Guardians of the Galaxyfans , and MCU fans in ecumenical , are now receive their say on Disney ’s dismission of James Gunn , and a muckle of them are n’t happy . AChange.orgpetition calling on Disney to revoke grade and re - hire Gunn went up two 24-hour interval ago , and by Sunday afternoon had already received over 65,000 signatures on the way of life to a finish of 75,000 total . The petition statement reads in part :
I agree on the point that if people say a clump of stupid reciprocal ohm – thyroxine while working for a studio apartment , the studio has full right to send away him over the potential controversy . This position is very different though as he made these jokes years before he was working for Disney and also the fact that they were jokes . I agree with most , including Gunn himself that the joke were s — ty and un - queer but they were still joke , it was n’t an judgement or a statement , it was just a regretful endeavour at being funny .
The other thing is if you do this to Gunn you have to do it for all the other theater director who have said some crappy jocularity sometime in their life , which is all of them , cause I doubt there ’s one homo on this major planet who has n’t made a s — ty laugh once or double in there [ sic ] life .
While call on Disney to go back on their decision and re - hire gun , the orison conceiver Chandler Edwards freely admit it ’s highly improbable the studio will abide by , no matter how many signature they get . Edwards state he hop the prayer will at least send a signal to Disney that their fan believe they made a error in firing Gunn over his older tweets . Before his twenty-four hours directingGuardians of the Galaxymovies for Marvel Studios and Disney , James Gunn made his name working on quirky and some might argue tasteless films likeTromeo and Juliet , SlitherandSuper . Many saluted Disney for hire Gunn to handle the cock-a-hoop - budgetGuardiansfilms , praise the generally conservative studio apartment for their willingness to take a risk on a quirky movie maker with a very particular good sense of humor . Indeed , Gunn ’s strange sensibilities are generally listed as plus anytime critics discuss the twoGuardiansfilms , which have collectively grossed $ 1.6 billion worldwide .
However , Guardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3will have togo on without James Gunn , after the very same good sense of sense of humour that help the director make million for Disney certify itself in a much less acceptable way of life . Of course , many would argue there ’s nothing humorous about Gunn ’s tweets at all , with their references to pedophilia , rape and other extreme national matter . On the other handwriting though , the 65,000 people mentioned above clearly do n’t see those dated tweet as an criminal offence worthy of firing the creative Einstein behind the hitGuardiansfranchise .
