Avengers Campus - Reactions / Reviews

[Californian Elitist]

Ugh, an office park. They should have taken the aesthetic of Mission: Breakout and extended it throughout the entire land.

And made it worse? No, thanks.

Doing something like that wouldn’t make sense anyway.

This is DCA’s salute to Silicon Valley! Office park works fine.

Lordy, I mean some of y'all will never be pleased with anything, period.

I would love to hear logical and realistic ideas from the constant haters of what they would like to see in its place.
A recreation of New York? A giant spider web? Iron Mans Malibu Mansion (Hey at least thats IN California!)

I swear some of you guys clearly just get off on hating everything and being nothing but negative.

I understand it's not as exciting as Batuu or Cars Land, but those places lended themselves to incredible settings. What would you suggest for a Marvel Land? To me I actually quite like the aesthetic so far and am excited to see where it goes. Certainly looks a hell of a lot better than Tomorrowland!

I’ll go with none of the above. If they can’t create a compelling Marvel environment then it doesn’t deserve its own theme park land. Better than Tomorrowland isn’t the highest bar to clear.

Darn, you got us!

Clearly, we all get off on hating Disneyland.

Outside of more alienesque like GotG:MB (not that you wanted that but just saying) what would you have liked to see for Marvel Land?
What would a SuddenStorm Avengers campus look like?

I would have liked for it to look like Tomorrowland 67.

I would have liked for it to look like Tomorrowland 67.

I like that style and think it would be interesting to see a Marvel spin on that, but it wouldn't have worked for the content. So I know that a certain segment of the fanbase here don't like the modern aspect of this, especially since it brings back memories of DCA 1.0, but it fits the content and story being told. They are set in the modern world. I know that for a lot of fans out there this is an argument for why Marvel doesn't belong. But at least they are being true to the content and story. If it looked like TL 67 and the story was set in the modern age (which we already knew it was) it would have been panned by critics and fans alike.

Anyways I think the look fits the story being told, is it what I would have chose no, but it fits.

No argument there, but how do you know for certain it won't be compelling? You've reached that conclusion from a single rendering?

Well I guess the sliver lining is they can still make Tomorrland look like Tomorrowland 67.

I mean it looks like Circuit city/ business park to me from the concept art but I think we can at least say it’ll be better than GOTG and Pixar Pier.

 

[Sharon&Susan]

Marvel is the theme park equivalent of video game movies.

 

[Disney Irish]

Well I would hope that they do something different for TL instead of rehashing an old look, no matter how much I like that look. I'm not a big nostalgia for nostalgia sake kind of guy. I rather look forward instead of looking back. So I rather have a different look.

I can appreciate that. I’d be good with something more futuristic too. As long as they make it a “world on the move” again.

 

[DisneyDrum]

we have a rendering from NYT! Look very futuristic! DCA has a version of Tomorrowland.

Agree with the architecture complaints. But what if the spiderman inclusion wasn't artistic license, but an actual there using stuntronics? Would be cool, but how long would it last?

I think this belongs in its own thread. But I'm not sure how you can do "world on the move" when human future likely lies off-world. I know that we're probably a few (maybe a dozen) generations away from that, but that is our future. If we want Disney to fix TL for good we need to think beyond just this world and think to humans living and working off-world.

So in my opinion a new TL would have futuristic look with the focus on a multi-planet human future of both living and working off-world in space and on a new planet (or multiple planets).

I’d prefer something more earth based and optimistic. What you re proposing is too far into the future and too sci-fi

Valid points, and nothing new on the Internet. But here's why I'm grumpy about this "announcement"...

This is clearly just the rather underwhelming facade for one, single C Ticket ride; the Spiderman shoot 'em up thing. But allegedly there's an entire land coming. There's a giant Avengers logo on the entry plaza, for no apparent reason because there's no Avengers building shown beyond the Spiderman building, with Stark Industries on it. It's obviously a weird attempt by Chapek to fess up to something being built, but not talk about it.

It would be like Walt Disney announcing his New Tomorrowland in 1966 and releasing this artwork...

 

[Suspirian]

I don't find the concept art that offensive, but it still leaves a bit more to be desired (reminds me a bit too much of The Grove). I feel like Marvel through a retro futuristic lens would be a bit more interesting and would fit better with the aesthetic of the rest of the park.

I can appreciate that, but I just think if we want to "future-proof" TL we have to think beyond this world.

Anyways I think can see why WDI/TDA has been pushing this off.

Personally I think more details are coming in the future. This is one image in one article that everyone has jump all over because of the lack of information, which is understandable. Things are likely to change between now and the time the land actually opens, as we all know.

This could also be test balloon "leaked" by WDI to see fan reaction. And then modifications will happen based on that reaction.

Anyways, we'll have to wait and see what details come out of D23.
