Your view helps the part of my soul that is attached to Gambit. LOL Gambit isn't being hurt but he's treated as a nobody. That is hard to take for me sometimes. I do agree, he isn't being harmed in characterization because he gets none. Using his powers isn't enough to sustain the Gambit only fan.
My salty attitude rolling in. You've been warned. Ignore it if it bothers you, don't let it trigger you and keep in mind, its just one opinion, though I know I am not alone in such opinion. I'm just more blunt about it than others. I don't have Remydat's finesse. Not directed at anyone either, just a pov.
It is KT's fault and too much focus on Rogue that is the demise of the book. Nobody wants to read that much 'nowhere' characterization on any character. What I mean by nowhere ... the power issue has been an issue for the character for 38 years (as of 2019), when is it over, and how is it not old by now. IMO.
KT is a typical hard core romy stan (fan but if your are more intense about it, its stan - young people and their whatevers). Just like those hardcore romys, they don't care about Gambit. As long as he is with Rogue, thats it. She proves it with her writing. Action sequences and propping Rogue up is all that is needed because "he wuvs her soooo much". I've read better romance novels than this stuff.
I've never disliked a relationship more than this one and the stans don't make it easy when they don't or won't defend Gambit. Or recognize that Rogue has faults too. It's one-sided in all areas. Yes, there are exceptions and we know who they are or recognize them when they post, wished there were more of them.
Gambit may be going into limbo but the character that should be in limbo and stay for a few years is Rogue.
Re: Captain Marvel, in Feb 2019 11k. She doesn't sell well, and has never done well for the most part, but gets a reboot all the time. And is getting another one.
