Comment on Jonathan Majors ‘Heartbroken’ Over Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom Replacing Kang in Next ‘Avengers’ Films; He’d Still Return to MCU ‘If That’s What Marvel Wants’

Majors said about how Downey was afforded a comeback despite legal troubles. “I didn’t really get that.”

I wanted to make a shitty joke about how it’s been a year since Majors hit his girlfriend, and how RDJ went to rehab and spent … what, 8-13 years being a pariah?
Elapsed notwithstanding, RDJ is an addict and while a lot of things around addiction are choices, being addicted is not a choice. Majors committed domestic violence. Full stop. I have no idea why, but the signs point to him being capable of controlling himself and choosing not to in this situation.
RDJ went to rehab, and worked hard to reclaim the prestige he’s earned. Majors is whining in a magazine after showing no remorse for his actions.

Also, seriously, Variety?

In Majors’ trial verdict, Majors was also found not guilty of one count of intentional assault in the third degree and one count of aggravated harassment in the second degree.

He was found guilty and narrowly avoided jail. Also RDJ is not appearing in an upcoming 2017 movie unless there are some exciting developments in time travel I’ve previously been unaware of.
