is it for sure trump that did it? cause I also saw it was the Me Too movement and I wonder if Trump people just piled on, and then took credit for it? but it was really Me Too that did like 90% of the work.

Disappointing but not surprising. I just hope that whoever they get to make Guardians 3 won't ruin it.

no matter what, it will be different. he wrote the scripts and made the worlds for the movies. and he was doing that for 3 too. but they won't use his script now. someone else is going to have to write a totally new script and it will not feel the same as the first 2 movies. even if they try to make it like it. it's impossible to be exactly the same cause it's not the same brain thinking it up as before

I'm more real and genuine than your outrage that a piece of shit got in trouble for his actions.

I see nothing suggesting that he's a piece of shit. And how am I outraged just because I disagree with them firing him? Like you pointlessly said, they have the right. The worst thing I'll do is not watch Guardians 3.

Saying I have psychosis, you sound wonderful.

I enjoy the way you can say the most horrible things and still come off smelling like roses to your own nose. Everyone else are the bad guys!

gunplagirl posted...
That's an explicit suggestion, which is drastically different than something that is tacitly implied, but I'm now questioning whether you even understand what an implication is.

What does that have to do with you seeing things that aren't there every way you look?

gunplagirl posted...
And you make it sound like they knew about all of his past posts and were okay with it.

Are you suggesting that when fucking Disney hires a person to direct their next blockbuster movie they don't dig into his twitter history. No I'm not saying they knew ALL of it, but 100% a lot of these posts that are now surfacing are not new to Disney.

gunplagirl posted...
But I don't exist and you imagine I gave psychosis so what would I know, I'm just one of your sick fantasies and even I reject you.

You're not my psychosis. You're the manifestation of the psychopathy of modern day feminism manifesting in one troll account to make all what you pretend to stand for look bad.

This is why most people fucking hate liberals.
Yes, his comments were cringy and dumb, but certainly nothing to be fired over and punish millions of fans over.
Bunch of spineless over sensitive pussies we've become.

It was both sides that pissed on him.

this was the movie that was going to introduce Adam Warlock. Guardians 2 hinted at and set up his debut. I wonder now if he will even be used or will they want to totally change direction

I'm not losing sleep over this but its kinda dumb.

"This guy made this great and popular movies and is really good at what he does."

"Yeah but years ago he made some unfunny jokes."

"FIRE 'EM!"

I mean if you were burning to death in a housefire who would you want to save you?
1. A trained veteran fire-fighter who knows what he is doing but said dumb things 26 years ago

or

2. A fat guy called Bob who can barely run without toppling over but as far as you know he's completely PC all his life?

On a related note, i understand that a director is critical to how good or bad a movie is...but does everyone really think another can't come in with the same cast and crew and make a watchable/enjoyable movie? there are a lot of good directors out there. The Cast is the same. the writers are the same.

Other than Gunn, Whedon and maybe the Russo brothers with Winter Soldier, but meh, I can't think of any director in the MCU who feel like they're putting their personal touches on the movies rather than just following a template. Hell, Kenneth Branagh directed Thor and it was the most boring, most standard superhero movie despite it being Kenneth fucking Branagh.

I dunno. The only thing that saves Thor 3 from being as big of a worthless clusterfuck as Thor 2 to me is Hulk and Jeff Goldblum.

I once told off a guy for having a rape joke in his sig and got modded for flaming. Then the told the mods that his sig was bad and he deserved it and they told me flaming wasn't OK and his sig wasn't an issue. They banned me for making my sig the mods condone rape. Therefore according to gamefaqs rape jokes are gone.

Anyways. They're distasteful but nothing to cry about. And certainly not something to fire a guy for years later. Disney is well within their rights. I just find it silly.

This

Thor had great chemistry with the Guardians in IW too. It's perfect.

Anyway it sucks that he got fired but I'm shocked Disney didn't see this years ago. Or did they and they just didn't care? They hired fucking RDJ and we all know what he was like shortly beforehand, but I suppose being a drug addict is better than joking about pedophilia.
