And there’s many against what you mention. A lot of mass public doesn’t care what it gets so long as it’s "at Disney". Even then they don’t know what they’re getting but it must be good due to the brand.
It doesn’t excuse putting cross promotion IP where it’s not needed or doesn’t belong. If we were to follow the standards of old.
I never said I was for all them. Not sure why you needed to mention there's many against what I mentioned, I know that Martin
What's Rat, Mary or Tron cross-promoting? (meaning it's not some blatant shoving of IP like Nemo was, like Frozen was, like Guardians, Monsters in Tomorrowland, is so I don't lump it all together though I understand why some do)
It was a genuine question of 'what can we do'. Wasn't trying to be snarky
Bemoaning on a message board that ideals from 1982 aren't upheld isn't going to change what they do. So I want to seriously know what can be done. Clearly they do what they want. There's nothing wrong with wanting to hold them to certain things but it seems stubborn at times and no one is willing to bend even the slightest.
It's not quite as simple as you lay out though (many actually do care, not that just that it's "a new ride at Disney", neither of us have scientific polling to back us up, personally, so neither of us can say what the mass public truly feels). And to be fair, it's your personal opinion on IP and where it's not "needed" or "doesn't belong". It's nice and all that World Showcase didn't have IPs or characters in 1982, I think it's fantastic they didn't, but in certain cases it's not realistic in 2018 (but I'm not saying everything should or needs to be IP, but I don't see why some of you hardcore purists can't meet in the middle on a few of these things, is it really fun to be so staunchly against something?).
The majority of guests, right or wrong, don't think like we do, and some of you make it seem 'wrong' to feel anything otherwise, who are we to tell someone how to enjoy or like the parks? It's really nothing to do about having a separate opinion in this case. But we're actually on the same page about the casuals being the problem, I believe, so that's why I genuinely asked "what can we do"? Hating IP for the sake of it isn't stopping it from coming, is it? I also understand some of it is Disney manipulating guests to accept and want IPs. I get the frustration over certain thing.
You realize many guests have no idea what Epcot could be or was, right? If a guest isn't educated, then how are they 'wrong' for wanting what they want?
I was pointing out crap like Pixar Pier asking what we can do to stop things like this but I get the usual response, lol. I guess my sincerity in the question was lost.
