James Gunn dropped from GOTG 3

[Raiders]

LOL Yep, you did. And ironically I didn't realize I pulled it out of him until you said something.

So Raiders, when you said:



...you actually slipped up and replied to how you'd REACT if the answer was yes to your query? I wish you had been straightforward all along but asked and answered, thanks.

There was no slip up

[Nate Grey]

If he answer yes, I’ll say he’s a dumbass
If he answer no, I’ll say he smarter than I thought.

...no, no take backs, you said apparently you'd want an "honest answer" meaning you wouldn't accept it the first time if he said yes in order to CALL him a dumbass.

Now answer my questions

Are you talking about this?

Why are you so afraid of this question?
Or are you afraid of the answer?

You have the nerve to ask me to answer the questions you used to dodge my initial question?

SMH but anyway:
1) I'm not afraid of "questions", least of all that silly one that was answered by his actions alone.
2) see #1

There was no slip up

Sure there was.

[Raiders]

Don’t know why you are afraid of this question. Don’t know why you think you can answer for Pratt.

But there one fact
Disney is right for firing Gunn for his jokes about raping

Disney is family friendly company they can’t have Gunn at the helm of their biggest franchise.
That doesn’t mean he won’t find employment somewhere else. I hope he does, but he probably never direct again in this metoo world.

[Kirby101]

but he probably never direct again in this metoo world.

I can say you are close to 100% wrong about that.

There's a rape joke in Age of Ultron.

Disney Stands Firm on James Gunn Not Returning to ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ (EXCLUSIVE)

After a strong push to get James Gunn back as director of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” following his firing from the project, Disney and Marvel are standing by their decision to not reinstate him as helmer for the next installment. The decision came following a meeting between Gunn and studio chairman Alan Horn.

Gunn was let go from the project nearly a month ago when dozens of Gunn’s tweets from nearly a decade ago came to light. The so-called joke tweets, about pedophilia and rape, were recently resurfaced by alt-right agitators. The studio acted quickly to remove Gunn from directing the third installment, believing the comments were unacceptable in the Me Too era and were not in line with Disney’s family-friendly image.

Since then, support for Gunn has been widespread, especially from the “Guardians” cast. Cast members including Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana asked for Gunn to be reinstated in an open letter.

Gunn and his UTA reps pushed hard for him to be given a second chance, and Horn decided to take a courtesy meeting on Tuesday to clear the air and see if there was a possibility of Gunn returning to the franchise. Though the meeting was described as civil and professional, sources say that Horn stood by his decision to not reinstate Gunn as director.

Insiders say Marvel president Kevin Feige was out of town and unable to attend. Sources added that while it was rumored that Feige was pushing to bring Gunn back, Feige stands by the studio’s decision to not bring back the “Guardians” director for the third installment.

Spokespeople for Disney and Marvel declined to comment.

Once Feige is back in town, Disney and Marvel will continue the search for a new director. It is still unknown if the production schedule will be affected by the change in the director’s seat. The film was expected to go into production at the start of 2019, and while sources have stressed that Gunn’s original script will be used for the next film, it is still very likely that whoever is brought in will still need to put a polish on it in order to add their stamp to the project.

Disney absolutely made the wrong decision.

So it's right to fire someone for something they did a long time ago?

Disney absolutely made the wrong decision.

It's unfortunate things came to this.

But in the least hopefully some good will come out of all of this. Perhaps people like him and Rosanne will become cautionary tales for celebrities (and even non celebrities) about what you say on social media. It can bite you in the behind.

Ugh, comparing Gunn to Roseanne... Their situations are not comparable beyond Twitter...

Not saying their situations are identical, but the outcome is pretty much the same. They got fired. And hopefully that's going to leave enough of an impression for people to really think before they decide to post stuff.

Trump is President. Have you seen his Twitter account?

[Kevinroc]

Wife beaters can still get work. But don't say anything naughty on Twitter. Disney is a "family friendly" company, after all.

[Raiders]

Disney stand by their decision to fired Gunn and Kevin Feige support Alan Horn for the firing.

I think we should all avoid twitter. Nothing good ever comes from it.

[Raiders]

A few questions.
Who will takeover as director?
Will GOTG 3 even happen now?
Will the cast survive Avengers 4?
Will the cast be replaced?
Will the cast and the new director be able to work together?
Will GOTG be better or worse?
