In the wake of Disney cutting ties with filmmaker James Gunn following their discovery of offensive tweets he made prior to his involvement with the studio, multiple collaborators have weighed in on the matter to show Gunn their support, including the man who helped launch his filmmaking career. Lloyd Kaufman, co-founder of Troma Studios, shared a video telling fans to boycott Disney for their hypocritical behavior. In a video recorded by Kaufman at San Diego Comic-Con, he calls Gunn the "nicest, most generous, talented, and decent person I’ve known in my 50 years of making movies.”
