One page back.

I’m gone for awhile and forget everything.  🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Don't know if this had something to do with the recent decision.

New photos have surfaced of Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn attending what appears to be a pedophilia-themed costume party.

The first to uncover the photos appears to be the Daily Caller’s Ian Miles Cheong.

Recent reports indicated that Disney was actually planning on bringing James Gunn back into the fold.

After a strong push to get James Gunn back as director of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” following his firing from the project, Disney and Marvel are standing by their decision to not reinstate him as helmer for the next installment. The decision came following a meeting between Gunn and studio chairman Alan Horn.

Insiders say Marvel president Kevin Feige was out of town and unable to attend. Sources added that while it was rumored that Feige was pushing to bring Gunn back, Feige stands by the studio’s decision to not bring back the “Guardians” director for the third installment.

So now there's tweets surfacing from Michael Ian Black, Patton Oswalt, and Sarah Silverman about pedophilia.

Is there anyone here that makes pedo jokes or enjoys them, or is that just a Hollywood thing?

It's not like he did a few jokes about pedophilia and rape, he deleted over 10,000 tweets, granted I'm sure not all of them were about that but it wasn't just a few. 

If you're always making jokes about being a pedo and raping, there's something else there.

 I don’t agree with his politics, but I do like his movies...and through the many interviews I’ve watched enjoy his personality. This IS huge because he was a major influencer for the MCU. Nobody is safe these days...

Sure they are, as long as they're not tweeting about pedophilia and rape, over and over and over and over.......

Buh bye......

I like reading the comments of those who are trying to defend him.  Deleting 10,000 tweets.....

I had high hopes for the movie, especially since I think GOTG is the best Marvel movie, but this was very underwhelming and lame.  It started out promising with the flashback and great song but after that it went downhill fast.   I don't want to be a debbie downer but here's my take on some of it.  I'm sure I'll remember other stuff laters.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

- It seemed right off the bat that there was a lot of sexual innuendo, talking about male genitalia, and cussing.  I'm no prude and my partner leaned over to me after the Yondu brothel scene mentioning about a lot of innuendo.  Not sure what's up with that but this is the first time I've outright noticed that before. 

- Another scene that seemed weird was when Ego was showing them his creepy moving statues when he found that little girl then showing him meeting Peter's mom.  He looked like some sort of weird pedo creeping on that little girl with his 70s look.  Then later on when he showed Peter those statues of him making out with all those other females seemed really out of place.  Just very odd.

- The soundtrack with the exception of maybe 2 songs is terrible, there are so many other songs that would have made the movie "feel" better, I think that really helped in the first movie.

- Can someone explain those weird gold looking people???  Don't remember them in the comics and it looked silly when they were on the gamer biker screens playing galaga.

- The CGI on Ego was terrible, it looked like they were in the Lord of the Rings or The Wizard of Oz.  I was expecting to see a hobbit or muchkin running around.

- The CGI fight scene between Ego and Peter was bad; pacman...really?  It's taken Ego millions of years to get where he is and to have Peter and his bunch take him out so easily was underwhelming.  It really made being a celestial not really a big deal, especially after showing what they could do in the first GOTG.  It would have made more sense to have Peters dad be a less powerful being.

- The best parts were Nebula and Yondu.  Drax also had really good scenes with Mantis.  But Nebula and Yondu were what made this movie bearable/enjoyable.  Their inner struggles and sacrifices made me actually care for them and feel sad at the end of the movie.

- They could make a movie just on Nebula and Gamora by what they revealed in this movie.

- Sly looked pretty good for being 70 or was it all CGI?  They did a good job on young Kurt Russell back in the 80s, digged the feathered hair. 

- So is Stan Lee a watcher or not?  I'd say not if he needs to wear a spacesuit???  Was expecting more on the end credit scenes, nothing exciting.  Was hoping for a Thanos cameo.

- I really really really wanted to love this movie but I'll give it a 5/10. 

 

 

Well dang James Gunn, some of my comments from last year make perfect sense now...... 

Solo was ok, not good, not bad.

It didnt give enough info about him or why he’s the way he is.  Which I'm sure there will be other movies to flesh that out.  The part about how he got his name was lame also.

Woody was great, I was thinking he’d be a great mentor and could see how Han would turn out the way he was from him but oh well.  

Lando, too flashy, but then again he was younger but it doesn't fit with the the era.  He also wasn't fleshed out enough.

The PC/SJW culture of today is ruining Star Wars, Landos robot was 

The only modern SW movie worth anything is Rogue One, you can skip the rest.

Thor tells Gamora Hela was his half sister, who is Helas mother?  

Thanos, 

Is the comic as bad as the tv show now?

Where did everybody go?  This thread is a ghost town.

Id rather of had Negan escape and they make a spin off show of him starting over, it would be better than watching Emo Rick and his merry band of followers ruin one community after another.

why is that? what is different that compels you to see those but not this one

Don’t know, maybe because it felt disconnected from the MCU.  Plus all the pre hype had me excited and let me down big time like The Last Jedi.

I went in with low expectations for GOTG, Ant Man, and Dr Strange and left impressed with those films.

Is this a movie with repeat viewings? I find it interesting that many of the marvel fans from the boards who usually see their movies (big distinction) haven’t posted their comments or reviews 

 

I usually see MCU movies (exception IM 3) twice in the theatre but not this time.

Geez buddy you’re not interested in reading them but you want one of us to take the time to give a synopsis? 

 

Yes 

I haven’t read any WD since around issue #100ish.  

I know that Neagan gets captured and put in a cell but that’s about it.

Can anyone fill me in on what I’ve missed, I have all the issues but not interested in reading them all.  Thanks.

Did the credit scenes at least bring you some excitement?

The very last one did, they could do a good 10-15 min on how they’re rehabilitating him, the first one just sounded like something similar to what Tony Stark would do.

I was expecting that they’d at least throw in Bucky during the movie.

I think they can make this work, looking forward to it.

Hate to be the first but it was probably my least favorite Marvel movie, no sorry that’s Iron Man 3.  I think I went in with really high expectations with all the reviews and probably about halfway through was thinking, when is this going to get better.  Same feeling I got from The Last Jedi.

After the movie my partner mentioned they almost feel asleep twice.  I don’t know, the visuals were awesome, cast was great, with the exception of Agent Ross.  He just seemed out of place and weak comedic relief.   Didn’t like the ending, would have been better to have Jordan’s character still in the MCU.
