Yeah what I get from his post is that A. Guardians may not be plastered on the Marquee...and B. it may not include any of the Guardians...only C. Characters associated with them like....The Collector

Just call it "Babysitters of the Cosmos" and be done with it.

Since no one ever listens to me anyway, heres the Collector's wikipedia page. Smells like Avengers/FF family to me....

Not discounting you at all but I was just thinking out loud and wondering if the line can continue to be toed without actually using any of the Heroes connected to the Avengers Family...

Yeah, out of all the characters from Guardians, The Collector is the most sure thing of a no-go of any.

They can't use the name "Marvel" and if they aren't going to use the Guardians name, or any of the major characters, what's the point?

Just to say they did it. That's all Chapek wants is to get his way.
Imagine the ride being called "Adventure Thru Outer Space", Chris Pratt hosting the preshow... as Chris Pratt. A fairly generically themed ride that plays the songs on the Awesome Mixtape (but doesn't mention the awesome mixtape), and empties into a gift shop filled with GotG goodies (since they can sell Marvel merch).
Ta da! WDW kinda, sorta, (not really) built a Marvel attraction!

It's not that I don't want it, I just don't trust current Disney management with it. It's been how long now since they got Marvel? All they have to show for it so far is Stark Tours in Hong Kong and Guardians of the Tower in Anaheim.
Whoopdy-frickin-do
Not to mention if they ever took the rights in Florida we lose Spider-Man.
No thank you
The use of the name "Marvel" however applies all over the US which is why the DL exhibit was called "Super Hero HQ" and not "Marvel HQ."

No kidding. Certain people that jump on the everything's racist bandwagon need to look at themselves in the mirror because they're so obsessed with the matter. The point was simple, the dude is the fast person on the planet, and his speed is amazing. He could be green, white, purple, black, or whatever for I care. The intent was obviously not what the Internet whiners made it out to be. Ugh. Sometimes you really wonder if we're in this endless spiral of stupidity.

I was just about to ask that. I can't imagine Disney is doing all this planning without covering all their legal bases; it MUST be far along and have already had a lot of money sunk into it if we're talking about it at the level that's being implied by our insiders.
I know there's been lots of armchair lawyer talk around concerning the Disney/Marvel/Universal business, but no matter what people believe I can't bring myself to think Disney would just drain money away without sound knowledge that they could pull this off. If they wind up in this weird grey area where they don't call it Guardians and just hint at it, then yeah, what does that accomplish?

That's a really uncomfortable accusation to be making, really, and maybe not for most of us to judge. Maybe we all need to back off on judging large numbers of people, particularly based on small numbers of Twitter users we disagree with.

And you don't think it's just a little weird that the characters that they are clamoring to get into the park have only ever appeared TWO TIMES at WDW?
There's obviously some reason why they haven't appeared on a daily basis yet.

3, but Im not counting. And you bring up a good point, at least having Star Lord would be fairly easy to have him in Tomorrowland - they have enough guys who could do the role.

To be fair, Marvel made MANY stupid decisions in the 90s, including distributing their own comics and letting Rob Liefeld write & draw Captain America.
There are a lot of popular characters that don't appear on a daily basis. A Han Solo meet & greet would be hugely popular, I'd wager. Is there some sort of conspiracy afoot about that?

Never, not even during SWW, has there been a paid cosplayer to portray Han Solo at WDW. I believe much of that goes back to Harrison Ford if i'm not mistaken.
