God damnit. I mean he did make those James Gunn Censored Porn videos first, he's always been a crude dude. Sucks he made those shit jokes though they were just blatantly offensive and Disney don't like that shit.

...Why in the world would he even tweet that? There's no chance that something like that doesn't result in a huge backlash.

Literally two seconds of thought could have saved his job. I can't feel sorry for him even though it may cause GotG3/future installments to suffer.

If you read the article you'd know he made those tweets years before getting the job.

there is literally no reason for anyone to be using twitter in 2018, at best you scream nonsense into a void, at worst you put your foot in your mouth and it's immortalized for all of eternity and your career is fucked instantly

This.


Amazing that this case is the one time you find it fair when all the rest you defended it to the grave.

On topic though it is a fair next. Sucks though, GotG was one of my favorites and 3 is all but fucked now. Rip.

Literally the only other Marvel MCU director than Joss Whedon who feels like he has a unique style rather than just being a paid surogate for Kevin Feige.

Made some shitty jokes years ago. Now we all have to suffer lower quality movies cause everyone is trigger happy.

It's really not that hard to use social media without being a jackass. Twitter is the best custom newsfeed in history

Well, those were some bad tweets, totally. They were also obviously insincere, and he has for the past few years been a pretty respectable dude and strong ally of the Me Too movement.

Also I really liked GoTG. This is unfortunate.

but like, how did Disney not already know all of this about him when they hired him, this aspect of his personality wasn't some secret that has been well kept or anything, this is what he was like before being hired to make films for the MCU, I remember thinking it was unusual he got picked up to make superhero films knowing what he had done previously. I think it is kinda a spineless move on their part
