Guardians of the Galaxy coming to Energy Pavilion at Epcot

Captain America would almost surely not be allowed due to the Universal contract.

Definitely not allowed. Captain America Diner puts the character into use.

Is Joe Rhode in charge of projects in EPCOT now? I guess Pandora is open - on to the next project.

No, Epcot is Fitzgerald's. Whether that is a good or bad thing has yet to be determined.

The box office from vol2 is a little disappointing, everyone seemed to think it would easily bust the $1B mark...but now it looks like if it does get there...it will be barely. Still a successful movie but not a phenomenon.

Are you serious? It would be one of only 20 movies in history to clear the 1 billion mark and you consider that a little disappointing?

Don't get me wrong, I love the movie. And it is an unqualified success. But I get the feeling via the press that Disney was expecting box office in line with Civil War, and Vol 2 will fall short of that.

No, Rohde is in charge of the Marvel portfolio. Tom Fitzgerald is in charge of Epcot projects.

The positive in this for a guy like myself, is that Rhode has a way of bringing out the richness in all projects he touches (sans DinoLand USA). At this stage of my life I have little interest in Marvel, I do not read comics, and Universal Islands of Adventure presents characters and experiences in a way that feels similar to painted flats and props. Rhode is sure to deliver Marvel stories and characters in a way that bring the feel of Animal Kingdom and positive vibes to those expecting layers of immersion from Disney. It may cause many to become fans of an I.P.

Thats what I thought. Heard something quick on a podcast that mentioned it.

I liked Marvel at one point (pre-Disney) Then I was in-different to it Now I hate it with a passion that has me yelling at pieces of cardboard.

You have issues.

Sounds like he has a whole magazine rack full of issues and he isn't reading any of them.

 

[HMF]

You have issues.

None that Clint Eastwood doesn't have.

Yea but that had more of a point then what you constantly do.

Then say something specific about what makes them a good start.

It allows for a new show building.

Which has nothing to do with your previous praise of the ponds.

Huh? They have to do the first before they can do the second. That's the whole point.

You already forget about praising the aesthetic of the new ponds?

Not really, It was a chair. This was a Guardians of the Galaxy promotional standee.

Well I am particularly fond of the recent work at DAK.

And which detention ponds over there are so alluring?

I use Google earth. The work is easy to spot. Uni is also to be noted for their artistry in this field.

You don't know the difference between a detention pond and a retention pond, do you?

At this point I'd be surprised if it hits $1 billion. Its opened in all markets and still has $200+ million to get there.
