I wonder if Bryan Singer will still be involved with X-Men after Disney takes over.

His brother's not mixed up in this shite is he?

He's Kraglin and he does the mocap for Rocket.

It's pretty bad. Most of the jokes weren't funny either. If you're going to go that far to be edgy you better be sure that your jokes actually land.

That being said judging someone by some out of context failed attempts at humor from a decade ago is pretty dumb.

What makes you think its a failed attempt at humor? It seems more likely that he's a pedophile.

Oh stop it. One or two tweets crossed the line but the rest weren’t any more offensive than what you hear at a comedy club.


It's not one pedo joke. The guy did an entire set of pedo jokes on Twitter. You'd think that after the first three his friends would've told him to take it down a notch.

but tweeting “I like it when little boys touch me in my silly place” is fricking outrageous.

That one was an old school retweet actually. So he was quoting someone else's words.

I hate to see him go because I don't want Guardians to be ruined.

But I honestly can't defend him after reading those tweets. I'm all for jokes, and honestly I laugh about some inappropriate stuff many times. But he made references many times to touching or getting touched by lil boys in his tweets... Who tf does that. That is weird af They weren't even funny at that.

Twitter in 08-09 was a much different place than it is today. It wasn't filled with trolls and PC police. His friends either laughed or ignored it and went on with their lives.

But why were they okay for the first two movies and now all of a sudden they aren't?

I was always surprised the MCU took a director who directed Super and was involved in Troma to begin with.

I'm reading that Disney was aware of his tweets in the past, and his apology was enough.
It seems they're giving in to pressure from right wing groups now.

If you're easily offended, I guess.
It's abundantly clear that those tweets were meant for shock value.

That's the shite that bothers me.

ETA: The tweets are disgusting, but I don't like that they've only become an issue now.

There's no context where child porn is funny.

The irony being that Gunn defended Chris Pratt when people were down on him for being Christian and defended Mark Duplass when he endorsed conservative Ben Shapiro.

But then Gunn also made Chester the Molester jokes and railed on Trump, so...
