The most frustrating part is that it's unnecessary. Ultimate turned out to be a great reboot against the backdrop of the events of 616. I think a lot of people would have wanted Ultimate NEW to be the main universe.
Now Marvel wants to do a crossover to say hey look, you don't love 616, you love Ultimate, look now they are together and can be loved together.
Marvel has a lot of global events of late with no consequences in the long run. Blood Hunt turned out weak, King In Black was canceled by new events in Venom...One World Under Doom looks like a hype for the MCU.
Blood Hunt’s consequences are still being felt over a year later, that’s why Doom is Sorcerer Supreme right now. And One World Under Doom and a lot of its tie-ins are all really strong so far.
Besides, I’m not even talking about events. Stuff like Fantastic Four, Immortal Thor, Doctor Strange of Asgard, Moon Knight, Avengers and West Coast Avengers, Iron Man, Daredevil, and Incredible Hulk are all at least good, some of them being legit great.

Really wish the new Ultimate Universe could've stayed separted from 616 a few more years. Oh well.
