    Kinda like how the "left" goes REEEEEEEE on their shit and gets people fired all the time, then when the "right" picks up on the tactic, and all of a sudden, people bitch and moan.


    I personally think the whole things is stupid when this type of shit goes down, but I do love the tears about the "right", as when the reverse happens, it's a party in the house. If only people thought more about the Pandora boxes they unleash, and held their BS in check, from the beginning, then we wouldn't be watching things like this burn.

    While I agree, theres a serious timeline difference. The left has mostly been going REEEEEE over present day incidents. The tweets that got Gunn fired were nearly a decade old, long before the ridiculous anal retentive PC culture we have today existed.

    I mean it's not like we spent a good 6 pages or so discussing the differences between this situation and Roseann getting canned that went over these points already.

    Could Gunn come back and say they can't use his script? It wouldn't a wise business decision, but is it an option?

    Not likely. Of course it all depends on what the contracts say, but work product you create under contract (or as an employee) belongs to the company and not the creator.

    His reasoning is the reason why libtards got trolled into friendly fire.

    The production of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is being put on hold for the time being as Marvel and Disney regroup on the project, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

    Sources say that crew members, at this stage a small group that was prepping for pre-production, are being dismissed and are free to look for new work.

    The Marvel project was to have been directed by James Gunn and was to have begun principal photography in the winter, either in January or February. The project was crewing up and was to have gone into full pre-production mode in the fall.
    Shit.

    Disney willing to throw this much money out the window holy shit.

    I don't know for what reason at this point. They're damned if they do, damned if they don't. They would save BILLIONS by bringing him back. I'm pretty sure that the stigma would die in less than a week of bringing him back, while not doing so will last years.

    Pretty sure you're over-estimating the vocal minority. This is a world-wide franchise, and most of the world doesn't give two shits about American PC non-sense. They are going to see the movie whether James Gun is a part of the third movie or not, and Disney's not gonna lose money; there's not going to be some world-wide boycott of this unless the cast leaves, and nobody is seriously talking about that happening, because there's too much money in leaving vs staying.



    Also, Roseanne doesn't apply; she's always been a loud mouthed, loose tongued moron (no matter which political side she has been on), which I don't think can be said about Gunn. I don't think either should have been fired, but business isn't always fair.

    Well, I think I'll probably stop after Avengers 4.

    James Gunn gonna make a new scooby doo movie. Itll still be his GotG script just with Shaggy, velma, Fred, daphne, and scooby replacing Guardians. And also Adam Warlock will be revealed to be the janitor fed up with all the noisy school kids ruining his clean bathroom stalls.

    Was joking with my bf today that the cast will just shoot the movie secretly on their own using their industry connections.

    Of course it can't happen (Disney would never let anyone see it) but I could totally see that bunch of people doing something that ridiculous.

    Wow, you really haven't been paying attention. Bautista was dead serious about asking to leave, all or most of the cast have been public about wanting Gunn back, and 3 posts up has the link to the whole damn thing being "put on hold." The crew being told they're "free to look for other work" means this is no short-term delay.

    Bautista was also serious when he said he would finish up his contract. Disney isn't going to let anyone leave. Everyone is still going to watch this movie. It's most likely going to be fine. Gunn was a huge part of the movie, but we still loved them in IW being directed by the Russos. They're still using Gunn's script, and they can still ask Gunn for advice if they want, and these actors know what they are doing with their characters. Shit's gonna be fine, and if its not, this was the last GotG with this cast anyway, so we just move on to the next thing.

    Movies on hold. So yes, they're putting a ton of money down the drain.
