Gunn returns for Guardians of the Galaxy 3...

He was fired a while back due to some "offensive tweets". Now Disney rehired him. This is rather odd. The comments in his tweets were "edgy comments" making jokes about touchy subjects.

It's a curious thing... Was it an honest decision by Disney in accepting Gunn's apology? Or, was it a pre-emptive measure to protect the MCU after the Lukewarm reception to Cap'n Meh Vel...
"But Nefty, it made a buttload of money!"



So did this... are you saying that THIS IS GOOD? And even the RT reviews, once you read them, many of the OBJECTIVE reviews give it a middle of the road average score. (I do specify objective reviews because the "OMG! I heart her!" Or the "SJW tripe" single sentence kind of reviews are not objective.
And with Guardians of the Galaxy being some of the most entertaining MCU movies (not the best, mind you); Disney may be trying to use the "oh look, shiny!"

Based on Box Office Mojo's numbers as of the writing of this rant: the Cap'n made $9,248,435 on Thu. 14... compared to the initial $61,715,051 on the first day. That's an 86% drop from the first day. It has had some up and downs, but an 86% drop is bad... yet common. The thing is, that BAD WORD OF MOUTH can scare off viewers (Ant-Man and the Wasp had that situation...) The focus on Endgame, and now this almost feels like they're trying to shove Cap'n Meh Vel in Goose's Flerken maw.

I also have to wonder if no one wanted to touch the project after Gunn was kicked out... Or if Gunn's stint with Warner on Suicide Squad 2 had the mouse a bit scared...
The true answer is:

Money, money, money...

Please don't suck!
