James Gunn: what is your response to him being fired?

[FatAndFaithless]

Seems pretty in line with the image Disney is trying to maintain.  They aren't the edgy, push-the-envelope humor creators that Adult Swim is for example.  Someone dug up an old tasteless video that Dan Harmon (Rick and Morty) did a while ago, and Adult Swim just said that Harmon understands that type of thing wouldn't fly on their network, but is fine with keeping him.  

Disney doesn't want to be even peripherally associated with that sorta thing if they want to keep their family friendly image, so they gave Gunn the boot.  Did they know about those tweets? Absolutely.  But the public largely didn't, so it's only when they're put in the spotlight that they needed to act.

Which is odd considering this is a company that use to try an sneak  sexual innuendo  into their cartoons

Eh, hiding some winks to adults in their family movies is one thing, Gunn's stuff is more than a few steps above that.
