Do people think James Gunn is the first person working for Disney to ever be criticized by Fox News?

This isn't Fox News we're talking about. Cernovich is a pizzagater, a redcap, and a guy who went to bat to offer to legally defend 8chan, which is actually full of predators.

I'm not loyal to anything, General... except the dream.
With how opportunistically Tucker Carlson has swung to cater to that crowd and how genuinely Hannity and the like have done the same, I'm not sure the distinction is all that meaningless anymore.

Disney really should have used this as an opportunity to take the platform though. They don't have anything major for sdcc and Gunn's there anyways. Could have just had him host a panel where he apologizes very publicly (again) and then him and some high profile types do a talk on abuse or whatever else.
Just caving and firing him over this is giving up too easy and will empower the bad guys here

It's also owned Miramax for quite a long time, since right before Pulp Fiction came out. Technically, Mia Wallace is a Disney princess.

Nah they sold Miramax several years ago. And no, there's specific requirements to be a Disney PrIncessTM, none of which Mia Wallace met beyond being a woman.

Moreover, these guys are the vanguard of calling people over-sensitive online Alt right legion ripping their shirts about free speech MAGA chuds who would be absolutely be defending those exact tweets if they were made by a member of the right. This is literally the opposite of their stated values, it is entirely a cynical and sinister ploy to advance a narrative that Hollywood (and by association, liberals) is morally just as bad as anything the right does. It was started by a man that leveraged a child prostitution conspiracy theory to build his own brand.

Quite apart from anything related to James Gunn, this should piss you off that these fuckheads are using the methods invented by gamer gate to go after people in bad faith they disagree with politically. Eventually, people who don't deserve it will get run out of public life using these same type of attacks.

This guy was similarly obsessed with secret rings of pedophiles and was also part of the same online ecology that guys like Posobiec and Cernovich essentially created

I like that they're being pretty open in this trailer that "yes, they're superheroes/villains" as the whole gimmick of the therapist had me concerned that they were going to try and put that genie back in the bottle. Granted, Shyamalan's rep means that could still becoming, but I'd say it's more likely Anna Taylor-Joy's character ends up also having powers. She has an alliterative name and it would even up the sides.

I thought Unbreakable was underrated as hell when it came out and loved Split, so I’m hoping this lives up to it. If you told me two years ago I’d be hyped for an M. Night movie again I’d have laughed at you, but I can’t wait for Glass.

"Go on until you're stopped."
In all honestly even if Gunn was guilty of actual bad stuff, Disney should have waited a week and then fired him for looking at Mickey funny, rather than give anybody the impression that alt-right hate squads are going to have an effect on their decisions.

Speaking of Miles, he replaced Spider-man when he died in the comics, well, now movie Spider-man is dead, so it's plausible that they could toss him in.

He is, but so far they've just shown him as Miles so no word if he gets spider-powers too.

He likely will, but either for the sequel or mid-game twist.

Yeah, they've said that in the game you have sections you play as Peter and MJ too.

I think there are good odds you end up playing as Miles but I think they're gonna save that for closer to the game release or not say it at all because it's a twist in the game.
