That One Girl Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Maybe I’m just numb to all the other shit on the internet I’ve read, but Gunn’s tweets, while unfunny, aren’t particularly offensive to me. People make horrible jokes all the time that poke fun at taboo subject matter for nothing but a reaction, and as far as I can tell, he hasn’t made any of these kinds of jokes recently. I think he has (had?) a lack of filter, and probably a sick mind, but I don’t think it necessarily makes him a bad person rather than a bad comedian. People can grow out of making dumb inflammatory jokes like that. If he, say, sexually abused someone else then that’d be unforgivable, but right now he just comes off as a tryhard back then rather than a shitty person. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had already been exposed as a hack, but not as a bad comedian. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Gunn probably agrees, because he had the time to delete more than 10.000 tweets. They are not ok for a well known people that reach a lot of people with them, but from a nobody with a very small audience of personal friend that share your sense of humors it can be.

Crazy he went that far in Hollywood before being exposed." Good ? I guess most people have not seen is movie43 written and directed short Beezel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie_43#Beezel Played mid-credits, Amy worries that her boyfriend Anson's animated cat Beezel is coming between their relationship. Beezel seems to detest Amy and anyone who comes between him and Anson, but Anson only sees Beezel as innocent. One day, Amy witnesses Beezel masturbating to summer vacation photos of Anson in a swimsuit. Beezel attacks her and violently urinates on her. Anson still finds his pet innocent but Amy threatens to leave if he doesn't get rid of Beezel. Caring more about his relationship, Anson agrees to find a new home for him. That night, from a closet, Beezel tearfully watches the couple make love (whilst sodomizing himself with a hairbrush and dry humping a stuffed teddy bear). The next day when it comes time to take Beezel away, he is nowhere to be found. Amy goes outside to look. Beezel then runs her over with a truck and attempts to shoot her to death with a shotgun, but she chases him into the street and begins beating him with a shovel, which is witnessed by a group of children attending a birthday party at a neighboring house. When Anson approaches to see what is happening, Amy tries to explain Beezel's motives. Beezel acts innocent and Anson sides with his cat. The children of the party then attack and murder Amy for beating up Beezel, stabbing her with plastic forks. Anson grabs Beezel, as Beezel again fantasizes about French kissing his owner.

That people still try to act offended about stars for just saying some stuff after well knowing the significant percentage of actual monster, one would have thought it would be over, that click-bait media made controversy about bad jokes.

I liked the GOTG films a lot, but I am not going to defend what Gunn said. Whether or not he should be fired is way above my pay grade, but I think he deserves to be blasted for his jokes. Rape is nothing to joke about, people,and I really think those who think it is need help,fast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is like the Joe Pesci character in Goodfellows;The Mob bosses know he is psychotic killer, but he is also a good "earner" so they look the other way until he makes the mistake of killing a higher ranking Mafia member....

OdinSon2k14 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) 2018 Villain List through mid-July The Infinity War tandem of Thanos/Ebony Maw remain firmly at #1, though they recently got a stiff challenge from The First Purge. Skeletor, a crack addict that wreaks havoc on the streets of Staten Island New York during a new government social experiment, fell just a couple of assaults short of dethroning the Infinity War duo 😂. #1-Thanos/Ebony Maw (Infinity War) 2. Skeletor (The First Purge) 3. Michael B Jordan's Killmonger (Black Panther) 4. Walton Goggins' Mathis Vogel (Tomb Raider) 5. Josh Brolin's Cable (Deadpool 2) 6. Charlie Day's Doctor Newton (Pacific Rim: Uprising) 7. STEM The Computer Chip (Upgrade) 8. Juggernaut (Deadpool2) 9. Indo-Raptor (Jurassic World 2) 10. Blind Creatures (A Quiet Place)) There may be some surprises coming up, Purge's Skeletor was one, that could challenge Thanos/Maw. For some reason, I got a feeling about that new Michael Myers movie 😂😂 Edited July 20, 2018 by OdinSon2k14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napoleon Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 The media is silent about James Gunn's tweets but they were all over Roseanne, Samantha Bee and Kathy Griffin until their careers were hurt or completely destroyed. Movie bloggers defending him while telling DC fans to commit suicide because we are so stupid and useless to ask for a chance to see a film we cared about without studio interference. So much for Time's Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, who laughs at that shit? If its not creepy then its straight up juvenile at the very least. And omg... since I just saw this story like 10 minutes ago, is Mike Cernovich the one that dug all these up? Lmao if so. Taken down by an alt-righter? lul.
