breonnick  - Any one notice the picture second from bottom is littrally animated over the backdrop of the sharama scene from the avengers they are referencing? 

Seeing how most of this was done after he finished his scenes/ the movie was done waiting to be released. I feel like you should judge more heavily on who will hire him on movies that are just starting production and all future productions. Like I dont have an issue that there not cutting him out of deadpool 2. I would have an issue if he comes back for 3 though.

Because you gotta remember not every production could have the freedom to do what the movie All the money in the world did to Kevin spacey. Be it money, Contracts/legal issues, or even time. That’s why I feel it’s better to judge on who keeps giveing him jobs here on out.

A few things.

Ready Player One absolutely had the budget to remove him and the original Deadpool was a massive success at the box office. It’s not some small indie nothing. They could have chosen to spend the money, if they thought TJ Miller’s inclusion would cost them ticket sales. That’s how this shit works. All the Money in the World was so costly in removing Spacey specifically because of contract negotiations -- and Ruffalo’s desire to capitalize on that -- and yet they still went through with it because of insistence from creatives and a desire for an Oscar season push. They felt it was worth the financial risk to preserve the dignity of their film and to do the right thing.

Of course, Fox knows their target demo will hand wave most of the things he was accused of, but hey, known unstable man has proven to be unstable enough to now face federal charges that could lead to up to five years in prison and look even worse leading right up to the film’s release. Maybe they should have taken care of their shit.

But you know, if they didn’t want to spend money to put safety precautions in place that could have potentially saved a woman’s life, I’m not entirely shocked that the film that is only generating mostly negative buzz out of SXSW and similar early screenings didn’t want to exert the effort to remove Miller even though they’ve gone back in for reshoots.

I guess they felt the money was better spent on meme based advertising.

Everyone has their own personal line with things and I’m not going to suggest people shouldn’t see this movie because of it. (I would suggest they consider skipping it because, again, a stunt woman died doing a stunt that people from the set claim they advised producers she wasn’t ready to do.) I don’t think anyone’s a bad person for seeing a movie. But I think it’s bullshit to try to give a massive company like 20th Century Fox a pass on what’s intended as a tent pole release.
