James Gunn positively eviscerates Peacemaker critic, and the people approve

December 2024 · 3 minute read

As a filmmaker that’s spent the majority of the last decade working almost exclusively for the two biggest comic book companies on the planet, James Gunn‘s social media feeds are constantly being blown up with questions, speculation, rumor, hearsay, innuendo, scuttlebutt, whispers, murmurings, and plenty more besides.

Thanks to his status as one of the most Twitter-happy filmmakers in the business, he’s also more than happy to log on and debunk far-fetched theories, shoot down unfounded casting news, and explain alleged inconsistencies in his output. However, polarizing insider Grace Randolph appears to have crossed the line, and she’s faced Gunn’s wrath as a result.

Anyone aware of Randolph and her work will know that she holds highly specific grudges that border on vendettas towards several high-profile talents, with Gunn ranking alongside Jessica Chastain, Margot Robbie, and Henry Cavill on her sh*t-list. As you can see below, though, the majority of Twitter users were praising the Guardians of the Galaxy architect for firing a return shot across the bows.

The earth revolves around the sun, mothers love their children, & Grace Randolph will spout bullshit.

Grace Randolph is a delusional witch who believes that just because she doesn't like James Gunn's movies and shows that nobody does. Fan culture is bullshit. Fan culture says that if you don't like something that means that nobody gets to like it. It's disturbing to believe that.

Grace Randolph vs. James Gunn is a celebrity death match I can get behind.

I still respect Grace Randolph, but her bias against James Gunn's #dceu work is weird. #Peacemaker was critically beloved and got good views compared to other HBO Max shows, but she swears that show didn't do well.

Counterpoint: if I’ve never watched a single Grace Randolph video, why does James Gunn even know her name? Lmfaoooo

This isn’t the first time Gunn and Randolph have butted heads online, either, with the latter arguing that Bane was set to make a surprise appearance in Peacemaker, despite the creator, writer, director, and executive producer of the HBO Max series making it perfectly clear that wasn’t the case.

Everyone loves a little Twitter drama every now and again, especially when it involves someone as visible and well-known among the geek community as Gunn, so it’s no surprise it blew up overnight.
