IMO it's better now than the rotting corpse that it was in the late 90's and early 2000's...

“the late 90's and early 2000's” were after they had already “ruined Epcot”

Yes, I know... hence why I said the Epcot of today is better than that period of neglectful stagnation...
I don’t know... the park still has areas of greatness amongst a sea of mediocrity.Yes, I know... hence why I said the Epcot of today is better than that period of neglectful stagnation...

This so called "mediocrity" is still leaps and bounds above any other non- Disney entertainment offering IMO... well except for Imagination. There's no excuse for that...

I agree. In fact, last time my family was in FL, we chose EC over IOA. The only thing worth going to UNI for is HP, well that and the Popeye raft ride on a hot day (wettest raft ride ever).

And this is coming from myself who loves Universal!
The problem is it’s still a cliff drop from what the park used to be like in it’s hey day. IMO. But we digress.

Just my opinion that it dates it
I get where folks are coming from (I totally do see your point and wasn't looking at it from that perspective, if I'm honest about it)
It's what folks want to see *now*. And that's fine.
I feel like people are a little overly defensive of Marvel, LOL. I wasn't even being critical but so many kind of jumped down my throat at my opinion ... (not really you). I mean, I love Guardians of the Galaxy but when Chris Pratt is 60 ...

This was the approach towards the end of Eisner / first 10 years of Iger, neglect to the point where anything is better than what's there.Yes, I know... hence why I said the Epcot of today is better than that period of neglectful stagnation...

Don't get me wrong, there are very few places in the world I'd rather be other than Epcot, the problem is 10 of those places are also Disney parks.

I think adding Tom Holland to literally anything would instantly improve it for the rest of time... but that's just me.

The problem I'm having with the Marvel attractions is that they're using the casts faces (how long will Ant-Man last in Hong Kong? Does Iron Man show RDJ's face? I can't recall truthfully). It makes it dated almost instantly. Just like RnRc now using an aging band (regardless of my feelings on both; I actually like the Guardians but they've given them limited shelf life in terms of attractions)
That's like if they suddenly started using Tom Holland in Universal's Spider-Man attraction. The version now is classic. It would be dated.
The problem is folks want these things "now" and Disney wants to capitalize on it, but in 10-15-20 years they have to re-theme, but hey, I guess that's another execs problem, right?
Exactly, most of Marvel's live actions will look outdated in 20 years.
But perhaps Guardians can be the exception if they go with just the CGI characters in the future. This way it is like Disney and Pixar animation, timeless. Also the characters never age or throw adult tantrums and go to their trailers.
And if the actors doing the voices want more money, you fire them and just get soundalikes.

Agree. If you were to rate all parks, all versions (where clearly delineated), all types (Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, etc.), for me hands down, 1983 Epcot was the best, awe inspiring park to go to ever.

It's not IN Epcot. How can they ruin Epcot with something that's not IN it?

He has a new Chaos Walking movie. Perhaps they could build a ride at DHS and fool us into thinking it's Peter Parker (and, interestingly, Rey).I think adding Tom Holland to literally anything would instantly improve it for the rest of time... but that's just me.
I know what you're thinking--it looks like they just finished going Stand-by for Flight of Passage.

I don't even know what this film is about, but I'll see it based solely on this image.
