Take a look at this shit. Our man James Gunn went from Troma to Disney, and they fired him. He'll no longer direct their sci-fi/space Marvel movie sequel, because of some rape joke he made 10 years ago.

Google James Gunn and see:

Pretty harsh, for someone who was able to give a little of his own personality to this Marvel continuity where the director truly doesn't matter. You can swap out the directors of those movies, and they'd still be exactly the same. Gunn made Guardians a little different. Hell, we had a goddamn Lloyd Kaufman cameo in Guardians, and that's what this is all about. Yet, Disney wont let bygones be bygones, and he's out.

I've been losing interest in these Marvel movies lately. They're getting too formulaic. The be-all-end-all of cinema. I hope they fade out soon.

I think it's crazy that everyone gets fired for tweeting inappropriate jokes these days. Honestly, I have heard almost everyone I know say more offensive things (sometimes jokes, sometimes not) than anything in these stupid tweets. But I guess it's okay if they don't go public.

Have you seeked out some of the tweets he posted.

This is unbelievable.

That being said, moving from Troma to Disney is a massive culture shift and probably the two most culturally diametrically opposed studios out there.

So I guess Disney shouldn't be surprised.

Good! Gunn will be fine. He's a talented guy. Nice to see Disney make themselves suck just a little more.These company's time is coming. They're "business decisions" are gonna catch up wth them, someday.

My feelings are mixed. It's bullshit to fire someone over a joke. Yet just a couple months ago, he thought it was perfectly reasonable that Roseanne lost her show for her Twitter joke. I can't stand Roseanne, but it's enjoyable to witness a Hollywood leftist's inane beliefs backfire on them.

Didn't know about that. He kind of has a point though. You can say whatever you want, but it doesn't mean people are going to like it. I think both situations are pretty stupid though. His because it's such an old comment, and Rosanne's because... well... it doesn't seem unexpected from her. That network should have known who they were dealing with, and Disney should've known where James Gunn came from.

It wasn’t just one comment, he made a bunch of jokes about raping kids and other things, but of course firing someone for making offensive jokes is stupid.

I haven't followed this story, I know nothing.
But if he made comments about raping kids, jokes or otherwise then how the fuck would Disney not fire him.
I mean this is Disney that likes to present a squeaky clean image
