1. I hope it goes without saying that I love and support my brother James. And I'm quite proud of how kind, generous, and compassionate he is with the people in his life, whether they are friends, family, colleagues, fans, or strangers.

4. I saw firsthand as he went from worrying about "softening his edge" for a larger audience to realizing that his "edge" wasn't as useful of a tool as he thought it was. That his gift for storytelling was something better.

5. I saw that he was more open-hearted than the guy who needed to get a rise out of people by making nasty or offensive jokes (or whatever you choose to call them--I don't think his bluer material was ever his funniest and neither does Mom).

6. In many respects this change in my brother was reflected in the change that the Guardians go through. I've heard my brother say many times that when Quill rallies the team with "this is our chance to give a shit"--to care--that it's the pep talk he himself needed to hear.

7. It's part of what made working on the Guardians movies such a rewarding experience for the cast, myself included. We managed to find ourselves involved in a big-budget superhero movie that was, at its core, deeply personal. That's a gift. And that's why it's good.

8. This isn't new information, by the way. It's all stuff that James has explained many times in interviews, in more detail and more eloquently. It's not some new spin. It's always been part of the story.

9. So I guess my hope is that fans continue to watch and appreciate the Guardians movies, not despite the fact that the filmmaker used to be kind of a jackass, but because of it. They are, after all, movies about discovering your best self.

10. Working on those movies made my brother a better person, and they made me one too. I'm proud of that. Peace.

He didn’t become a better person, he just ‘learned’ how to keep his mouth shut. Especially with that much money involved with the Marvel franchise.

Are you the same person as you were 8 years ago? Have you not grown and learned new things? Have you not made regrettable decisions that have comeback to haunt you?

This is McCarthyism.Shame on
@Disney for ripping the heart out of GOTG in response to propaganda released by the same alt-right operative that brought on Pizza Gate. GOTG is my favorite in the MCU, but I'll wait for HBO#BoycottGOTG3#GunnIsGroot#BoycottDisney#BoycottGuardians3Thanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
