The Realization That Lead to JAMES GUNN Getting GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 

That's what Favs and RDJ did for Iron Man as well. Iron Man was probably a B-lister though, so not as far to travel.

There was a very popular run in 2008, probably why it got a movie in the first place.

@@JustinLesamiz Iron Man was always C level. Some writers before were able to get great A-level stories but the character was always a C-List level. Just look at his armors and and the gadgets lol

@@holdingpattern245the extremists storyline of Ironman back then was huge.

Also dont forget in the 90's to avoid chapter 11 bankruptcy Marvel sold the film rights to Spidey, X-Men, FF etc. Guardians was very obscure and was seen as digging in their trash bin to see what they could possibly spin into gold.

Right?

just watch the full podcast

@@kntgaf I took your advice. I felt bad for him, talking about his reaction after the Disney firing, and honestly a little glad that I personally never was too interested in show business when he brought up how most people there are doing it to feel loved. It made me realize I’ve never not felt loved by my friends and family-not that I don’t have any problems of course, we all do, just that that was never really one of them. As a comics fan, I agreed with everything he talked about with their upcoming projects, which is encouraging since I’ve been nervous about the “outcasts and antiheroes” guy writing/directing an aspirational character like Superman. I liked what he said about the behind-the-scenes people being as important as the actors, and as a studio head I understand he’s probably contractually required to be only positive about their current releases, even though he didn’t have too much influence on their creation. But him casually calling The Flash “one of the greatest movies ever made” when talking about their cinematographer is still VERY concerning. After this past weekend’s 73% drop, “one of the biggest box office bombs” is more accurate.

And Jon Favreau on Ironman

then they hired 3 guys from rick & morty and gave us one disappointing mess after another, back to back to back.

​@@ianw0nglol

@@ianw0ng They need to go back to hiring guys who worked on Community instead of Rick and Morty.

Waititi I is lame af lol

Its a sign of a good interviewer asking something like what do you think about... then shutting the fuck up. rare now because these people want their voices heard in sound bites

No Hard Feelings and Astroid City both literally just released

Can’t believe no hard feelings cost 20 million more than asteroid city 😂

@@imanoldurango8213 That was probably Jennifer Lawrence’s pay check alone lol

I prefer he directs a Fantastic 4 movie.

I think it is that he realized that he wanted to "give a shit".

No wonder Insomnia sucked.

Gunn already had an established career and following before even working on a marvel movie.

@@tylerphillips6523 He didn’t. Fiege took a chance on low budget offbeat director and it payed off. Fiege made a career of doing this.

No we won't.

Yep. Each way.

Youve quoted three movie titans who see the death of blockbuster movies on the horizon doing everything they can to keep the cash flowing in.

Well, online critics have to be the dumbest people on planet Erath anyways. I'd rather listen to people who actually know their shit about movies than all those idiots out their with their different agendas that have not been able to give any movie a fair review at least once in their life. You said yourself you enjoyed that film. So don't let convince you by scumbags that you're wrong about it.

Online critics are the last people you should listen to.

Agree, i want to see what they saw and i think these guys values cinema too much to lie that much about there quality of a movie. I feel like they butchered the movie with more edits to fit some narrative

No.... He was talking about directors' movies BEFORE they signed to do a comic book movie. Maybe look up who directed Memento?

@@JustinLesamiz Oh right, I missed the comparison. I mean, obviously my question stemmed from me knowing who directed Memento, and that it wasn't James Gunn. Otherwise I would've asked "Did James Gunn direct Memento?"
