Arad also claimed to be a big Marvel fan, which you can see in the shows he produced before the MCU, even if he also kept the toyetic nature of the shows in mind. My guess is Arad knew loyalty to the comics would increase the audience, and thus the buyers. Perlmutter was the guy who replaced Terrance Howard with Don Cheadle because Howard wanted too much. Howard was the better Rhodey. It’s why I think too much credit is given to Perlmutter for the MCU and not enough for Arad. When he left, the MCU producers and writers stopped caring about comic accuracy.
