The one thing he'll always have on his side is that he's freakishly talented. Roman Polanski raped a child and it didn't hurt his career that much. All James Gunn did was tell some off color jokes. He'll recover from this.
1. He went back to Europe. Europeans are more liberal with that sort of thing, like they knew it was "statutory rape" and that there's some gray area with it, like she might have been ok with it then, not later, parents were choked after which made her angry, she took drugs, he got blamed for maybe forcing her to take drugs, maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
2. I really don't trust our own court system in the US, I never have and I never will and that doesn't even have to do with me being half black.
3. A lot of american actors still wanted to work with him and the time of it was different, if what he did happened now, he'd be done. He'd definitely be done.
James Gunn right now has lost a billion dollar franchise and a potential to reboot a classic 70's show. I feel bad for Gunn, especially in this case, because it's literally the most Pejorative Slured thing in the world to be fired for. I can't even believe he got fired for it, it's just so f***ing ridiculous.
Welcome to the more than 2 gender, sensitive as f***, attacking people on social media to ruin their careers, generation.
DC, hire this man please, for the love of god, please hire the guy. Fire everyone attached to the Justice League movies and bring this man in. If there is anyone that can work an ensemble cast in a super hero movie, it's him. It's definitely him.
