In your post above, you mentioned that arguably 15% of the ride is mainly screen-based. That's my entire point, which is obviously based in reality. I never said it was a "screenz" attraction, nor did I suggest it was -- I actually specifically said it wasn't. Hell, I didn't even say using screens/projections is inherently bad (because is isn't). All I said was that happens a bit too much (the Jack Sparrow swordfight scene is obviously the biggest offender) for my liking, as well as suggesting a new ride using that ride system could hopefully clean that up.
I didn't say that 15% makes Shanghai Pirates a bad attraction (it's actually quite good). I think it looks MUCH better than Ratatouille and Gringotts (and Forbidden Journey too). I just said that for me personally, a scene like the city in the other POTCs with huge physical sets and tons of AAs is more immersive/transportive. That doesn't mean Shanghai Pirates isn't those things, or that it's bad, or that it's worse than TRON (which is obviously not true) and I still don't really understand why that's the conclusion people have somehow drawn.
I guess it's because I used the word better in the original comment and people just couldn't get past that? I only meant that I personally like it more, and I honestly assumed it was implied. I certainly wasn't arguing the older POTCs are an objectively better attraction.
You misunderstood. I have no favoritism for the "home team" (it's actually hilarious you'd accuse me of all people of that) and I also said that the DL and Paris versions are better than the WDW version. As I said above, I think people just really misinterpreted the word "better".
