Does anything Marvel really need a manga prequel or tie-in of any kind really?

In Japan, yes. They don't really know the Marvel heroes (few enough Americans knew the Doc to begin with), and they're not quite 100% clear on the concept of full-time Capes-For-Hire either-- There're plenty of arcane-symbol sorcerers in manga, they won't have any problem parsing that; Japanese readers just need a little push about putting this one in MCU context, and why he knows Thor and Iron Man. |

Considering these are never released in the west, no, they're not needed. However manga/anime adaptions are how Marvel promotes their movies in Japan.

This is quite true. They really don't get the concept of our superheroes at all, but I guess the same can be said of us not getting the concept of theirs either. |
