Marvel Secret Wars: Upcoming Changes, MCU and All That

So Marvel has a big event going on right now to really shake up how it's comics are laid out. A lot of big changes happening, see good overviews:

Things like the new Falcon as-Captain America and Lady Thor are sticking., while Marvel seems to be reconnecting other Universes into the main one (Miles Morales hopping over to whatever the new Universe is called), while possibly, and this is still a big theory, giving the X-Men their own Universe.
When this all started, some people said it was to align this to the MCU. But given the announcements, that isn't the case.
What's super interesting, especially from the perspective of Marvel as entertainment comapny and not "Comic Book" Company, is broadening appeal significantly.
More female headliners than ever before: Ms. Marvel, Silk, Spider-Woman, and the all-female A-Force. A big shift towards an even bigger cosmic Universe: Guardians, Utimates, Starlord, Venom, etc. Old Man Logan becoming THE canon Wolverine. All fun stuff.
What I'm excited for: Uncanny Avengers, Dr Strange, The Vision, Uncanny Inhumans, Starlord, Guardians, among some others.
The big questions are:
1. How many people think this is a permanent change?
2. How does this effect the MCU if at all?
3. Is splitting the X-Men and the Avengers Universes make sense? (The persecution angle in the X-Books did lose steam over the years as there were always other supers running around.)
Anyway, nerdy thread, but have at it.

Is the split off of X-Men official? Pretty sure there is about to be a X-Men vs. Inhumans conflict(with Beast on the Inhumans side)

every Carnage mini-series of the past decade has been phenomenal. cant wait for more.
honestly, the spider-verse stuff bores me to death. really "kitchy" idea thats been played out. ready for it to go away.
not sure about thisx-men split universe. uncanny avengers has quicksilver and deadpool in it. unless they are now cut out of mutants.
the inhumans and guardians books look interesting. a lot of these seem really hit or miss. probably wait for the reviews and see which ones are worth reading.
right now Jason Aaron's Thors book has been one of the best books of the year. its the wire meets Thor.
eta: i find it extremely interesting that Hickman, the guy crafting secret wars and the new universe, isnt slated on a single new title.

Old Man Logan becoming THE canon Wolverine.
Couldn't care less about the rest. Sounds stupid actually.
But Old Man Logan as canon means the villains win and Logan is the resistance. . .so I'm in.

Man, a lot sure has changed since I quit comics around 1995. I'm totally lost with all this.

honestly it ticks me off.
Particularly the whole Morales spider man thing. Peter Parker is Spiderman...they tried to kill him off with the whole Doc Ock disaster and when that didn't work had to bring him back. (Sure that was the plan all the time right?
)
This will be no different.
I'm also tired of every single time sales are down we have to re boot the comics...yet again. Here is a thought, let's get some original stories going. And instead of feminizing all the heros, let's give the girls their own damn heros.
Whatever. I stopped reading Marvel right after the "Doc Ock" bullshite...this won't bring me back.
