Best Option for Marvel-Based Attraction in Epcot (Poll)

[maverik85]

I think the best options woudl be either Iron Man, Ant Man, or Guardians of the Galaxy. Guardians would fit in well next to Mission Space for an outer space element. Ant an and Iron Man would bot work well for the science aspect. Think Iron Man would have the most potential to show science and futuristic possibilities at the same time for an overall pavilion kind of like Test Track

I am well aware that this will never ever happen as the show is not popular enough nor would Disney see a point to adding it to EPCOT, but out of curiosity would the Agents of Shield show fall under the avengers umbrella? It is literally Shield, which is in some of the Avengers movies. So it probably would, but the contract is so vague on our end who knows.

Not sure about Agents of Shield, but it could be cool. Although, Shield was in the Avengers movies, at least Coulsen was in them anyway. I wouldn't mind seeing Peggy Carter from SSR, per-cursor to Shield, anywhere in WDW. She's totally awesome.

Something will happen at some point. Universal will need to continually update marvel properties to satisfy and maintain the quality of the brand. At some point, Disney and Universal will come to some sort of agreement.

Ah I love Peggy Carter! I would love to see her literally anywhere in the parks! I know Coulson was in them, that's why I feel like maybe it's a little too attached to the Avengers? I don't know, I personally love the show and wish it got more attention than it does.

Yea I could see Disney and Universal coming to an agreement at some point for Universal to be able to use and possibly even update their area some with new rides/characters, but keep it more int eh comics/90s realm of looks while Disney can start using them at WDW as well. Especially if they jsut made an agreement on characters that each park can use.
Universal pretty much has Hulk, Fantastic Four, X-men, and Spider-Man as the focus of the land. And only Hulk is the only one Disney has movie rights to and they don't even focus on him much a side from team ups. So could see an agreement for them to use and expand on those sets of characters and Disney can use the ones from their films as it would still leave some uniqueness to each park.

Option x: at studios where it might fit in thematically

...I've been accused of much worse...

This won't happen (as it would take basically tearing down Epcot from the ground up) . .but take all of Future World and make it into "Marvel World"

I remember being a little kid in Disney and seeing the Honey I shrunk the Kids stuff. Adapting what they did with that could be a fun attraction for Antman if they can use him! A thrill ride would be brilliant!

I'm sure at some point certain company's will get certain characters but that's so interesting.

And what's wrong with a Deadpool ride anyway?

Uhhhh I would love a Deadpool attraction, but I think that's better suited to Universal. Can you imagine how butchered a Deadpool attraction would have to be at Disney

So? They dodged budget bullets in the movie by working around it I don't see why they can't here?

It's not the budget so much as the content, language, and sign language. Plus, his "princess" is a hooker. I just don't know if Disney could go there.

I was originally referring to content dodging bullets but edited my post because I wasn't sure the reference or example I made was board-appropriate

Transformers is no longer a Marvel assert; however, it started out as a Marvel comic. Plus, I am not totally sticking to reality on this, more of a free brainstorming kind of thing. That's why I put that "I know this will never happen" next to the Transformers option.

*puts on comic book nerd glasses*

I'm afraid not. Transformers began with the Hasbro toy line (which they got from Japanese toy company Tomy), who licensed Marvel for comic books around the same time as the cartoon. Back in the day, Marvel had a bad habit of mixing their licensed properties into the mainline Marvel Universe (Fun fact, SHIELD used to have a division dedicated to hunting and fighting Godzilla), resulting in several issues that can't be reprinted in modern collections at IDW Publishing because they feature Spider-Man
