In some ways
I still hold my ground that Disney needs to stop cheaping out on us with IP and screen-based rides. $hapek loves it, I certainly don't.
Until someone posts the twelve page definition of 'screen' from the OED, this is all pointless.

I should be working..
I agree with the overall point.
I'll argue within the context of this land that would have been a big mistake though. Essentially eliminating a land for toddlers and building one that cannot accommodate pre-schoolers for anything (GoTG, a coaster and that pendulum concept), probably would have been a mistake. I also highly suspect the pendulum would have been very low capacity; I suspect this is the real reason the ride was dropped by TDA. I'm sure the ride would have been a blast though.
I'll argue again if they weren't going the pendulum route, they should have dropped Spiderman entirely in which case the Antman shooter was far more family appropriate, California based and physical.
Webslinging I'd say still reasonably fits the spirit of the IP.

This has to be an issue with how operations and park menu planning internally interacts with ip mandates and imagineering. These attractions are not presented from a pure intention. It feels like more often than not, whats happening is some park menu planners with their surveys on guest satisfaction and preferences say that we need a ride experience for x demographic. They look at imagineering and say what ride systems are available? Then someone else somewhere else mandates the IP that must be dealt with. If this is even remotely the case, it is the opposite of a creative process and could explain everything.
RE: screens.
Its very simple. Once you establish a visual or physical reality, everything into that reality must agree with the stated laws of that reality and things that don’t kill the immersion. For example look at how terrible the CGI is in the Star Wars prequel’s. The background image or he has cinematic noise and then the CGI 3-D models and animations are smooth and therefore look fake. So what if mission breakout has a good audio animatronic in the preshow. Ths actually hurts the ride. You’re in a three-dimensional space we are feet away from a three-dimensional animated character. Our imagination fills in the blanks about what this collectors fortress looks like on the interior and we are given a ton of screen based media and renderings of the space that the guardians of the galaxy are imprisoned in before we get on the ride and nothing is photo realistic and it’s all screen based! These two versions of reality conflict within the same attraction and make it impossible to suspend disbelief. The ride frankly should have zero animatronics in the preshow OR more practical sets, classic forced perspective, and AAs. Imagine having a miniature built of the guardian’s cages that shakes and sparks, while the walls behind them are projections with added media and action. That would be far better than what we see today. Pick a medium and stick to it for the duration of that attraction. And that doesnt mean exclusively screen or practical. But consistency is key. You can’t have projections of characters in the foreground and then a minute later a life-size anima Tronic. However you can have an anima Tronic attraction loaded with screens that are just used as background projections and it’s totally fine. But once you choose a way of presenting something you best stick to it.
For the TL;DR crowd:
You wouldnt put AAs or screens in its a small world because either is some apparent best at something. Pick an art style and stick with it.

Yeah I don't disagree. But we still have to see what it will be. HOPEFULLY it will surprise us but not holding my breath too much lol.

Larger you mean? It seems like (al based on rumors) tda is throwing away incredible experiences due t9 capacity concerns but the replacements are dramatically inferior.
no, smaller. i was thinking you do that. and the ride pendulum's would be able to be closer together, increasing capacity.

I seee. Make the ride vehicle and its swinging radius smaller. Yup suddenly the footprint of peter pans flight is a smallest case scenario reference for a suspended spiderman ride. Im holding out hope that its still amazing and not a simple shooter.

The thing is, using any screen for any ride, Flight of Passage included most likely, will probably never be as impressive to me as a ride with an actual set. I’ve ridden multiple screen-based rides, and while they’re entertaining, none of them give me the same feeling I feel when I ride Pirates, Indy, and Mansion.

If you want an example of a ride with screens and interactive elements at it's worst. MotionGate Dubai has a Ghostbusters ride which is a poor man's Men and Black and very cheap looking.

I understand that they just don't appeal to you, YMMV. Disney can and still does make very impressive large scale attractions that have physical sets and AAs. I know that DLR hasn't gotten one in a long time. But that is because there is limited space. Maybe when the rumored FL expansion or TL redo comes about you'll get your large scale attraction with all the physical set and AAs. However with the limited space left I just don't see very many of those projects happening.
I know that SW:GE is one of your least favorite projects in the history of all Disney projects, but I have a feeling Battle Escape is going to be very impressive.
