If he can't even remember the Annoying litte........*ahem* then it's best to show him the door...
Figment only acts the way he does in the current ride because he hated the second version as much as everyone else did and is calling out Nigel Channing on his bullcrap. So long as the fourth version doesn't have Nigel Channing in it, I think we'll be okay.
I'd love to have Dreamfinder back.
He ‘actually’ acts that way to subtlety mock the fans/Friends of Figment that complained & “made a big stink” about the 1st redo. Hence why the whole message is that “Imagination is turning your thinking upside down” and why the sign outside is identical to Tiki Room: Under New Management. It’s practically the same attraction but with reverse roles. Have the old character/fans be the annoying interference rather than the new characters/IP. Pretty petty & pathetic, isn’t it?
I don't believe this was the intent because it assumes that guests would go to an Imagination Institute to get generic hearing and vision tests. He's not interfering to annoy people, he's trying to save us from dying from boredom.
They don’t need to force more things into SEA.The way I see it is If an old man and a monkey can work..A man and his Imaginary Dragon has the same vibe going on...Surely the can add Dreamfinder to the S.E.A.
True, though you have to keep in mind, that it has its own fanbase, and said fanbase will only continue to grow overtime as S.E.A. is expanded. Plus, management is hellbent on theming everything around an already existing IP nowadays. Then again, with that said, I'd personally rather have an original series or movie dedicated to Imagination. Regardless, either scenario will help to convince the execs to greenlight the proper Imagination redo.
As mentioned earlier, the third Figment comic was going to go in a SEA connection direction with Dreamfinder and Figment's mission to unravel the secrets of Spaceship Earth before Marvel pulled the plug on the whole Disney Kingdoms line. And honestly, with Journey into Imagination and the SEA lore both being descended from the Discovery Bay concept, it's not as huge a stretch to bring them together as you might think.
While I would like to see Figment and Dreamfinder back together again, I think Figment can stand on his own as a character. He probably could even act as the solo guide through some sort of Journey Into Imagination, IMO. The main thing is to restore his original personality, which is innocent and full of wonder rather than obnoxious and in your face.
That, and the stuff flies off the shelves. I keep seeing a lot of people with figment hats and other merch around Epcot (even though they stopped selling them a while ago, I have one.)
