Ya, this. Shows how successful this tactic is when you see the impact the Wizarding World has had, and what looks to be yet another game changer in Super Nintendo World. I think this way Universal can't really get in their own ways, and companies can have influence in their IPs. I mean, do we know how heavily involved George Lucas was for SWGE?
Disney has been incredibly tone deaf the past few years. I don't even think they know what their own fans even like.
I think the reason why Marvel Super Hero Island and the Amazing Spider-Man ride at IOA works because it has a comic book feel to it (meaning it place more emphasis on the Marvel comic feel) and had input from Steven Spielberg, who is currently a creative consultant for Universal parks.
Ha! Disney still feels like they don't need any outsiders in telling them what to do though because they still think their way of doing is better than anything. They still haven't learned their ways.
I don't think anyone's asking for that but I do think it is..pragmatic that groups do evolve. WDI should evolve, and adapt towards new and exciting ideas; and that I do think they should've had people from Lucasfilm and Marvel be more present in the creative decisions of what goes into the sake of Marvel and Star Wars.
Ya honestly, this is the biggest mistake from Disney right now. Be willing to listen!!
Throwing money at problems doesn't always fix the issues.
Yes. Especially after the success of the Avengers. But, let’s see what we get with Spidey
Stan Lee is most assuredly not the type of person who’d demand anything. The only reason why Rowling has any power, period, is because she individually has a stake and power in the IP she created.
Theme park rights and movie rights are different, though often interwined when it comes to leverage to promote a specific company. DCA will construct the so-called "Marvel" land as they already planned.
It’s still a better idea to use a masked Spidey as the contract will eventually run up again.
No yeah I'm fully aware that they are different, that's why I asked if the deal also included rights regarding the theme park, as a separate addendum.
Could just be a case of depth perception from such a high-up shot but the pathway connecting Spider-Man with the Avengers Campus hub looks really slim.
