Are you sure that's not a group? Like A flock of Seagulls? 🤔
You may be right.

I'm not trying to make excuses for the things he said.

I'm just saying i'll still watch his movies. I was a fan before all this came out, and a few dumb rants isn't enough for me to completely turn him off.

Yeah a lot of anti-semetic shit and again saying "I hope you get raped by a pack of wild niggers" aren't "a few dumb rants"

At all
 
I find it hard to believe he hasn't apologized for that call. All i could find him saying:

Gibson said the tapes of phone calls leaked a year ago were edited, adding; "It's one terribly, awful moment in time, said to one person, in the span of one day and doesn't represent what I truly believe or how I've treated people my entire life."

Seriously couldn't stick a sorry in there.

Hacksaw Ridge was the best movie i saw last year, not gonna lie i still do want to see him do an ensemble action movie. Maybe the pressure of doing a blockbuster movie finally gets him to start making amends.
 
Didn't he completely obliterate the genre ? Guess money and a shot to direct a blockbuster film can make a man go back on his words.

...but that's exactly what you did and proceeded to do again in this exact same post?!?!?
 
That'd actually make a great name for an all-black punk band.

Shit'll make you sell your mama..
 
I don't think people that are okay with this want to marry the guy or be his friends, they want to see his movies

I think the idea is that many don't want to support scumbag POS human being and let others in this world know that it's okay to be racist/sexist/homophobic POS because he'll still get good job anyway! No repercussions at all.
 
Moral of the story is, if you don't want to offend people, it's probably best not to insult and generalize said group of people. There are bad people everywhere, in every group.
Also don't double down on that behaviour while batting for the side that has an unrepentant racist on it.

How was I batting for his side again?

like how did you get THAT from what I said?

EDIT: and in the future I will not denigrate racist fucking asshole comic book fans. Got it. Sorry you were offended.
 
I get that you can't read and I'm sorry for you.
Yes. I can't read, and am clearly in the wrong here, despite the fact that out of the two of us, my comments aren't the problematic, questionable ones that others are concerned about.
Yes
I am the one in the wrong.

I've already used racist, dumb, and ignorant to describe Mel's rants in this thread.

Eh..

Or I can separate the art from their beliefs. Or in some cases, just really ignorant things they've said in the past or in private. Every other old white person out there has said or thought some really racist shit.

Isn't Perlmutter a big Trump guy? Should you guys stop supporting Marvel now?

I guess? I don't see it? But yeah, who fucking cares? Watch what you want..who's gonna stop you? My point remains, it was a racist rant..not ignorant. A dumb rant is saying cheese covered broccoli is better than a bag of money. A racist one tends to start or end with the letters nigger..alls I'm saying.
 
And what exactly is this supposed to mean?
DC fans are all racist and sexist, because some people online with Batman avatars say racist and sexist things, didn't you know?

Couldn't possibly be that I'm being over dramatic and generalizing a large group of people because reasons.

I'm not in the wrong
You're wrong!
Wrong and dumb!

I never said all. I never meant all. That would be impossible.
 
At some point it feels like DC is going for some sort of Uwe Boll type tax scam but not failing well enough.

"We're making bad movies but people keep coming to see them. How do make them less marketable?"
 
If we're playing the game of excluding Gibson's racial rants......he is a fantastic director and this is below him. If he were to do it...chances are it might turn out pretty good, but a lot of people wouldn't give it the time of day given his racist beliefs.
