In no way do I condone Gunn's behavior, whether joking or not, but c'mon. It's tweets from several years ago. Disney is about to basically throw away a billion dollar franchise over this when Gunn wrote a line about Star Lord's ship being covered in a dry bodily substance? Seriously? People change. Just because that's who he was then doesn't mean it's who he is now. Stupid move on Disney's part, in my eyes. Who knows if the cast will even stick around -- Disney could've inadvertently jeopardized the franchise on what seemed like a knee-jerk reaction.

Have you read any of his tweets? He “jokes” about sex acts with children. Absolutely disgusting and certainly not aligned with anything Disney represents. I don’t think anyone at Disney cared about a single movie franchise when firing him, when the alternative would having a company whose whole business is families associated with such an individual.

I don’t know how much of Guardians hinges on the directing. Pretty sure it’ll be fine.

Not a huge guardians fan, so I could be totally wrong here.

I think he was pretty influential all on them and setting the tone and as something different than rest of MCU - but at the same time the franchise will survive. I think those saying this is the end are really overblowing it

Participating characters were announced in early August for last year’s Photopass day. We probably won’t hear any more details for a few weeks.

This is the second announcement! ::yes:: I thought the first was "save the date" kinda a thing and this new post would have the juicy morsels, but no. :worried:

Considering he wrote them as well AND wrote the dialog for the characters in Infinity War, and directed them - he's pretty much the heart of the GotG movies and characters. Oh, AND his brother appears in the movies as both Yondu's sidecick AND he does the motion capture for Rocket.

I have to say I am usually in defense of these choices - but in this case I think it was the wrong move. Not because what he said wasn't awful, because it was, but in this case it was something he wrote many years ago clearly intended as humor, and also he apologized for it many years ago. IF this is something he just said TODAY or in the last few years then I would agree that he has to go, but i really feel like how can we allow anyone to be in any place of power for saying something stupid in their younger days - even something terribly stupid. We all make bad jokes in our younger days, and even 10 years ago offensive jokes were more acceptable than they are today. (Not to get political but even though I dislike the President, I could really care less what he did with prostitutes years ago.)

OK - that's all I'll say about that - I'm sure this probably has it's own thread.

In other topics I am a little annoyed about Photopass Day on August 19th. We are there from August 24th to September 2nd, and there are ALL these things that are ending either just before our trip or just after our trip. Sick of seeing new things come that are other weeks. I guess this is the peril of being so in tune with the news of the day.
 
I only saw him being removed as director, assumed they lined up someone else to write GoTG 3.

I always see the same promo days and think, “Why couldn’t this happen when I’m in the parks?” Sucks you just miss it!

I don't know if this has been reported. Sorry if it has.

Bing Bong's Sweet Stuff Confectionery is now (finally) open at Pixar Pier in Disney California Adventure!
