That will be argued about until the cows come home.

Exactly. Which is why I asked Figment Forever for his/her "facts", which I've yet to see. We're all just opining here.

It’s posts like these that got you inducted into the Hall of Blame with @Kira Nerys and @raven24. Keep up the good work.

I still don't understand why people are being grouped in with me.

Hall of Blame

This tickled my funny bone.

I nominate you to come up with a suitable team name(s), considering this is a strength of yours.

(Was thinking about THE 3 QUEENS OF MEAN, but idk. I think you're better suited for this gig than I am )

I think you are the same person. In fact I believe there are only five people posting here.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

I'm pretty sure the other two are women. I only post under the alias of a woman.

LOL. I’m honored.

I would love to know who you think I’m also posting as?

Hahah forgot to mention in my last post ...I’m not sure Kira will like the name you chose.

I don’t consider myself mean at all. I can be mean, but I’m not always mean.

How many of those things would have been a good idea to base an attraction on?
Maybe it would have seemed like a good idea at the time because of it's immense popularity, but in hind sight it would be extremely dating and embarrassing at this point.

For me there are three things that are truly objectionable about IP.

1. Instantly date the attraction to the point in time the movie(s) were popular.

2. Instantly polarizing to people who have no interest in the IPs themselves. No matter how popular a movie is, the majority of people will have not seen the movie therefore won't have much desire to ever travel to see an attraction based off of it. In my opinion, you shouldn't really need to see a movie before you'll completely appreciate or care about an attraction.

3. Finally, the fact that they are a cheap, marketable replacement for anything unique, creative, or park specific. Think of how many park specific characters/stories they could create and hype. I'm talking things like Harold from the Matterhorn, Hatbox Ghost etc. They could create characters and stories you can only get at the parks and market the hell out of them. Create merchandise you can only buy at the parks. Disneyland would be it's own unique, creative experience full of things to discover instead of just reliving a movie you saw 15 years ago and sort of remember liking at the time.

I'm not going to go round and round on this IP vs non-IP discussion yet again. Its again a tired discussion. My post was in jest, nothing more.

The only thing I will say is we are in a different time and place in this country. Guests not only expect but demand seeing familiar things that make them feel comfortable and nostalgic. When guests stop going and attendance drops then Disney will change its direction. Its that simple. No amount of complaining one does about it on a forum such as this will change it.

I assume most of you know who Mr. Six is? Disney should totally have a character named Mr. Pix, who looks and dresses like an old John Lasseter, perform at Pixar Pier. And they should've named the land Pix Flags Over California. If either of those were to happen I might actually be on board .

 

[EvilChameleon]

The queen of mean? I didn't know Anne Robinson was a poster here.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Mr. Six was a decidedly less creepy character than John Lasseter.

So this whole theory of yours have nothing to do with the Marvel movies and everything to do with the comics, which is a narrow audience.

While never as popular as Batman or Superman, Cap's shield and Iron Man's armor were still recognizable before the MCU.

I'm a contrarion hipster, but I'm usually right despite these qualities. I also had an unsuccessful series of videos where I was a Disneyland AP that went in The Haunted Mansion over and over again which I consider a success due to its lack of success and satire through realism.

And that's why we love you!
