the circumstances of rosanne and gunn are quite different, I don't see how they are comparable at all besides twitter being the platform
James Gunn in demand after Disney Studio firing
- Thread starter Scullibundo
- Start date
Roseanne is actually racist though. She kept going back on her apology and making excuses for her comments.
This isn't anywhere close to a valid comparison, but you already knew that.
They fired Roseanne because she's a racist idiot and it finally caught up to her. The situations aren't as comparable as some would like them to be.
But the precedent! And Disney already did the deed, so it would be impossible for other parties to approach him.
Turn around, disney, or the alt right wins.
Are things some superhero fans here would shout from the rooftops.
And look how dark a situation it became.

You know fine and well these two situations aren't comparable beyond twitter being being part of them.
I kinda want to see a smaller project from him next. Maybe a mid-range horror movie or something. Clear his head, refocus on telling a good story and moving away from this drama.
Oh shit
Is there a widespread awareness of what's lying beneath the service? Many knew what Pizzagate was but didn't know who Mike Cernovich was or his background. I only came to know of him through an interview on 60 Minutes earlier in the year.
Publicly, the Gunn firing was prompted on the heels of #Metoo, but in truth, it seems more like payback stemming from the Roseanne situation a few months back.
How much of this is a known factor within the entertainment industry? I could see why they wouldn't acknowledge this if this were the case because on paper it sounds like such a goddamn conspiracy theory, but this is where we're at now.
At the very least, I'm glad David Bautista is speaking up, even if doesn't amount to anything in the long run. Are there any other celebrities engaged to what is going on, not just with the Gunn situation, but other bad faith attempts to besmirch celebrities by malicious parties who don't care about the issues they raise?
I recall someone on Breitbart slamming Sean Penn for using the term "faggot" in the 1980's, but meanwhile these people probably fret in private because they can't use that term without consequences in the present day.

Batista will be in every Gunn film for the rest of his career.
I think it's pretty clear now that Gunn isn't coming back. The story is already going away.
Green Lantern Corps,
Nathan Fillion as veteran GL Hal Jordan with Jon Stewart as a young rookie.

That's really all this is, but not just about Roseanne, an outspoken director against Trump being taken down a peg or two by implying some Tweets are more than they are but an actual rapist.
I think Disney got taken for an absolute ride and, now, they know they did.
you can't judge 2018 twitter standards on tweets from 2012 it really was a different internet era. Disney needs to cave. Because when Gunn becomes the DCEU feige they gonna be pissed
I think vol. 3 was pretty clearly going to be the conclusion to a trilogy and Gunn was going to move on after. Makes it all the more disheartening that he was fired this close to the finish line.
I do recall him saying on his twitter at one point that he would be interested in doing Ninja Turtles, and I would have to assume that it would have been better than the Michael Bay versions. Maybe he would have involved Henson to some degree again (although maybe not since Rocket and Groot were fully CGI).
Though I also wonder if any DC characters would work for him.
Saying all that though I still hope Marvel can sort things out and he comes back for GOTG 3.

He also most likely wrote whatever guardian and rocket dialogue in Avengers 4 and will get a producer credit for it
Apparently the issue is the SAG and legal issues. Gunn was contracted to do 3, and its how much disney is going to pay him. If they use the GOT 3 script they have to pay him even more. In reality if Disney just STFU for 3 days and ignored the gunn thing like everyone expected it wouldn't have blown up like this
That's gonna be a yikes from me dawg. Ron is a nice guy but he hasn't delivered in awhile. Plus I doubt he wants the reputation of "Disney's bland fixer."
I mean, is this surprising? Two well known rapists, who happen to be good directors, have been getting work for decades and that's not likely to change.
I'm not trying to compare Gunn to a rapist, but just showing that Hollywood is willing to give people work if they are good at what they do, regardless as to what questionable thing they may have done in their personal lives. Obviously the jokes that Gunn told, although inappropriate, does not compare to this other shit.
I hope this firing is a blessing in disguise and Gunn gets to work on his dream project whatever that is (hopefully that wasn't gotg)
