IMO, it's just as likely Disney/Marvel fired Wendig because he is a woefully untalented writer and this was the perfect reason to offload him. His Star Wars stuff was shockingly terrible.

I think somebody at Marvel got wind that this guy was getting a comics deal, imagined storyboarding his dialogue, went "fuck that" and started looking for a chance to dump him. The Kavanaugh fiasco came along at just the right time, the Wendigo got maximum triggered, they dropped the headsman's axe on him, and nothing of value was lost.
