So apparently Disney/Marvel straight up stopped Pre-Production of Guardians 3. Like told everyone getting prepped to go home and find other work. Ha ha ha ha ha Disney hosed themselves so hard on this one and they literally cannot find a way to save face and so now they are just tabling the movie until the news cycle is such that maybe in 2-3 more social online outrages they won’t remember Gunn at all. A stunning backflip over the shark tank. Mike Cernovitch literally robbed joy from millions of nerds Bust Rodd fucked around with this message at 15:00 on Aug 25, 2018 |

Ghost Leviathan posted:Appeasing nazis to own the nerds "Appeasing Nazis" would imply that the cause of Fascism was aided. In reality, the Guardians of the Galaxy movies are about criminals working to preserve the status quo, which is pretty much the definition of Fascism. Ironically enough, what Cernovich achieved was delaying the production of a Fascist movie.

At the very least, the alt righters handled this as poorly as possible. The targetting of the Rick and Morty guys made and others made it impossible for them to just pretend it was metoo, and the alt righters who were formally "counter culture" and "anti censorship" now look less cool than ever. Public meetings of alt righters have been dwindling. Now that they are directly bothering nerds maybe nerds will completely stop tolerating them.

I feel like under the circumstances, it would probably be kind of hard to get somebody to come in and fill the role left by Gunn. I couldn't imagine working with all the actors, knowing they'd most likely resent whoever took over. Better to just scrap it. Yeah, Guardians is a money maker, but they can easily create another. But in the end, gently caress Disney.

I'm sure all of the actors would be perfectly professional (especially Chris Pratt because he's still kinda wishy-washy and afraid to rock the boat in any major sense), but they definitely wouldn't be giving it their all. Bautista especially wouldn't be pleasant.

Reminds me of something I heard on the director commentary for Black Caesar. "What I would do is I would ask an actor to lie down on the ground and I'd just get a quick shot of them lying facedown. Then any time an actor gave me trouble I'd say, 'I already got footage of you dead. Now I can kill you off anytime I want!'"

Nobody tell BravestOfTheLamps we've had antihero films since literally the 19th century. Starting to wonder if he can't finish without finding something pedantic and meaningless to moan about. Also, wtg Disney for supremely loving yourself out of a nice fat paycheck because a Nazi rapist whispered something you already knew in your ear.

Didn’t someone predict that Disney was probably going to shelf GotG3 until that one old guy, Alan Horn, who caused this whole stink gets the boot in December? And then just rehire James Gunn? I hope this is what is happening. Because I want another Gunn directed GotG. Also this is one hell of a stupid hill to die on for Alan Horn. This fiasco pretty much eclipses any good decisions he EVER accidentally made in his lifetime career in Hollywood. No matter what happens there’s going to be a footnote in his obit and on his tombstone that he is the sole person responsible for losing/nearly losing a billion dollars plus plus plus for the company he was second in command of and putting the future direction of billions and billions more and the future of the continued success of the MCU in danger because he sided with a handful of Nazi rapist terrorists over pretty much EVERYONE ELSE ON THE PLANET. (Slow clap) You know if Iger gave a poo poo about his legacy as well he would have stepped up and fixed this poo poo way earlier before it turned into this staggeringly expensive shitshow because By doing nothing he actively endorsed Nazi rapists over global opinion and profit. By doing jack poo poo he’s just as responsible as Horn and Cernovich. Disney stockholders should be breaking out the torches and pitchforks. I think the only reason they aren’t is because of the FOX merger. melbatoastXXX fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Aug 27, 2018 |

I think if that was the plan someone would have gotten word to Gunn and he wouldnt have taken that bullshit "we're not rehiring you" meeting. Plus theres the issue of why would he even come back at this point? How much poo poo do you have to eat before you just say gently caress it and move on?

I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here. The GotG movies are terrible, artistically and morally, which makes it natural that the fans want Gunn's terrible tweets to be forgiven by Disney so that he can direct more terrible movies for them. "Antihero films" is a rather nonsense category, like "protagonist books". GotG is about pandering to manchild fantasy and sentimentality, which is why Gunn has such a loyal fanbase to demand his reinstatement.

I don't know anything about Alan Horn but this whole ordeal makes him out to be some sort of Mr Bean like figure of bufoonery in which to avoid stepping in dogshit he instead gets his foot stuck in a bucket, steps on a rake, pulls down a clothesline and sets a building on fire.

Yeah, that was all I planned on replying to/with. He got sad during his month-long probation and PM'ed me, figured I should get it out of my system. I will say, it's been good to see the pretty much universal support of his cast and crew thus far, and from several different parts of the industry overall. I'm not expecting Disney to balk because, well, Disney. But if there's even a 1% chance of this turning back around, I'm willing to hold out just a little bit of hope for it. ricdesi fucked around with this message at 14:43 on Aug 27, 2018 |

ricdesi posted:Subjective opinion stated as fact. Why the hell would you format a post like this? You're making no coherent point because of how you've chopped up your post. Like, you have nonsense here in the vein of "50% of all fiction is pandering to manchildren (?) and therefore the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise is not morally bankrupt (??)" . The closest thing to an argument here is that you're defending broadly "liking things" and fandom. Disney fired Gunn under "dubious circumstances" despite him being popular. You're arguing that Disney's crime is betraying fan loyalty, and they should rectify this by rehiring Gunn to honour those fans. So it's like with melbatoastXXX: the question of acceptable public discourse is subordinate to profit or, in your case, fandom. Also, when are you going to post those random screenshots of Man of Steel? BravestOfTheLamps fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Aug 27, 2018 |
