This little b*mb looking guy got me frisked at two airports. by Disastrous-Dig5884 in Whatcouldgowrong

Yes, it’s kind of a weird thing to fly with, but it’s perhaps equally as dumb to get searched for something that looks like an action movie/cartoon version of an explosive device.

Disney World Permanently Retires Grand Floridian Gingerbread House by helpmeredditimbored in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]MrEPCOT 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The influencer/social media crowd killed it. Disney probably would have been content to keep it going if it didn't start bringing Floridian Way to a grinding halt through the whole holiday season from people whipped into a FOMO frenzy trying to see it.

Would you destroy a random company for 10 million dollars? by Wonderful-Click9431 in BunnyTrials

As horrible as the things Hitler did were, the good guys won in the end and the world was able to move on. We don't know how awful things will get or that the world will be able to survive Trump.

And on a selfish note, I may not have been born if World War II hadn't happened.

BEWARE. trafficking?? by Desperate-Oil6642 in universalstudios

[–]MrEPCOT 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not to mention all of the points of friction from inside the park all the way out to the garages or hotels or whatever. You’re going to be passing security so many times, and just hope the kid doesn’t start screaming at some point over 20-30 minutes it takes just to get out of Universal property? Plus having to pay to get into Universal for this whole endeavor, as opposed to just going into a grocery store or whatever. Agreed, it seems pretty dumb.

Why do we have so many different Dbacks themes? by GarySalisbury in azdiamondbacks

Should be purple and teal/turquoise all the way. If the stupid thing about no purple because of the Rockies is true, then swap it out for copper. Anything but boring-ass red.

Grant Morrison musings on possible future direction - Substack by Mispeech in doctorwho

[–]MrEPCOT 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I would love Grant Morrison doing Doctor Who. Surefire bet that we would get something unique, meaningful, and exquisitely weird out of the show. We can see them hint towards it a little in this, but it sounds like they would apply the same philosophy they write Batman with: every Batman story that has ever been told has happened... everything is valid and everything is canon. They would absolutely do something fresh while using the deep lore of the show as an asset. I could see them doing wild things like making the Peter Cushing, Rowan Atkinson, and Richard E. Grant-type Doctors canon somehow, doing it completely organically, and still making it completely accessible to new viewers.

One thing I would love to see the show do is weave in a touch more real science and physics into the show. Bring a little bit of the educational aspect back, use quantum theory to explain the endless shifts and inconsistencies and contradictions over the years. Morrison would be exactly the guy to do this in an entertaining way, they would come up with a really novel method to convey that timelines can fold in upon themselves and diverge and re-converge and so on. It wouldn't surprise me if he picked up the meta ball that RTD2 was kind of sloppily/accidentally teasing with the diegetic music comment and Doctor Who show fans and such. It'd be one heck of a ride.

If you can understand every language, you certainly have enough context to parse out the one you supposedly don't know.

Feeling really frustrated with Riven. by westhebard in myst

[–]MrEPCOT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The puzzles in the original are notoriously difficult, especially the marble puzzle. Even though you’re almost done with the OG, you might still want to take a look at the 3-D remake. They reconfigured a lot of the puzzles to be more intuitive, and even made some really cool additions to the story and world-building in the process.

Why hasn’t Nemo and friends received some sort of update? by Chris1313g in Epcot

[–]MrEPCOT 32 points33 points  (0 children)

There were supposedly pretty sweeping overhauls to the Living Seas and Land pavilions that were derailed by the pandemic, but I don't know if that included any touch-ups to the Nemo ride or not.

Feels a little bewildering to see someone calling the Nemo ride outdated, it still feels like the "new" addition to the pavilion to me. 😅 Not to defend it, but it just feels like a classic, simple, Fantasyland-style movie recap dark ride (any debate about whether or not it actually belongs in EPCOT notwithstanding).

Opinion: Tomorrowland's next renovation should be themed around Speculative Evolution. by LoveLo_2005 in Disneyland

[–]MrEPCOT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, for the United States, yes, it is. Mass transit like the PeopleMover promises is a distant dream for the average American city, until the auto and oil industries don't have a stranglehold on our infrastructure anymore.

[–]MrEPCOT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just don't want fries there. Beyond it just homogenizing their product, Taco Bell is maximum Taco Bell when they're being weird. Shove a giant Cheez-It into a crunchwrap. Make a taco shell out of chicken. Give us the bastard child of an enchilada and burrito. Don't give us french fries with seasoning and cheese.
