Serious question, if there's a solid answer for that distinction then I am very interested in hearing it.
Marvel develops its own films, they are literally a separate studio, they are simply owned by Disney now who distributes the films...as far as I know they have very little input creatively. I just don't see how people are jumping for joy at this news...Disney's best stuff is from Pixar, and they develop their own stuff, Disney, again, merely distributes for the most part. Do you honestly believe Disney is just going to hand over the creative side of a franchise they just paid $4billion for to a visionary talented enough to make something great? They will committee and market test that shit into the fucking ground. This series is purely a cash cow now, nothing more. They will treat it like a $2 whore. At least Lucas had the decency to stop making Star Wars films. Now they'll be popping out like Mexican babies. Will it be better than Phantom Menace? Maybe, but that's not saying much.
