And he never outright apoogized for tweets he made regarding rape & pedophilia until last night. We're talking six years of complete silence.

    And I don't understand what the bolded portion was for......what does this have to do with bullying and slander??? Everything being pointed out right now is true.

    He actually apologized 6 years ago for his tweets before he got the gig with Disney.

    I mean...


    yeeeeeesh lol


    I mean, ****, that is the "risk" of telling "risky" jokes right? Gonna be an edgelord that means you live on the edge. You either get the adrenaline rush and succeed or you fall to your death. He got both.

    Despite being somewhat of a creep it seems... he is likely a millionaire and, lets be honest, **** may blow over after awhile and he'll make movies again somewhere.


    I don't feel sorry for him at all TBH. Ain't like his life is ruined.

    Somewhat excited to see what a GoG movie would look like calmed down just a touch. He kind of pulled a Whedon... seemingly got more control in the second movie and amplified the movie too much. It was "too much" Gunn just like AoU was "too much" Whedeon.

    Nah, don't feel sorry for him at all. He's accountable for his own attempts at humor. But he got a raw deal here and Disney's actions are incredibly cowardly. It'd be different if they hadn't known about any of this six years ago, or if Gunn had been making these kinds of jokes while in Disney's employ.

    I hope that in a few months when the faux-outrage dies out, Disney brings him back in. They can make a big deal out of it and make Gunn go to some sort of "don't anger the easily offended internet" seminar and apologize (again) and play it out like they're helping him overcome his lousy sense of humor and whatever. Spin it into a nice redemption/second chance PR story.

    I can't even look at these posts Gunn made, they disgust me. But just because I don't like them doesn't mean anything. Just because you find them offensive doesn't mean anything. A lot of comedians rely on being offensive (gods I miss George Carlin, he'd be so disappointed in society today) and while Gunn isn't funny, that's the only thing he's guilty of. Gunn got thrown under the "easily offended snowflake" bus by a dude who is an actual monster and, instead of just making bad jokes about this stuff, actively helped build websites for it.

    Nope, he only apologized for his misogynistic and homophobic comments. Nothing to do with these pedophilic tweets at all.

    Where's the outrage that Bryan Singer's name is still attached to X-Men films as a producer and that guy actually committed pedophillic attacks. I guess since he hasn't spoken out against Trump, no one cares that his name's attached to the X-Men films.

    Besides Gunn stuck to his promise and has acted better for the past 6 years. Since there hasn't been any pedophilic tweets in the past 6 years, I take it he's learned to not do that as well and has acted professionally even after being fired and facing all his past mistakes a second time.

    Not all outrage sticks.

    Fox simply didn't seem to care. He denied the allegations and since there was no smoking gun... waht can you do?

    Gunn's "jokes" pale in comparison to Singers accusations... but Gunn's "jokes" are out there for all to see.

    There was outrage online about Singer, it just didn't last long and everyone forgot all about it a few days later when the next idiot got caught and/or accused of doing something dumb.

    I doubt the outrage over Gunn will last any longer than it did with Singer, honestly.

    idk why you brought Singer into this. i don't like him either and think that he should be fired and arrested for his actions. and, like I said, he never apologized for those tweets, only stuff he said in offense to women and the LGBT+ community.

    Yeah, part of my issue with Vol. 2 was that it seemed to take what worked in the first movie and double-down on it to an absurd degree, while also highlighting the issues he already had as a director/adapter.

    hello??? I'm not sure how singer was able to get off the hook. maybe because instead of women it was men, which is unfortunate.

    I don't like Bryan Singer just be clear BUT

    1.He has never been arrest or convicted of anything
    2. 2014 He had remove himself from promoting days of the future past,There was so much outrage then it basically what is happening to James Gunn right now
    3. Disney ain't Fox. Disney has a family brand they have way lower tolerance level for these things
    4. Lastly FX removed producer credit from him on Legion and They are thinking about doing the same for Gifted season 2

    These are two far different things Gunn clearly did what he is accused of,Singer was accused and nothing more ever become of it.While he might have did it when you are never trial and convicted you are considered innocent. Without a clear conviction Fox was rightful hesitant do anything but they have been slowly distancing themselves from Singer.

    Yeah, he did. And he came out, which was really terrible because it seemed like he tried to explain his actions by saying he's gay.

    looks like avengers got it's butt kicked by detective conan in japan. Are you crazy marvel! You don't go up on the same day as a detective conan film! That show is so big there it's got a airport and whole town named after it! (it's been on 20 years and over 800 episodes!)



    Marvel should have known better.
