Jokes are rather tasteless and rude, but firing for that, imo, is too much.

I wonder if Guardians will live without Gunn.

It’s the huge amount of them that’s the issue, I think.

I’m not sure what else they could do with multiple tweets about subjects like raping sleeping women, laughing at people with AIDS, engaging in sexual acts with children, and jokes about the holocaust.

One or two tasteless tweets is one thing, but this is a systematic and repetitive level of disgusting behaviour over a long period.

 

[MadVillainy]

And even one or two tweets can get you fired

 

[OutOfBoose]

Yeah, the amount is rather surprising. The guy just couldn't stop.

A genuinely funny parody of the Aquaman poster:

I would've laughed harder if it was just only full of straws.

James Gunn has responded:

“My words of nearly a decade ago were, at the time, totally failed and unfortunate efforts to be provocative,” Gunn said in a statement. “I have regretted them for many years since — not just because they were stupid, not at all funny, wildly insensitive, and certainly not provocative like I had hoped, but also because they don’t reflect the person I am today or have been for some time.”

If you have regretted them for many years since then why didn't you delete them?!

Anyone else remembered this movie at the idea of Joker and Batman being half brothers?

"Nobody kills you but me"

It's the only time Wolverine and Sabertooth were brothers.

 

[MadVillainy]

This whole Gunn thing had me looking at my old tweets. Nothing bad but my God were they annoying and corny

 

[Boy Scout]

Gunn gets fired for tweets he made ten years ago, six before being hired by Disney.

Meanwhile Bryan Singer, an actual pedophile is still directing movies.

I mean, he very well could have been blacklisted if he’d worked for Disney.

Hoooooooly ****.

I love this.

He probably forgot about them.

Same. Someone once told me that if you looked back at yourself 5 years ago and weren't embarrassed then you're living life wrong. They might have been on to something.

 

[MadVillainy]

Facebook also has that Memories feature that makes me want to hop in a DeLorean and karate chop myself in the groin

 

[1627523]

Yeah I still don't get that either

wasn't he taken off Bohemian Raphsody? His credit might be on there, but I don't expect him to work ever again.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I'm glad that facebook mostly brings back comic panels I uploaded.

 

[Flint Marko]

He was "taken off" Bohemian Rhapsody because he apparently didn't show up to work and not because of the numerous molestation allegations from underaged victims. Gotta love Hollywood.

He shouldn't ever work again and I've been saying as much since for quite some time now.

And despite all of it, he's still getting directing credit for the movie.

 

[MadVillainy]

Yeah I think that's a legal/DGa thing though as to why he still gets credit

 

[Spider-Fan]

And despite all of it, he's still getting directing credit for the movie.

It is not FOX crediting him for that movie. It is the DGA. They have strict guidelines on what constitutes getting credit for a film. The companies making the movies actually have no say in that.

 

[Ninjablade]

Oh I know, just saying that he'll still get credit for whatever that movie's fate ends up being.

Thousands of tweets were deleted. I only saw roughly 2 dozen and if I was a company head he would've been booted.

Sounds like a lot of you guys haven't actually read the material. I dabble in crass humor myself, but what he was publicly putting out there was absolutely vile at times.

And let's be honest here, there's some serious hypocrisy in defending Gunn when we know damn well some other public figures wouldn't have been given the same pass. Being in Hollywood or a former comedian doesn't excuse you. Given the recent times, it's actually worse and highlights the already existing epidemic.

The guy who dug up dirt is also pretty disgusting.

Same. Though I must re-iterate I haven't read the tweets, I have made plenty of tasteless and rude jokes in my lifetime. Just not on a public domain, but it's not a sacking offense for me.

Guardians is one of my favourite franchises, I now worry about what's going to happen with it.

Yep. He’s a piece of ****.

But sadly, so is Gunn.

Yeah... he's a piece of trash, but unfortunately he picked the right target: a dumb movie director who made way too many pedophilia jokes on his Twitter profile.

In the DC Page to Screen Panel Dan Evans, VP of Creative Affairs for DC Entertainment, responded to a fan's question about the possibility of a Lobo show or movie by telling him to keep an eye on this weekend's announcements

I've read his tweets and they are pretty vile and indefensible. Besides, he also shared a link to porn with underage girls.
