SDCC speculation and (eventually) photo catch all

[Choryujin]

Pole-dancers and dongs... [things that go together]

What an awesome $10,000 Pyramid hint

True. With all his tweets about molesting young boys, if they put him in a situation where he could and actually did...

People need to realize that things posted on the internet, said during interviews, etc. can haunt them forever.

Yep. And even if he didn’t do anything that stuff will now forever get asked at press events and you really don’t want your press tour constantly highlighted or headlined with articles about pedophilia and rape. Not when the next film is probably gonna stat shooting in a few months. That’s just to soon.

It’s in poor taste obviously and it’s oretty clear he was just being a troll or idiot and not serious. But it was dumb. Which is why I’m so very glad there wasn’t Social media when I was younger and stupider. Did some pretty stupid **** when I was young.

Side note..these studios should be doing deep dives to know this stuff is coming before they hire these people. Wasn’t like it was hidden info.

I'm sure they're going to now. Bet there will also be a lot of people grooming over their own social media history to look for anything that could become an issue.

Very happy about Vulture...

very sad there is no Nebula...

These forums are the closest thing I come to in using Social Media. I laughed at MySpace, then Face Book, Twitter, Instagram... And friends always asked me why I'm not on them....

Well, duh!! ....

Then they'd have very few actors, directors, executives and producers left to make movies.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's ridiculous.

Edit: Reading the tweets, they were in extremely poor taste. Seems like he didn't have a filter and thought he was being funny. Still, it was 10 years ago... people can change. Look at Robert Downey Jr.

What were the offensive tweets?

This is what happens during the corporate overtake of creativity.

I just googled them...pretty messed up stuff. Obviously not serious but still messed up including tweeting a link to actual nasty stuff. I've have a twisted sense of humor but even his stuff seemed out of bounds

They are really bad.. But they were from 10 years ago. The problem is there was a time when it was fun to shock and disgust people. Look at so many comedians of the past.

Here's something of a run down on a lot of them, read at your own discretion

^ that is very odd and confusing, I feel like truck loads of context are missing

There's no context that's going to make any of that seem right.

Context no longer matters anymore. It's what you do or say. Not why you did or said it. Today people are guilty 1st and must be proven innocent.

(I felt a great disturbance, as if millions of posters suddenly went 'ohhhhhhh' with disappointment)

Exactly. The demand for Bespin and Solo and we get this. From the wrong company.

I don’t see that in this case. Might wanna read them first. It’s pretty messed up stuff.

 

[kiwiatlarge]

Well dang, that's some pretty crazy stuff...

Edit: Maybe Taika will take over. We know he can do the colourful 80's imagery... Not sure I could cope with him injecting lots of "chur bro" into Guardians though.

It was bad enough when Star Wars cast kiwis and made Boba Fett's origins into 'Jake the Muss in space'..

Well, it's gotta be Disney 'coz Momoa made that rape comment re being a comic book character right at SDCC panel - it's on YT - and nobody seems to give a ****.

There’s a big difference between what he said and what Gunn said. And Gunn didn’t just say it once. It’s like a dozen or so times.

And there is also a difference between having an actor with a history and the guy in a position of authority over everyone as both director and producer. And I would bet if there was suddenly a huge ground swell of people upset at Jason there would be consequences for him as well.
