James Gunn is the director of Guardians of the Galaxy. He was slated to not only fill out the rest of that series but perhaps take over the entire Marvel franchise after the final Avengers film. Now he’s out of a job over decade-old disgusting tweets regarding rape, monkeys ejaculating on children, and similarly horrifying material. The tweets are purely loathsome.
That doesn’t mean he should have lost his job at Disney. Gunn says that his tweets were “outrageous and taboo,” adding, “As I have discussed publicly many times, as I’ve developed as a person, so has my work and my humor.” If everyone in Hollywood lost their jobs for saying loathsome things, there would be a lot of people in Hollywood about to lose their jobs (virtually every major comedian, for starters).
