What would we do without a Marvel movie every year? I just don't knowYou should be. We likely don’t have the MCU we do today without Disney’s monetary backing.
Sure theme park stuff has been lackluster, but oh well.

Please don't drag Toby Maguire into this1.) What does that have to do with this thread?
2.)Marvel films have been released/filmed yearly since 2002 (19 movies between 2002-2009 before Disney bought Marvel). This isn't a new thing. It actually makes the brand a lot more condensed and not spread among so many studios.
Er, FloridaBorn never posted in here :look:Back to the topic at hand, I watched the video and, while cheesy as expected, I agree with @IAmFloridaBorn. For a Summer promotion, this is fine and something I can see a lot of people stopping to watch while passing by. The dialogue is pretty bad, but the actors do their best to pull it off. It helps that GotG is a pretty wacky franchise as is.
Also, the guy who portrayed Star-Lord in the first show had a lot of charisma so even if he doesn't look perfectly like Chris Pratt's Star-Lord, I bought in based on the way he acts.

Yup, this is definitely a very talented cast (love hearing where the cast came from). And Beetlejuice was also a comparison that came to mind.Didn't recognize him at first, but apparently he's coming off a most excellent role from last Fall. Charisma to spare, and improv talent. Meanwhile, I recognized a couple of the singers from the old Beetlejuice show, and the bassist from, of all places, the Grand Floridian Orchestra. It's a very talented cast.
Show owes a lot to the penultimate Beetlejuice show (the one that ran longest). Starlord basically doing comedy hosting while the musicians do the heavy lifting song-wise. But that works. I've long said Michael Roddy "gets" theme park shows on a level no one else those, I think this proves it. If you enjoyed Beetlejuice, or old school Bill & Ted, or Frozen Sing-Along (the most fun attraction in DHS), you'll have fun with this. He even managed to work in a Queen song!
This show has a very "theme park show" feel to it. I hate to say it, but Tomorrowland would have been a better fit. Or DHS.
And for a temp offering the level of talent is great. The writing and overall storyline is a bit cringy.Oh yeah, but Epcot "needed" something!
The cringe writing is why it needed such a solid cast. It would be a train wreck otherwise.And for a temp offering the level of talent is great. The writing and overall storyline is a bit cringy.

It's just that it doesn't seem like the folks that would like this show would be hanging in the back of world showcase.When the alternative is tribute bands who typically play free shows at HoB, I think I'd rather a "theme park show" in my theme park.
It's not like they replaced Voices of Liberty with this. America Gardens Theater has always been sort of a generic No Mans Land when it comes to theme and shows.
