The guy sincerely apologized for his tweets that were made over 10 years ago and has actually changed. If we do not accept the fact people make mistakes and are willingly changing themselves for the better, we as a society are fucked.
An out of touch old man probably didn't want to admit that he got played by the rape apologist who ran a smear job on James Gunn.
Yes, but he was just trying to be edgy or something so it's fine.
Heck yeah!!! Words can't convey how excited I feel about this! I know it's just Disney movies. There are more important issues. But Gunn brought a unique flavor and heart to these stories, these characters that made the films something beautiful. That tiny victory is something some of us need right now. Heck I'm elated!! Here's to hoping Guardians 3 succeeds in building on the themes and arcs of it's predecessor!
It's nice to see the acknowledgement that people can change and be forgiven too.

What's more, he had apologized and changed his ways long before the firing, not in response to it. Compare the right wingers who suddenly go "this was long ago, I'm sorry if YOU were offended" when they get caught.
25 pages and I just noticed this thread! Wow! Well, good job on bringing him back.
More importantly, he has apologized with sincerity on multiple occasions over the last few years, well before his initial firing.

Man, it must feel good to be a superhero fan right now. DC is making some really good moves right now. Marvel is continuing to roll their massive momentum. Sony got their shit together for Spiderman in the best possible way. Fox is... umm.. getting aquired by Disney soon. Great times for all, and almost everyone in the industry looks to be good sports about it :)
Exactly. He apologized, showed he has changed, and was sincere about it. Glad he is back.
Same thing that probably saved Rick & Morty. Harmon dropped a legit apology vs being a defensive asshole or a dropping a half-assed fake sorta apology.
It was sad to see that their were, and still are, people who seem to believe that Gunn should not be forgiven for his jokes. I guess some just don't believe in the concept of forgiving, second chances or just that humans are capable of changing.
One day we will be saying this to the fact that the Fantastic Four is joining the MCU.
I searched his old twits. Gross. Even if he truly changed i think is bad to hire this dude again.
Wasn't Cernovich one of the guys pestering Disney over Gunn's tweets, and he had a past of stanning for pedo shit himself? Yeah, don't be quick to see these alt-right guys as virtuous, immaculate pillars of rightness if they point out flaws with left-leaning folk, because the shit they've got hiding in their closets are likely 100x worse. It's the whole projecting thing, they all do it, just like their asshole-in-chief.
Being a paedophilia i guess
Even though the allegation itself is very questionable
It would be cool if the Mix Tape for VOL. 3 is one Quill created for himself.
We all did. Never said otherwise. I said it's a mistake give him this job again. You understand ? Or im going too fast ?
It's definitely a joke that the entire world is playing on you.
Wow! Thank you Dave :)
This is a completely unexpected turn of events at this point, but it's seriously good that it happened for everyone involved. After setting one of the worst precedents in the industry, Disney somehow course corrected and sets a pretty good one with his re-hireing.
I'm looking forward to Gunns end to his trilogy and hopefully he's able to influence the cosmic side of the MCU going forward.

Thinking on this a bit more the whole situation was ridiculous. Sure James picked up another job with DC/WB but it's thrown out all of Marvel/Disney's plans they had going and set them back only to then get him back later on when they could have just kept him and stayed the course (where I think they would be currently filming GOTG3) and not reacted to a bunch of fake outrage in the first place.
Now they have to wait until he's finished doing whatever he signed up for in the period they got rid of him, making GOTG3 delayed from what the original plans were if they didn't react so stupidly about it all.

Oh shit, I thought hope was lost by now. I'm so glad Disney did the right thing after their absurd reactionary response to a professional troll's politically motivated attack on Gunn.
Do you have any decade old mistakes you'd like to reveal for us so that we can judge you and screw with your livelihood as though you're exactly the same person, and no amount of personal growth or sincere apologies matter at all? Grow up.
Like his comments were pretty well-known and he'd apologized for them multiple times in the past and obviously Disney knew about them when they hired him, so nothing about the whole deal ever felt like anything but the most transparently manufactured hit job in the world.
I mean obviously someone apologizing does not mean anyone has to forgive but idk.
