Here’s the real secret: Don’t let anything you’re going to regret later get entered into the public record..Here's the secret. Don't Twitter. Ever..
But they still have a revisionist version ride about it.My grandma and her friends took me and my brother to see Song of the South in theaters when we were little. I must have been in kindergarten. No way that could happen now.

I think it'd be more than a bit unfair to rest of the cast and crew of the next Avengers movie, as well as the crew of the next GotG, for them to pull that kind of stunt. They'd literally be stealing money out of the mouths of thousands of people that do CG, not to mention all the camera crew, costumers, make-up artists, etc...The platitudes are nice but if they truly meant it they'd say he comes back or we're all out.
It'd be career suicide but if they really meant what they're saying up there they'd do more than sign a letter.
So what does Pat Robertson have on Disney? By the Gunn standards, they could have dropped the 700 Club off of whatever ABC Family is called now, but they haven't.You don't want to take on Disney's lawyers.
Let's skip all the political BS (such as you using a "but her emails!" argument to defend Gunn, or trying to figure out how metoo-->gunn correlates to metoo-->robertson, and how the court of public opinion would weigh for or against either) and just state that they probably would have years ago, except for "As of 2005, The 700 Club airs on Freeform thrice daily, part of a contractual obligation originally made as part of the Family Channel's sale to News Corporation" (emphasis added, source).So what does Pat Robertson have on Disney?

I'm not here to defend or bury Gunn. But with all the crap Robertson has spouted over the decades, you'd think someone the size of Disney would have the power or money to tear up the deal or even settle in order to get that garbage off the air.Let's skip all the political BS (such as you using a "but her emails!" argument to defend Gunn, or trying to figure out how metoo-->gunn correlates to metoo-->robertson, and how the court of public opinion would weigh for or against either) and just state that they probably would have years ago, except for "As of 2005, The 700 Club airs on Freeform thrice daily, part of a contractual obligation originally made as part of the Family Channel's sale to News Corporation" (emphasis added, source).

Plenty of people actually did complain about this.I don't see anyone complaining at how the GoTG characters were directed in Avengers Inifinity War.
I think that was actually written into the contract way back when the channel was first sold, the 700 Club has to stay on it.So what does Pat Robertson have on Disney? By the Gunn standards, they could have dropped the 700 Club off of whatever ABC Family is called now, but they haven't.

Yeah I said as much though may have edited it in as you were replying to me as I did so after my initial.I think it'd be more than a bit unfair to rest of the cast and crew of the next Avengers movie, as well as the crew of the next GotG, for them to pull that kind of stunt.

No, you’re actually wrong. They’ve discussed it at length with the press, and they have determined without a doubt they will not be hiring Gunn back on despite everyone who works are Marvel Studios practically begging them to reconsider.That the movie is on hiatus is actually a pretty strong suggestion that they are thinking about bringing James Gunn back. They just need to work out how to do it correctly so it doesn't make some Disney Exec's penis doesn't look small.
Yes, that's what this is really about; with Iger going to retire soon, EVERYONE is fighting amongst themselves to show they can handle the job. The person who made the James Gunn decision can't back track on this publicly or they'd be out of the running. And now they got FOX executives in the mix too...
