Universal only has control over Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four and Avengers characters. Big Hero 6 and Guardians of the Galaxy do not count as they were either super niche (as the Guardians we know were just a bunch of random space characters put together on a team around 2007) or nonexistent at the time of Universal's contract.
Like the whole point of the Disney Big Hero 6's existence was "Let's reinvent the most niche Marvel team we can find in the back catalog and get away with it because nobody really cares that deeply for Marvel's late-90s attempt at cashing in on the anime boom".

I always felt it's a bit odd Uni is content with the Marvel they have. Why don't they maximize it? They could make their own Avengers island.

They don't really have anything to do with medical science though.

They can make small things get big which has "uses".

As nostalgic as I get for classic Epcot, I have to admit that I’m very excited for this pavilion even though it will be an IP-haven. The pavilion will finally be put to good use and even though most activities/attractions in it will be character based, it looks like it’s going to be a ton of fun and very innovative. I’m anticipating this to be a modern-day Imagination Labs- an area dedicated to kids discovery and interaction, but with 21st century technology and characters kids will find more entertaining. Say what you will about Epcot’s new direction- but a park being dedicated to discovery, nature, and the countries of the world as opposed to a generic IP-loaded theme park or a dying 80s ghost town. I like how Imagineers are really focusing on staying true to a new ”idea” for Epcot-celebration and unity- rather than just lazily slapping rides in the park. It’s truly going to be an amazing park, combining beloved Disney films, vintage splashes for Epcot Center, and the creative vision that Walt had with an eco-friendly, futuristic park.

Pretty sure these strips are new? Could they be attaching "camouflaging" aka green/blue panels to it at some point?

Yeah, I noticed that as well, but I wasn’t sure so I didn’t say anything.

Instead of attaching panels, wouldn't it be easier to just paint the building? If they attached anything it would strike me as being something like the fake trees on the T-Rex building.

I'd agree but I'm just guessing because those are there now and everything's exposed.

Uhhh yeah, that’s what we’ve been talking about...
So can we stop predicting Cranium Command can come back? And can we stop referring to Wonders of Life building? It’s the Play Pavilion from this point forward.

It’s from them sealing up the Cranium theatre and Body Wars area.
On a side note I guess we can call it “The Wonders of Dirt” at this point lol.
