I absolutely agree! While I do feel that WDW as a whole has a theming problem these rides are amazing and IP has been in the parks since day one. That’s what happens when a movie studio owns a theme park. Basing things off of the movies creates a connection before the guests even comes through the gate. That connection may not be there with everyone Disney knows it’s going to be there for enough people to drive interest.As much as people say “oh the theme doesnt mesh with epcot”, imo Epcot NEEDED this ride. The park was lacking a true crowd pleaser thrill ride, and guardians was the one for the job. Same sentiments for frozen and rat, Epcot needed family rides like that. IP’s while overused, aren’t the devil that everyone makes it out to be. Yes I would like an original attraction every once in a while, but at the end of the day, these characters are what bring people in.
