3. There are no Disney theme parks in Orlando suited for Marvel characters and concepts.

This is one of the biggest strikes against Disney acquiring the rights to Marvel in Florida, at least in my mind. Whereas Universal Studios already has its Marvel Super Hero Island, Disney has no specific place to accommodate enough of the Marvel characters and concepts to satisfy anyone. Magic Kingdom is already filled to the brim with attractions. A place focused on education like Epcot wouldn’t be remotely compatible with the Marvel Universe. Even though superheroes with animal superpowers like Spider-Man and (to a lesser extent) Ant-Man are popular, a placement in the Animal Kingdom would feel off. I suppose Disney's Hollywood Studios is a possibility, but it’s still a bit of a stretch considering that the Marvel heroes have only been popular in the box office for the last few years. Whereas Universal Studios has a whole island it can dedicate to Marvel, Disney has no way even close to that to pay tribute to the world of Marvel superheroes.

4. The characters and concepts of Marvel don’t entirely align with the core of Disney.

Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man and all of the rest don’t quite represent the Disney magic as precisely as the Disney princesses and other fairy tales adapted into films. While amazing and incredible and astonishing in their own right, they’re not yet quite as timeless as Cinderella, Peter Pan, Aladdin and so many more. I’m not saying that Disney has created its theme parks out of only timeless concepts (hello Avatar - The World of Pandora), but I’d like for them not to stray further from that mission, even if the mission is a largely unspoken one.

5. Disney theme parks have so far circumvented the superhero fad.

This might change if a Big Hero 6 is enough in demand to merit an attraction, but so far Disney theme parks don’t really include any superhero presence at any of its parks. None of the parks even have an attraction based on The Incredibles, despite the popularity of Pixar films and that one in particular. I think it would be nice for Disney to continue to avoid the current fad and continue to excel and innovative with its other properties.
