James Gunn Reacts to Gina Carano Firing - Should He Have? - Hollywood Hypocrisy

James Gunn, who was fired (and later rehired) to Disney's Guardians of the Galaxy franchise has been caught LIKING certain tweets, tagging him regarding Gina Carano's recent firing from Disney's The Mandalorian. I like James Gunn, but I was disappointed to see him get involved, and seemingly LIKE disparaging jabs at Gina. Is this more Hollywood Hypocrisy? Share your thoughts down below...

Disney fires a good person like Gina, but a menace like Spider-man gets unlimited movies!!

Man I'm falling in love with this channel. I'm a Liberal but it hurts to see this blatant attempt by American media to shut down anyone who's even remotely right wing. There should be room for discussion.

I've lost all respect for Gunn. Almost gets cancelled, thought he learned a lesson. Then he starts going off on politics again and now supporting Gina getting cancelled. Typical lefty.

[pest]

How about the "FACT" that she never "denigrated" anyone?

[stuartspencer]

For someone who held "paedo parties" as a joke, then being cancelled for his offensive nature, you think he would have a bit more empathy of the stress of losing your job due to a stupid mistake.

Well said Andy! Couldn’t agree more. Thanks for being willing to have the conversations.

James Gunn was ‘canceled’ because he was going around trying to cancel conservatives, so a few folks dragged up his bad tweets and called for him to be fired in response to his hypocrisy. Unlike Andy, Gunn seemed to get his job back without learning his lesson.

[KlockoFett]

That last post of Gina's that finally did her in was overwrought for sure. It also happens to be factually accurate. Tbh, I'm not sure how overwrought it even is. That started small and ended up with the death of millions. This is a situation that's starting small and we really don't know where it will eventually lead if it keeps going. A senator has already nonchalantly and not jokingly suggested drone strikes on domestic civilians.

If James has already forgotten what it’s like to be cancelled so that he has no backbone or compassion for someone else going through this, then I’d say he’s as warped as we thought after he was exposed for his past tweets. A person with a conscience would have reached out in consolation to Gina. What he did was confirm how shallow and debased he is, merely covering up his character with insincere apologies and excuses. He’s sleazy and he proved it.

A lot of big conservatives including Ben Shapiro who just hired Gina defended James Gunn when Disney fired him.

I remember back in the day being confused because the book said "Berenstain" but everyone called it "Berensteen".

[NorkelFjols]

Gunn should have:
A) Stood up for Gina on principle (the best choice, though maybe too ballsy to be expected)
B) Kept his mouth shut as a "former cancelled" with weird ass tweets (the "OK" and expected choice)
Instead he went for the third and worst option, even if they're just likes..

[Aa-obnd]

I think a lot less people would be angry if Disney and Hollywood in general weren't such hypocrite, the double standards are so so evident

[BishopWalters]

The hypocrisy and double standards is off the charts and Gina shouldn't have been fired but she should've known that being a conservative in that business makes you a target. I remember saying to a friend right before the election that Gina will get fired before season 3 starts filming.

[madmanwebster]

James was once a victim of cancel culture. Actually disappointing to see him jumping on the bandwagon and agreeing with her being fired unfairly. And here I was looking forward to his version of Suicide Squad and Guardians 3...

[KurtJohn]

The problem in Hollywood... They do not know their job. Making more provides more chances to screw up.

[tommyboi]

See i'd think out of everyone James Gunn would have defended Gina simply because:
A. He himself was once a victim of this.
And B. One of his closest and most dearest friends(being Chris Pratt) has also been a target of this hate mob.
Baffles my mind.

[theguest]

I agree with you. She was bullied for months did she get any help, not much!!! If she wasn't such a strong woman she would get more help. Society doesn't appreciate strong woman. They get put in their place. That's the truth. It's depressing. ☹️ 😎😷😎

[ThePowerBunny]

Andy, this video proves why you're one of the better movie youtubers out here, because you don't judge and you try to see things from all sides. I really hope you get to a million subs sooner rather than later.

[Michael-urqb]

I just don't know why he even inserted himself for this. And for the record what he did was worse than her making a comparison. I think people give him a pass.
