I don't think any public statements given by these guys are exactly reliable. Movies are always fraught with petty internal politics and creative differences. All things being equal it seems more likely to me than Marvel Studios suddenly caring what a tiny minority of internet nerds think.

It’s literally fan fic tho.

It’s assuming a whole story based on nothing but their own imagination and ignoring any evidence we do have if inconvenient

I’ll use a different word, made up story then.

Disney has never been shy about throwing their directors under the bus. If there was conflict he would’ve been gone. Gareth Edwards, Edgar Wright, Patty Jenkins, and Lord and Miller are good looks into how quick Disney can turn on you.

Don’t let the fact this guy politics vaguely align with yours blind you.

It has nothing to do with his politics, it has to do with people acting in bad faith using these techniques as a cudgel against their “enemies” while never actually applying the same standards to their side. The bad faith part is what you should be focusing on - they don’t actually care that he said whatever lovely things. Thus a director gets fired while their pussy grabbing hero became president. It’s about power.

That's actually two different companies---Ike Perlmutter is the CEO of Marvel Entertainment, which controls the comics themselves and TV properties, but has zero control over Marvel Studios, a division of Disney.

I know, he was still the one that chased away Favraeu and Wright, and made Shane Black’s life hell. Feige pulling a power play to get Perlmutter out of the day to day decision making was one of the better moves for the brand.

Doesn’t mean Ike doesn’t have pull at Disney, he’s their guy, they installed him as CEO and he still gets a say in certain things.

They aren’t you are playing bad team politics.

Like I said if they get someone making poo poo up but hand waving something away do to bad faith or whatever just makes you look bad. If one of these shitheads were getting lambasted for old tweets you would be cool with it. All I’m asking for is consistency.

But you don’t care about that. This isn’t about power or whatever as they have none and didn’t use any. This was a hole James dug himself.

James Gunn made dumb edgelord jokes ten years ago. Not only were they public this whole time, but his entire early career was literally based on this. He loving wrote Tromeo and Juliet for Christ's sake. This whole thing is bullshit and has made my interest level in GotG go to zero.

Eh, Perlmutter has been CEO of Marvel since 2005, having been involved with the company in one capacity or another since the early 90s. He was apparently offered a place on the board at Disney after they bought Marvel but said no.

Ah yes, wouldn't want to appear partisan. Then members of a political party that's completely disconnected from reality which believes in paranoid conspiracy theories, dystopian level of wealth disparity, and dark age religious extremism wouldn't take you seriously after all.
