Thread:Comments:US director James Gunn fired from Marvel Studios for decade-old offensive tweets/It's rare......./reply

Here's a question for you: what exactly should Disney have done? Not meant at all rhetorically. Either there's something else they could have done that would not have blown up in their faces, or you're asking too much of them. Independent of what would theoretically constitute justice toward Gunn. So, how would Disney have gone about doing something other than what they did without either creating a backlash against Disney as a whole or, at the least, creating a backlash against the movie he was being employed to make?

While we're at it, what is the best-case scenario for Gunn? Is it possible that this is it? He loses his job, he accepts it unhesitatingly and says the stuff he said then was dumb then and he's a different person but he still accepts full responsibility &mdash; and maybe, after people have had a chance to talk about how he's a good person now, and he accepted full responsibility, he gets employed again, perhaps somewhere other than Disney so as not to muddy the waters, and is accepted back into polite society (as it were).
