zslane Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I think it is an open question whether GotG3 will use Gunn's existing screenplay or not. Disney is hypocritical about a great many things, and we are all certainly free to despise them on that basis (I certainly do). However, no one is likely to summon enough rhetorical power to shame them into reversing their decision on firing Gunn. Nor is all the backlash likely to hurt them financially in the long run, so while Goldthwait's ragequit play probably feels good to him and will get a good twenty four hours worth of attention, he will just get lost in the noise like everyone else who ever publicly shook their fists in fury at Disney over the decades.

RDU Neil Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 2 hours ago, Christopher R Taylor said: Nothing James Woods has tweeted even comes remotely close to what Gunn posted. And again, I'm confident that we'll be hearing more about this man's, er, proclivities in the future. Better to get ahead of that if you're Disney. This... I keep wondering if there is just more in the background that is simmering out there, and Disney is getting ahead of it, so when Gunn gets hit with some much more serious accusations, it isn't their problem. Who knows... maybe not... but it just seems like Disney knows or suspects something deeper and more current. Then again, his original tweets were really bad, so...

zslane Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 And even though Gunn's pedophelia jokes are nearly a decade old, they resurfaced because of his very recent political rants. As wonderfully creative as this guy is, there's a point at which his need to be an aggressive voice of online social activism changes the calculus of his worth to a company like Disney.

I doubt if they'd do that after ousting him based on their claimed values. So, I guess no more Drax.

Lord Liaden Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 If discussions of that nature were going to be held, they should have been when the resurrected tweets were first publicized. If one or more Disney execs made a snap decision, they deserve the crap they've stepped in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted August 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I'm guessing they were. I can't see Feige being okay with this decision, as Gunn figured heavily in Marvel's future plans. He would be trying to get Gunn rehired, or at least a compromise now that the Guardians main cast have come out in support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Frankly, not a fan of Venom, but it looks like they're changing the story so most of the 'evil' is in the Symbiote rather than Eddie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I need input from Venom fans as to whether this looks good or not. I loathe the character, so I'm in no position to judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loathe the character, so I'm in no position to judge. I thought he was interesting in the first year he came out, then he got over played and Mary Sued and dull fast imo. So I can't judgee by more than that but it seems a lot like lines and behavior seen in some comics I've read. Others would know more.

Christopher R Taylor Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Yeah I'm in the "do not like Venom" and his spinoffs as well. Not interested at all in this film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Shadow Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Make that another in not liking Venom camp. In fact you can put me in the "I find Venom disgusting" camp. It was shortly after he was introduced that I stopped reading Spider-man. And I haven't been back since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 The concept of the symbiote "suit" was sort of interesting when it first appeared, but I was never a fan of turning it into its own complete character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikmar Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I think it says everything that I can say about Venom in that it came out of the original Secret Wars. Despise the character and hate most things that were "changed" in the Marvel Universe from that point on (Kitty and Colossos breakup, alteration of the FF, Symbiote Spiderman).
