James Gunn Re-hired for GOTG Vol 3 - Page 3

*Autbot_Benz* · 07-20-2018, 05:22 PM

James Gunn's Response

“My words of nearly a decade ago were, at the time, totally failed and unfortunate efforts to be provocative. I have regretted them for many years since — not just because they were stupid, not at all funny, wildly insensitive, and certainly not provocative like I had hoped, but also because they don’t reflect the person I am today or have been for some time.”

“Regardless of how much time has passed, I understand and accept the business decisions taken today. Even these many years later, I take full responsibility for the way I conducted myself then. All I can do now, beyond offering my sincere and heartfelt regret, is to be the best human being I can be: accepting, understanding, committed to equality, and far more thoughtful about my public statements and my obligations to our public discourse. To everyone inside my industry and beyond, I again offer my deepest apologies. Love to all.”

This is bullsh!t. BULLSH!T.

Dammit, and my favorite MCU film series suffers for it.

Oh my.

And this is why you don't tweet un-anonymously on Internet.

I will have more to say but for right now all I will say is this..@JamesGunn is one of the most loving,caring,good natured people I have ever met. He’s gentle and kind and cares deeply for people and animals. He’s made mistakes. We all have. Im NOT ok with what’s happening to him

I'm expecting to see pretty much the entire cast of GOTG 1 and 2 come out in his defense... Saldana, Gillian, Pratt, Mary Poppins...

Personally the cast should boycott staring in Vol 3 unless Gunn is brought back. Rooker already changed his facebook banner to a shot of Gunn and the whole Vol 2 Cast

They're getting paid millions of dollars for their roles, they won't give that up.

*Shark_Blade* · 07-20-2018, 10:27 PM

Gotg sucks anyway so no actual loss.

Wrong as usual

Oh well, for me the MCU was gonna end after Avengers 4, anyway.

*XERO* · 07-21-2018, 01:10 AM

If only Walt Disney himself had a Twitter account back then, right?

Right because anti-Trump people never get offended by anything on Twitter

*plastroncafe* · 07-21-2018, 07:11 AM

Nah, those people actually get offended by things on Twitter. These are crisis actors.

The guy issuing most of the complaints has said worse and more recently than Gunn has.

Actually, they wouldn't be ALLOWED to give it up.

They signed contracts; they're stuck going forward without Gunn, whether they like it or not.

It's all fun n' games until somebody's favorite movie franchise gets negatively impacted.

He would have been one of the first people in trouble wirh his high profile anti-sematic views.

People are taking this too far. Someone says sometbing years ago and tries to dangle it to make an issue of it and a person is immediately fired because of fear of a loss of profit. The tattle tale digging up dirt is the villain and money is the root of cowardice. I was hoping this would not get out of hand and fools get what they deserve WHEN they offend. Perhaps defending Gunn can help direct people in knowing when it is an issue to act and if it even is an issue.

*NinjaPug* · 07-21-2018, 02:23 PM

Why fire him now and not back in 2012 when this was brought to light after you hired him? I get that the fake outrage culture is more prevalent now but that's no reason to fire him today. It's not like this was a new tweet or was suddenly dug up. He hasn't said anything sensational since Disney hired him years ago.

I'm still pissed about this.

Add Micheal "Yondu" Rooker to the people taking Gunn's Side on this.
