Yeah, I still 100% believe in Gunn as a director. He knows the stuff and can make it work. I agree with a lot of your other assessment too. Unfortunately as the head of the DC EU for whoever owns it now.. To have been this delayed after teasing in Superman and still being as rough as it was. It makes sense Gunn et all stepping down. The question is, did the studio ask? (that would be a mistake) Or did they chose to as a vote of no confidence in the studio or it's owners.
Based on Gunn's statement , it seems amicable.
Reportedly Gunn/Safran reported directly to Ellison post merge. Publicly Ellison said "Keep doing what you're doing". I'm guessing the rest of that statement is "...but we need more." Gunn/Safran and new head Jeremy Latcham have worked together before (on the first Guardians film).
It's entirely possible Gunn/Safran said they want to make films, put Latcham in charge, but that's pure speculation on my part.
