I was going to say the very low tech and still very MCU-influenced Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 turned out a lot better as well and had a lot of real banger DLC characters.

Never forget what Mittens Romney said at a fundraiser where he didn’t think he was being recorded:

And for what it’s worth, I’m not trying to complain about supposed “cancel culture” but merely pointing out the apparent hypocrisy of these situations.

I can't tell if they're willfully ignoring those parts or just don't consider them a big deal 

It’s interesting how you didn’t mention the workplace harassment claims against him

What the heck are you talking about? This man hasn’t been cancelled. He still has a job and is making more money than either of us ( unless you’re also a network executive).

He’s not getting fired, so I’m not sure what your beef is.  Seems like he’s getting plenty of opportunity to “change and grow” without losing his job, much less getting canceled “from all employment opportunities.”

What “cancelled” person has “lost all employment opportunities” unless they’ve gone to prison?

“Why won’t someone think of the shitty rich white men?” They’re doing fine, thanks, and ride the “oh, no, I’m cancelled” train all the way to a new audience and new jobs.

James Gunn made gross jokes on twitter, he never (to our knowledge) sexually harassed or discriminated against coworkers. Huge HUGE difference.

“but is being sleazy in a podcast 7+ years ago really worthy of cancelling this guy from all employment opportunities”

Per The Ringer article: he was fostering a toxic workplace in both Price is Right and Jeopardy (cited the example of firing a female employee for getting pregnant, another where he was sued and settled out of court), but he also rigged the process for him to get the hosting job. He selected what test audiences did and

You assume he changed from the age of 39.

“cancelling this guy from all employment opportunities?”

>> Unpopular opinion maybe, but is being sleazy in a podcast 7+ years ago really worthy of cancelling this guy from all employment opportunities?

The podcast is his second scandal. The matter of million dollar anti-discrimination lawsuits are what caused the increased scrutiny in the first place. They're mentioned in the very post you're commenting on.

You’re right. That is an unpopular opinion.

Your “it was a long time ago” excuse ignores the unethical manipulation of the host selection process as executive producer. On top of that, he has a history of sexual harassment and discrimination allegations. This pattern of abusing his power over the years disqualifies him from the executive producer role.

It’s not just the podcast stuff (although that’s what’s making the most headlines). He also took sketchy covid loans for his “consulting” business, was part of multiple lawsuits about creating a hostile and sexist work environment on Wheel of Fortune, oh yeah, and he asked his 2 female subordinates on his podcase if

for the best controller on the market*

And ? They’re very nice and feel great to use.
