BLACK PANTHER huge hit!

[21stamps]

I wish that Disney World could build a Marvel Land.. just so the geeks would get spread out instead of being huddled in Galaxy’s Edge.

It would give me more breathing room.

No, we weren’t. Did you bother to understand the contract?

Yes we were. But that "insider" never visits anymore.

[jt04]

Did you bother to understand the contract?

Yes, now that we have a proper interpretation. I have read it.

 

[marni1971]

Yes, now that we have a proper interpretation. I have read it.

In that case you know "where we are". No "soooo" about it.

 

[FrankLapidus]

Yes, now that we have a proper interpretation. I have read it.

We had the proper interpretation all along, the relevant sections of the contract pertaining to WDW have been posted on this forum in their entirety.

 

[danlb_2000]

We were assured Marvel would never have a presence in a WDW theme park because of the contract. But now we are. Soooooo?

No one who actually understood the contract made the statement.

 

[danlb_2000]

Silly question, but what would happen if Disney did violate the marvel contract with Universal?

The contract stipulates that any disputes would be settled by arbitration. So if Disney were to violate the terms, Universal would request arbitration to settle it.

I will forever be fascinated by the Marvel contract that lets them do whatever they want at Disneyland, while at Disney World a giant star like Black Panther is Persona Non Grata.

makes perfect sense when you remember when that contract began and what the state of marvel was at the time - uni came up big for them...
twdc knew that full well going into purchase and said from the word go the contract would be honored; hasn't been touched since with a ten foot pole

obvious both companies have respected and continue to respect each others holdings - a messy legal squabble does neither any good

and yeah, from then to now not one word of the contract has changed to my knowledge... nothing new here

Well then that may explain the absence of a certain expert. It all makes sense now.

Since I don't know what "expert" you are talking about I can't comment further.

Marvel wasn't their first choice. They had nearly made a deal with DC to build the land as 'Gotham City' prior to talks with Marvel.

Yes and no. The wording has not changed, but the enforced terms have. Mainly that since Uni didn't build anything at Uni Studios Hollywood, the 'shrinkage' clause kicked in, which is what allows DLR to use Marvel properties.

I assume he's talking about Spirit.

Funny for him to ****talk an 'expert/insider' when he pretends to be one himself.

I have always said I am not an insider nor am I connected to anyone at Disney even by Kevin Bacon degrees of separation.

But you would consider yourself an expert, would you not?

How did you manage to quote something I've never posted?

first - why does it say evilchameleon? - did you edit that? if so, why? if not, ???

second, yes - marvel wasn't the first choice, but marvel themselves needed it badly
... and the dc/six flags relationship was there too

... then marvel just so happened to explode in the subsequent years...

if i'm not mistaken, character usage is ok at dlr, but still no 'marvel' however

 

[jt04]

But you would consider yourself an expert, would you not?

No, not really. It just comes across that way.

certainly caused me a double take

Based on ignorant statements that you have made that is painfully obvious

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.

I'm sure I'll enjoy the film, as I expect it to be political. I'm ready for it going in. I did NOT enjoy Happy Feet or that preachy Zootopia because they blindsided me with leftist propaganda. Most annoying...
