Well just think of Imagination as a reference. If you like One Little Spark, you probably enjoy the ride. If you hate it and can't stand it, you'll probably not like the ride.
The "Golden Age of Hollywood" buildings on Hollywood Blvd are all staying, so it works thematically. The Chinese Theater continues to be a real, worldwide symbol for Hollywood, with millions of tourists visiting the real thing, in Hollywood, every year. Current-day celebrities still vie for a chance to put their handprints in the cement. For the millions of WDW visitors who will never make it to Los Angeles, this is an identifiable symbol of what the park represents.
Carthay Circle, while important for Disney, is not iconic in any way, shape or form and was demolished many years ago because of that fact. It does not hold the same worldwide cultural cachet as the Chinese Theater.

And I can't imagine less than 5% of the people who come to DCA have any idea what that is supposed to be nor cares. It's just a building that sits empty most of the time with Cast Members standing outside trying to shill people to come inside and eat and drink. Most people are just confused.

... where three of the most popular rides in the park including the central attraction do not include movie franchises? Did I miss the joke or something?
If not, well, the park is, and is becoming, less about movies than it has ever been, and that name would be less fitting than ever before.

Your talking about the two TS and the two SW, right?
Don't forget MMRR in which another Disney studio has its IP ride-ified.
And the Summer dance party and the new semi-permanent flex-theater attraction based on Incredibles and Cars.
That's five IPs and three studios represented in that time frame.
And there are hints that RnRC's "IP" is going to be changed... to a Disney studio IP.

As soon as they find an obscure Marvel hero that the folks at Universal haven’t heard of, it’ll go from yellow to green.
“Fast Roller Coaster with Arabian Knight Fighting Angar the Screaming Hippie” CONFIRMED!

I don’t see why that IP can’t be Deadpool. It would be funny, entice the teens, and require only a little cost.

I guess the question would be can Deadpool be used at DHS?

He's somewhat closely tied to the X-Men family currently in use at IOA, so no.
He originally showed up in The New Mutants as a villain, but then became the antihero over time. He's also been represented in at least one X-Men movie, which ties that closer.
Side note: I absolutely despise Deadpool and my comments should be taken with that in mind.

I doubt it, but honestly if the GotG are deemed appropriate, and Deadpool was allowed (don’t think he is), I would think he’d be okay. But is he still Deadpool without the innuendo?

No, the previous attractions were more about movies whereas these new attractions are not at all about movies. They are attractions with unrelated themes only unified by the fact that they are set in the worlds of movie franchises, That’s setting, not theme. Not everyone understands the difference but I think you’re a fairly smart guy.
In fact MMRR is ironically the upcoming attraction most about movies even though it is television.
Now whether you think what they’re doing with DHS is interesting enough overall to pull people in, that’s your guess and I’ll let the numbers speak. I think in the few instances it’s worked, it’s been more attributable to an overall increase in quality.

I'm still surprised that they haven't lightly rethemed ToT to Doctor Strange.
The wonderful worlds created by Hollywood is the theme. The new theme of DHS (as stated by Disney) is the place where the "imagined worlds of Hollywood unfold around them from movies and music, to television and theater.”
This theme fits all the major attractions of DHS.

Do you take Disney’s word as gospel? What they came up with is an embarrassingly weak theme as there is nothing non-tangential that unites these imagined worlds of Hollywood. Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, Toy Story Land, etc. don’t share any actual commonalities aside from the fact that the lands are set in the universes of existing entertainment franchises. That’s a tangential connection. Next Disney will be arguing Pixar Pier fits because Pixar and the respective films were created in California! ... oh wait.
For someone so involved in this forum it’s kind of unfortunate that you have such a poor understanding of theme. And now apparently setting. I would like to know what English teacher did you wrong because you are quite frankly embarrassing yourself here.

I needed to look that up to make sure it wasn't a joke and it wasn't. I think this is my favorite super person ever and nothing lame can ever happen to him-
While robbing a bank with Mimi, Angar was shot by a guard. Although the two were able to escape into the nearby woods, Angar soon died of blood loss.
Welp. RIP.
