You eyes won’t really be able to see them, so you’re sore for no reason

EPCOT New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

It’s called opinion. Same as yours.
They have to. Or it’ll be even less seamless.

Well based on non-zoomed in photos that have been posted here they seem very unnoticeable

I was really upset with these lights that are being put on. Now that I have seen them in the proper setting, it really doesn’t look bad at all. Maybe it is just me!?! I think.
Again, that’s opinion.

You can think of it as a trade-off between sacrificing the look of the structure for the pay-off of the effect. If the effect is good enough, the sacrifice is worth it. This is all subject to personal opinion of course. If you see the lights as objectionable under any circumstances, then no effect is worth it. But I think the general public will find the sacrifice minimal and the pay-off remarkable.
It's not too dissimilar from the cinderella castle dream lights. The effect is cool enough (for most people?) that it's worth draping the castle in trashy wires for a few months. Those lights look dreadful up close during the day, but blend in better from far away. Also similarly, adding these lights to SSE isn't physically destructive so removing them will be an easier affair whenever that time comes.
I'm really excited to see these lights in action.

We'll have to see how visible the lights are on the bottom section. Some of the wiring looks a little sloppy, too.

Clearly, they are noticeable enough to get attention (re: photos here on wdwmagic and elsewhere), but they plug the open holes that currently exist on the outside structure and I welcome this change. Dare I say that they add a more complete look than leaving the holes open/exposed?
Once entirely distributed amongst the structure, it will bring cohesion in visual design as opposed to the current holes that are comprised of either a blackhole, inner support beams, or chipped points from the triangles. (Which I recognize is another conversation entirely on upkeep, or the lack thereof.)

Problem is, we all KNOW they're there. It would be more work to try NOT to notice them. And of close the closer we get to SSE, the more obvious they'll be. Cripes, standing underneath, it'll probably seem like you could simply jump up and slap one of them on.

These things remind me of the robot, "Jinx" from the 1986 film, "Space Camp".

I‘m just gonna wait for you yourself to show up to EPCOT and see how they look. Then we’ll see.

Why not just wait until you’re at Epcot and form your own opinion?

I’m implying Martin, and by extention everyone else on the boards, including me, needs to do that. So yeah, I will.
Don’t you worry I will. When they let me.
“Look”’is half the problem. Blocked sight lines are the other. Although I also trust the opinion of a lot of local friends and cast who’ve given me theirs too.
I know how big these things are. I’ve seen what they look like close up.

I have the slight benefit of being local, so while I may get to see them first, it doesn’t mean much on your opinion.
Let’s have a coffee whilst we look over them then. We can share opinion.

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
Are we still taking about the polka dots on SSE?
Oil rigs. Apparently.
Am I supposed to be in a rage about something that *probably* will *seem* to be a slight protrusion on a sphere with many protrusions and large black holes where the shingles don't seemlessly meet as it is right now?
It seems I can probably jump up and put my fists through those gaping holes.
