all starts on the page. We tell our own stories, this is exactly what we’re doing here. You’ll be shocked for this.”"

Getting rid of the Multiverse.. *sigh* But Marvel, that was one of your selling factor.
Its so disheartening if your favourite Universe is killed off. Stop writing in it is already sad, but basically killing, oh sorry, "merging" it? Urgh. No no no.

It's already sad that because MCU is popular, it lands in the Comicverse, even if it doesn't make any sense in it and makes things worse.
(and I still kinda like MCU.. kinda, with every Movie it starts to get less, I admit. The last Movie and the look to Age of Ultron made me pretty anti-excited, I admit.)

And as someone also sad, events all the time, hardly any breath between that and time to get really good storylines going. Storylines that brings the character further again and solids the friendships that the crossover and big events are destroying.

Maybe the "new" beginning might be good. But seriously, I am a pessimistic person and I think it will just end up in them trying to fix it again. And I hope that means maybe actually having fun with the "awesome" Multiverse instead of only destroying.
Come on Marvel! DC was already stupid in doing it, be better. ..right, I am sorry. Nevermind Marvel. Making the fans happy so they would actually buy the book instead of throwing the fans of with the big stories and events so they don't wanna buy the regular books again and only basically buy the big events to see what you are screwing up now. That will work, I am sure.
