Mileos4 was my account but it got hacked. I’d love to get all my moots back Theme parks and Movies are the big two things I love

It's very difficult to lose all of your mutuals. Social media isn't real life, but the connections you make when you're on there for years can feel real. My old account (Mileos4. The one with the raven profile pic) fell to a scammer. PLEASE follow me here and help me rebuild.

@SimpleThoosie @StarportStrdust @FP_2020R @JaCrissppy Epcot attractions living with the land, spaceship earth, and American adventure are some of my favorite in the world. If somebody was trying to say one of those was bad, my argument would be with a positive angle saying that they’re actually great. I praise and criticize alike.

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@SimpleThoosie @FP_2020R @StarportStrdust @JaCrissppy I didn’t think that anything I said sounded like complaining. I was just making discourse and defending my beliefs. I enjoy making analysis and debating about theme parks. That’s why I’m on social media. No need to be snippy and holier-than-thou.

Bye

@SimpleThoosie @FP_2020R @StarportStrdust @JaCrissppy Well debate like this is really what I most enjoy. I don’t view it as exasperating I view it as exercising my passion so I enjoy talking about it like this actually. I go because there’s still a lot at Epcot that I really really like. GOTG cosmic is just an outlier.

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@SimpleThoosie @FP_2020R @StarportStrdust @JaCrissppy Of course they’re always going to try and do the thing that gets the biggest crowd. I just think they used to do it while thinking first about what would benefit the theme of the area or the intellectual experience of the park. They really just pursue profit mindlessly now.

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@SimpleThoosie @FP_2020R @StarportStrdust @JaCrissppy My disagreement is not that the company’s current direction is to do what’s popular. my disagreement is that the company should do what is thematically coherent and consistent and prioritize that over popularity. They do what makes the most money though cuz that’s their business.

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@FP_2020R @SimpleThoosie @StarportStrdust @JaCrissppy Guardians is entertaining, but not educational and Epcot should strive to have attractions that are both educational and entertaining

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@FP_2020R @SimpleThoosie @StarportStrdust @JaCrissppy Education and entertainment. Making the education entertaining. Most of Epcot is edutainment.

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@SimpleThoosie @FP_2020R @StarportStrdust @JaCrissppy But it was still educational and it was replaced by another educational ride. And test track ends with a GM car dealership but it still has an educational element.

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@SimpleThoosie @StarportStrdust @JaCrissppy @FP_2020R I believe that Walt wouldn’t do something like Zootopia better Zoogether because he would understand that while it is a successful IP, it weakens the theme and message of the park. He pursued IP but only when it fit. Modern Disney pursues IP, regardless of if it fits the theme.

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@SimpleThoosie @StarportStrdust @JaCrissppy @FP_2020R What do you mean immediately? Test Track, Ellen’s energy adventure, Mission Space are all 90s rides that fit the theme. And yes, sadly the average theme park goer does not engage with the parks as an art form and just goes for fun IP stuff. Successful does not equal quality tho.

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@SimpleThoosie @JaCrissppy @FP_2020R Not a huge ratatouille in Epcot fan either but at least that ride gives some impressions of France and even has the character speaking French sometimes. There is an exposure to French culture in that ride even if it’s still barely fitting IP.

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@JaCrissppy @SimpleThoosie @FP_2020R Right, but in that original post, it says world class THEME park attraction. There is perhaps an argument to be made about it being a world class ride in general but not in regards to being part of a theme park about future technologies.

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@JaCrissppy @FP_2020R @SimpleThoosie Right, but if it’s about a fictional planet with fictional technology and fictional races of people, there’s no educational or even speculative aspect to it. And all the visiting planet stuff is just exposition to get to the real story which is stopping the bad guy..

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@SimpleThoosie @JaCrissppy @FP_2020R Want the parks to be as consistent in the theme and mission statement as they were before. I do understand that that’s not the way the parks are run nowadays and I lament that and I understand that’s not the way guests interact with the parks and I lament that too.

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@SimpleThoosie @JaCrissppy @FP_2020R I think this is just a fundamental difference of perspective. most people just view the parks as a place to have fun and don’t care about the theme or message, but me and the people in these replies do care about that minutiae because we love the parks as an art form and (1/2)

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@JaCrissppy @SimpleThoosie @FP_2020R The story of the ride is just complete action adventure stuff not really about anything that could connect to Epcot. It’s not historical, educational, cultural or about real world technologies and innovations. It has no place in EPCOT in my opinion if it’s not even one of those.

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@JaCrissppy @SimpleThoosie @FP_2020R I don’t believe that there’s anything educational in the ride or queue about science or technology or discovery or the future. There is the pavilion gimmick, but it’s played more like a joke or a sly reference to world showcase and offers no real info or insight.

[Mpheos4 @mpheos4]

@SimpleThoosie @FP_2020R It does not fit the theme of Epcot at all. That’s why the original post is criticizing it.
