Losing James Gunn also hurts from the geek and technical standpoint.
I know he's a big proponent of 4K and I believe he oversaw the 4K transfers for the 1st 2 Guardians movies when they went to disc. And he loves shooting extras and talking about the movies and the MCU.
Shame, that he just couldn't keep his f*cking mouth shut when it came to his political viewpoints. Then this dirt resurfaced/ When he wasn't talking sh*t about Trump, he seemed like a fun personality chronicling the making of his movies.

If the nerds could survive Edgar Wright having to exit Ant Man after sucking the character’s nuts for like six years and still getting two good movies, they can handle Gunn leaving this.

Disney was real quick to fire Gunn... Wonder if there is more to the story.
I remember when Aflac fired Gilbert Gottfried for the Japan quake joke.

Marvel still used parts of Edgar Wright's Ant-Man script and gave him credit for it. Don't see why they wouldn't do the same thing here.

At the very least can he reveal the final Easter egg in GOTG?

It'll be OK. Disney has Ron Howard on speed dial.

Can we get a meme of Mickey Mouse wearing the Infinity Gauntlet and making half of the recent Marvel and Star Wars directors disappear?

I'm sure he's making plenty from whatever PAC the Russians are funneling money into to indirectly pay Cernovich for his services.

This is Cernovich's gig now. He got my favorite political commentator, Sam Seder, fired from MSNBC for 24 hours and a few of the sponsors from his youtube show pulled out due to an obvious joke about Roman Polanski. He's a piece of trash.
Anyone saying that James Gunn shouldnt be speaking out on politics at a time when many believe our country is under attack has an AWFUL take away from all of this. I'm not offended by Gunn's tweets, acknowledge those that are, but either way "Sit down and shut up" is not the answer.

re: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 (2023, D: James Gunn)
He is very active on Twitter too. Its neat to occasionally shoot the sh*t with filmmakers on Twitter. I like when its personal and not curated by a PR department to promote a new movie.
That kind of engagement is also good for business. Kevin Smith was one of the originals with his forum. Alex Proyas also had a forum where he was very active. Now theres Twitter.
This happened fast like with Rosanne. If I had to guess, Id say that they have clear training and lines that cant be crossed in their contracts. Though youd think Disney would have done some research before letting him in.

If anything, Gunn should get at least a "Story by" credit to satisfy the WGA. Whoever gets hired and I don't envy them will probably want to take a spin on his script and make adjustments. So they will probably get a screenplay credit. I doubt they will hire someone to solely work on what Gunn has written. Scripts usually go through multiple re-writes before and during production, so something will be touched up by whoever they hire.
Credit the screenplay to "Judas Booth."

I'm assuming a lot of blue check marks are deleting old tweets right now.

It's a "funny" thing how "one side" can say and do any kind of reprehensible sh*t with no consequences, while the "other side" can't wait to jump on "their own" at any time no matter if it's one person or 100 million that's feeling outraged.
The "other side" should really learn from the "one side" and try the "yeah, so? What about XXX?"-approach.

Should Disney now fire RDJ for all his past mistakes?
Hmm... this doesn't seem very Ant-Man like! Fired!

They had same choice to make 6 years ago and did nothing. The jokes are the same but the climate is different. Stupid he was fired.

Exactly. Gunn hasn't done anything questionable in the time since then (he apologized then, and it was dropped). This is not new sh*t - why are we acting like it is? There should be some sort of statute of limitations on this stuff.
And yet most of the same people outraged at Gunn all say how trump's past liaisons are in the past and shouldn't matter now....

Key difference is that Wright was removed due to creative differences not because of damaging/offensive/disgusting comments like Gunn made (no matter how long ago).

re: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 (2023, D: James Gunn)
Not to take anything away from Peyton Reed. But Ant-Man was still very-much an Edgar Wright movie. And so is part two. His creative input is obvious.

Very true, and unfortunately this is the world we live in today. :(

No sh*t. I find it shocking that people can't understand that. But this thread went exactly where I expected it to go.
