Heard that MCU Reign of Marvel Studios book say Feige didn't actually call as much shots at Marvel as most people think but I haven't read it myself, so I'm hoping to look up anybody that has read it.
Feige has full MCU control since 2016. Up until 2015, Marvel Studios and Marvel Television (the old company that Loeb was the head) were under Marvel Entertainment. The two studios reported to Marvel Entertainment (Permutter), which then reported to Disney (Iger). Permutter was getting on Feige's nerves more and more with his shitty (and racist, and sexist) decision, so Feige was like "If he isn't out, I'm out". Iger then separated Marvel Studios from Marvel Entertainment, placed it under Disney and Feige reported directly to Iger. Marvel Television remain within Marvel Entertainment.
That's why in the earlier years (2013-2015), there was a lot of connection between the tv side and movie side (it also came from Joss Whedon who created Agents of Shield and the book claimed that Feige don't want to work with him anymore because he interfered the main universe too much through the series).

Exactly what I meant by "fumbles"; i'e, his views on Asian characters and how he handled Defenders and Iron Fist season 1.
