Consider that they could be easily implemented into the TL during the Onslaught/ Heroes Reborn or Infinity Gauntlet , House of M or newuniversal events as replacements that snuck in with the idea that some nigh godlike power (e.g. Franklin Richards, Wanda Maximoff, Rachel Summers) placed them into the TL, as a means to supplement or help the major heroes. Consider X-O Manowar was supposed to be the replacement for Iron Man. Bloodshot can be seen as the replacement for Captain America. Eternal Warrior can be seen as a replacement for Thor. Ninja at one point was a child merged with a video game character, so he can easily be linked to Spiderman..

Consider that this can easily happen starting in September 1996, with the Marvel/ Valiant mini-series Heavy Metal:

Could Cats have been saved if it received an overhaul like the Sonic Movie? Or was Cats doomed to fail from the beginning?
Doomed as the musical itself already is a bad joke. Or anything like rent, just the musical recorded
With all due respect, Cats is not the kind of work that would lend itself well to a movie adaptation. There's little plot to talk about, what exists on there is nothing more than a framing device for the musical numbers. It is an entirely sung musical, mind you.
Besides, the art direction itself is flawed since it is deeply rooted in uncanny valley. To take an example you brought up, Sonic's initial movie design seems to me as a failed attempt to balance realism and cartoon style. The redesign went into a more stylized direction, which worked because Sonic is after all aesthetically a cartoon character. You can't stylize a living human covered in fur.
Now, there were some concepts for an animated Cats movie back in the day. But, again, considering the source material, I think the best it could hope for is a cult classic flop.
Make some dying company today survive longer (I hope this isn't current politics, but some companies' downfalls start early enough (1980s or prior) to be relevant here).
At one point, MCI was very competitive with AT&T as a telecommunications company...
The question is who is going to get ABC? Sony? maybe fox? someone else?
Were Jojo + Ronnie James Dio active at the same time? If so, could a Ronnie James Dio + Jojo collaboration have ever happened?
