Little Saint Nick would go so well with this ride I’m praying for it.

It's possible -- seems early for Guardians as it was released in 1963, but Come a Little Bit Closer was a major song in Guardians 2 and it was released in 1964.
Hard to go wrong with any Brian Wilson composition (at least if you don't count the ones with Eugene Landy's involvement).

Kinda silly when an attraction is already popular. Why can't we spend the money on doing over a few other attractions for the winter. They already have the soundtrack for things like Country Bear Christmas. Just do that.

There’s no money being spent, they’re just switching the songs which costs almost nothing.

Thoughts after my second ride...
- It's a good thing that the coaster itself is very fun because when you think about any aspect of this for more than a second, it's a pretty lazy and low effort presentation. It almost seems intentional, so they can easily swap out the theme and do quick overlays (as we already have confirmation on).
- So much effort to make the queue "like an Epcot pavilion", but then immediately when you're teleported to the ship, uh ohz its a big bad guy we know nothing about but we've gotta escape but also help the Guardians via reasons
- The setup for the coaster portion is SO vague. Who is the bad guy? What is he trying to do? How does he time travel? How do we follow him through time to the big bang? At what point in the ride do we actually defeat him?? How do we get back to present day? WHO KNOWS!
- I wish there was an explanation as to why the music is playing. A quick line would suffice, but instead it just starts.
- They might as well just play the music because you can barely hear the character banter, and the banter is pointless anyway and hardly conveys any story
- That previous point doesn't matter anyway because there is NOTHING in the visuals. Stars, a few projections I can't even really make out, a few planets... there's just nothing. Some parts look kind of cool but it's just so empty feeling
I said this before, but it's not a good Guardians ride as you are never in the same room as them, and it is not a good fit for Epcot because all of the shoe-horned Epcot tributes end with the second pre-show.
Also, wishful thinking but I wish there were a bit more spinning. It feels a bit too "controlled'
But all that nitpicking aside, yes, it is a very fun ride. But it is a little strange to me that so many were quick to label it as the best ride at WDW and their new favorite coaster.

OMG Guardians was released in 1963! I'm much older than even I had at first thought!

Although I agree with basically everything you said, it wouldn't be that easy to retheme. Easier than building new sets and AAs, of course, but creating new video to replace what exists on the screens isn't a quick or cheap process.

I mean . . . it's not that hard or expensive, either. This is the Walt Disney Company we're talking about. It would cost them a little more than it should, given the company's bloat, but they'd likely produce a quick and efficent shoot for what amounts to a couple dozen minutes of video content, most of it animated.

AKA I thought about it more than the people who came up with the concept
A well thought out and executed ride wouldn't have these complaints - see Rise of the Resistance

You just don’t understand the unprecedented time and resource constraints that come with designing and building the world’s most expensive attraction.

CGI is pretty expensive and takes time. It's not something they could just throw together in a couple of weeks.
I think it's unlikely that Disney really considered retheme possibilities, although as I said, it is certainly easier than building new sets and AAs. Essentially all of the on-ride work could be done without having to close anything (just swap out the video once it's ready) although they might have to do some physical work in the preshow areas.

I thought the ride portion was us going back to the big bang to save Rock-n-Roll?
Before launch, there is some banter and music is brought up, the really big dude yells 'what is that noise' -- he decides to go back in time and erase music -- so we rock back to try and stop him and to save music!
That was my take on the music part anyway.

I rode Cosmic Rewind this morning with family. We were lucky to get BG1. Lots of fun. It's definitely a ride most guests can get on and we had no issues with motion sickness. Also, loved how you move around in the cars. Great ride and no complaints.
