Because corporate and many others (including myself) thought Harmonious was going to be THE Epcot show for at least a decade. Luminous is the result of all of the (rightful) criticism levied against Harmonious.

News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
I will admit 2019-2021 was Foggy for me. Was there a better direction for Harm before it changed to the show we got on the 50th?
Which do you like better, L! or F!

We need more films and shorts that mention "heart".

Positive word of mouth is indeed making people actually want to go to Epcot. Imagine that.
I personally think the finale looks phenomenal. I don’t get the impression anyone in the park is thinking, “that it?”

It’s always possible to “go bigger” but the finale to me at least does not seem underwhelming in any way.

one thing that this show has that I have missed a whole lot is them starting the show by introducing the countries, that’s something I thought I’d never see again so even just watching it on video I gives me the chills. Feels almost like an older illuminations with a very updated soundtrack the more I watch it.

Play this show at 11:35 on NYE followed by the Toast to the New Year show and I think the energy will be off the chart. Maybe next year…
I don’t understand why Epcot cut Harmonious at 11:30 on NYE???? And now, it's the same with Luminous??

Money, of course. Maybe if Epcot is packed again on NYE like it was before Covid, they’ll bring back both showings of the normal fireworks. I personally think they should do L with the countdown at 6:30 for the younglings like MK does.

I just wish they’d add more countries to WS and have to update the show. Wouldn’t it be cool to have “welcome” in Portuguese with a Brazil pavilion? (Or in Greek with Greece, Hindi with India, etc)

Yes but I gave up on that idea. Should have at least kept millennium village

I don't know that I agree with this observation. It's just me. One personal experience. But my personal experience was that the YouTubers and lifestylers were very slow to warm up to harmonious. Out the gate they did not like it. In my posting history you will see me speak of this. Including how there's a disconnect between what people are saying on YouTube and what the crowd is reacting to in person. In person people were dancing along and singing. But online all you read about is how horrible Harmonious was and how nobody likes it. On their honest review from the producers that rhyme with the diz spoke of this. How they hated the show at the premiere but later warmed up to it.
Would you settle for The Silicon Valley Technocracy sponsored by Apple and a greeting in binary?

Agree. I always felt like reflections of Earth's final volley was not big enough. Same for harmonious. I do at feel that while it can always be bigger the final volley on luminous does satisfy. It is larger enough to wow and unquestionably is the finale.

It wasn't dramatically different but there were rumors of drones and then that didn't end up happening. Everything started going downhill when it was made clear that the barges weren't going to be moved out of the lagoon every night

For me, part of RoE‘s issue is it had two finales and I preferred the first one. “Celebration” is just an awesome 90 seconds or so of music.
