James Gunn dropped from GOTG 3

[Immortal Weapon]

What's happening with Star Wars got nothing to do with Gunn.

What's happening with Star Wars got nothing to do with Gunn.

Iger takes responsibility for what has happened with Star Wars. Says "I take the blame" for what happened with Star Wars.

Iger does not take responsibility for what happened with Gunn, he just "supports" the decision and hasn't second-guessed "their" decision.

[Immortal Weapon]

Once again it got nothing to do with Gunn. Your trying to connect things that have no relation.

Iger said "I take the blame" in regards to Star Wars.

Iger said "their decision" regarding Gunn's firing.

If you don't understand why this distinction is important, I can't help you.

I don't care for the distinction because the two things ain't related. Gunn's firing wasn't his call. If he doesn't want to rock the boat that's his prerogative. It ain't got nothing to do with Star Wars.

Come on.

It is a distinction that amounts to nothing.

He clearly says that he supports it. That would have been one more voice saying "Fire this guy."

Never mind that this is in the "Roseanne" comment...

I would say there is a blend of my helping to make the decision to my supporting the decisions that have been made.

[Jokerz79]

I still don't see it as "wishy washy" he simply stated the facts and said he agreed with the decision and has not second guessed it.

He doesn't take responsibility for Gunn's firing. He just says he supports "their decision."

Contrast that with his taking responsibility with Star Wars.

If you don't understand why I call that "wishy washy," I don't know what to tell you.

That's because the Roseannne/Gunn calls were not his alone. Which is the only distinction he is making.

Contrast with Star Wars.

Many believe Disney should pump the breaks and not put out a Star Wars movie each year.

I made the timing decision, and as I look back, I think the mistake that I made — I take the blame — was a little too much, too fast. You can expect some slowdown, but that doesn't mean we're not going to make films.

Strong Leadership! (TM)

[Raiders]

So, how is this about Star Wars?

[numberthirty]

Contrast with Star Wars.

Their is no contrast.

If you make a call alone, you would naturally take the blame for a call that you made all buy yourself.

So, how is this about Star Wars?

Iger: *Regarding Star Wars* The Buck Stops Here.

Iger: *Regarding Gunn* Other guys made that decision. I support their decision.

You're acting like Iger didn't make the decision to make a new Star Wars every year completely by himself with nobody else involved. Iger is the boss and Iger took responsibility with Star Wars.

With Gunn, he just went "other people made that decision, and I support their decision."

There's a difference.

A different shade of black, maybe.

If you are saying that you support a decision, you have said "This call would have been the same if I was involved."

Never mind that he clearly emphasized that point by saying that he has not second guessed it.
