BLACK PANTHER huge hit!

[Horizons '83]

I'd love for more Marvel to come, just not in Epcot. Maybe as a land in DHS, or as a 5th gate... (Yes, I know it's not possible because of the Uni contract - I'm speaking Hypothetically here...)

Sorry, I just don't get the whole super hero thing. Every movie is the same. Some muscular beast of a man saves the world from a monster or terrible person, its mindless. Just my 2 cents. I'll admit, that most Disney classics have the same notion but a much better story arc in my mind. This is why I loved Epcot of the hey day. No BS, just education and fun.

Gotta love this part.

Super Hero Land, coming to Disney California Adventure Theme Park!

not too far removed...

hmmm...

Unless Disney and Uni can negotiate a deal. They should try. I would be happy to mediate.

I would love to sit in on that meeting.

I don’t wish to belabor the point, but that’s not a loophole. It’s not that they’re able to build a Guardians attraction in WDW because of some ambiguity in the Marvel contract.

Disney actually has the Park rights to Guardians contractually.

yet another reason for go-go guardians...
it's twdc, free and clear

Shouldn't this thread be in the Parks Gen or Disney Movies forum?

I'm guessing you haven't seen the film this thread is about, have you? If you had, you wouldn't say it's "mindless" or "just the same". The big reason it's doing so well with audiences and critics is that it's not more of the same.

Please go on... I'd be interested to hear why its not the same.

Why not just see the film instead of having someone tell you all about it?

It's rather difficult to do so without spoiling the film.
In essence, it's not a movie about a muscle-bound superhero vs. an evil creature. It's about the culture these people have lived in for centuries, about their relationship with the rest of the world, their technology, and the way outsiders relate to it. The "bad guy" has motivations that really make sense for who he is. While the movie is called Black Panther, it's more about the people around him than T'challa himself, a lot of the time. It's easily the most richly written and beautifully designed Marvel/superhero movie yet.

I don't think you understand what a loophole is.

I'm not really a fan of going to the actual movies, crowds have been so disrespectful the last few times, I'd just rather way for its debut on NetFlix or Redbox.

That's encouraging, I appreciate the quick review.

I think I understand it pretty clearly - but here’s the dictionary’s take to remove my own education from the matter:

 

[nor'easter]

Because their must be a loophole. Disney would never build GotG unless there was.

The only loophole is in your logic.

You do know "Wakanda" is not a real place and if it was why would English be it's official language ?
Movie is an over the top, derivative fantasy full of plot holes that make no sense. For example how does a "magic meteor" led to an ultra advanced society.

On the top on that it is thinly veiled political film.

Building walls is bad.
How our society oppresses etc....

Yes I seen it will not watch it again.

Oh my gosh. SHOCKING!!! I had no idea that a fictional African nation is fictional!

I'd say it's not thinly veiled at all. It's explicitly political and the characters are motivated by world politics. That's a core theme of the entire film and extremely important.

Agreeing that this should be moved to General discussion, @wdwmagic

Also- wasn’t there talk of an Iron Man coaster coming to Universal a couple years ago?

Universal has been working on an Iron Man/Iron Legion E Ticket for IOA. Last I heard it was on hold again, but it's been awhile.

That is completely your opinion however you are in the very small minority of people disliking it. This has been a fantasticly reviewed movie and most people seem to absolutely love it.

Are you saying that based on actually SEEING the recent MCU movies, because I feel those are FAR from what actually happens in them.

I have never been a comic book reader or fan (just never interested me), however the MCU films are, in general, brilliant.

So can we assume that “Wakanda” will move into AK in the coming years? A follow up announcement after SWL and when Pandora’s newness has worn off and it’s AK’s turn again for big news?

I had the same fear while watching the movie but thankfully the current agreement with Comcast/Universal wouldn't allow for it. I would welcome a dedicated Marvel area in DHS or even MK, but please keep them out of DAK.
