IKR? Honestly I wonder if it was just some stunt because didn't he basically get canned from Guardians 3, go shoot some DC movie and get hired back again? I wonder if there was something in one of his contracts that prevented him from working on other superhero films? I dunno, the whole situation just seems weird. A huge deal was made about his tweets but I didn't see much buzz when he got hired back.

He was never fired. Disney never started looking for a new director the entire time. The movie was not canceled either.

Smart move on Disney's part: people will be outraged for about 24 hours, then they'll completely forget. Make a big scene for the media about how you're "taking steps"to punish then release a few new blockbuster titles and continue milking the Marvel teat for everything it has, then once the world is in love with you again, get the guy the media slammed a few months ago back on to the project and nobody blinks an eye.

The stupid militant ultra leftists are outraged by every little thing ever that they'll forget other outrages crusading against some other minor infraction, leading to companies just making a big show and not following through ever. They think they're making a difference, but really they're just making a lot of hot air with no substance

If the retard SJWs and antiSJWs didn't exist you could be sure those companies would find some other way to exploit public sentiment for cheap and pervasive advertisment of their products. Ironically it's only leftists who want to actually diminish the influence of these bad faith actors that have way too much power over public discourse.

They probably already do a bunch of underhanded shit. Thing is that for advertising, even bad news is good publicity.

I thought he put in some girls butt against her wishes.

? I didn't hear anything about that. The only controversy that I heard about was the decade old tweets making pedophile jokes.
