It's been a pretty amusing year.
When Gunn's tweets were first revealed, DC fans were quick to proclaim him a pedophile, and by association, fans of his movies were pedophile enablers. DC (and by association, DC fans) had higher standards, they claimed. DC would never have someone like
that on their payroll.
When Disney fired him, DC fans were giddy over the prospect that GOTG3 was going to be cancelled. Oh boy! The MCU was in trouble now!
Then the real fun began!
Before the ink on the Disney termination was even dry, DC was begging this "pedophile" to join ranks with them. At least Disney had been unaware of the offensive tweets when they hired Gunn. DC scooped him up, fully aware. So much for those "higher standards".
And to make matters even more hilarious, instead of maintaining some semblance of "higher standards" themselves, by denouncing this move, these DC fans suddenly became very, very silent about the whole thing. No more pedophile jokes from that crew of spineless hypocrites.
But hey, at least the MCU took a hit from all this with the cancelation of GOTG3. That's a big win in any DC fan's book!
Uh nope. After months of contrition for his past sins, Disney finally relented and brought Gunn back. GOTG3 was on again! DC fans hardest hit.
Which leaves our poor conflicted DC fans with nothing to look forward to - except a James Gunn helmed Suicide Squad movie.
... and the prospect of it being one of the best of the DCEU movies.
