drawkcabi Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Watching season 2 of GLOW now and all I can think is if they don't let Marc Maron play Stan Lee in a biopic it's be one of the hugest missed opportunities in film history. Some of my favorite Marvel moments*** : Pretty much every Stan Lee cameo, but I think Age of Ultron's is my absolute favorite. First after credits scene in Iron Man. Cap's chase after Hydra spy right after he's "born". Black Widow meets Bruce Banner in Avengers. "Puny god" Fake Mandarin (I know I'll get in trouble for this one but I really loved this and Ben Kingsley's portrayal "ole, ole, ole, ole!" Elevator scene in Winter Soldier. Dr. Zola scene in Winter Soldier. Black Widow in disquise/stand off scene in Winter Soldier. Jules' bible quote on Fury's headstone in Winter Soldier. "Come and Get Your Love" opening in Guardians Vol. 1 Jail Break in Guardians 1 Every Groot scene in Guardians 1. "Howard The Duck" end credits scene. Young Robert Downey Jr. on Civil War Black Panther motor cycle chase in Cicil War. Splash page show down in Civil War. Hank Pym, Peggy Carter, and Howard Stark scene in Ant Man Garrett Morris cameo in Ant Man. Young Kurt Russel in Guradians Vol. 2 Yondo's death scene in Guardians 2 Loki-Oden in Ragnarok. Loki's reaction to Hulk on Ragnorok Loki's Reaction to Hulk God Smashing Thor in Ragnarok. Pretty much all Loki scenes. ***Have not yet seen: The Incredible Hulk Black Panther Avengers: Infinity War Ant Man and The Wasp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes me think reality is just about read to break. I thought whatever side of the political spectrum people are on they'd have an issue with bad "jokes" being misinterpreted/represented as endorsements/facts. I'd think the folk on the right who have the "I can say what I want" mentality are probably more protective of free speech than the far left in a warped sense. It's only the crazy right (and left to be fair) who think only they/and those they agree with should be able to say what they want. "free speech" doesn't mean your immune to being fired for what you have said but losing your job for Terrible jokes (when it's really revenge for your political comments) is a indicative of a great cost to what you say. Most people probably have some digital comment somewhere that could land them in trouble in this current climate. Their only shield being their relative obscurity - I doubt Disney would fire any member of staff who had similar tweets simply because they are "nobodies" who aren't targets.

It's amazing how you can tell the exact moment he realises, despite the fact that he doesn't say a word the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derfel Cadarn Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Seems a bit odd that Gunn gets sacked for bad taste jokes tweeted years ago he apologised for, while Down Jnr Is the linchpin of the series despite his very checkered past and time in jail.

Maybe he hasn't upset the wrong people? Or maybe he's too important to Disney? Hopefully Disney will realise they over reacted here rather than culling all talent who work for them with dubious Twitter history. In MCU/TV news Jeph Loeb was again reiterating that all the current TV shows are set prior to the click and that they won't mention it until avengers 4 addresses it. Does make me wonder if there will be a time undoing resolution so the shows don't have to deal with the snap event. I've just been watching "the leftovers" and 2% of the population disappearing screwed the survivors over - I dread to think how a society would process 50% loss even if it was temporary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Downey Jr's past offensive or obscure? The Gunn tweets were dragged up because they are offensive and apparently not everyone knew of them so they could be freshly shocked and appalled, and Disney would have to respond to the outrage. One of the selling points I've seen for Iron Man, one of the reasons people love the character and the whole gestalt, is that Robert Downey Jr and Tony Stark are very similar!

RumHam Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I mean Downey Jr. was just an addict and supposedly has been clean for years. I don't recall him ever hurting anyone or anything. Most people are pretty understanding about addiction provided you eventually get your shit together. 1 hour ago, red snow said: In MCU/TV news Jeph Loeb was again reiterating that all the current TV shows are set prior to the click and that they won't mention it until avengers 4 addresses it.

I don't find it that surprising. I know. I was listening to some commentary on this today.

He had a bit of a comeback in Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang, but before Iron Man, he was not exactly a sought-after commodity in Hollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Gunn apologized several times in the past, including when he was hired by Disney in 2012, but I do not think he ever deleted them. there is a persistent yet false rumor that he deleted 20,000 tweets over the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Rian Johnson apparently deleted over 20,000 tweets over the weekend. At least according to someone who supposedly had a total count of his tweets, and noticing the number going from about 22k to just 1100 in a few days. I wonder if Disney sent out a directive to all their (major) employees instructing them to start regular tweet purges as a practice, as a way of trying to avoid another similar situation. I don't think Johnson said anything in his tweets that was at the level of bad jokes Gunn had said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Yeah I saw that. I find it pretty unlikely that RJ said anything that could be used as ammo in this fashion considering that, well, it would have a while ago. Also, 20k tweets...I hope he used a program for that.
