It's not a big deal if you don't have any standards. If you don't care about the high quality and thoughtfulness and Disney used to be known for. If you have no respect for the lofty goals of Walt's organization to produce a meaningful entertainment experience that could make the world a better place. There are MANY other places Guardians and Frozen and stuff like that would fit better. There are absolutely NO other places like EPCOT Center. If you think EPCOT Center as it was is boring, there's a hundred other parks you could go to. There's a specific place for science fantasy now, and that's Tomorrowland. Future World should be about science potential. Personally, I find that way more exciting, and I'm far from being the only one. There's not really anywhere now that scratches that itch the way EPCOT used to. One of the Disney parks greatest strengths has been how diverse the themes for each park are and how they strictly cohered to those themes, and they are just absolutely eroding that away now in an effort to make the quickest, easiest buck possible by appealing to the lowest common denominator. You can either choose to be the lowest common denominator, or you choose to want something more meaningful. I can't help but want something meaningful, and it makes me sad that so many not only just want to consume brainless entertainment but seek to impose that brainlessness on everyone else.
Warning. This post will trigger Disney purists. Pursue at your own risk.
Am I the only one who doesn't think whether or not GotG "fits in with Epcot's original vision" isn't really that big of a deal? Look, it's in Future World, a land where the future now means, "A future that will never be but would be cool to be in". Disney made that mistake in the past of making a whole land based on future tech and look how it's turned out. GotG kinda fits in with that sci-fi fantasized future that Future World implies now.
As long as the ride is great, I'm really not concerned about the original vision for Epcot. If they were strictly trying to make it like it was in the past, it would be boring as crap. Epcot needs more exciting rides.
Oh, and I think Frozen fits fine with Norway. So will Rat.
