"GOTG"-kolleger støtter fyret James Gunn

Støtte: Disney har fyret “Guardians of the Galaxy”-instruktør James Gunn – nu støtter kollegerne ham.

Fredag blev James Gunn fyret i kølvandet på en sag om gamle, upassende tweets – læs om det her.

Men det passer bestemt ikke alle “Guardians of the Galaxy”-skuespillerne, der utvivlsomt så frem til at gentage samarbejdet med Gunn på “Guardians of the Galaxy 3”.

Drax-skuespilleren Dave Bautista er tydeligt uenig i Disneys beslutning.

I will have more to say but for right now all I will say is this..@JamesGunn is one of the most loving,caring,good natured people I have ever met. He’s gentle and kind and cares deeply for people and animals. He’s made mistakes. We all have. Im NOT ok with what’s happening to him

Det samme gælder Michael Rooker, der har spillet “GOTG”-rollen som Yondu. I et nu slettet tweet som svar på, hvad han mente om sagen, skrev Rooker:

”James Gunn ved det. Det er det eneste, som betyder noget.”

Endelig er Sean Gunn, bror til James Gunn og “GOTG”-skuespiller, gået i forsvar for instruktøren.

It goes without saying that I love and support my brother James and I’m quite proud of how kind, generous, and compassionate he is with all the people in his life. Since he was a kid, it was clear he had a desire (maybe destiny) to be an artist, tell stories, find his voice through comics, films, his band. The struggle to find that voice was sometimes clunky, misguided, or downright stupid, and sometimes wonderful, moving, and hilarious. Since devoting his entire life to the Guardians movies and MCU six years ago, I’ve seen him channel that voice into his work and seen him transform from the guy who made up things to shock people. I saw firsthand as he went from worrying about “softening his edge” for a larger audience to realizing that this “edge” wasn’t as useful of a tool as he thought it was. That his gift for storytelling was something better. I saw that he was more open-hearted than the guy who thought he needed to get a rise out of people by making nasty or offensive jokes (or whatever you choose to call them—I don’t think his bluer material was ever his funniest and neither does Mom). And the best part is, this change in my brother was reflected in the change that the Guardians go through. I’ve heard my brother say many times that when Quill rallies the team with “this is our chance to give a shit”—to care—that it’s the pep talk he himself needed to hear. It’s part of what made working on the Guardians movies such a rewarding experience for the cast. We managed to find ourselves involved in a big-budget superhero movie that was, at its core, deeply personal. That’s a gift. And that’s why it’s good. This isn’t new information, by the way. It’s all stuff that James has explained many times in interviews, in more detail and more eloquently. It’s not some new spin. It’s always been part of this story. So I guess my hope is that fans continue to watch and appreciate the Guardians movies, not despite the fact that the filmmaker used to be kind of a jackass, but because of it. They are, after all, movies about discovering your best self. Working on those movies made my brother a better person, and they made me one too. I’ll always be proud of that. Peace.

Også Chris Pratt og Zoe Saldana har nu kommenteret sagen – dog på en lidt mere forsigtig facon.

It’s been a challenging weekend I’m not gonna lie. I’m pausing myself to take everything in before I speak out of term. I just want everyone to know I love ALL members of my GOTG family. Always will.

“Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters. Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.”

Der er mange ligheder med Scarlett Johanson situationen her og andre ligende sager.

Det skal forstås på den måde, at en lille gruppe højtråbende landsbytosser har alt for meget magt pga en elendig presse. I dette tilfælde graver nogle imo bagateller frem om en person. Pressen sluger det ukritisk og blæser det op. Det skyldes imo at pressen i dag er sensationeldrevet og tjener på overskrifter og "opinions" i stedet for substans.

Dette gør, at objektivtieten er i frit fald og det handler ikke længere om fornuft og logik, men om at smede mens jernet er varmt og trække hvem som helst gennem mudret (berettiget eller ej) for derved at tjene flest mulige penge.

Der er desværre ingen penge i, at skrive "her er reelt ikke noget at komme efter" og derfor bliver det i stedet "artikel" efter "artikel" med ligegyldige opinions fra ideologiske drevet "journalister" der efter hastags, selektiv og ukritisk. fremfinder fuldstændige ligegyldige personers tweets og facebooks comments for at fremme en fortælling om at folk er i chok og sårede på følelserne. Derved stiller de virksomheden/organisationen skakmat og i en situation, hvor den eneste reelle mulighed de har for at lukke sagen er fyresedlen eller blive trukket gennem mudret.

Når sagen, så er "vundet" så hopper "The outrage mob" videre til næste ligegyldighed som pressen så kan blæse ud af proportioner. Det er skruen uden ende.

Jeg synes det er sørgeligt at se på, men det er desværre den verden vi lever i pt.

Dan Harmon er også kommet lidt i modvind over en sketch han lavede tilbage i 2009. En parodi på tv-serien Dexter, som indholdt en voldttægt af en babydukke..

Nu kan skabere slippe afsted med langt flere ting på Adult Swim (plus de frygter sikkert også at få alle Rick and Morty fans imod sig).

Jeg kan godt lide deres håndtering af denne sag:

“At Adult Swim, we seek out and encourage creative freedom and look to push the envelope in many ways, particularly around comedy,” the statement reads. “The offensive content of Dan’s 2009 video that recently surfaced demonstrates poor judgement and does not reflect the type of content we seek out. Dan recognized his mistake at the time and has apologized. He understands there is no place for this type of content here at Adult Swim.”

Nu er Disney kommet i mere modvind over at have fyret James Gunn, men stadig har #MeToo anklagede John Lasseter ansat.

Der er lidt forskels behandling :/ En ting er at sige nogle ting en anden er at handle og gøre...

#15 Ja føj siger jeg bare. Det er lige før man overvejer at boycutte The Incredibles 2.

#15 altså han er jo sådan set fyret, eller han forlader i hvert fald jobbet, og er på konsulent basis indtil da, sandsynligvis på grund af et eller andet kontrakt forhold.
