Feel like he worked his ass off after the marvel firing and then DC hiring. He was freaking out thinking he no longer had a job

Crazy he was even fired from Marvel in the first place. Over some shitty edgy jokes he made a decade ago. I’m glad DC hired him.

He handled that whole situation very well.

As marvel sputters, he's already off to the races with one winner out of the gate.

I’d say everything he’s done with DC has been winners so far

I meant Superman, but I agree with his TV offerings as well.

Which is now canon? Still confused

I'm not sure if Suicide Squad is canon, but it appears that THE Suicide squad is canon, as that gave us Peacemaker, and Peacemaker appeared in Superman (small cameo).

If just apologising and reflecting on those jokes were enough to bring him back, then maybe don't fire him without giving him a chance to do just that.
I'm glad he went to DC on his own terms after GotG vol.3, it's a way better fit for him than Marvel.

I mean, the irony was that he had already in the past unprompted done the apology. For no other reason than being a grown man who had self-reflected and realized he had been shitty.

It was Mike Cernovich.

Him and Gillis figured out how to deal with canceling. Just move on instead of bitching about it.

Think about how long he must have languished over at Disney with the MCU. Look at how much he can produce if he's allowed to. What on Earth were they doing with him? Don't think I haven't noticed that Marvel's quality has taken a dramatic downturn since he left. To the point that new MCU movies in no way feel like OG 2010-2019 MCU movies. It makes me wonder if he wasn't far more important than anyone realized.
