>>102614346It really is depressing how poorly the parks are getting run right now. Original ideas thrown out for TIE-INS TIE-INS GOTTA HAVE TIE-INS.
I mean, it's not like it hadn't happened before, but it feels more fleeting right now. Like Disney got a bunch of toys and they have no self-control on how to use them. Like, okay California Adventure and Hollywood Studios are basically the dumping ground parks
Really should just rebrand them and Studios Paris as Disney Vaults and be done with it but w/e so changes there seem at least somewhat acceptable, but it feels less acceptable taking out the international standards, and if they could, they'd do it to the staples of MK. I hope though that with Tiki Room Under New Management's debacle there's SOME pause to that.
A lot of Disney isn't running on good ideas, but milking formerly good ideas. Twist villains, unnecessary sequels, etc.
Nevertheless
