User Warned: Post-count shaming
69 posts in 2 years here. Gee, I wonder what your agenda is.
i wonder what happens with the actor contracts, my understanding is due to the delay all of them got released? Hopefully all of them get paid and sign up for another one.
No. Everybody's still under contract for at least one more solo movie, which is GotG3. Marvel Studios actors usually sign up for at least 3 solos and further cameo appearances. Dave Bautista really wanted out of his contract since he had signed up to do a trilogy with James Gunn. But his contract didn't have a clause to release him if the director got fired.
lmao Disney is a fucking joke. Glad he's back, they were going to use his script anyway weren't they?
Yes. They were always going to use his script.
I'm not even sure anyone else could have pulled off his script the way James Gunn intends to.
There's some joke here about reattaching one's nose after cutting it off themselves. Glad he's back. They should have never paid attention to a rapist's smear-campaign.
Oh come on. The man eats children! We can't trust a word he says!
I'm of two minds on this.
First off I NEVER cared that he was fired for those tweets. One of the first things I was told in College was to take care of your online image. Make FB shit private, don't post stupid shit with your name attached to it ... cause it can cost you job opportunities AND get you fired from ones you already have years in the future. These are true things, it happens all the time with normal people. My Supervisor was canned over this last year. So I don't really see why people think famous people should be held above this.
Plus there's the fact that he's a glory hog middle aged guy trying to make the most of his new found success even at the cost of stepping on younger, break out talent. Like, he wrote and directed GoTG 2 himself ... so in contrast to GoTG it seems clear to me why 1 was so much better than 2. I'm far more inclined to believe Nicole Perlman's accounts on what she gave to the work than Gunn's "I basically rewrote it from the ground up" BS. GoTG was grade A great and GoTG 2 ... suffers greatly from poor story structure and comes across as overly comical IMO (IIRC ... I forgot so much of that film). I find it far less memorable and was hoping to not have these problems arise in GoTG3 with a different team.
But at the end of the day Perlman seems to have been recognized for her skills by the industry seeing how she went on to write for CM and Detective Pikachu and Gunn IS a great director so the characters will be fun at least.
So over all it's what ever to me. Not a huge Gunn fan but happy for those who wanted this. I also see this as a stand against letting Right Wing trolls control culture sooo yay.

Looks at this fliths
You should write Disney and tell them about it
Truly a man of the people, for the people
This issue sort of illuminates that the claims made that people exist who don't believe in folks becoming better people, and insist on judging folks by their worst regardless of atonement are real.
Sort of a "Just throw the whole person away" if people aren't flawless from jump. I find that really lame considering Im sure if we searched any of these folks personal histories we would find shit in their past they wouldnt like to be judged by. If your whole thing is "Fuck this person forever for being wrong once upon a time regardless of context" then that's pretty shitty of you. Just saying.

Re-watched Guardians 2 in celebration of Gunn coming back, and I can't picture a Guardians movie without Gunn.
Its so weird how people can have such different opinions, like it seems clear to me how much better GOT2 is to 1 for all the reasons you mention. I thought the GOTG 1 was way more comical(but it wasn't that funny) and had a poor story structure and lacked character development and had very little emotional impact, compared to GOT2. I'm not saying your wrong, its just weird.
Please let me know when you find out what it is. My post history is lacking though so it should be easy and I'm sure a mod or admin could check my IP.
My agenda is participating in the discussions on this board that I have interest in. Hmmm explains why I'm here wasting my time?

MODS! Notify ZattMurdock pls!
I'm bumping this thread because I'd like to say a few things:
I see Era as my internet "home". It's not the place my real life friends post, but it's the place where I find people from all around the world that love the same things as I do. It's a place that allows me and all of us to grow and educate themselves to become better human beings as well. Sawing all these posts while I was banned warmed my heart a lot, even more so than seeing that Gunn was reinstated as the director of Vol. 3.
But I also wanna say that I take full responsibility on why I was banned, not only the last time, but the several other occasions before. I'm fully aware that the moderation and admin team - and Era, as a whole - didn't have any obligations of allowing me to come back. Posting on Era isn't a right, but a privilege, and a privilege I've abused. Sometimes, for my short temper, others for my impulsiveness and very few occasions with good - but yet misguided - intentions.
I've asked to the Era admin and moderation team one last shot to prove my worth to the community. I know that my temper got the best of me several times in the past, but I truly value Era and I see it as a place of personal growth, a place with people that allow me to grow and educate myself as an human being. If I walk out of the line, you all can be pretty sure that I won't ask for another chance. I've asked this shot to prove my worth, because Era matters one hell lot to me, and at the height of my 38 years on this Earth I'm not ashamed to acknowledge that. I'm aware that I need to restrain myself and control my temper, because truly in my heart of hearts I never intend to act like an asshole there, but I know that I need to learn to recompose myself and these 3 plus months have taught me that.
I want to thank the admin and mod teams on Era for this opportunity and for giving me this one shot.
I love all of you. I love Era. With every bit of my heart:
I fundamentally disagree in that I think GOTG2 was vastly, vastly superior to 1. It's much better written and emotionally complex. The first was just humorous, but the second one was humorous while also making a point about emotional abuse and growing past your parents. The first has a weak villain and not much else going for it beyond the novelty of the tone. I basically agree with Lindsay Ellis here:

Welcome back, Zatt. :)
I'll give you that on the opening scene but after that, no.
I agree wholeheartedly with this. Not that Vol. 1 isn't good, but I'd argue that Vol. 2 is as good as The Winter Soldier compared to The First Avenger.
Also, Lindsay Ellis verbalizes everything I absolutely love about Vol. 2 and Guardians as whole.
Love that video and agree. That while GOTG is not, not amazing as first film entry. It's kind of safe by the numbers for the most part. Especially in terms of the villain. Although i can also see why folks may not really adore GOTG 2 given it's more open canvas take on humor and length. I kind of look at it from the perspective of my own none love for Ant-Man 1. Even though i really liked Ant-Man and the Wasp.
It is like he wrote it for ways to work with his friends.
That plus the opening being a mess of trying to please the crowd and nothing else.
It's still top tier MCU but the first is better for me

2's humor was awful. The whole movie was carried by the emotional weight of its scenes (which isn't a bad thing, mind).
Did we watch the same film?
I agree about the points on the second film but the first is much more than just humor.
I find the first film is more consistently great. The second one takes a while to get going but the last 40 minutes is amazing.
They're both great. Gunn hits all the right notes in his films.
Am I missing something? What was wrong with the opening of Vol2? It was a really fun scene and also a way to show that the spectacle of a giant battle isn't the main takeaway from these movies and that its main focus is the characters.
I disagree maybe the film is a little heavy handed here and there in hindsight. But i thought Ant-man 1 had pretty overplayed humor and more bad beats. Compared to GOTG 2.

Yep, it was a fun way to open the movie. And it conveyed the message that their current jobs were essentially mercenaries for hire.
I HAVE FAMOUSLY HUGE TURDS
I have sensitive nipples...
Did you make a penis?
Yeah, 2's humor was really bad, most of the time. It's a shame because every other aspect of the movie was spectacular.
