I can’t think of anything I wouldn’t let Gamora and Nebula teach me for a few hours.

So... it's basically the Dinosaur story but with more popular IP. Still makes absolutely no sense in Epcot. (I'm sorry, but this loose reference is lipstick on the story pig.) But, the ship is so far out in harbor, the "other" audience has clearly won.

"Just as you are about to reach the culmination of the tour, everything goes sideways, and you are called into action to help the Guardians of the Galaxy. Are you ready to rock out on an awesome quest across the cosmos to save the galaxy? It’s all up to you!"
This makes perfect sense - after all, everyone knows that the best way to solve a problem is to ride a roller coaster about it. That'll get those Guardians' issues solved right quick.

Makes absolutely no sense in original EPCOT. While I think that was the best theme park ever built and would absolutely prefer to have all the original attractions back (even with their outdated content) than what they're doing now... it's dead. As much as we wish it wasn't, Disney has been very clear that they're no longer interested in the original version of EPCOT.
This ride doesn't make any less sense than Frozen Ever After or the Nemo ride, or really that much less than Ratatouille. This is the future of EPCOT, unfortunately for those of us who preferred it the other way.

No doubt. And, there is a version of new Epcot I wouldn't enjoy - but would at least make sense. Right now, the lands and their stories are becoming hodgepodges to allow popular IPs to be shoehorned. At least Mission: Breakout became an anchor for a land that kind of relates. I fear Epcot is going to go the way of Tomorrowland with vaguely space/future/internet/pretty lights on one side and anything that mentions the country name once on the other.
The complete abandonment of layered storytelling is what is really killing me with new Disney.

What makes you think at this point they care at all about theming or making Epcot different than any other amusement park?
We fans continue to live in the nostalgic past while the company screams in our face they don't care.
We need to move on, they have.

Given: I dislike IPCOT (Intellectual Property, Center of Themes). However, if we must have an IP-related roller coaster, wouldn't TRON have made much more sense here? I feel as though a technology/computers pavilion could have actually fit in the Old Epcot. They could have put Guardians in Tomorrowland.

I think the coneite here is that it talks about the big bang theory and the origins of the universe. Personally, I think they should have made the Play Pavilion space themed as well and found a way to connect all three pavilions in that area to a wider "space" theme.

I'm not sure I follow this sentiment (and may be misunderstanding your point, admittedly).
I have moved on. I now consider myself a fan of Old Disney. I used to make multiple trips a year. Moved to Orlando recently with the original intent of visiting often. I now go maybe once a quarter to Disney Springs. Not even considering any form of ticket or pass because they have eviscerated the things about Old Disney I loved.
So, I come here to post and discuss with other people who share those concerns. I know the decisions by modern Disney have been made - hence my actions. But, Disney made the decision to decide its fan base. I refuse to say I have to either accept what they do or be silent and move along. I know Disney management is very clear in it's direction for New Disney, but I can still talk about what I enjoy and comment on it from the perspective of an Old Disney fan.
Even if Disney doesn't care - some of us still do. So we find this outlet where we can. (As can others who love the New Disney changes.) WDWMagic is a discussion board that allows open discussion. And, I for one greatly appreciate that.

While not my favorite overall, I totally agree.
Have Test Track pushed into World Celebration along with the Spine and IMAG (though I still say it should have been Epcot Center - celebrating human creativity and ingenuity ala the original park's mission). Then you could have easily done Guardians, Mission:Space and some whimsical planet o' characters (maybe in a retro space theme). Then World Discovery could have been space themed. That at least would make cohesive sense.

And I think we're forgetting about the only IP that makes perfect sense in EPCOT, especially when the Wonders of Life actually still existed: Inside Out. They literally made an attraction that uses a very similar concept to Inside Out decades before the movie came out. Then the attraction sat there unused and (for a while) untouched when the film came out. Such a wasted opportunity. But I don't mean to get us off-track here. I still think Marvel characters have NO PLACE in Epcot.

I don’t get why they keep saying this if by all accounts it seems to be THE longest.
Yeah, in the course of four years to build it, it coulda happened!

The Xandarians are secretly building an even longer one in China. HKDL loves augmenting American originals, so they challenged the Broker to procure one more helix so the Guardians of the Galaxy could once and for all discover the origins of the coronavirus.
Shhhh…

Gotta love how WDW will now receive yet another ride that will no longer be exclusive to the park/resort as a whole…..(MMRR and now Guardians)
