Power Ranger was trying to paint an ugly picture of the MCU and that's what they originally intended to do based on the original subject heading which was altered because it violated the rules. No, it didn’t violate the rules. So why was it changed? |

It was clearly a troll post that violated the spirit of the rules if not the letter of the law. Suggesting the MCU attracts pedophiles (while ignoring the fact that James Gunn now works in the DCEU) any more than any other studio is pretty pathetic as mud-slinging goes. It's DC-Fan level stuff, I expect more from Power Ranger. |

I don’t. He’s just another butt-hurt troll. When you’re as wildly successful as the MCU, these boards attract them like flies. |

He was not an MCU actor but he was an actor that appeared in a Marvel show. Nevertheless, it is newsworthy.
The new title is stupid. "AoS 'Extra' charged with sex crime," would be better.
As for the crybabies, get a grip.

Disney has good background checks, how could this happen? Next thing we know they employed Harvey Weinstein. They hired James Gunn,i m not bashing him btw i m saying its weird they decided he didn't meet their standards this year despite publicly talking about his tweets years prior. Shane Black hired a convicted sex offender in his predator film. |

Disney/Marvel only made Gunn apologize and remove the content on his website (ie the homophobic and misogynist comic content). This was not related to the later pedo-themed tweets, pics and videos.
Marvel/Disney apparently had no idea of Gunn's pedophilic and rape tweets and blogs - or they would have made him apologize/remove them too.
Gunn neglegted to disclose this. Respectively, he continued to make pedohilic/weird tweets during his Disney tenure (eg the "Eagle snatches kid is what I call it when I get lucky" tweet). He deleted 10k of them when he got wind that opponents were screensaving them.
Now he is with WB/DC.
deliberately so, I understand he was a friend of Shane Black and this was no secret. The scene was cut later after the actress complained. |

Shane Black hired a convicted sex offender in his predator film. James Gunn had apologized for his tweets and blog postings years ago before he was even hired to write/direct Guardians of the Galaxy, he was let go from Vol. 3 not because they didn't know of his history of questionable humor over the years per se but because the controversy was too great a risk to continue like it was business as usual. Disney wants to project the image of clean family entertainment, they do not want controversy surrounding them that would tarnish that reputation which is why in the end it matters not if he was joking, they cannot risk the loss in faith from the average consumer. |

Pray tell: How did he phrase it? Do you have the link?

He apologized back in 2012, linkYes, in 2012 he explicitly apologized for his homophobic blog, nothing more.
In 2018 he apologized again for his countless pedophilic tweets and rape comments after they resurfaced. Those things had nothing to do with each other.

1. The guy isn't exactly an MCU actor so not sure why it was posted here. Still an interesting read but this is quite obviously a bait thread.
2. Though the guy is probably guilty, I generally refuse to assume a person is guilty till it's actually proven.

Its not particularly against the rules but....the guy was in one episode of Agents of Shield?
Why was that even worth posting on this board? Nobody knows who he is. I'd understand if it was a main actor or like when we had a thread for James Gunn but this should have been posting on a more appropriate board because this has nothing at all to do with the MCU.
