I'd imagine it's more than possible that this was the final straw. The proverbial feather to land on the already heaping pile of wank that they've maybe put up with from him, and it was just easier to use this as an excuse to let him go.
Because...again, none of this was unknown. And it's not like Disney doesn't already employ a bunch of morally questionable people in high profile franchises. *cough*Johnny Depp*cough*

I'm gonna see GOTG Vol 3 regardless if James Gunn is involved or not.

Now we get a sh***y GotG3 by probably a studio filter director... but at least social justice was served.
And that's the real victory...

They'll probably do a page one rewrite too just to scrub Gunn's name completely from this.

I honestly don't see the humor in his tweets... I mean, what? Like, where's the joke? While I'm still baffled at what he wrote, I think it's clear it was done to be edgy and weird, and honestly, I don't see why he should be fired for that. Especially 10 years later. I get Disney is trying to protect themselves and distance themselves from his mess right now, but that's just really sh*tty for Gunn.

OK, he probably did it. But that's an important distinction. They can be, sure. Though regardless of who "Called Dad" on this, it was the Disney suits who kowtowed to it. They didn't have to.

Gunn made a pedophilia joke over a decade ago. They were aware of it prior to working with him 6 years ago but fired him over it now.
Meanwhile the same Disney hired a convicted pedophile to write and direct Powder two decades ago. |

This was years ago though. It was even before Vol. 1 went into production. Why not call him in then? I was embarrassed about Jason Biggs attachment to TMNT even if he did not insult Romney and Ryan in front of children on Twitter. This guy is not like that as a person evolved and put out quality films since then. Forgive and forget. Who is Disney going to Gunn for next?

I wonder if this will affect Sean Gunn's involvement. He plays Kraglin and also is the stand in for Rocket.

Highly doubtful. Whoever the poor bastard is that they make be the director will probably be doing everything in the world to assure people, "Nope, see? Nothing's different here... it's the same everything as before! Just... no James!"
If anything, they'd probably give Sean Gunn a bigger part.

I love the spin of "With Over 10,000 Tweets, James Gunn promoted Rape and Pedophilia"
No. a hand full of his 10,000 tweets were incredibly tasteless jokes he has since apologized for. I hate this modern age where Twitter mobs can be released to destroy people you don't like or disagree with.

People just need to realize that no 2 people are going to see eye to eye on everything and stop taking difference of opinions as grounds to decimate each other.

Stuff like this just sets horrible precedent, as well. Now the next time someone unearths from colorful tweet from any actor 10 or more years ago, the SJWs will rattle away with, "Well you guys fired James Gunn back in 2018... now you guys HAVE to fire this new person, too, and if you don't... WTF??!??"
