I'm not certain the comparison is apt. One is a fictional character, the other isn't. Beyond that, what has Gunn done to be redeemed? He apologized and stopped making unsavory jokes. Is that it? If so, I'd say it's a statute of limitations thing more than redemption.
Perhaps if he'd been working with abuse victims or something people (who are actually upset) might be more receptive to redemption. I haven't heard of anything like that, though.
Supposedly he has been doing a lot to try and grow and learn from what he did and people close to him says he has - that he has shown he knows what he did back then, even if just for shock value, was wrong ... I think the issue, and why comparing it to when you see a redemption arc in a movie is problematic, is that most of us haven't seen his redemption or anything he did, because he already did it. We want to see the person fall and then follow all he/she does to rise back up and we haven't seen any of it, only been told it happened.
