Title: Gambit Watch
Post by: Nekobaghira on July 09, 2015, 09:32:25 PM
We know he'll be the Collector in Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde -

While I know we had complied some stuff - he wasn't really listed in much.  And since I've snafu'd .. doing the best I can with appearances.

Hold up... that might not be Gambit. Just because he looks like Gambit, dresses like Gambit, talks like Gambit, says he's Gambit, doesnt mean he's Gambit... could be some completely original character from China studying under Cosmic Daredevil.

Post by: Nekobaghira on July 13, 2015, 01:58:47 PM
heh heh, well it could be some guy from china without a green card to be in the states to study under Daredevil, but .... we do know that the writer did confirm it is Gambit.  LOL

I think this time ... we are okay.  July 22nd is when Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde #1 will be out.

Can you believe it, they're giving Squirrel Girl a new #1.  The book is at cut off or lower and she gets another shot.  *sigh*

I didnt like how he said Gambit's powers were "to charge objects with kinetic energy and throw them"... Throwing things has nothing to do with his powers. It's like saying Wolverine has the mutant ability of stabbing.

Wolverine is suspiciously good at stabbing, it makes sense. Maybe we should take a closer look at his powers.

This guy was so obnoxious--"Yeah, we looked up how it's pronounced, but we picked the one we liked, even though it's probably wrong." And he kept saying it, like he knew it was annoying. Hey guy--people who say it as lebue are f-ing morons.

Interestingly, he does better with "Boudreaux"--not much, but he's somehow fine with pronouncing the "eaux" sound THERE. That's as far as I got with it before closing the tab.

the are all alternate reality Gambits, everyone in the 616 died with the exception of a few Heroes and Villains, Spiderman Iron Man Thanos, Namor, Black Swan two of Thanos's warriors, Black Panter, Reed Richards, Black Bolts Brother, Cyclops and Emma Frost maybe Beast were the only X-Men to survive...well one of them has been killed off since

What are the rule for plot spoilers on this thread?

The rules are to use spoiler tags. When making your post you can either click on the question mark icon which is the spoiler tag or type [ spoiler] spoilers in between [ /spoiler] and that will work too.  Only without the space.

This thread is really to find out where Gambit is or what he is in.

ssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh its not a reboot like the new 52, but it is, but its not, it totally is, but its totally not, basically they are getting rid of the multiverse it would seem and its all just a vehicle to get Miles Moralis (however its spelled) over to the 616 because that's all that will be left, with popular character from other universes in the new 616 like Old Man Logan

You guys are terrible. Her boobs are fine. Her boobs got buffed in 2007. She got the nickname "Boobilee" back then. You guys really need to keep up with non-Gambit characters better. What's next, you'll be shocked to learn she turned 18 for real this time in 2011 even though Gambit was in the issue?  :P

Oh the days when Gambit was badass.  While I think it was a very favorable outcome for Gambit, I do think the big factor here besides the full deck is that Gladiator's powers depend on his self-confidence and his being mind controlled by Xavier probably means he is not at peak power as well as he underestimates Gambit and isn't prepared for his attack.

A fan asked about whether Gambit would show up in ANAD Marvel. Brevoort said someone on the panel was writing Gambit, and he would show up soon.

panelists Nick Spencer, Gerry Duggan, Marguerite Bennett, Al Ewing, Frank Tieri, Greg Pak, and Josh Williamson

I hope that doesn't mean Sims/Bower and that is actually someone else on the panel.  I don't know who was at the panel.  But I would like a different Gambit than the TV persona in XMen '92.

edit after Mytogma's edit:
Thanks Mythogma for your updated post.  That means allot to me, I don't want to be stuck with Xmen '92 for my Gambit fix.

Agreed, he doesn't need to be a prop to Rogue. And I don't want that either.  I want him to have role that is good for him even if its a small role, and unique to him without losing his identity to another character.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: mythogma on October 09, 2015, 04:35:42 PM
 I can't see him being in any other book written by anyone on the panel other then Uncanny Avengers. Unless there is a book I can't think off right now. With are luck Gambit dies from the T mist and Rogue has to continue fighting on despite her loss and prove she can be a hero and defend the Inhumans or something stupid like that.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: bigstupidjellyfish on October 09, 2015, 04:55:26 PM
It's either Duggan and Uncanny Avengers or Pak has an unannounced book that will be announced soon. It definitely isn't Tieri, he hates Gambit. I wish it was Ewing or Spencer though.

UNCANNY AVENGERS #3
GERRY DUGGAN (W) • RYAN STEGMAN (A/C)
Variant cover by Tradd Moore
MARVEL ‘92 VARIANT BY WHILCE PORTACIO
• The Avengers close in on the new Inhuman that’s destroying Boston.
• The Torch wishes he paid better attention in science class, and an Avenger has a secret that may undo the team before it begins!
• Plus -- the surprising final member of this series makes a grand and bloody entrance.

I do not want Gambit to be an Avenger but at the same time I would love him to join UA.

I was waiting a long time for Gambit and Deadpool story.

Gambit had stories with QS, Rogue, Voodoo, Deadpool (was hired to kill). All this history could work really good for him. Also Duggan is really good writer.

If he will be written good in UA then I will be happy.

Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: bigstupidjellyfish on October 09, 2015, 09:24:52 PM
If Duggan avoids the romance and writes them as teammates/friends, I will cry tears of joy. Gambit being an Avenger has been something I've wanted to see for a while now (also something I wanted to do once I started writing comics). My friends and I would make lists about who should be Avengers and Gambit was always at the top.

Also, think about it. This team already has Quicksilver, Steve Rogers, Spider-Man, Rogue, and Human Torch. Them's some big names. Haven't we all wanted Gambit to be more involved and start interacting with some bigger names for a while now?
Title: Re: Gambit Watch

Also Gambit joining UA could work as continuation of sub plot from his solo when Rogue asked him to join team.

As long as he's not a prop for sympathy while Rogue is in a hospital bed. I can deal with the Avengers thing.  I don't want to go backwards to the days of XML.  Gambit needs to be his own character.

So wait wait wait wait wait, these are the normal earth characters again?  Sorry I know I keep asking what's going on but I'm not really reading anything right now.  Saw this comment on another forum:

Quote
For those asking " didn't Deadpool die" the answer is quite simple, everyone died ..... well exept the very few that escaped when the two earths collided. The eath is back due to the events of Secret Wars so everyone who died in the catastrophe are back, simple.
A cosmic event seems to be the only way to kill Deadpool.

So, if Gambit does join this team then it's....normal Gambit?  Alternate earth Gambit but the same as normal Gambit?  New Gambit?

I don't see why everyone is jumping to the conclusion that Gambit will be joining UA. That solicit doesn't reference Gambit in any way. I'd say it had more to do with Pete Wisdom, assuming they were using "bloody" as Brits use it and not referring to actual blood. Then I'd say it might be Moon Knight or maybe... well I don't really care past that point.

They said Gambit will be have a major role in a non X-Men book. That's great, and not so great. IMO of course. Great, because Gambit finally gets out from underneath the sinking X-Men brand that barely utilized him when they had exclusive control. Not so great is the fact that hes got a film on the horizon. Major role can easily translate to "tragic death".

Then I'd say it might be Moon Knight or maybe... well I don't really care past that point.

In that case it would've needed to read "a bloody grand entrance", otherwise they're just saying "a grand and very entrance". 

Original 616 Gambit every one else seems to be back who "died"at the beginning of SW

So what you're trying to tell me is that a major Marvel event that was supposed to change everything didn't really change much at all?  That's new  :P

GERRY DUGGAN (W) • RYAN STEGMAN (A/C)

Variant cover by Tradd Moore

MARVEL ‘92 VARIANT BY WHILCE PORTACIO

• The Avengers close in on the new Inhuman that’s destroying Boston.

• The Torch wishes he paid better attention in science class, and an Avenger has a secret that may undo the team before it begins!

Plus -- the surprising final member of this series makes a grand and bloody entrance.

i think thats where they are getting their conclusion from, the bloody means blood and is not a referance to Pete Wisdom as he is leading a different Avengers team, unless he will appear on both teams, i dont think its Gambit though i have a feeling its either New Wolverine or Old Man Logan

I thought the same, but I refrained from voicing it due to the fact both of them are already slated for 2 books each outside of this.

or its Sabertooth  :o im thinking its one of those 3 anyone from the Weapon X Program/ a Wolverine plotpoint seems to be able to appear in multiple titles, the Wolverine that died at one point was on 3 x teams an avengers team and a solo, so All new Wolverine and OML could be in a third book and Sabes could be in a second
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: purplevit on October 11, 2015, 01:47:52 PM
Nah, it is not Sabertooth. The idea is for team not to like Deadpool on this team so Sabertooth will steal all that hate.


I just hope Gambit won`t join Inhumans :-\

Maybe something with 2099 world, Alchemax, Serval and SM 2099?

Post by: anya on October 11, 2015, 03:22:14 PM
No the solicit doesn't imply gambit ( I personal think cable, sorta bloody character and reunite with deadpool). The thing everyone is going off of is I think one of the panels where someone asked where's gambit, the response was he's showing up, someone on this panel is writing him. Duggan's was one of the panel there and the other were completely random. So uncanny avengers is the most 'logical' but marvel's never been constrained by logic before... so it's either UA or completed random title. Either one is possibly.

I didnt like the tone of voice and body language. The "X-Men fans will continue to be unhappy" joke didnt sit well with me, as if we cant be satisfied because we as nearly a whole have disagree with the vast majority of stories that have been published in the last 5-8 years, with small exceptions. But the whole panel itself seemed lifeless and lacking of joy. Kind of a Marshawn Lynch approach of "I'm just here so I don't get fined" kind of feel. Google it, if you don't get what I'm talking about.

But it is true though, some fans have already decided that the story is going to suck and refuse to even consider that it might be good. It is unfair to everyone who is involved in the process like the writers, artists, and yes even the publisher and the editors. But marvel knows this now and are not afraid to bring it up, if some consumers can constant bring up how bad is going to be in every forum and everywhere else then talk about it then sorry they have a right to bring it up as well and even make a joke about it. About the panel itself come on they have been there since the comic con started dealing with panel after panel and thousands of fans you expect them to be alert and not a little bit tired. Sorry but to me that is a little unfair. That is just my opinion though.

And its not just panel after panel either.  They spend time on "flloor" to sign things and talk with fans.  An exhibition hall type setting.  Plus whatever else is expected of them.  It's not just showing up for an hour and leaving. These things get crazy and its hard for those who are guests to be featured at the event to even leave the building for downtime.

Sadly that seems to be the new way to get sales in comics nowadays. Piss your fanbase off. I don't get it most (or all) of the time but that's why I pretty much don't buy anything right now especially from Marvel or DC. Just go for shock value and 'EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE' all the time. Why should anyone care? Sadly I try not to anymore even though I clearly do cause I'm still here checking on Gambit and naively hoping maybe they'll get it right sometime soon.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Nekobaghira on October 12, 2015, 05:17:42 PM
Good point Albahan888.

Look at the Iceman thing.  There is an attitude at Marvel that they piss people off all the time, its just the way it is, its not to be malicious or anything. (I can find you a link, while it was an okay to publish convo but not for here. That is I won't assume for here but I can point it to you.)

The hot spots/issues get them sales, get people talking about their product and they need that to get more sales. I have to see this/buy this type of thing. They want people buying their books and they're doing anything they can to achieve that.

I am not buying into the possibility of death in the major role story for Gambit. They kill Gambit off, it makes things easy for me monetarily.  

It really has become very episodic when it comes to comic books.  The long term stories don't mean much and can be easily changed. IMO

It comes with the territory. I'm supposed to give them a pass on a poor attitude because they might be sick of trying to sell me on their products? Having to be on the floor and answer questions is part of being a creator, with only a few exceptions (writers like PAD, Bendis and CC do press and appearances but have garnered enough influence that its unlikely they'll be as pressured).

So when Neko got a poor response from that creator once, we should give him a break because he got asked the question or questions like it before. Cmon now. They're paid to sell books. Answering to the public is part of a convention... It's like 90% of the purpose of a convention.

As for not liking something before it comes out... If its an issue, stop putting out solicits months in advance with book synopsis. It's our right as consumers to pass judgement on something that's presented to us. Microsoft learned that the hard way with the Xbox One. That thing lost thousands or millions of potential sales months before it even debuted thanks to poor press, and lack luster advanced presentations. People got fired because of the botched launch.

We are not mandated to like something because of past track record. This is an editorial/executive issue. They OKed all of this as a whole. If they put out press and get push back on almost all of it, then its not the creators faults, they got the ok and direction to go in that direction. The whole line is moving in a specific direction, a loy of people don't like the ideas presented to them by Marvel. These guys are in a tough spot. They didn't come up with this status quo. They aren't decimating the mutants, responsible for killing 616 Wolverine and replacing him with OML and a female clone. The O5 were there far before any these guys. These guys aren't responsible for ignoring and/or relocating some the X-Men's most popular characters (pretty sure this might upset a few people). I don't envy their uphill battle. But first impressions are everything in any market of commerce.

Honestly again I am not into the complex, I just can't get behind it or even care for it myself. I will judge the books based on the books itself not a solicit(half the time there wrong) I want to give the book and the new writers a shot before I pass judgement on there work. They are aloud to have a chance, everyone deserves one no matter what. You and a lot of the other complexers have your mind set and nothing will change your mind, even if the stories are great I doubt any of you will like them. Once again about the comic-con people are human and humans can and are aloud to get tired and even have a bad moment. I am not one to expect writers and artists to be lively all the time especially after dealing with what they have to deal with at a comic con. Once again I have my opinion and you have yours and I really doubt we will change are minds so before this gets out of hand I am stepping back.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on October 13, 2015, 01:44:06 PM
Ummm... Not the argumentative type, I like discussion, debate, open conversation; this doesn't get personal for me, but the complex? What does this have to do with complex? Doesn't that involve Marvel trying to erase the X-Men? I don't believe that's the case, they make up too much of their annual comic sales. It's foolish. If your talking about my point of the changes in status quo, well those aren't speculations, its actually slated to occur. There's no mind changing going in here, just my opinion of how business in a free market should occur.

But like I said, I'm not saying the upcoming books are going to suck. But me and a lot of folk on this board aren't too interested in what's being offered. Don't trust the solicits, ok they aren't 100% accurate all the time, but are still put out by the company that makes them. How true they are is up to them. Cons and Panels are their place to straighten out misinformation, but instead it was lifeless and cryptic. Besides the solicits, remember the little mini previews that were "leaked" months ago with each new book's cover art (Remember when everyone thought Gambit was going to be de-aged and attached Daredevil?) with bylines? Most of the times trailers and photos are leaked its just the companies trying to gauge interest. Maybe that was the case this time, maybe not. They can't get upset over fan opinion on something they gave to the fans to have an opinion on.

Im not a "complexer" though the thread can be entertaining to pop in on and stir the pot (I do this... Like playing with ants) ;) . But to each, their own.

At the end of the day, Marvel is under no obligation to be happy happy joy joy with fans and there is certainly a subset of fans that seem entitled and think that Marvel needs to cater to them.  The fact is comics are no longer Marvel's meal ticket so if they don't want to play nice with fans, they don't have to.  Just as you don't have to buy their comics.  Whether you think it's good business or not is irrelevant really.  Until such time that Marvel's alleged attitude to fans impacts their bottom line signifcantly, they have no incentive to play nice.

Well seeing readership drops every year despite their attempts to bolster them, I guess fan reaction/ interaction is as much a factor in their sales as any... Outside of the amount of readers  vs cost of the average book leveraged against general interest. But what you are saying is true, they aren't obligated to play nice or interact with fans, or even provide information about their products, but it definitely is counter productive when attending a fan/press reliant event. If they have no interest in being there why not just do as they've several times this year and not have X-Men panel? Well they have one because one would assume they want the press and perhaps even goodwill in hopes you spend your money. NYCC is one of the biggest conventions and most Marvel centric events of the year, next to D3 now. Not saying this was some kind of disaster PR move, or even all that bad, just not the most enthusiastic of showings.

But again, your right. Comics aren't their biggest seller anymore. They'd move on just fine without it or our poultry dollars. So, question is, despite the pessimism, why are we still here?

They attend these events because it's expected.  But other than that, they are pretty much just going through the motions.  Seems pretty obvious to me, they are not hugely invested in the idea of marketing this stuff aggressively to fans and they will do just enough to basically get a C-.

We pray attend in vague hopes that Marvel will acquire an editor in chief that cares about production values, and pandering to the fans to fill the idea of a proper business model. Bob Harris may have been an ass, but he was an ass that knew how to run a business. He kept his authors in a row, and crossed his t s', and dotted his i s'. He paid attention to demand, and the whims of the fans. And this was before the internet. So he actually worked at finding out what the fans wanted. Ever since Joe Quesada took over, it's just been downhill for Marvel. Between having to go bankrupt at trying to have their own distributing company, to being a fanboy that wants authors to focus on the characters he likes, and hiring authors that are yes men. And dismissing anyone that steps a toe out of line, or suggests a different angle. Quesada is an egomanic of what he wants. Harris was and egomaniac of proper business, and catering to the masses, and making his authors accountable to keeping their stories and characters straight.

Honestly, I think it's too late. And I don't know if Disney cares... But Quesada needs to go so that a proper business oriented editor in chief can come in that cares about figures based on fans.

While the medium of comics may be slowly being whittled away story telling isn't :). Disney and Marvel still have excellent opportunities to translate X-men into other mediums while still giving the core comic experience TAS, EVO, WATX and the movies heck digital distribution prove that. The x-men and what they represent is timeless I'm going to be sure I pass them on in some form to my children and ensure it goes at least another generation :). While I hope comics are around for much Longer than that I kind of believe the X-men will outlive the format and their stories will continue on well after.

Speaking of such things imagine re-living your favorite x-men tales in a VR world I am excited for the future of story telling :).

Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on October 15, 2015, 08:24:09 AM
It's part of The Secret Wars crossover event. Each comic is its own self contained world.created by Doom. Most worlds have doppelgangers of characters in all the other worlds, which is why you'll see different versions of Gambit, Captain Marvel, Spider Man etc in each world. A-Force is a book about a world called Arcadia currently led by that worlds version of She Hulk, A-Force is the name of the all women hero team that protects the realm. Like X-Men 92, it's going to become an ongoing Avenger's book following Secret Wars end, but like it, will be a main universe series.

However, Jun 19th is an odd date to choose.  Gambit's first appearance was August 15th 1990 - that was the release date of UXM #266.  

Actually August 1990 was just the cover date for the comic- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_date

The actual release date for a comic is usually two or three months(depends on the year released) earlier than the cover date.  Uncanny X-Men 266 really came out in June.

Thanks Thjan for the info.  All good with the date, on places to buy the book its always listed as Aug.  I went with it.  Either way - glad we didn't totally miss it.  

Maybe we got busy this year.  I know this past summer was very busy for me with all sorts of home projects.

Anyway- like I said, we can still celebrate!

Shame on Marvel for not making it a bigger deal. And yeah, we don't usually miss much.  Not sure why it was missed.  Stuff happens.  ;D

Not just us, Marvel didn't care either and look at 2015 in general for Gambit.  Not a very good showing for his 25th year. Killed off in several SW books - and tbh MODOK didn't need to kill Gambit and that would have been okay appearance, Xmen '92 his TV show persona is a parody of him, and Gambit the Collector. 

I don't recall Marvel actually doing anything for any character other than Wolverine or Spider-Man when it comes to highlighting their number of years in comic book existence.

No they dont seem to ill check the old issues when im home see if something shows they might do, in Gambit issue 13 when back in the past the guild are meditating in an attic or something but there are banners with weird symbols which are also painted on their bodys, also the Guild have diamond symbols on their foreheads like  Sinister...interesting , also in some other issues when Gambit is shown sitting on the throne there are red banners hanging on the wall with a kinda flaming bird type thing

Gambit will be re-accurring on Ucanny Avengers; he and Rogue will be an on-again/off-again couple but Gambit will decline being tied to the team full-time.

Also, the big resurrection in Uncanny Avengers? It's Morph. He'll have his 90s X-Men costume though as Marvel plans on exploiting the 90s era nostalgia with him on the team.

Cable, Deadpool and Gambit is awesome. But we need to count also Old Cap, Rogue, Inhuman girl, Torch, Voodoo, Quicksilver and maybe Spider-Man. 10 characters in 1 book. It need to be a weekly book so everyone will get some time to shine ;D

There is too many characters. Which is why I'm limiting my purchase - Old Cap, Rogue, Inhuman Girl, Torch and Voodoo do nada for me in this book.  :)

Gambit will be support I would suspect. Which means very little time to shine unless the writer takes a shine to him.

Not sure how Deadpool is handled and Cable being added may get some spotlight right away.

It would never happen but it would be great to see Cable and Gambit talk about all that happened during MC between them and Hope even if it is as simply as Gambit asking how Hope is doing.  It always seemed odd to me that after MC, no one really brought up the role Gambit played in saving her from Bishop and ultimately giving her to Xavier.

Meh... I think we're reading too much into that statement. Maybe I'm jaded by recent history of how Marvel handles him but I'm not convinced he's going to be on the roster. I know Cable will be, but theres nothing saying that Gambit will remain longer than one issue... I could be wrong, but I'm just not sold on the idea from that 5 word so statement. Cable and Gambit are in the book... yes. But only Cable has been confirmed as having an ongoing roster spot.

pretty sure the discussion for Gambit being on the team went like this, PTB 1: hey what about Gambit, Limbo? PTB2 : no he has a movie coming out we better put him somewhere, keep the fans happy. PTB 3 : we could make him an avenger it'd piss fox off. PTB 1: oh i like that but um lets not make him an Avenger we dont want people to think we like Gambit. PTB 4: he can guest star and we will tell people he has a big roll and we planed it from the outset.

Cable's not the only headlining ex-X-Man appearing in future issues of "Uncanny Avengers," as Jiraiya noticed. We'll close out part one with a couple Gambit questions.

I wanted to ask about that powder keg cover you dropped on us for "Uncanny Avengers" #5. A lot was done in the past to split these two [Rogue and Gambit] by [Mike] Carey and later [James] Asmus to the point where they could easily not cross paths again. What inspired you to bring Gambit back into the mix with Rogue? ... Will you be leaving their attraction out of the story or are we going to get more on and off angst again?

Duggan: What a great cover, right? I'd like to let that one speak for itself. Let's talk afterward.

Gambit has been used a lot as a prop/plot device in other story lines. Is his character likely to get any development here or will this be more of him making a smash and grab appearance to set the tone for the story?

Duggan: Unfortunately, I'm going to take the fifth, but you will have trust me that I would bring the same A-game to any character. My philosophy is pretty simple: I can't write a story that would make you lose interest in your favorite character, but I know I might not get any second chances with readers. Even the thinnest of characters can always be fleshed out. Not calling Gambit thin at all -- just saying, any of these characters can be cool. I know expectations are high for this issue, but I'd rather readers come in cold. I can promise that "Uncanny Avengers" # 5 is an important event that will reverberate into the future of this book.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on November 24, 2015, 06:37:16 PM
...he dodged both questions. I think he just confirmed my thoughts of this being a one issue/arc thing. I don't think he or his editors thought Gambit's possible inclusion would foster this much interest, just as they didn't think his solo would make it past 12 (I'm pretty sure if they did plan it out Gambit's solo would have gone much further but the book didn't fit into their plans and lineup). At this point I think be wants as many people as possible interested without sullying his relationship with the Gambit and Romy fans (because of the cover, Romy bait obviously).
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: AeroSennin on November 24, 2015, 07:11:25 PM
Interestingly my question was altered a bit. They cut it off after one of the full stops. It originally included a bit relating to the Torch and this triangle. If it was dangerous poking Romy fans like that as many are over this on and off again bit and would it have been safer to leave gambit in limbo if he wanted to explore Rogue and Torch.

I wonder if it was deliberate or if the question was too long. I think he was really trying to avoid the Torch bit. Thoughts?
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: AeroSennin on November 24, 2015, 07:41:12 PM
I'm not American but a quick Google places the fifth as right not to incriminate oneself.... it almost bodes ill without saying more. Also thin character again is not a welcoming phrase. I am starting to wonder if limbo was not safer?.

I took his response to essentially be, "pick up the book to find out," which is fine.  He does seem to realize he doesn't have much time to try and sell us on Gambit in UA so I will see how it plays out.  People just seem to expect way too much if you think a writer is going to spoil things and in the end time will tell.

My sentiments exactly. You don't have to include spoilers on a question if a character will or will not be in the book, especially if it's not even part of the plot. The solicits don't infer that he'd be part of some surprise, but only if best "friend or foe". #6 seems to have e nothing to do with #5, so him saying yes or no if Gambit will be a permanent fixture would do nothing to spoil the story... Again, I think be kept it vague to not kill the dreams of hopefuls that will impulse buy the book in hopes that it will be Gambit's home for the foreseeable future. If #5 sells better than the other issues around it, I think we'll see a rewrite and have him included in future issues and arcs.

I am not saying it is hard.  I am saying maybe it's not his preference or style to do so and I see no reason to expect that someone will.  Some people would be more forthcoming in that scenario and some people won't.  To each his/her own.

It very well may be that Gambit will be a plot point.  It very well may be that he won't.  Unless someone knows Duggan's personality to know what he means when he says something like that then it's just pointless speculation.

Oh I have no intention of buying this book as 616 Gambit and Rogue don't interest me.  His appearance would have to blow me away when I flip the pages in the comic book store for me to consider buying.  I just don't see the point of overanalyzing his response or lack thereof.

You're assuming these A+ writers WANT to work under the constraints Marvel puts on them. It's a stable pay check but from what I gather these guys in the X-Men office run on a tight leash. Isn't Scott over at DC? Not exactly the "cold" especially if these movies do for them what MCU did for Marvel.

Comes up (maybe "Came up" is better) with ideas but cant follow through to save his life. Not to mention his scripts are just bland... vanilla at best.

From Duggan X-Po about Rogue:

Question: All I want is a book with Gambit in it. Is there any hope for that?

Duggan: Yes. Yes, there is. Maybe even more than one.

your thoughts, gang... I bolded "maybe" as I think it's key in this sentence. He just stringing us along so he can rebuild some good faith with us?
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: bigstupidjellyfish on February 09, 2016, 04:16:56 PM
He might be counting X-Men '92. So that means either new book featuring Gambit alongside '92 or multiple books featuring Gambit alongside '92. Or he isn't 't counting it whatsoever.

I think a lot of people would pick it up if that were the case. Duggan's a big name. I hope it wouldn't crossover too much with Rogue and the Uncanny Avengers and instead engages with the X-Men books more.

I personally don't think we'll be getting a solo for Gambit, but a team book starring him is more likely.

I don't think he got a "kick out of it", but as a writer of an action book, getting an emotional response from the reader, even a negative one, isnt necessarily a bad thing. It means he made you care about what he wrote. I do think what he should have done after yanking our chain, whether intentional or not, he should have been a little more forthcoming with his audience, especially a gun-shy one like Gambit fans. For instance, give the readers a sure sign that it'll be revisited with the real Gambit's involvement during an interview. Or perhaps take it a step further and insert a prologue of Gambit elsewhere so we know he at least exists within the book's scope.

The problem is though, if he was aiming to get an emotional response from us, it was a cheap and meaningless way of doing it.  He knows how desperate we are to see Gambit, so he (or Marvel, whatever) promises us Gambit, advertises Gambit, uses Gambit as a means of selling the book, only for it not to be Gambit.  Winding people up and uses dirty tricks to make them angry isn't very creative or meaningful.  Making us sad, happy, upset or anything like that and getting an emotional response through storytelling, that's another thing. 

Now maybe he actually has a Gambit story up his sleeve.  Then I'll eat my words.  I'll happily eat them.  Seeing is believing though.

When I saw that, I was thinking of it as "issue" statement. Like he could be in more than one issue of a book...such as Uncanny Avengers. I would happily be wrong if it means we get to see him in a couple books. (Disclaimer: marvel has the ability to make me eat my words and regret being excited about him being in any book.)

Seeing all of Duggan'a responses including those on Twitter, I think it makes sense to expect The real gambit to pop up at some point in UA. Could be 8 or 9 since those are supposed to be big rogue issues. (Which I get is not comforting for many of you.)

That's your fault though not his.  Again, comics have always had stories that had bait and switch or imposters.  The idea that Duggan can't tell a story with imposters simply because Gambit fans are dying for Gambit is just odd to me.  There was nothing dirty about having RS impersonate Gambit.  It fit within the story he crafted. 

Are we going to say a story can never have an imposter or a bait and switch or does this rule only apply to Gambit?

The issue is that it went beyond storytelling. The book was marketed in a manner that basically said this was Gambit, not foreshadowing and plot developments in the issue before or heck, during it. So no, not Duggan's doing, but id say the marketing staff that wrote the solicits, had the cover drawn, plastered it with Gambit's signature logo, and wrote things like "Gambit makes his move!" on it got one over on us.

Not to mention they released that cover a little sooner than they normally do (it did its job LOL). Another thing that got me, at least now, was the "friend or foe" thing. His allegiance never came into question during the story... And his attentions were made clear with one or two sentences. That tells you the solicits and the writer didn't have too much correspondence. They made us question his allegiance not his Identity.

There are two sides to every story.  From the perspective of a Gambit fan, it sucks.  From the perspective of Marvel, it makes perfect sense to market it as a Gambit appearance to maintain the secret that it's not and to make it more surprising when it's revealed.  I mean the latter is kind of the point of a story of this nature ie to fool people in thinking it's Gambit until the big reveal that it's not.

I know you love an argument dude. But you've missed our point regarding emotional responses.  From the marketing machine's perspective aye, use Gambit to sell a book.  That's just dirty marketing tricks though, that's nothing to do with story.  Is a "story of this nature" there to lure fans into buying the book because they think it's something that it's not?  

You're right.  There's nothing wrong with the story itself.  Sure, make readers think Gambit has shown up only to reveal it's an imposter.  That's not a bad story point in any way. What we're saying is that the lead up to this story was cheap.  They've used bait and switch tactics on us and then gone "don't be mad bro, this is how storytelling works!".

Would I have been annoyed if, without a marketing campaign that made us believe the real Gambit is back,  suddenly Gambit had shown up and it turned out to be RS? No, absolutely not.  It probably would've tickled me greatly and I'd be saying "man, I wish Duggan would actually write the real Gambit, he's quite good with the character".

Edit:  Just realised I've only repeated what Don said only less eloquently.  Sorry mate  :P
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: remydat on February 11, 2016, 10:42:27 AM
So just so I am clear, you wanted them to keep Gambit in the story but then not market it at all?  And let's suppose they did that and Bleeding Cool or someone leaked that Gambit would be in UA 5.  Then with no marketing leading up to it, Gambit fans would complain about how Gambit gets no respect as he is reuniting with Rogue in UA 5 and Marvel isn't marketing it at all.  Point being it's a catch 22.  Someone was always going to be pissed no matter how this book was marketed. 

And It's not a dirty trick.  It is their job to sell books as well as maintain the illusion it is Gambit.  The fact Gambit fans keep falling for their marketing is more reason for them to keep doing it.  Instead of complaining about marketing doing what they are employed to do, maybe stop giving them a reason to do what they did. 

I mean holy crap they told everyone that fans would be upset and yet no one thought to proceed with caution?  That was as big of a heads up you are ever going to get from Marvel and yet people still ran out and got the issue first day so honestly as I said it's your own fault (speaking generally).  Stop giving them your money until you are sure you will be satisfied with the product.

I guess my point is simply once the decision was made to use RS Gambit then obviously they would market it as a Gambit appearance to conceal that fact.  That's the nature of the beast.

But fair enough, agree to disagree.

To be fair, they didn't specify which fans would be upset. Because we're the punching bags of fandom lately, we assumed it would be us, but hoped otherwise... Sadly, we were wrong. Well most of us. Apparently there's a small minority that got a kick out of it.

Yes I think they said it first and then after they said it, the Romy cover and Gambit's guest appearance were revealed.  Seemed pretty obvious who they were referring to although most thought it was going to be something to do with Romy.  Either way, I think people had enough forewarning to be cautious.

And I don't think anyone got a kick out of it but rather some of us aren't going to be overly upset when things act according to their nature.  You throw a piece a meat in front of a tiger, it's going to eat it.  You give marketing overly excited and hopeful Gambit fans, they are going to use them to try and sell more books. 

So the question is, are you going to keep throwing yourself in front of the Tiger and hope that it's not hungry or will you take a more cautious approach?   Because throwing yourself in front of the Tiger and basically saying look at me then being upset when it eats you isn't the most logical approach.

IA - there was plenty of forewarning, when its stated that fans will be peeved by the issue is usually tell tale sign that something will set folks off. My only concern was it would be G's death. The plus is, he's not dead.

The other plus - RSGambit did act like Gambit. For those who don't romy, his refusing a kiss while a tactic to not get caught was amusing.

IA that it wasn't really getting a kick out of it, but when you go into these things with low expectations, its easier to handle.

Marvel didn't care - were proud to peeved off people.

If by "they" you mean Duggan, than ok. He was the only one in the equation that said fans might be upset (I think he was getting nervous by the amount of attention it got and wasn't looking forward to the backlash it might create). Otherwise, I don't see how that cover would serve as "warning" except to the extremely apprehensive... Or perceptive, I guess it depends on what end of the spectrum you're on. In a vacuum, the only foreboding piece of advertising during the whole campaign was the "friend or foe" thing that never came into play.

I don't think anyone questions the ability of the marketing department and their ability to do their jobs. But good business rarely equals, good ethics or good will towards customers, at least beneath the surface. Especially when we're talking about sales. Look at what the comic book companies did during the 90s. They almost marketed themselves to death.

Hey... people still think they are saving money on top of the line electronics on black Friday. Its common knowledge that most consumer electronics cost a fraction of what they sell for to actually make (shoes are even worse). It's a good business. But on black Friday, especially with TVs and low-end computers, those same companies stock shelves with watered down versions and put them on "sale". Doesn't make them the devil... Shady? Perhaps, but only if you forked over your money expecting an equal transaction. Like paying for something and expecting to get what was advertised. Silly of me and others, I know. But I had hopes :'(

Not like I didn't have an idea, it spoiled vaguely the night before. But it was so well written up to that point I still got my hopes up.

Does it matter who warned you?  You were warned.  You chose to ignore that warning.  And you can't really claim ignorance as I recall people speculating about what the warning meant (e.g death, etc.) so not sure what more you want Marvel to do. 

There was nothing unethical here as in the world of movies, comics, books, consumers are routinely led to believe one thing only for it to be another.  That's a very well mined story idea and unless you are going to argue they should stop these types of stories across the board, you just think it's unethical because as a Gambit fan, you got burned.

Hmm... Incoming wall of words. Trying to be optimistic, he never said which fans would be upset. It's not like Gambit fans were the only ones reading the issue. It could have easily been Rogue, or Torch, which what is what I was hoping for, Gambit getting the better end of the deal, maybe fooling the team and making them look silly. And you do realize I said I went into it knowing, and stated I was talking in a vacuum? I didn't go into anything blind, but with high hopes. Sue me. I'm trying to talk with you man, not argue a point... Unless you work for Marvel's Marketing Department? But its not like this is some nonsensical topic, CBR who's been known to not be overly pro-Gambit chose to even bring it via an article and thread, not because it was a huge lead up twist, but because it left a lot of folk hanging.

You really zeroed in on the word "ethics", but yeah telling the consumer one thing it turns out to be something else, isn't the most ethical act in terms of being upfront, its not illegal technically but its been known to sprout class action lawsuits. That's the business of sales sometimes. And yeah its happened in movies too, and it pissed people off as well then too. I think Brad Pitt was billed in a movie and despite trailers and posters, was only in like 5 minutes of it. Or that fairly tale movie "Bridges of something" that was advertised as a whimsical family movie but turned out to be extremely depressing and left people crying because some little girl died LOL. Or that terrible FF7 movie (and I'm a car guy! 02' Subie Bugeye) that supposedly had the Rock in it... Yeah he was in the first 5 minutes and the last 15 and sprinkled in the middle inside a hospital bed. So any Rock fans got a little shorted, but that could have been due to the reshoots following Walker's death. But I digress...

I was using this here as just a way to make a point, not actually calling Marvel anything. I did say marketing did their job. And uhh, for lack of better words... Duh, a lot of people got burned. Anyone who bought this hoping it would be Gambit as it was aggressively advertised as, got burned. I don't follow this book and bought it because they said my favorite character would be a part of it. So bravo to them. Again, I give them credit for selling some books at the expense of fan expectation.

There was no "warning" beyond some snitch who got the book early a night before and told the internet "its not Gambit". The only warning anyone could have taken to heart that something negative may happen was using lessons from the past. In which case we should stop reading altogether, something a lot of people here said they had done already. I read one book, the Ultimates. I came over and picked up UA for one reason. Marvel didn't give anyone a heads up LOL.

I remember Brevoort saying something about X-Men fans specifically but I don't see how that translates to "Gambit fans beware, ignore the cover, solicitations and mass of interview questions about him!". Marvel didn't give warnings, one person said something ambiguous. Only clue we had was their track record. Sometimes I think we forget that we aren't the normal fans. We have direct links to the industry. We read insider interviews and solicitations that someone who just goes into a store once a month or opens there comic app, don't. I'd say less than 10% of the readership has a CBR account, heck I'm the "hardcore fan" and didn't have one until last year LOL!

Purp:  I also remember Duggan saying along the lines of "some fans aren't going to be happy" purposely not specifying what fans (which makes sense, he never gave away any details). It led to a lot of us talking about it here and CBR. It was even part of my dialogue with him via Twitter. I'll try to find it for you Purp ;)

To end defending my opinion... I'm starting to think you guys assumed i was talking about you when I said "some people got a kick out of it". Sorry if you felt I was pointing a finger, but there were more then a few folk on CBR that really liked the twist, mostly because they didn't want to see Gambit in the book or just thought it was funny (laughing at Gambit fans) in a "nah nah nah-nah-nah" kind of way. So... some people did get a kick out of it.

Speaking of past history... It got me thinking. You guys don't think the next time we see Gambit, he'll have to be "rescued" do you? I mean the last couple times he "returned" it involved him kind of screwin the pooch. First in X-Factor where Wolverine basically makes him look like a clown then in Storm's solo. No matter how much fun that was, it was him asking her for help stealing something and needing to be saved a couple times as if he wasn't capable. I think Duggan made it clear that he'll be using Gambit again some time down the line. I hate if that was his entrance in AN Marvel. Being a damsel.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Nekobaghira on February 14, 2016, 10:48:27 AM
I don't want him to have to be rescued, that would be very disappointing for me. He's not a damsel in distress.

The only comic I'm currently buying is Superman and Wonder Woman, and the amount of time Superman has been a damsel is starting to rub me the wrong way. From time to time, okay - but when its all you get storywise, I'll pass.

I would like for Gambit to be doing his own thing, whatever that may be.

I'm not sure how "clear" Duggan was - how much of it was just bs, blowing smoke as it were. The number of times a writer has said "they'll use Gambit" and "he's got a pivotal role" or whatever words that leads to possible use to be disappointed is pretty darn large by now.

I think I'd like a version of Gambit the Collector as the run in type role. He's taking something, perhaps the UA squad will not want him to have it - a little tension as to who ends up with item, I would want Gambit to do the right thing.

I always wondered what would have happened if Gambit's solo kept going and he kept stealing things from people, insulting royalty, crashing parties and pissing off international organizations, leading to the Avengers actually coming after him. I would have loved him playing cat and mouse with Hawkeye and/or Black Widow, maybe Spider Woman... I bring up those three because I dont see the likes of Thor, Cap or Iron Man going after him, or even being able to catch him while he's in his element.

I would be absolutely fine with this - he was always an anti-hero to me. I don't need him to be like a Superman or anything. Use his backstory, loads of stories that could be told with his background. And it doesn't even need to get into guilds either. He's always worked best with his own agenda.

I don't think you can criticize people for not 'listening' to brevoort's warning. He said x-fans would be pissed not gambit fans. It's pretty well 'documented' that marvel doesn't care what gambit fan think or else he'd actually be in a book now and they wouldn't have let Carey squash him to live out his old man abuse fantasy in legacy. I did think he might get killed, because an xmen dying in an avenegers book would piss off xfans. The oops it's not really gambit wouldn't have bothered 'xfans' who weren't particularly gambit fans, and it didn't. Given past behavior, there's absolutely no reason to think brevoort was talking about gambit or a bait and switch. I think was of the running theories was that rogue would be cured of being a mutant in order to cure the t-mist problem.

Don,

So my simple question is what did you want Marvel to do with the marketing?  Your only real options are for them to spoil their story or try and keep it completely secret.

I assume we can agree that spoiling their story isn't much of an option.  OK so next option would be to not market it as a Gambit appearance at all.  OK now what happens when someone leaks that Gambit is going to be in UA5 and Marvel didn't market it.  There would be upset Gambit fans complaining about how Gambit gets no respect and Marvel would still not spoil their story.  Except now they have also missed out on more sales.

Point being there are downsides to both scenarios and Marvel choose the scenario that offers them a chance to make more money.  That's entirely logical and ethical.

Further by contrast all you had to do after hearing the warning was wait to see what people said about his appearance.  You would have lost nothing but a chance to read it early.

I think was of the running theories was that rogue would be cured of being a mutant in order to cure the t-mist problem.

Of course I can.  Gambit is still an Xman so he is still within the realm of people that the statement could be aimed at.  And there were plenty of fans who read that statement and thought it was about Gambit on here and at CBR.

I am not saying you could guess exactly what it meant but you could like several of us refuse to to buy until you were sure.  We've all been burned by Marvel enough to proceed with caution.  I read the book in the comic store, put it back without buying it and then bought some Lucifer TPB.

Anyone running out the minute a comic comes out with an alleged Gambit guest appearance is asking to be disappointed.  How many times are you guys going to fall for this?  It's insanity at this point so sorry I have no sympathy for someone that continues to do this.  Now if you are someone that hasn't read comics the past decade or two and has been completely out of the loop regarding Gambit and Marvel then sure maybe I feel sorry for you that you were duped.  But everyone in this thread has seen this go on long enough to know better and frankly if I am Marvel and Gambit fans keep running out and buying Gambit guest appearances no matter how many times I disappoint them then I will keep doing it until they hold themselves accountable.

I actually didn't run out and buy it. I indeed waited to see what was happening, but I don't blame people who did for being upset. And there are lots of people who just pick up what looks interesting and don't follow sites or interviews. They don't have to have not been reading for ten years, just don't know about what editorial has been saying.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: remydat on February 15, 2016, 11:02:28 PM
Well to each his/her own then.  I blame them.  If you just pick up what randomly looks interesting then you better be prepared that sometimes it's not going to be what you anticipated. 

However I don't see any of those people in this thread.  I just see people who once again should know better by now.  Comics aren't a necessity. No one is going to be extremely disadvantaged if they wait to buy.

Whatever ....  It won't get me to put this book on a pull list.  While I may pick this up, I'll be in no hurry to do so because in the end, I don't care if Rogue meets Gambit.

Edit:RSGambit was thieving so there is auto drama with that even though UA looked the other way. They didn't know it was him so again more auto drama. Not to mention RSGambit not allowing a kiss and basically said she had cooties. Not seeing this as going well.

Solicit for Gambit/Deadpool mini.

MARVEL HAS JUST RELEASED THE SOLICITATIONS FOR JUNE FEATURING THE LAUNCH OF DEADPOOL V GAMBIT #1 (OF 5)
BEN ACKER & BEN BLACKER (W) • DANILO BEYRUTH (A)
Cover by KEVIN WADA
Variant cover by Tim Seeley
Gambit—one of the smoothest, best-looking operators in the world of the X-Men. Deadpool—one of the most annoying, ugliest dirtbags in the world of everything. Naturally, these guys got beef. But do you know what they have in common? A secret history of working together to pull con-jobs. That's right—the grift is on as the Regeneratin' Degenerate and the Ragin' Cajun begrudgingly take on one last job together. Writers Ben Acker & Ben Blacker (THUNDERBOLTS, The Thrilling Adventure Hour) and artist Danilo Beyruth (GWENPOOL) lead us into the dirty underbelly of Deadpool and the squeaky-clean abs of Gambit!

I had some spare time so I found Jordan D. White at Tumblr :)

My question: Is there any hope to see Fabian Nicieza writing Gambit again? Gambit by Nicieza/Skroce is my favourite comic book series ever.

His answer: I am not in charge of Gambit, so it’s not up to me. You want to track down Daniel Ketchum.


I found it interesting because it was Jordan D. White`s idea to put Gambit vs Deadpool and he is the editor of this mini.
Ketchum is the editor for all X books and editor with Brevoort for Uncanny Avengers.
Also if I am right, Ketchum was the one fightnig for Gambit solo in 2012.

So what do you think? If Jordan D. White hadn`t planned Deadpool V Gambit then we would have only cameo in UA for Gambit?

Or he will have bigger role in UA later? I doubt really because Duggan is ignoring all Gambit questions in X-Po.

How about a mini-series requiring the top thieves. . . something like a major heist from Doom's castle? I could only come up with 4 who would fit the bill. . . Gambit, Storm, Ant-Man and Black Cat.  Not a bad "New Fantastic Four" line-up.  While Storm is the logical leader / honest and trust-worthy type, the other three make for a very unpredictable line-up.

Hey now, hold your tongue... Gambit and Storm's movie rights don't belong to Marvel. How dare you offer a story in which MCU characters interact with X-Men other than dominating them physically, socially and politically. For shame.

Getting back to Deadpool v Gambit. If White has no control over Gambit where was it stated it was his idea for the book? It could have been something the editors through out there for a pitch and he was given the editorial job of the book.

Having pondered that, I'm just glad Gambit is in a mini. I don't care about him being in a book anymore. I'll take minis with concentrated Gambit than book where he's wallpaper or there for the sake of drama for Rogue.

The author of the piece has been set straight by several commenters, which is nice.

Funny thing about Gambit's fan... Most of them have never read a comic book in their life. Gambit shot to stardom following his inclusion in TAS. Millions upon millions of people who are fans of Gambit questioned why he was in the first 2 or 3 X-Men movies and don't even know we were once 3 months away from shooting a solo movie. Had a co-worker out of the blue started talking about how much he loved watching him on X-Men a d thought he was getting a movie. When I told him its generally been cancelled he was very disappointed. For fun, I asked a couple other people I know and Gambit was always the first or second X-Men they named from the show. Typically second to Wolverine.

Simmer down. I said "generally". Dantay is correct, it has been pushed back. Mind you, without a start date or any buzz beyond just that. At this point however, you can about compare it to the situation you see The Inhumans movie. Fortunately we still have Tatum and Limen attached to it, even if its a loose attachment at this point. Both have taken other jobs in the meantime while the script is reworked. Probably just because Fox plans to slash the budget thanks to Deadpool making nearly a billion dollars on a $60mil budget.

Exactly, which I sort of feel two ways about: "Yay, there are a lot of Gambit fans!...But they've only seen the cartoon." I've learned over time to not expect a current Gambit fan to be a comic reader. It's sort of frustrating, because I feel he's such a rich character in the comics. (Generally speaking, I mean...).

Yes, yes. He's awesome when not being smashed in the face by Cap's shield or wearing clown pants, or having pieces of his persona cut off and transplanted onto other pet characters to make them "cooler". All the while creators like Remender claim to not "understand the value in a character like him". But Fantomex? [sarcasm]That guy's awesome![/sarcasm]

OLD FRIENDS REUNITE IN UNCANNY AVENGERS

http://marvel.com/news/comics/26138/old_friends_reunite_in_uncanny_avengers?linkId=24190540

Marvel.com: You also get to draw Gambit and Rogue reuniting in this issue. What can you tell us about that meeting?

Pepe Larraz: I grew up with the Gambit and Rogue love story. I started reading X-Men books when I was a kid, so having them again on the same page was great. I think things became so intense between those two; they’ve been through a lot, and they are not as close as they used to be, but I wanted to give them some warm touches. That’s why I made the cartoony panel on page 3, to make readers smile tenderly watching them, as I was smiling drawing them. Both of them deserve it.

Errmmm... So Gambit's going on petty heists while mutant kind is dying out and making kissy faces... Not the worst but mostly to prop up Rogue and make her feel better. Awesome. Can't wait to spend my hard earned cash on this. This was definitely worth the wait and frustration of the last time he was in this book...
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Nekobaghira on May 06, 2016, 12:19:23 AM
I see that sarcasm DPT. LOL  Of course he's a prop for Rogue. That's been his role for a long time. ;)

Funny he's trying to kiss her and she rejects him. I'm fine with that. LOL

Since Rogue is flying away in the last page. It's possible that these pages are it. I guess we'll find out.

The main titles do not treat Gambit well, and have not in a very long time. If he's not pining or wall paper, he's a joke in clown pants. I think I'm ok with only these pages. Less damage done. IMO.

Which is a shame, right?  Because when all is said and done, that is a fairly decent Gambit.  Not stellar, not Asmus or Nicieza levels of Gambit, but decent.  Sure of himself and confident, so you can see why Rogue wanted to jump him.  So I mean, if Gambit actually had a proper, substantial role as a recurring character in this book, then it would probably be a great addition!  Why noooooo we can't have that now can we?

But then you know...maybe I'm being being a beggar and a chooser, I want a writer to write Gambit because they WANT to.  Not because they got told to.  And not because they hate him and make him want to look bad (seriously got that vibe when Gambit got brought back in AoA to get trolled by Tampax and then die stupidly AGAIN), or because they need more drama with Rogue.  Like, Liu and Asmus and PAD, they wanted the character and wrote him wonderfully.  But hey they didn't sell millions of copies or whatever. 

So Duggan knows how to write Gambit but unless he wants to write Gambit because he likes Gambit, then I don't want him to write Gambit.  Does that make sense?  It's like Carey.  Who, by the way, I think is a rubbish writer especially now that I've read the novel he brought out recently.  But anyway, rubbish or not, Carey demonstrated by his first ever writing of Gambit in X-Men #200 I think that he could do the character justice.  He had flashes of it a few times, like that issue where Gambit, Rogue and Danger are going about stopping riots.  You know?  But I felt like he didn't like Gambit.  He only wanted to use him to make Rogue and Magneto look good.  And that stopped him from actually writing the at least competent Gambit that he COULD have. I don't ever want that again.

Well... Asmus wants to write Gambit and is hoping that we ask that HE gets to again. Maybe  I didn't make myself clear enough? Campaign the x-office to give Asmus another shot at Gambit. Hopefully with a little more freedom. A little more. Some of his ideas were a bit out there.

Comics Explained did a video chronicling Apocalypse and brought up Gambit twice. However, it was so inaccurate I'm not sure where he got his information from. He claims Gambit took part in the mutant massacre alongside the Marauders and that he joined  Apocalypse because he thought that the mutant race needed a leader and Apocalypse was the one that could do the job at any cost, basically... light him up if you see fit.

They kill off Gambit and I'll be peeved to say the least. I don't care that is "just a variant". Gambit has not been treated well via Uncanny Avengers. This doesn't bode well. And really it looks like a freakin' final prop for Rogue. So that Rogue gets a story and the Gambit fan loses their favorite character.  Yeah, I'm so excited for this. NOT.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch

Yeah Purp, you might be 100% right. The difference is, all the the variants are abstract dipictions of stuff thats actually happened... Gambit has never died in the main universe. What would be the point of teasing this? Unless we start getting variant covers of Beast, Storm, and Iceman dying, I'm going to be a bit concerned here. There's also the fact that Rogue's eyes are red/black as if she imprinted him before dying and shes obviously distraught. That's a lot of story for just a harmless click bait variant. But, again maybe Duggan & Co. are just screwing with us.  ???

Warpath is on the cover for New Avengers. Writer of NA may even do not know who Warpath is)
It is just a variant. Gambit and Rogue are on it because they sell.

Let's hope so... otherwise I'm going to Expedia.

Yeah Purp, you might be 100% right. The difference is, all the the variants are abstract dipictions of stuff thats actually happened... Gambit has never died in the main universe. What would be the point of teasing this? Unless we start getting variant covers of Beast, Storm, and Iceman dying, I'm going to be a bit concerned here. There's also the fact that Rogue's eyes are red/black as if she imprinted him before dying and shes obviously distraught. That's a lot of story for just a harmless click bait variant. But, again maybe Duggan & Co. are just screwing with us.  ???

What about all the alters we saw killed by New Sun? Or whichever issue that was where he had the horrible boy-band curls? Didn't he die at the end of that? Had him and I think Rogue kissing in the rain on the cover? And I know there's been a universe in which he was a zombie.....(then again there was also one where he was a toddler, and one in which he was a bloodhound, so that's not saying much!)

My point  was comparing that to the demises of Colossus, Nightcrawler and Jean, all of which lasted years. Jean is still dead if you dont count her teenaged self. I don't think you can stand these up next to that... heck, if we want to be really picky, Gambit took a bullet  to the head not too long ago.

Slow responses are probably due to the fact that this story probably has no bearing on Gambit's place in the MU, it's a story in the recent past. I'll be checking it out more than likely; and if it does well, maybe it'll turn into something more than a 4 issue Deadpool mini featuring Gambit!

All-New Inhumans has been cancelled and James Asmus is encouraging people to tweet Daniel Ketchum and the X-Men office to give him an X-Men book. It's not strictly Gambit related, but we know he's still interested in the character and if this works then it's a guaranteed spot for Gambit.

AXEL-IN-CHARGE: Facing the 'Divided' Marvel NOW! Future

New this week was "Deadpool v Gambit" #1, from Ben Acker & Ben Blacker and artist Danilo Beyruth. Obviously Marvel puts out a lot of Deadpool comics out, but Gambit seems like one of those characters with a cult fan base that is never quite satisfied -- how much of the motivation for this book was a way to get more Gambit material out there to the people?

Alonso: All of it. In addition to being a fan-favorite on pretty much every team he's been on, Gambit had a number of series and miniseries throughout the years, so we've long recognized that he's a character with a following. And right now, Deadpool is kinda-sort popular, too... so Ben and Ben whipped up a completely bonkers con man story that should appeal to fans of both characters.

Post by: Nekobaghira on June 24, 2016, 08:37:43 PM
That is one of the more positive things Alonzo has ever said about Gambit. Usually, its "here's here or there", not really acknowledging him other than ... there is "plans".

Its a positive that he sees the character has a following. That he is a fav on any team he's on.

Difference between Fox and MCU? They (MCU) had a CLEAR road map and plan from the end of Iron Man. The only surprises in their schedule came with the success of Guardians of Galaxy and acquisition of Spiderman (the productions of GotG sequel and plans for Spidey pushed back everything in phase 3 and even moved Captain Marvel to phase 4) and the axing of The Inhumans. Mind you, all these changes came like 10+ movies into their shared cinematic universe project. So no big deal, unlike Fox whom is pushing a single movie every two+ years, and all of them sans Deadpool (barely part of the shared universe) are sequels of the last, so not "shared".

If he's lost to fantomex I'd be beyond furious. Love how Fantome calls Remy a petty catburgular, when he's head of the Rhieves Guild.

I can see why people wanted Bunn to write Gambit now but I've also never understood why people think Gambit would work with/for Magneto. Good to see Gambit get some nice panel time that doesn't end with him being the Red Skull or involve Rogue (despite the fact that I like Romy and Rogue) or involve him getting taken out. I also liked the fight because it felt like a classic Gambit move of taking the advantage when it presented itself and even if he wasn't always in control of the fight he still won it... and he got to beat Fantomex. That's a double bonus for me.

It didn't make sense for him to get a "job" as it were in ANXF. I do think a story could be done where it could make sense. But I doubt the writers would even bother.

If MC can not think there is anything wrong with his Rogneto, it would be safe to say that the writers are not to terribly concerned with continuity.  As long as the character fits the bill story wise, its what you get. :)

Read this today and it reminded me of all the story potential that was wasted.  At the end there is a bit of an interview with Scott Lobdell where he talks about all the ramifications this story will have on Gambit's relationships with Storm, Marrow, and Rogue and we never really got any of that aside from some of the Rogue stuff.  The story potential with Marrow trying to reconcile Gambit's role in the massacre as well as his role in saving her life completely unresolved.  Then there is Storm exploring Gambit's motivations for joining and staying with the X-men despite never really being a die hard X-man.

At any rate, still much better than most of the stuff we get these days regarding Gambit.

I don't think Gambit would have a huge problem working with Mags.  Even when Joseph and he were in a bit of a love triangle with Rogue, there were times where he and Joseph worked fine together which I was reminded of when I read the Trial of Gambit.  Gambit says something to the effect of "us scoundrels need to stick together."

So I think classic Gambit had enough confidence, swagger, and understanding that people made mistakes that he would be willing to give Mags a chance if he thought Mags was trying to turn over a new leaf or had the best interests of mutants at hear.  He would obviously probably still keep an eye on him like he was planning on doing with Apocalypse but Gambit was always willing to work with shady types.

I kinda agree and disagree. About Gambit getting along or not getting along with Magneto. Gambit and Magneto have been in what I call an undeclared cold war, mostly concerning Rogue, not to mention the personal strike against him during the "trial" and initiating it in the first place, all just to distract the X-Men (which ultimately didn't distract anyone...). By all means, Gambit should kind of dislike the man, but at the same time not. Either him, or some version of him has gotten between him and her several times in at least 3 realities. But IMO what pulls that away is the fact that Gambit's self-loathing may dampen any ill feelings he could have or should have developed toward him.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: anya on July 21, 2016, 11:36:26 PM
I kinda saw it more as, yes he would be willing to work with shady types, but he wouldn't 'buy' mags constant holier than thou, and woe is me routine that Xavier and the rest always do. And as such wouldn't trust him as much either, hence wouldn't want to work with him (also he's got more 'human' friends and family than most of the other characters )

Fanto and Mistique did nothing important in 10 issues and appeared only a little bit. They are not even with team.

There were nothing to do for Gambit in this book really. Ofcourse Bunn could change if Remy was a part of book.

Post by: remydat on July 22, 2016, 05:15:37 PM
I kinda agree and disagree. About Gambit getting along or not getting along with Magneto. Gambit and Magneto have been in what I call an undeclared cold war, mostly concerning Rogue, not to mention the personal strike against him during the "trial" and initiating it in the first place, all just to distract the X-Men (which ultimately didn't distract anyone...). By all means, Gambit should kind of dislike the man, but at the same time not. Either him, or some version of him has gotten between him and her several times in at least 3 realities. But IMO what pulls that away is the fact that Gambit's self-loathing may dampen any ill feelings he could have or should have developed toward him.

I didn't say they would get along.  I said Gambit can work with him or be on a team with him.  I would expect it to be like it was in the Trial of Gambit.  Gambit and Joseph were not friends by any means but that didn't prevent Gambit from siding with Joseph if he thought it was right.

The point was simply as someone that has done bad things he regrets and as someone who has always worked with shady types, I see no reason for Gambit not to be able to put aside any issues he has with Mags if ultimately it's in the best interest of the team or mission.

Hey Purp,

Gambit is in Civil War II X-Men #3.

Still not sure how I feel about this issue. Remy has some nice moments with Storm in it and funny dialogue with Fantomex.

But at the end when he is running towards Fantomex for round two he is distracted by Rogue. He don`t believes that Rogue could stand at Magneto`s side. And after that she punches him in face. Rogue is really a Mistique. Mistque admits that Rogue is Gambit`s weakness.

I think we will need to see issue 4 to understand really how this fight will end.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Spoonz on August 17, 2016, 10:39:45 AM
I don't think that Cullen Bunn would make Gambit lose horribly, although I hope not because he's a fan. Is that where the issue ends, setting up a Gambit and Mystique showdown?

Seems those two can't figure out if they're friends or not. One of the most antagonistic relationships around?

Then Psylocke arrived. Fantomex says no need to read his mind and he will tell the truth.
He tells Magneto tasked him to New Atilan to get info about new Inhuman and not supposed to engage or killing him.

Psylocke says Fanto may telling the truth insomuch he is capable of.

After that Logan screams that they are under attack and have been set up.
Archangel attacks them and Kurt teleports Fanto away.

Post by: Nekobaghira on August 17, 2016, 05:38:11 PM
Gambit's appearance was good overall until the Rogue stuff which had been his downfall in this story but in the long run  was not good for characterization. IMO

Gambit knows she is an Avenger, she is not with this team who are not Avengers, why he would fall for Mystique's trick is also disappointing and showcases how the books don't pay attention to each other and nor do they care as long as whatever is needed happens in the story.

The thing with Storm was very much in character.

I thought the same, but after seeing it, I think it's a good enough reason to draw his attention. However, rambling on and on like that just to be sucker punched? Mystique isnt a push over but she isnt freaking Iron Fist. I would have thought a guy that can keep pace with Daredevil, Blade, and Deadpool would be able to parry a non-super punch. I believe Bunn likes Gambit and would write him well in a team setting, but that was a bit off to me, otherwise I think the characterization was fine. Him being distracted by Rogue's sudden appearance alongside of someone she's had a history with is plausible. It does make sense, him being KOed by Mystique? Not so much...

From the writers prospective, he needed Gambit out of the way, along with the rest of the X-Men, and he could have gone another way and had Fantomex lay him out. Instead he wrote him being tricked. I can live with that, though I think he kind of put Mystique on a pedestal here with the one and done shot.

I played the game in two time periods. First time I choose Daredevil in some selectable heroes and earn Strom by chance. At that time Gambit was unplayable character that sells cards if I remember correctly. Then I got bored and uninstalled it. Second time in somewhere I read that players can get any hero they want and I installed for second time and got Gambit this time. I played the game with Gambit for weeks by in the end I got bored again.

Recently I played Contest of Champions after Gambit introduced. Played for two days got 10 characters and opened two Cajun crystals but non of them were Gambit. I hated that it all depends on luck. Uninstalled and never looked back.

yeah after the first mission you can choose a character to play as once you get to lvl 10 you unlock them and that is your character for the duration unless you buy others needless to say i chose Gambit straight away and never looked back  :)

It looked like Gambit had a very brief cameo in Civil War 5. There's a page with shots of some heroes who are not in the battle listening / watching it on the news. Top box is Matt Murdoch, then under him is Gambit wrapped in a towel having just come out of a shower. I think the box below him is Black Widow, and the bottom box was Hawkeye. No spoken words or anything, just a quick glimpse, where if you blinked, you missed it.

Marvel Editor Sana Amanat and The Mighty Captain Marvel writer Margeret Stohl joined ABC for their monthly (provided an issue actually makes it out) Civil War 2 live stream chat. Nothing too mind blowing was revealed, but Amanat did drop a subtle hint about Marvel’s plans for the X-Books and Inhumans:
"It will eventually lead into a big fractioning between those two parties, and then we’re gonna have a whole new line of X-Men and Inhumans titles. We’ve announced some of those titles, I think."

Bleedingcool reaction: Some?! We already know about X-Books such as X-Men Blue and X-Men Gold, Generation X, Iceman, Jean Grey, Cable, and Weapon X, with more details on those last two expected in the next few days. What other new X-Books could Marvel have planned? What’s Gambit been up to, anyway?

Wonder if he will make an appearance or is just fan bait to buy a cover. LOL

I think he will appear later.

But maybe he will appear in one page where he figures out that X-23 has problems.

I'm actually thinking about getting the old X-23 series since I've never read it if Gambit continues to not be a mainstay somewhere. Back issue bins are a wonderful thing.

Yeah, back issue bins are. Liu handled Gambit well. Probably a tad more mentoring-ish but good none the less. Some good Gambit and Wolvie moments too.

Jeremy Whitley about All-New X-Men MU#1

http://www.cbr.com/marvels-teen-heroes-battle-monsters-unleashed/

The solicits I read for “All-New X-Men” #1.MU suggested Laura’s story would be a fun investigative style tale in New Orleans.

Yeah, Laura is in the swamps of New Orleans and working with her good friend Gambit. They’re trying to figure out and track the thing that is killing his friends and fellow thieves.

Meanwhile, the rest of the team is in New Orleans enjoying Mardi Gras.

Gambit and Laura’s friendship goes back to Marjorie Liu’s fantastic “X-23” series. What’s it like having them reunite in your story?

It’s a lot of fun because it’s been a while since the end of “X-23.” I went back and reread all of Marjorie’s stuff, which was all great and it’s interesting to see how the kind of tone around stories with Laura has shifted. “X-23” was a pretty serious book, and “All-New Wolverine” is not exactly light hearted, but Laura has more of a sense of humor now. She’s a bit dryer and more well rounded. It’s because she’s grown so much as a character.

So reteaming her with Gambit was a lot of fun. He’ll get a chance to see how much she’s grown. He sort of took her under his wing in the “X-23” series.

To be fair, it didn't make sense how Gambit would be able get to Deadpool as quick as he needed to stop Quicksilver.

Deadpool, Spider-Man, Gambit, and Magneto versus the Uncanny Avengers is a pretty cool idea.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: cc008 on January 11, 2017, 11:53:14 AM
Of course, all of us here were hoping he'd be on the phone with Gambit, but Spider-Man makes much much more sense.  He quit in the first issue BECAUSE of Wade, and since then they've formed a fairly solid friendship. So it makes sense he'd call a friend he's currently in communication with. But yes, Deadpool, Spidey, Gambit, and Magneto VS All would be very fun to read. Obviously we know Remy's coming. Just not sure when yet.

I think in All-New Wolverine it was the biggest explosion from single card that I have ever seen. Even bigger ten in Gambit #3 by Nicieza.
Ofcourse we will see what kind of damage it will do.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch

yeah it was massive explosion, from one card and all, i think the little one called Remy from the ship to warn him, im sure he knows she has a healing factor and will survuve, i also think she knew what he was going to do as she told Tyger Tyger to get behind the desk.

Little clon of Wolverine (like her little sister) escapes from slaves ship with mobile phone and boat.
After this I think she calls Gambit for help. It wasn't shown on a panel. Just a guess.

Villain is using trigger scent on X-23 so she will kill Tiger Tiger in Madripoor.
One week later X-23 attacks Tiger Tiger. Litlle clon jumps on X from nowhere and tells that Laura will feel now more pain then she. (Gabby - little clon don't feel any pain at all). Then enters Gambit with greetings and throws 1 charged card into Laura and Gabby that destroyes the whole floor.
Explosion looks massive.

Its not a bad story ... I hope that helps with cost because $5 or close to it for one page is rough. LOL

As I said on CBR, if Origins Wolverine means nothing else anymore, we still know there IS a Gambit running around somewhere in that universe. It's only a matter of time before we see him  :gambit:

All-New X-Men #1.MU (Preview) with Gambit :gambit:

please please dont let him be talking in the third person

Nah I don't think he will be. He's just introducing himself to the readers haha. I'm curious when this takes place though in relation to All-New Wolverine. It's weird seeing him introduce himself to Laura twice like that.

Also, I kinda like the combination of his classic costume and Mann's design. Head sock ftw!

So it's been discovered that panels of Gambit have been posted, and continued to be posted, by RB Silva on his instagram. Could mean a number of things.. because they don't look like commissions.


EDIT- when I post the direct links, they come up unresponsive. Here's his instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rubens_bernardino/

This is definitely something out of a book.  But isn't Gambit going to appear in Uncanny Avengers soon?  And didn't this guy draw him in Uncanny already with that beanie? 

I'd love for Gambit to be in a team again though and, these are quite a few panels.  But I won't get my hopes up. 

Whatever it is, I hope we find out soon.

Larraz drew the issues that Gambit's appeared in so far. This looks a lot like his art but is by RB Silva.

Fingers crossed he's a rotating artist on Weapon X by Pak and Gambit is the last member. That's my wish for all of this.

I hope you're right. I'd love to see some Gambit/Domino or Gambit/Deathstrike action.

Also notice that right after the Gambit drawings is a drawing of Old Man Logan. Makes me hopeful that this isn't for UA.

ohhhh, the last time we saw that hat was in UA. In that silly smoochy thing. hmmm, it could be UA but like the rest I hope for Weapon X and that the hat just plain traveled from one artist to another. Interesting.

The reason I thought Wolverine (laura) .... was because of the vial and the story has something to do with the trigger scent, but I may be wrong.

I am sure that this art is not for All-New Wolverine.
Laura's arc with Gambit is ending in 2 issues witch I think are already drawn by other artist.
Kirk is new artist for All-New Wolverine from # 19.

As for UA it could be that editor used scans from UA 9 to show Gambit's current costume. And artist decided to left that cap or thought that it is a part of costume lol

The female character in the one picture looks to be either Rachel or Jean. OR someone else entirely.  But yeah, there is the OML sketch in there also, which makes me think this isn't UA. And there's a Psylocke sketch in there too. So I really don't know lol.

Hoping for Weapon X. Expecting a guest appearance somewhere.

I said it on CBR (I swear they lockup or delete one more post I'm done there. If I wanted to live in facist state I'd live in America... Wait a minute), if this an any clue that Gambit may be in Weapon-X, I wonder which one it will be. The clumsy push over that throws firecrackers or the guy that's taken down Super Skrulls, Wolverine, Sabertooth, GLADIATOR and took on the whole Starjammer crew solo?

Pak is writing and he did do an OK job with him during Storm's book, but people tend to lean when they have more than one toy. I have to admit. As much as I love Gambit, he hasn't been calibur of character he started out as.

forgot to add "Gladiator" to his list

Definitely not Rachel because it doesn't match her new Prestige look.

It honestly doesn't look like any particular character and the scene doesn't look like it would fit in any of the known X-books. I'm about ready to say it's nothing and the artist is just drawing stuff in his off-time. Even if it is more elaborate than a simple sketch.

Cannon fodder foot soldiers Don't count. We got plenty of that in the Asmus solo, mostly because he (Asmus) was denied access to like everyone outside of c-list non X-Men villains and HYDRA Nazi zombies. I say they are this because they seem to have matching battlesuits and their heads aren't displayed. Cannon fodder.

The problem is that Amsus wasn't writing him as the guy that's taken down Super Skrulls, Wolverine, Sabertooth, GLADIATOR and took on the whole Starjammer crew solo.

I loved Gambit/Hawkeye story in A+X but Gambit wasn't able to stop some frog monster with 52 charged cards. Asmus never showed his true agility or h2h skills in solo either.

No he didn't. He wrote Gambit in more of swashbucking Indiana Jones' style. He didn't have many instances to let the other side out, but again, he wrote within the vein he was allowed. The Gambit I'm referring to hasnt really been seen since like 96'. Asmus wrote a Gambit that was aware of how distracted he's gotten and how he was interested in rediscovering himself. Had he been able to finish out the run like he wanted, we may have gotten into more instances of Gambit being the Ragin Cajun.

17 issues is more then enough time to find a place to show his skills.

Issues 8 and 14 were the lowest for me.
I would change 8 or 14 for an issue with Gambit vs Dozen of Ninjas or mindless action anytime.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: cc008 on January 29, 2017, 04:28:38 PM
The thing about mindless action is you can't realize write it if you don't know how long your book is going to last. Marvel could have canceled Gambit at any moment. Asmus needed to tell a story. Whether it was the complete one he wanted to tell or not, he didn't have time to waste with splash pages and fight scenes.

I think you forgot he didnt know when his run was going to end. The last arc was just him tying up loose ends and it's the reason why we got like 2 or 3 filler issues in between arcs. It was all fly by the seat of his pants until he got direction. But yes, instead of that fairy land or Iron Patriot issues, I would have liked to see Gambit vs Ninjas.

I think Asmus knew how solo would end at the beginning or at least had a plan. At issue 14 we would have bo idea what was the main plot of this book.
After issue 16 it was clear that the whole run and main heists was to show that Gambit deserves to start his trial.

I remember in first interviews we Asmus told that in issue 6 we will see Gambit's telepathy resistance but in book we hadn't seen it.
I think it were supposed to be a scene where MI13 was doing Gambit's interrogation.
Also Asmus told that he cut out fighting scene from issue #2. I think he wasn't able to put everything in 20 pages.

But the truth is that if you write character as great h2h and agile then he always would be a great fighter in all arcs and you don't need to add 1 issue vs dozens of ninjas to show how good fighter he is.

I'd buy into a Deadpool/Gambit book by a writer of Bunn's talent! Heck you can make it a meta joke and continue to call it 'Deadpool V Gambit'. They'd still be working together faithfully, but routinely leave each other hanging, mostly comically. It can be deeper than just one upping each other. It wouldn't be that they don't "like" each other, but they have such a profound respect for the others ability to survive, they don't worry when the know the other is in a pinch.

Solid issue and nice to see Gambit not depicted as an idiot for once

Silva posted new pic on his instagram with Kitty Pryde.
So it seems he is working on X-Men Gold and Gambit will have cameo there.

I don't think that he will join team because all Gold membrrs has new costumes and Gambit has his current one.

Sad that Gambit won't be part of Weapon X but I am not surprised.
Also I am glad thay Gambit will at least appear in Gold. He wasn't in any flagship X-Men book for yeeeears.

All New X-Men #1 MU:

Aside from the third person, some odd wording and one dees - Gambit didn’t sound too bad. I suppose being in NO might be a factor.

I think the relationship between Remy and Laura was handled well. Not a bad appearance.

Interesting choice in the art for Gambit's powers. Made me think Legacy when Remy charged a machine and killed the telepath.

Edit: I thought Pickles the Bamf was humorous and that Gambit wanted a bamf made me laugh, expecially when Laura said the bamf eats like a horse.

It could be because I am out of touch with modern comics but I really enjoyed Gambit's appearance in All New X-Men. Though with all of the 'darlin', 'petite' and such, it felt like his last line should have been him using her name. He didn't really do much, which kind of makes sense. When you have a friend that is par excellence in an activity, sometimes it is enjoyable to watch them work. It is also a bit of a relief because it never seems that any writers really think about what Master Thief means and so Remy can feel underwhelming at times.

Actually looking forward to the Wolverine appearance. Looks good. Not too enthused about the art style and his coat is way too short, but art and Marvel, especially non-Bendis X-Men, dont really go together these days. It's like they try to find ways to save money, and the easiest way is not keep the better artist on payroll.

Ah okay, thank you!

Super hero movies like this one are kinda risky when looking for a director. Because the movie can either be a passion project and the director will take it seriously and it'll be great, or they'll just be looking to cash in on a super hero film and it'll be poopy.

Only way for a passion project to work is to have a producer, star and director on the same page. Typically one person has two of the aforementioned titles which cuts down on the interference, but it's not looking like this. Channing is a producer but not the executive producer. He's also not made any mention of it in almost a year now? No bueno.

True, but when Deadpool and even Logan were less than a year out of production start, there was way more content and quotes from the actors than we've gotten from Channing's silence.

Would it be terrible if this movie went ahead without Tatum?  I mean, he's a massive draw for people to buy tickets so there's that, and he loves the character, so there's also that.  But if he pulled out and they still went ahead with the film, do you think it would suffer as a result?

Post by: bigstupidjellyfish on February 06, 2017, 11:09:12 AM
Movie wouldn't happen without Tatum.

Honestly, the only people that would be pleased are the ones that think he has no acting ability and would rather Gaspard Ulliel to take over (despite him not having actual acting ability). Those people are a minority and I think the movie would suffer.

Agreed. He's the only thing that adds legitimacy to the project. The original script was supposed to really good, but thats gone, then we had a couple good directors, but thats up in smoke too so...

EXCLUSIVE: Gambit Returns on X-Men Gold #4 Cover Art

Looove this cover :gambit:
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Spoonz on February 07, 2017, 10:51:50 AM
Can't argue about the cover, it's stunning.  What's that story arc that had Gambit leading a team with Jean Grey, Beast, Cable and somebody else?  That was Uncanny X-Men, no?  That had the same thing with Gambit holding cards of his team mates.  And also Uncanny X-Men 350, where he's holding the cards in front of his face.  It's like a mix of those two covers. 

So this is that instagram art we've been seeing? 

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but can we be done with guest appearances?  Don't get me wrong I'm grateful, I'd rather guest appearances over limbo.  But it would be nice for him to just be on a team again. 

And what do you guys think, Gambit doing the flip-flop thing that Marvel loves with his character and being the bad guy in this arc?

Yup, we agree again. Don't trust much about this book at all really. I'm probably going to wait to see what his role is before purchasing. If it's a one and done, I probably won't bother because the book isn't THAT appealing to me. If he sticks around, then I'll probably pick it up.

How the @#@$ is Gambit getting uncharacteristically knocked the @#$@ out by someone running directly at him charming exactly? To anyone? They recognize the fact that he's taken on a man in Wolverine that has beaten Captain America to within an inch of his life, and freakin' Gladiator, our closest comparison to Superman (before we got Sentry and Hyperion) but say Gambit's arrogance or overconfidence got the best of him which led to his defeat? I can count on one hand with three fingers to spare where I can remember him being overconfident in battle, it's hardly a character trait worth highlighting when trying to justify that Avengers fluff piece of a story. Nick Fury says he's one of the best hand to hand fighters he's ever seen, Iron Man's computers can't keep him targeted, he catches Spiderman off guard (HIS POWER IS TO NOT LET YOU CATCH HIM OFF GUARD!) while fighting him hand to hand, and fights Daredevil and Blade to draws; but Captain America can fight him while not even paying attention to him?

I think the point they were making is that it illustrates all the things that make Gambit great as well as his flaws.  Here he is going up against the iconic Captain America and he doesn't flinch.  He's the same cocky dude with the swagger that says to him he can take down the leader of the Avengers.  At the same time that cockiness and swagger is what ultimately leads to his defeat as he doesn't quite get the charge right to completely knock out Cap.

From an objective viewpoint, I can see their point and actually agree with it for the most part.  It's always bothered me a bit that Gambit seemingly knows the exact durability of his opponents to know that using 52 cards on Gladiator is going to merely knock him out rather than kill him outright.  No matter how skilled someone else, they can't really know the full limits of an unknown opponent.  So without knowing exactly how durable Cap is, it's entirely possible for him to get the charge wrong particularly if we assume that Gambit is going to err on the side of caution as he generally doesn't want to kill anyone.

Why I ultimately still hate this scene is how dismissive Cap is of Gambit.  I think at one point he's on the phone shooting the sh*t with Iron Man and he acts like Gambit is no real threat to him.  Considering Gambit could easily have gotten the charge wrong by putting too much in it, I think that attitude from Cap makes no sense as Cap could have easily been killed.

So I agree with the author's larger point but I think it ignores the fact that the scene is poorly executed.

With that said, we all know he also wasn't trying to kill Cap... at least, I don't think so, but I'm not sure how you can turn someone's shirt into a bomb and not expect to kill them (comic book logic). I'm not against him losing. It makes sense, and to be honest, the fight could have gone either way. However, I believe it would have made more sense for Gambit, who's only trying to slow Captain America down, to retreat once he detonated his clothes. Him getting knocked out like some chump was just jarring. Going a little further, Captain America has been around so long, he is an icon, but up until that point he was never some invincible force. That was amped up thanks to Marvel's success with the Avenger's movie. I just sucks the X-Men got the short end of the stick. Just like they are with the Inhumans (this crossover seems a bit better written). The X-Men seem to be the stepping stones for the company.

Yes I agree his walking up to Cap without any sort of caution was pretty dumb.  I can at least pretend that is just Gambit being a bit to swaggerific there in thinking he won.  The way Cap acted like Gambit was no big deal, calling Iron Man during the fight or whatever it was is what was ridiculous as well as I would have liked to see perhaps a bit of an exchange at the end there before Cap took him down rather than the one punch KO.

It was an alright issue - I thought the relationship between Remy and Laura was handled well. Overall, I feel like the trigger scent thing is bleh. It's like a rehash of Liu's run with it - maybe there will be a conclusion or something. But with Jean's help it may not be used again anyway. *shrug*

Full of a lot old comic book tropes, talking about actions while their performing them, constantly saying each other's names, tons of thought bubbles and narration boxes. Not to mention it the issue number!

So some of the people he's matched or beat in hand to hand are; Daredevil, Blade, Wolverine, Spiderman, Sabertooth, effing Gladiator, Deadpool, tons of trained assassins... Gets punked by Fantomex and dropped by Mystique with a single punch... Modern X-Men. Gotta love it.

Yeah, we have been quiet. LOL

I don't know ... I guess it would be okay if Gambit was introduced via X-23 ... but tbh - the thought of her getting a film doesn't appeal to me. It's all riding on the film Logan ... and that Hugh Jackman is done with Wolverine. There is no replacement for him ... so X-23 is an attempt to keep that "type" of character going without him.

Angry girl movies ... yay ... <sarcasm

But what if that doesn't happen? Would you rather never see him in the movies at all? It would make me want to see an X-23 movie even more if he was in it.

I like Liu's Gambit but it is not that Gambit that I want to see as introduced Gambit. It is good as character progression.

If too choose X-23 solo or nothing then ofcourse x-23.
But I still thibk that we will see Gambit movie.

I think we'll see one too, but if it's having a hard time getting off the ground now, I don't see why introducing him in another movie would be a bad thing. If anything people will be more excited to see said movie if Gambit's there. Aside from Wolverine, Gambit is one of the most well-recognizable X-Men by the general public.

They decided to introduce him in solo because Tatum wanted to explain who Gambit is at first. And wanted to do it in solo.

I am 100 percent sure Gambit originally were supposed to appear as horseman in Apocalypse and later they changed him to Psylocke.
And I am glad with that. I really don't like Apocalypse and I doubt that in it Singer could do justice for Gambit or even his skills.

The chances of getting a Gambit solo actually improved with the success of Logan. Well, at least critical success.

It seem New Mutants and Deadpool 2 both will start shooting in May. A lot of rumours that Apocalypse sequel will start filming this summer. So these 3 movies are taking  3 X slots for 2018.

So if Gambit will ever be made it seems we won't see it earlier then the beginning of 2019.

Would love to see Gambit in X team movie but not excited to see him in past with X kids.

I'm not... this screams "I'm Gambit, and I cant take care of myself" The villain disregarding Gambit's card and the picture of him being blown back is starting to make more sense. You'd think someone that writes on Arrow would appreciate a more visceral character like Gambit, seeing as he doesn't have one on his current cast. I disqualify Nightcrawler because of his personality and Wolverine due to him being ... old.

I like the cover and I liked that RB Silva is drawing the issue. I'm a little apprehensive of the content hinted at because I just want Gambit to be shown as confident.  If he has a lead on this new villain and gets caught in snag and the X-Men find out, fine. But don't sacrifice his competence as a master thief, h2h specialist, and grown ass man.

If he's written well and sticks around then I'll gladly pick the book up.

Thing is.. I'm not unrealistic. I'm not asking for Gambit to save the day or be some sort of symbol of awesomeness. But I am requesting a degree competence that is comparable to the people around him. Gambit is not a screw-up that needs to be saved every time we see him... I'm just tired of him being portrayed as some kind of loser, third-rate character. This guy along with a handful of others helped keep Marvel afloat during his first decade of existence. Just sucks that these old-guard writers continue to dump on him just because theyd rather focus on other characters. I'd rather him stay in limbo than keep popping up just to make others look better. There is an entire generation of readers that have seen Gambit be what we know him to be.

I understand your frustration.  Gambit is drawn awesomely, he looks cool, the book seems to focus on him, sounds great. 

BUT it does say that he needs saving and that what he does best is get in over his head.  We can't blame anybody for being cautious, Gambit really is written as a bit of a punching back these days. 

I'll be cautiously optimistic though because what else can we do at this point?

Super tragic story but it still find it hard to believe that in any reality Wolverine was able to wipe out each and every X-Man in a single go... I'd buy him tracking them down individually over time but that's even a hard sell because the longer it'd take the more prepared they'd be. Just too many powerful characters to fell by a slasher IMO.

Sure thing!  For those who don't read OML, which seems like mostly everyone, the next arc will be Logan basically traveling through his past. I'm REALLY hoping when the time comes in the point of Logan's past, we'll see him interact with Gambit. I think OML and Gambit together would be so much fun and hysterical because YOU KNOW Remy would rag on him for being so much older.  I know, I know, it's just another guest appearance and a wish and we haven't done real well with those recently.. but I'd still enjoy it.

I know a lot of this is just more words and we've heard these types of words before... but the comment relating Tatum to Gambit and Reynolds to Deadpool and Jackman to Wolverine is EXTREMELY refreshing to hear, encouraging, and major respect points towards Tatum.

It's become a passion project for him and that's the best way to make the movie. I wouldn't be surprised if he got advice from Reynolds or Jackman to hang in there and keep pushing for it. Glad it's working.

“Yeah, it is going to happen, and it’s just a question…," Kinberg began, pausing to choose his next words carefully.
"Channing is—in the best possible way—as committed and as rigorous about getting the character right as Ryan was with Deadpool and as Hugh was with Logan on this movie, and so it’s been about finding a filmmaker and someone who can capture that voice and hand it off to Channing. But he’s been a really critical part of the process, and we’re hoping that the movie—probably given his schedule—will be ready to go this year and probably shoot next year.”

I hope that's exactly what it is because it gives us something different from Wolverine movies, different from Deadpool movies, and different from the main X-Men and New Mutants movies, but still in the same universe. And that's partly what'll make it succeed.

They let Deadpool be Deadpool and and Wolverine be Wolverine, both with directors and stars that wanted to make a movie that displayed the character, and it turned out great in both instances. Gambit is a playboy ladies man that supposedly has a list of past flings that far surpasses all. He blows things up by touching them, is as agile as anyone and grew up around magic, ancient beings, and deadly assassins and eventually becomes a X-Man. The movie can be an absolute joyride. It can also be the first mainstream comic book movie that goes the full action-thriller route with enough sexual content that'll make Basic Instinct blush...

That's a complete exaggeration on my part, but it can really be something the X-Men haven't seen in the same vein that Deadpool and Logan were able to be.

If it's an origin story, there is probably plenty of violence in clashing with the Assassin's Guild and if he runs into Sabretooth and the Marauders. I suppose you can have Candra in his origin and maybe Genevieve depending on how far it progresses but I would say his ladies man status was post Bella not before as I would think it should be Bella dying that causes him to give up on love and become the ladies man we know and love.

So personally I would like to see a progression in the movies as it's the harsh and tragic upbringing that makes the carefree ladies man less superficial as you realize that's part of his coping mechanism.  I think you lose some of the depth of the character if you don't show that if this is meant to be an origin story.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: cc008 on February 26, 2017, 09:26:06 AM
There could definitely be a higher amount of violence if it were an origin story. The assassins and thieves aren't exactly warm and fuzzy... especially towards each other. And the violence can get ramped up more if Sabretooth shows up. I would love for Liev Schreiber to reprise the role.  He's another way to fill the void that'll be left by Jackman's Wolverine.  You don't need Wolverine for Sabretooth, because we have Gambit  :gambit:

I'd like to see Fox keep all the grittier x-movies R-rated.. or at least attempt to. Logan, the Deadpool films, X-Force, and Gambit. And then have the main x-men films and new mutants pg-13.  I think that would be a good balance. I'm not saying Gambit NEEDS to be R.. but they don't need THAT big of a budget for a Gambit film and they'd be able to take more liberties with an R rating.

What if they make Sabretooth a recurring character? But that would assume that it gets more than one movie. The first movie and can be an origin movie, revolving around NOLA but by the final act of the movie is in Paris (or at least an equivalent, perhaps NY instead). The Genevieve story might be too convoluted if Belle is going to be present as an interest as well, so I guess the story can be tweaked. Perhaps Bella can accompany him on the heist (by choice or not), gets caught up and takes Genevieve's place as Sabretooth's captive. Now the question is, "who dies?" we follow the story and have Gambit save his brother or Belle? Being the cause or even involved in her death/murder would be enough to get him banished from NOLA imo, and even motivate a "death sentence" for him enough to be pursued by the Assassin's guild or at least a pissed off family member or two...

Assuming it gets a second movie, we could pick there, Gambit on the road alone and full brooding mode taking whatever job comes his way, powers flipping out all the way. He ends up taking up jobs he shouldn't and comes across a guy (Sinister) that can help him solve his issue and in return wants a errand run which does or doesnt lead to the Morlock Massacre and involves the Marauders or just Sabretooth. The final act would be him trying to stop what he initiated single handedly, which can undoubtedly very bloody and violent.

I kind of hope they do the first movie (provided it becomes a franchise), like Deadpool, in the sense that it's not a straight up chronological origin story. I hope they bounce around a little bit. Like maybe show Remy's involvement with the TG and then flash back to when he was a baby for a minute or flash back to when he was younger and the reason behind why he throws cards (I love that).

Introduce Sabretooth as the main villain, again hoping it'll be Schreiber because he would definitely bring some more star power to the film, which can't hurt. Then as the films transition from one to the other, we get reintroduced to Sinister and learn how fascinated he is with Remy's DNA. I doubt we'll ever get any of the New Son stuff, just like I doubt we'll ever see Deadpool and the Mithras story adapted. But there's more than enough story to make it a trilogy. And even if they decide not to go that way, I wouldn't be upset with getting a solo film and then have him added to the cast of the main x-films or the x-force films.

Who am I kidding? I'm ready for anything at this point.

I am not a big fan of Emma, really. And I don`t want her to lead team. She looks crazy

I like idea with flashbacks. It worked great for Deadpool and was easy to move fast from comdey to action or drama moments.

Yeah, I mean, it doesn't have to be exactly like Deadpool.. but I like the non-linear aspect of it.

And that's fair... but I think if it works out the way I hope... she'll be forming a team because she knows she needs to round up a group of seasoned veterans to continue do the work she feels necessary, while also knowing the people she recruits can keep her in check. Psylocke and Polaris can do that. So can Havok (the only one she's been open with) and Gambit is a much better people person than a lot give him credit for.

RessurXion is trying to stay away from terrigen plot as much as possible.
Emma`s team will be reminding the bad times.

I like the flashback idea. There's been enough 'origin' stories and he doesn't really need one, being a mutant and all.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: purplevit on February 27, 2017, 06:33:18 PM
For me his origin story was always more about Guilds war and  love with Bella and not about him being a mutant.

Mutant origin is mostly red eyes and that he was stolen from hospital.

Post by: remydat on February 27, 2017, 07:21:50 PM
What if they make Sabretooth a recurring character? But that would assume that it gets more than one movie. The first movie and can be an origin movie, revolving around NOLA but by the final act of the movie is in Paris (or at least an equivalent, perhaps NY instead). The Genevieve story might be too convoluted if Belle is going to be present as an interest as well, so I guess the story can be tweaked. Perhaps Bella can accompany him on the heist (by choice or not), gets caught up and takes Genevieve's place as Sabretooth's captive. Now the question is, "who dies?" we follow the story and have Gambit save his brother or Belle? Being the cause or even involved in her death/murder would be enough to get him banished from NOLA imo, and even motivate a "death sentence" for him enough to be pursued by the Assassin's guild or at least a pissed off family member or two...

Assuming it gets a second movie, we could pick there, Gambit on the road alone and full brooding mode taking whatever job comes his way, powers flipping out all the way. He ends up taking up jobs he shouldn't and comes across a guy (Sinister) that can help him solve his issue and in return wants a errand run which does or doesnt lead to the Morlock Massacre and involves the Marauders or just Sabretooth. The final act would be him trying to stop what he initiated single handedly, which can undoubtedly very bloody and violent.

Yeah I guess it depends on how quickly they progress through his origins.  I figured the first hour to hour and 15 minutes would be the Thieves and Assassin's Guild and would end with the wedding and exile.  Not sure it makes sense to show that for the whole movie.  

Then the next hour to hour and 15 would be his wandering and encountering Genevieve and Sabretooth.  I would probably depart from the comics a bit and have all three being a part of the Heist team maybe with Scalphunter, Claire, and a couple of non-mutants.  At this point they mutants in the group are hiding their powers from each other unaware that others are mutants as well.  Gambit is the playboy of the group while Sabretooth secretly loves Genevieve.  Long story short a heist goes wrong and Gambit has to choose between saving Sabretooth and Genevieve and chooses Sabretooth because trying to save Genevieve would have been riskier and more dangerous with Sabretooth.  So he plays the odds in trying to save Sabretooth first.  At that point Sabretooth ends up revealing his mutant powers letting Gambit know he should have gone after Genevieve instead of him.  They rush to save Genevieve but arrive too late resulting Sabretooth attacking Gambit revealing Gambit's mutant powers and setting up their rivalry.  That could be the climatic battle as those two battle it out with Gambit eventually winning but still feeling incredibly guilty.

That could then set the stage for the second movie in which Gambit is a loner now and just does jobs on his own with his powers starting to flare out of control.  That is how he ends up with Sinister and in exchange for Sinister's help, Sinister asks him to lead a heist team to steal something of importance from some bad people.  This team includes Scalphunter and Sabretooth but Gambit still feeling guilty over Genevieve and indebted to Sinister decides to agree to this request and hence that is how he ends up aiding the Marauders only later finding out those alleged bad people were the Morlocks and then the big battle is him taking them all on to no avail.  The movie can end with him wounded and saving Marrow.

In a big budget blockbuster, probably not as those tend to be feel good movies.  In modest budget action thriller then I don't see why not as those tend to have more twists and turns.  As long as Gambit does his fair share of ass kicking then taking a loss isn't too bad.  In your scenario it could just be that he defeats Sabretooth but then isn't aware his healing factor.  In my scenario, he would be taking on all the Marauders by himself so he can have a good showing against them and still lose.

I don't know if you have enough material there for both of them to be standalone movies.  You could probably have an entire movie focused on New Orleans and the Guilds but I think the Genevieve story probably needs to be part of some larger story.  It's not a love story but essentially a story of a con man getting someone to fall in love with him in order to steal from her all ending in her death.  We don't care all that much in the comics because we barely knew Genevieve and she is simply a plot device to move Gambit's character along but in a movie devoted to this story where the character of Genevieve gets a lot of screen time, I think it would turn off audiences.

I think Julian and Candra and Guilds must be villains in first movie. Sinister only to appear as Essex and should stay in shadows. No marauders.

Then in second movie let Gambit to join X-Men.
MM and marauders must be a secret. Sabretooth in mansion who knows secrets tells Rogue in flashbacks about Genevieve.
Genevieve story is only to build tention to Gambit/Rogue. Fights Sinister at the end with X-Men. MM and Marauders secrets revelead.
Left to die in Antarctica or changed to smth more logical but Remy won't stay with X-Men.

In third origin is revealed. He unites Guilds and fights someone like New Sun but not from alt reality Gambit.

Team X movies in future or X-Force between solos.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: remydat on February 28, 2017, 03:18:59 PM
Hmm, I think I prefer his solo movies to not deal with any of the X-men team stuff.  Let that be handled in the team films.  His solo should be about his origins or after he joins the X-men and if he still has solo movies then they should be about his time away from the X-men thieving.

You also have to consider the timing of when all these movies are coming out.  Right now we are looking at 2019 for the first Gambit film so most likely not until 2021 for a second Gambit film.  I know we didn't find out in the comics about his role in the MM until after he joined the team but my concern in waiting in the live films is that the gap between movies is so large that you'd literally be waiting like 7-10 years from now before we got to the the Mutant Massacre if it wasn't covered early in the main X-men films and/or a Gambit film.

So I think they are two realistic avenues for the Mutant Massacre.  The first would be the Mutant Massacre should be handled in the next X-men film told from the perspective of the X-men.  That movie should drop in 2018 or 2019 so right before or right after the first Gambit movie.  In that movie, the only villains we ever see are Sinister and the Marauders with perhaps an after credits scene teasing Storm bringing Gambit to the X-Mansion.  If this happens before the first Gambit film then you could have the Gambit film be Gambit recounting the story of his life to the X-men after being introduced to them via Storm.  Then you would probably have an X-men film in like 2020 or 2021 where Gambit is on a full member of the team as well as the second Gambit film where his relationship with Sinister and the Marauders and his role in the Mutant Massacre is revealed.  Perhaps after the climatic battle with the Marauders, Gambit encounters an amnesiac Storm which is how he ends up joining the X-men and leaves the audience knowing that both the X-men and Gambit were involved in the MM but without the Gambit and the X-men knowing about each other's involvement.

The other option IMO would be leaving the MM out of Gambit solo films but instead have the Mutant Massacre as part of a main X-men film but told from two different perspectives ie form the perspective of the X-men and from perspective of Gambit.  In this scenario then the 2nd Gambit film could be about his meeting Storm and their adventures together prior to him joining the X-men with again neither side aware of each other's role.

In the end, my point is I think you need to tackle it earlier because the longer you wait, the less likely it gets tackled at all just due to the fickle nature of movie making and the long time periods involved.  Hoping for it to be covered in like the 3rd Gambit movie or some the X-men movie in like 2024 is a bit wishful thinking IMO.

Well not sure the X-men franchise will stay in the past or even exist in their current form.  Seems like Deadpool, X-force, and New Mutants will all be in the present so I doubt they leave the X-men in the past.

I didn't think that was confirmed but just speculated on since Storm was suppose to be in it.  Then again so is Sunspot and last we saw him he was with Adult Storm in DOFP portrayed by a younger looking actor so I know they said people could be born earlier in the this new timeline but that's like a 20-30 year different in ages it seems.  Unless they just ignore that version of Sunspot.

No I think made the comment that New Mutants was in the present and so Purp was saying he thought it was the same time period as the main franchise not that Gambit would be in it.

Separate from that we were speculating that he would be in the main X-movies at some point but that would most likely be in future movies not the movies coming up in the next year or two.

I would think that the most logical step would be that within the next 2 movies (for each franchise) or so New Mutants, X-men, and X-force will all exist within the same time period.  In that scenario Reynolds can be the guy they build X-force around and Tatum can play the Wolverine role for the X-men team but given the run rate of the movies that's something like 5 years away or so in Tatum's case.

What if they do go ahead with 2nd movie ending with the massacre, but Gambit, somewhat succeeding, but not really, is dying of his wounds and is rescued by the X-Men? Either after the fight, or at the last minute saving him from a deathblow. Kind of end the movie there as a crazy cliffhanger moment we wouldnt have to wait 2 years to see continued (hopefully they'd either begin or already start filming the team movie at that point). It could cut right after they save him or with him waking up in the X-Mansion (Like Wolverine in DoFP) with let's say, whoever's playing Rogue standing over him (que insane theater cheering) or Wolverine, Beast etc. Either way, they'd have no way of knowing his involvement and not being able to read his mind, it wouldnt be revealed he's the one that brought the Marauders to the tunnels. Something that can play as a subplot in an X-Men team film, possibly with Sinister as the "big bad". I think this would work about as good the Wolverine/Striker conflict in X2, especially if Fox moves forward with throwing all their support behind Tatum as the centerpiece like they wanted before Deadpool. The X-Men save Gambit, and they bond with him as they nurse him back to health, fight alongside him, just to discover he's responsible for the very mess they rescued him from, not to mention dozens of mutant deaths and guilty of lying because he'd have to come up with some sort of story that shines a positive light as to why he was there in the first place.

I guess my only question would be how would they end up saving him and not realize he was somehow involved.  He's doesn't really fit the morlock type so what would be his reason for hanging around sewers?  Unless you change the location of the massacre in a way that makes Gambit and innocent bystander passing by.

The only other issue for me is that I would want Gambit to join the team with people being suspicious as that was part of his appeal ie whether the team could really trust him.  So naturally if they find him around the massacre, it would make that the thing for them to suspicious about rather than being suspicious about his being a thief.

 I really hope the mutant massacre is not touched in the movie even with a 100 foot pole. the event is too dark and is a recon of a story that was done better the first time by Claremont. They needed Gambit to have a secret and they chose the massacre.
Gambit should be introduced in a X-Men team movie that is hopefully well received. I am a bit nervous for Fox to go straight into a Solo, unless the movie is so good it will sell it self.

Without a straight answer I'm suspicious. They're all like "yeah check out x-men gold" but they didn't say yes he's joining a team which to me screams guest appearance. They don't like to actually say no when it comes to Gambit.

That's why he was the 'Prince of Thieves". He would over charged a lock... Or knowing that could happen, use the right tool. Be it a tool or hacking...

Back in the early 90s, he was super smart {Knowing Cajun, French, German, English and Japanese INCLUDING doing an convincing spy Old Kings London English accent as 'James Lord'.}. The man is f***ing smart and more than tr-lingual. According to 90s area stuff- {35, I dun know off old 94 stats book.} Gambit is 6'3, power of 8.6, agility of 9.8, psy power of 6.4, int of 8.9, int of 9.3. Yeah. The man was smart, and powerful. Smart enough to not draw attention as that he liked his work. That he taught to Stormy.

Screwed up or made the biggest U-turn in recent history in terms of a book's focus? Gambit seems to be regulated to fodder. Within his own solo and headlining team books he has most of his interactions with original characters and others we never see again. We know Asmus was denied access to several characters, and I still don't know what happened with PAD. We thought he was going somewhere with the Polaris relationship but that deadened with him assaulting her face like some creep... After being ignored for 2 or 3 issues. PAD didn't just let me down with his portrayal of Gambit, his whole story was just spinning it's wheels putting way too much attention on pet characters and garbage time stories. I don't have a problem with slow burn story telling. But at least focus it around characters people care about.

I don't mind slow burn story telling either, but the problem is it's damn near impossible for a writer to write a slow burn these days, because before they know it, they have to wrap up their story before the upcoming event which will either result in the relaunch or cancellation of the book.  Not defending PAD.  He should have realized he wasn't going to have 150+ issues on the new volume of X-Factor.

Agreed. And while I enjoyed the character style story telling, there wasn't enough action for the most part or very poorly ended stuff or just too convenient type endings. E.g. Georgia's parents thing. He would never have been allowed that long of a run with those sales. The volume that ended prior to All New had poor sales as well.

Favorable critical support helped carry the previous volume longer than it should have, especially when he dove into the Rictor/Shatterstar relationship. He's currently writing Spider-Man 2099, and that isnt doing all that well either... but thats freaking Spider-Man. It's as likely to be canceled as Captain Marvel.

Didn't PAD said that All New X-Factor story will be touched on Spider-man 2099 when the cancellation confirmed? Even he used the half of the final issue with it. I think that he just wanted to transfer the remaining readers to his favorite book.

I do like their idea of Sinister and Gambit as mentor and unwilling protege.  It would be kind of cool if they built a Gambit franchise around Sinister being his long term antagonist as it would give it something a lot of the other X-men films don't have.  I suppose you could say Charles vs Magneto but Magneto flirts with being good too much whereas this would be more of a pure good vs evil with the evil continually pushing Gambit into bad decisions.

That was a fun read! The Sinister angle seems like it would be the most rewarding for Fox, story wise. It would give them a chance to present a schemer and experimenter whose depravity surpasses, from the movies, Stryker's.

It would be pretty awesome if they went for a cleverness and not just persistence in a hero. They could do something like having the Thirty Six Stratagems as the basis of Remy's action, revealing it at the end sort of like Ocean's 11; a quick series of scenes showing the prior reckless actions, that Gambit is prone to, all had a purpose. If they have the book in the original Chinese, they have a quick way of showing two different characters took the time to learn another language; Gambit and whomever reads it. Which would be a cool way to introduce another of the X-Men.

I think the writer of the article has been lurking around here the CBR Gambit thread. Too many similar ideas. But it was oddly positive for CBR written Gambit-piece. I kept waiting for "but... " part that often accompanies adulation of the character.

I think they have to be careful not to put in too many characters and relationships in one film. There is so much material to work with that it's hard to lose sight and make it a mess. I'd go for the Sinister story with flashbacks of his history with his family and the guilds. And that leading into a new story in a sequel, tying in with the X-Men.

Of course. The Spider-Man movies have fallen victim to that time and time again. But if we got like.. Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth in one or two movies. And then someone like Brosnan (only because of speculation am I using his name) as Sinister in one or two movies with only a little overlap.. It would help promote the movie for sure.

I always thought Sinister should have been the X-Mens Nick Fury/ Agent Coleson, in that he's what links all the movies together. A good villain can be resilient, never really defeated or perhaps never really even engaged. Essex could have been behind the scenes pulling strings and even when having to enter the fray, not just end up "defeated". Mutants being what they were in the Fox universe, barely known until First Class, it would have fit for him be a shadow figure manipulating a group of people that don't really exist.

People are saying that Bunn could be the writer on this.  

Well, there's no evidence to suggest that so it's guesswork but folks on those forums are good at their guesswork.  But if it is Bunn, then chances of that being Gambit have increased!  

I've also just noticed that if you look at what folk are assuming is Gambit's staff, you can see the outline of his knuckles where he's holding on to it.  Classic that, him holding on to his staff and sort of leaning on it.  And is that his trenchcoat between OML's legs there?

Title: Re: Gambit Watch

That's disappointing, guys.

Do we still think that's Gambit? It still looks like a staff and trench coat. Although I thought rogues hair was his.

Man that was a blow to the chest.

Edit:  I should elaborate, since I'd just woken up and I was on my phone. 

So yeah, having Gambit on two teams would be awesome, Purp (although I'm not convinced Gold is more than a guest appearance for a few issues).  And to be honest, I wouldn't even mind having Rogue and Gambit on a team together if I trusted writers to make it work!  Duggan did alright with the two of them being a bit flirty but not having any angst.  So if it gets handled that way?  Fine, I'm down.  Asmus' take on the pair?  Awesome, let's do it. 

BUT aside from those two writers, they're handled awfully together.  Throw Mystique in there?  Yeah not so good.  Oh well, let's wait and see then. 
Title: Re: Gambit Watch

My guess this book will be relaunched Uncanny.
Archangel, Psylocke and Mystique stays from previous roster.
I am sure it is Gambit on cover down right.

Rogue can be in 2 books, teen Jean and Cyke are in 2 books,  Logan in 4 or 5, so Gambit can be in 2 books too.

I think we saw too many sketches with Gambit for Gold for it to be just a cameo.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Spoonz on March 08, 2017, 07:03:50 AM
I think for me the thought of Gambit being in 2 ongoing titles is too good to be true.  Happy to be proved wrong though. 

As for Gold, well I think yeah it'll be more than a cameo, when he's in it I think he'll be prominently featured.  But there just isn't much to indicate that he'll remain as a permanent member. 
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: cc008 on March 08, 2017, 08:11:06 AM
I think his appearances in Gold will help set up this new book.  And then it'll run as a sister title of sorts to Gold.. except better because the roster (even with Rogue, for those who hate her) is already infinitely better than the one in Gold lol.

I'm thinking OML sees how Kitty treats Gambit (this is just me spit balling and using the RB Silva posts as a basis) and is annoyed by it, so he recruits him for a separate team.

That's still has to be Gambit's outline... but I'm not excited at the idea of him being slipped underneath Rogue like that... and I'm a Romy fan! You're barely going to see him at all, if he's there. And if it's not him. THEY DID THAT @##$ ON PURPOSE. That outline better not disappear into a freaking pipe or something. That line of blackness is still too distinct to be anyone else unless intentionally placed.  And typically splash covers are representative of the focus of the book. The less you see the character, the less usage they will have in said book... unless you're Mike Carey. Then you're allowed to basically do whatever you want, despite covers and solicit summaries. It's crazy how this went from 'really cool' to 'wtf'. Why the @#@$ is Mystique an X-Man?

It looks like behind OML is Gambit and whoever (Betsy?  Deadpool?) both on their haunches either side, then Rogue and Mystique (boooooo!) standing behind them and then Cable and please god no but probably Fantomex standing up behind them.  

By the way, this is a very big team.

Well end of Wolverine game out and pretty much nothing in it for a Gambit fan unless you like beans.  Having seen the whole arc now, pretty much a waste of an appearance but par for the course for Marvel these days when it comes to Gambit.  Although X-23 is probably my second favorite character right now so it was worth it if you are interested in her.  Otherwise, no buy if you are only interested in Gambit.

Who knows? We don't even have the title of this comic yet, but I'm sure it's an ongoing.

I hope Deadpool is in this book and Marvel goes ahead with that rumored Deadpool/Rogue relationship. Free Gambit up to compete with Warren for Psylocke. *sigh* Marvel's much more likely to ride nostalgia with Betsy/Warren and Romy crap though.

All complaining aside though, this must be an ongoing since they wouldn't do this much fanfare for a limited or mini.  AND this is Gambit finally on a team with A-List characters in a book that looks like it will be a central focus.  Let's at least be happy about that for now and hope they don't screw it up :)

True ... and its not an awful line either. I actually like several of the team members.

Gambit (of course)
Psylocke
Bishop
Archangel
OML (would prefer the one I like the best - but .... on the other hand) - the jokes Gambit may make could be hilarious.



I'm really excited about this cast... except for Fantomex and Mystique. But the fact that we have 4 stealth-based characters, 5 if you count OML, kinda shows where this may be headed. Soule can hit or miss, big miss if you count IvX, I just hope he can juggle a cast this size. No character her is a "support" type. They are all frontline action.

Fantomex noooooo!  Dude sounds like a feminine hygiene product!

I have mixed feelings.  Some of this cast is balls out awesome, some of it really isn't.  I'm looking at you, Fantotampax and Mystique. 

But if we're lucky then we get some cool Gambit and Bishop interaction, or Gambit and Betsy.  I really hope this writer is down with his character research because Gambit and Bishop especially have awesome history together. 

Anyway, I've only read the first line of that Marvel article and it's like "the hardest hitting mutants!" and we're sitting here with freakin' Mystique and Fantomex!!!  Lies, I tell ya.

Not a fan of Soule but who knows maybe he will surprise me in a good way with hid Gambit.

Then I hope that Mistique and Fanto are not part of team.

Between the potential Psylocke/Archangel/Fantomex and Rogue/Mystique/Gambit melodrama, this book could be an absolute disaster.

This would have been much better if Weapon X and this book were merged into one with the cast being Old Man Logan, Psylocke, Gambit, Domino, Bishop, Archangel and Lady Deathstrike.

Agreed on the disaster stuff. That stuff holds no appeal. Not sure how it will be handled, we'll be able to tell with first issue.

Agreed. I suppose it could be okay but .... that means not all of the issues will be needed imo because I'm not going to buy story about a "cast" I'm not vested in. :)

I think this is going to work in the book's favor to be completely honest.

I do like the cast, overall. I'm not going to harp on Deadpool not being in the book anymore, although it seriously bums me out. With Soule writing, who I also like and can look past IvX because I've enjoyed far more books from him than disliked.

I'm excited to be reading Gambit in an ongoing series again and I'm excited he's with OML and Psylocke especially.

And Soule is the one that created that Gambit clone of a sidekick for Daredevil?! Now he's writing a book with yet another Gambit clone in it and Gambit? I was really starting to look forward to this. All that hope about this meaning he wasn't going to be foil in Gold seems to be all for not. If he may still turn out to be a cad.

I didn't say it's no continuity, and it DEFINITELY counts. It's just that I'm trying to make it VERY new-reader friendly.

Right - may not be for people looking for perfectly aligned continuity. It's there, but it's loose. As I said, I'll take the hit.

The continuity thing annoys me. This isn't creator owned stuff. It's something unique to comics and it should be followed. Writers calling it a crutch or non-necessity bugs me. It's not just him, but he's doing that now, and that's annoying.

I think Gambit will be a series regular in Gold where this book will probably be more like that X-Men Unlimited series back in the early-mid 2000s where it stared the same characters in a rotational format that had individual one off stories that didn't deal with storylines currently happening. I hope that's what he's referring to instead of, "Eff their publication history. I got this." Haha

New @#$##$$_ readers? New @#$#$#& there are no new readers! Not enough to base your readership around! What the @$$#?! So we're just ignoring more @#$# to make people that don't exist more interested? They pick a bunch of classic characters (except Fantomex) steeped in lore to appeal to NEW readers?

I'm starting to think that because OML is in gold, this book is going to be treated much like the last volume of AST. Side missions and plots ignored by all the other books. Kinda like Wolverine and friends. Is Rogue set to continue in UA? That'd be another sign. This cover may just be another bait and switch. Mystique may be in then book as much as she was in Uncanny, Gambit might only show for a panel here and there. Bishop might be around for the first two arcs seeing as I think he's the one they will be "rescuing". This might just end up being OML with Psylocke and Archangel with Fantomex tagging along. Everyone else might just be glorified cameos. Marvel doing this day by day reveal just for Soule to say "it's not the roster, just the cast" throws mixed signals and has really dampened my expectations. I expect nothing. Was a OML solo announced?

From what we heard about Astonishing I think that maybe all cast will have their own small solo stories in different places that will cross on some places and with one villain?
I think Soule is planning to do X version of Game of Thrones.
Really excited what he had planned for Gambit

If my guess about small solo stories will be right then i think we will have more then 1 artist. For example Gambit stories will be drawn by Clay Mann, Logan by Sorentino, Rogue by Larraz etc. So we will have a few artists on one issue.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: cc008 on March 11, 2017, 07:13:16 AM
That would be a different/interesting way of storytelling... I'm not sure how successful it'd be, as OML already has a solo and I'd only be interested in reading some of the arcs then. Actually, really only Gambit. I'm not invested enough in anyone else on the roster to spend money to read their parts of the book if it's broken down that way.

Yes, but the masses that vote for these things won't know/care about that.  Heck they get time to prepare, I'd give Gambit an edge over Jean Grey any day of the week because of his natural resistance to telepathy but that's something people won't take into consideration.  That or he'll think of some way to distract her, cardboard cut out of Scott or Logan or whatever.  

*sound snippet from XTAS on a hidden speaker*: "JEEAN!"
Phoenix: "SCOTT!"
Gambit blows her up when she's not looking.  The end.

It's hard to tell, because yes if it's a guest appearance it usually says "guess starring" somewhere, but they also usually make a song and dance about any new members joining the team.  It's weird.  No way to figure it out right now though.  So far I'm still getting the feeling that he's only in one arc, but I guess we won't know until we get it in our hands. 

On a side note, were they not building up to Gambit reappearing in Uncanny Avengers?  Whatever happened to that?  More lead up to nothing?

Abso-##$#_&#-lutely nothing. Duggan completely trolled us and possibly Magneto fans. Deadpool says he went to the X-Men mansion but didn't find anyone... I didn't know the whole toxic terrigen cloud thing was a secret because he didn't seem to know the X-Men weren't there or neither Magneto not Gambit would be there even if it was. There are a few logic disasters not worth talking about. Magneto should be actively tracked by SHIELD, this accessible through Avenger lines and Gambit SHOULD be intertwined with Guild stuff, so getting in contact with him shouldn't be hard with someone like Deadpool is a freakin mercenary for hire ie underworld connections.

I don't think he was really trolling the magneto fans because magneto had never shown up or been mentioned before that one issue and it's entirely possible deadpool wouldn't have been able to find him (because he definitely wouldn't answer if deadpool called him ;)

I think the cable fans felt somewhat trolled. Since cable 'erased' his mind to keep red skull out and the next cover showed cable and red skull fighting on the astral plane. And it's hat didn't happen at all and cable is still erased.

The solicit for Gold #6 says a member of the team may die. I don't want to get my/anybody's hopes up for Gambit appearing after this arc, but maybe he replaces the the team member that dies if that happens?

If a team member does indeed die, who do you think it would be? Not Kitty as she's the new face of the X-Men/mutants. Gambit and Old Man Logan are safe in Astonishing. Kurt died not that long ago so it might be too soon again. I don't think it would be Rachel since it would be pointless to bring back a character, redesign her and give her a new codename just to kill her off in two months. That leaves Storm and Colossus. Poor Piotr would be my guess. Gotta have some drama for the new leader of the X-Men by killing off one of the most important people to her.

There exists a vein of characters who are or should mainstream characters but are ignored for the same 10 characters. Rachel is such a character and does not need to die. Even when in main titles and marketed as a team member, she's barely used. You want someone to die? Let's look at: Storm, Iceman, Colossus, Nightcrawler (again lol), Wolverine (X-23), OML, Shadowkat, Magik, Psylocke, Emma, any of the O5, Magneto. Characters like Rachel, Northstar, Bishop, Polaris, Havok, Chamber, Frenzy, Armor, Gambit, Sage, Warpath, any of the New X-Men, Forge etc need as much panel time as possible.

http://www.cbr.com/gambit-cyclops-mister-sinister-chris-claremont-clone/?utm_source=CBR-TW&utm_medium=Social-Distribution&utm_campaign=CBR-TW&view=list

Gambit was never intended to be a clone of Cyke. LOL

The rest of the article is odd.

I dunno, Claremont originally wanted him to be villain. Making him a clone would also open the door to villainy as he would be expendable. He did make Gambit a clone of sorts in "The End". He wasn't a clone of Cyclops, but of Sinister with Summers DNA derived from Cyclops mixed into his genome, to facilitate the ability to control vast  amounts of power or energy. That mini, how off the wall it was, or wasnt, is the how the X-Men would come to it's end through the eyes of Claremont... I thought it was good and tragic story as long as you didn't let yourself get too wrapped into "should" and "should nots".

CHARLES SOULE LAYS OUT HIS ASTONISHING MUTANT LANDSCAPE

https://news.marvel.com/comics/62313/charles-soule-lays-astonishing-mutant-landscape/

Nothing new really.

Charles Soule: I’ve said this before, but this book doesn’t have a team. It has a cast. It doesn’t have a leader, either. It’s like a novel, or a film, or a TV series. There are characters who are more or less prominent from scene to scene, but this isn’t a story about superheroes coming together with a shared goal to fight bad guys, with a base, and cool coordinated costumes and so on. This is a bunch of flawed, extremely powerful individuals who find themselves in the same place at the same time as something very intense and potentially world-ending happens. Then, we see what they do next. It’s a pretty cool ride, I think.

Man... maybe if Astonishing turns out the way it sounds, with all these different artists and smaller stories, I WILL read Gold if Gambit sticks around there. I'll take continuity over what Soule's been describing any day.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Nekobaghira on March 28, 2017, 09:16:39 AM
What Soule is describing could bite him with this book. Conceptually, sounds different than the usual story telling in a Marvel book.

Fans are fickle, they are fickle with TV shows too. I hope he realizes that.

Even in shows with large ensembles, you've got to give the fans something. Those shows do that, they make sure all the plot lines get some attention while driving the overall main plot. If he does by arc and not split or move the other story along ... he's only going to get fans for that group of "actors" for his story.

Basically, he's going to have to split his 20 pages to keep everybody sort of happy with this cast. Not that it can't be done, A+X was able to pull that off. Splitting the pages seems to me the way to go. Splitting would also explain so many artists to get the book out on time.


We won't know until the first issue is out, previews won't help in this case.

We still know nothing about book really. Need more information.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on March 28, 2017, 11:33:51 AM
So... A satellite book. A collection of short stories with a revolving cast, no true focus, that will probably have no bearing on the outside world and is only slightly steeped in continuity. This could be interesting or extremely pretentious.

I can see why telling us any information could be... precocious. I don't think there will any real arcs but a single story being told over an unforseen measure of time. A synopsis of the book would be confusing and probably have 3 to 4 plot points. This could be good or a huge cluster @#_$ of characters acting unlike themselves for the sake of a story.

Trying to summarize the book would be like giving someone of synopsis of Game of Thrones or 90210. There are like 7 to 10 characters all doing different things but heading in the same direction, more or less. Some stories matter more than others but it's all relevant.

Thats my thinking too Don. The cast gets into a situation, how they get there is the story, while a background plot rolls along.

With the X-Line in shambles, I wonder why Marvel still chooses to keep Gambit on the sidelines and refuses to give him a steady role? Astonishing X-Men isn't a team book, supposedly? SMH, Gambit as a guest star is wearing extremely thin to me.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on April 07, 2017, 05:01:22 PM
I've actually been hoping he'd end up outside of the X-Men, like a recurring role in Secret Avengers, or Hawkeye, maybe Daredevil, or all three. His connection to the underworld as a X-Man is so underutilized it's shame. He's one of the few that can logically function outside of the X-Men books and even be a bridge for other characters while are X-Men themselves but not dependent such as Frenzy.

Yeah it was back when we thought Marvel had the cojones to reset their universe and a bunch of thought Gambit have been de-aged and been made DDs apprentice. Which is the only way we would have accepted it. Because a grown man has no reason being the sidekick of another grown man he's actually matched in combat. But no. We got a body double down to the head sock, colors and staff.

Or Fantomex, the more novice thief screws up, Gambit being the head of the guild is told of it, decides to get involved and then seeks the X-Men out for help.

Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on April 23, 2017, 09:03:20 AM
The sad thing is, it's obvious that various writers and editors visit the forums of several large websites such as CBR (and even here!). Between that, twitter and conventions, they know Gambit has fans and they want to see him... I don't think they quite grasp the fact that we'd like to see him not be a loser all the time. In his last 4 appearances in the role of "thief", he's either needed help, or just completely botched whatever he was doing;

ANXF: Wolverine catches him and berates him
Storm: Needs her help (probably the only acceptable feature, though he was a bit clumsy and ill-informed)
UA: Rogue somehow finds him with Hamburgler's cousin, doing some low-level ish and then busts him for it.
X-Men Gold: Now he screws up another heist and needs help fixing it?

Not sure if we can count what we saw during ... what the heck was that last nonsense event? Civil War II! Still not sure if was there to counter Fantomex or do what Fantomex was sent to do? I guess he won that, if not somewhat clumsily.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Spoonz on April 23, 2017, 12:22:55 PM
At least some writers keep the flame alive and write him as competent.  Asmus obviously wrote his as amazing and then Bunn made him out to be pretty good (sneaking up on Fanto, although you know, any self respecting Gambit fan wouldn't really see that as much of an achievement for the Cajun). 

So there are writers who get it.  Or maybe these other writers need an excuse for Gambit to seek help and they're not creative enough or too lazy to think of anything other than he messes up and needs bailed. 

Claremont did it fine, when Gambit needed help he just ASKED for it, because they were his friends and were willing to be there for him.  They even followed his lead. 

Speaking of Storm, I've never really agreed with her being a better thief than him.  I don't pretend to know much about her history but didn't Gambit pretty much teach her for a while?  And even if she used to be a professional, Gambit's been at it loooong since she stopped.

So the next arc of XMG is the Gambit story. Any thoughts? I'm not sure what to expect from this personally. The fact that the arc springs from yet another Gambit screw up, while stealing, doesn't give me too much confidence that Guggenheim is going to give him a fair shake in terms of characterization... I was already a little on edge from the fact the guy that wrote seasons 3 and 4 of Arrow (the worst of the series) was going to be doing this, but at the same time, someone that writes Arrow should be right at home using a character like Gambit, a street level, more visceral character than rest of his normal cast.

When is the issue out, next month?

I was excited for it until the Gambit screwing up thing came to light. Now I'm doing the wait and see game.  If Gambit is good and competent for the rest of the issue I could be cool with it.

I actually like it, it's dark.  And heck I'll take skeleton Gambit front and centre! 

See the internal art, it's so small I can't make out exactly who is sitting there.  Is it Gambit and Rogue behind OML and Fanto?  Who is the other guy? 

Well at least we know Gambit is in the second issue.  Such a big team, there are going to be characters sidelined.

Classic-looking Gambit, I like it! 

This art is waaaay better than the guy on the first issue.  If they would just keep this artist that would be better. 

I dunno, this series looks to have things in it that are going to make it hard for me to like it: constantly rotating artists, not really a core team, no real connection to past continuity.  The large 'cast' thing is what bugs me the most, I mean, some characters are going to get left out for at least a few issues sometimes, and obviously I'm going to wait and see if Gambit is in them before I buy it.  And I'm sure others will do the same, either for Gambit or other characters.  That's not going to reflect well on sales. 

I don't know why Soule is trying to reinvent the wheel here.  Just give us an awesome team book!

X-MEN GOLD: SENTINEL EVOLUTION

https://news.marvel.com/comics/65311/x-men-gold-sentinel-evolution/

Marc Guggenheim: This arc, in several ways, is about pushing the X-Men as far as they can go; pushing them towards their breaking points. For Gambit, who is sort of responsible for this new Sentinel—not on purpose, just through something that had unintended consequences—this is going to be a hard arc for him.

Marvel.com: What else do you say to readers about why they can’t miss this latest arc of X-MEN: GOLD?

Marc Guggenheim: It’s a few things. First of all, the big return of Gambit who we haven’t seen in the pages of X-Men in a while. He’s just a blast. He’s fun to write and I think he’s fun to read. A lot of the story gets kicked off because of his involvement.

15 Superheroes Who DESTROYED Wolverine

15. GAMBIT

Towards the end of his run on Uncanny X-Men, writer Chris Claremont was doing a long-running subplot (that was basically abandoned once Claremont left the series) about Wolverine’s healing powers not working properly and about the hero slowing down in general. This was highlighted by a story that came out during a time when the X-Men were disbanded where Wolverine was captured and crucified by the Reavers. Only the intervention of a young mutant by the name of Jubilee saved his life.

When the team got together, Wolverine clashed with new teammate, Gambit, in Uncanny X-Men #273 (in a sequence drawn by the great Michael Golden) and Gambit took Wolverine apart easily. Wolverine had a victory in a rematch with Gambit during the Muir Isle Saga, but as it was handled by a different writer, it didn’t really feel like much of a conclusion to the character arc.

Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on May 23, 2017, 01:21:56 PM
Hmm... I spoke on this over on CBR, but some of us were onboard this "story over continuity" ship because I guess they figured the writers would use it in the way they hoped, not realizing that they may do things like possibly make Gambit and Fantomex buddies (presumably, we don't know if that's going to happen yet), or as we've seen, Gambit a bumbling attempted hero, screwing up the one thing he's supposed to be famous for, doing something he actually shouldn't be doing given his current status, but I can and have said the same about his last 4 guest appearances. The only one that kind of made sense was his Civil War II stint in which he gets knocked out by his ex-girlfriend's mother, via sucker punch. These are comics and at the end of the day, letting a writer pick and choose what they want to ignore or embrace is bad practice, especially because Marvel editorial is so weak these days. Nothing, even amongst "top tier" characters, is consistent, what makes anyone think that that approach would fair well for a character coming out of forced obscurity? I say 'forced' because Gambit had no reason to disappear. He's a got a strong fan following among hardcore readers and nonreaders alike.

she kissed Gambit to remind him that people see him as a good man or to remind herself of something, but we don't know what that is ( im 100% sure it has nothing to do with being in love with Remy or anything like that), man Guggenheim nailed this relationship and highlighted how much it sucks not having these to interact more, Storm never took s*** from Remy and refused to let him be self loathing she was and is his best friend on the X-Men. Even after the MM reveal Storm who was then leader of the Morlocks had a very god reason to be pissed with him and there was nothing, she missed him and talked him into returning to the x-men. Its like his secret was revealed and in stead of anger she had sympathy....God damn it i want these two in a book together just pal ing around robbing stuff

oh yeah edit bit, my only complaint more of a niggle is he never called her Stormy but i chalk that up to it being a super serious situation he caused leaving no time for him to joke around

Storywise - it wasn't bad for a 3 issue arc. It was heavily about Kitty and Rachel but that was okay. The Storm/Gambit stuff in #6 was good. I don't regret having these issues or going out and buying them. Keep in mind, in the end ... not much Gambit.

Then there is the creating the issue for the team to solve and not part of helping in the solution. I saw those comments on CBR and well, I can't debate it.

Gambit was used for a plot device and in general wasn't a very good appearance for him.

He made a mistake that really blew up in his face, and there is no going back on it.

I dunno guys - Gambit is just written horribly so much of late, he is not the character we know and love.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on June 28, 2017, 08:07:56 AM
Weak editorial. There's a theory crafted by a Youtuber called "Diversity and Comics". He says Marvel has been burned so many times in the past (starting with the Image exodus in the early 90s), that they don't allow too many people to have power, so if they leave it doesnt hurt them. It's why Bendis is really the only "star" writer. He's a company man with interest vetted into the company. He isnt going anywhere. But he pointed out that any time a book does really well under a writer or creative team, the book is canceled somewhere before 30 issues or so (unless it's an Avengers book, then the creative team just switches up), the writer and/or artist are moved to something else, and the process is repeated until you hear about them pursuing "creator owned" properties or just working with DC or a smaller publisher. He cited several instances and it's holding up pretty well (Remender, Hicks, Mann; to name a few). With this revolving door of creators the editors dont have much control over the books, especially over star writers like Bendis who basically does whatever he wants. There are only a handful of editors that oversee the offices, like Ketchum was over the X-Men, before being fired. Under them, are even less powerful assistant editors (typically between 21 and 25 years old), which do most of the work in terms of fact checking, and continuity assurance... These assistant editors are many and don't last long. Most are afraid of making a mistake or upsetting anyone. Vast majority, if not all, operate out of the NYC office, which I hear is a place of fear and dread. No one wants to lose their foot in the door and know they are expendable. They aren't going to call out their book's writer on something that's less than accurate. In turn we get characterizations and interactions that generally don't hold up properly when scrutinized.

With the 2nd run of the Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe foolishness, we saw that he kills someone that vaguely resembles Gambit, written by someone that claimed to be a fan of his. So is it official that Gambit is now some sort of running joke over at Marvel? From what we got of the dialogue (all dialogue is a look into the writer's opinion), killing Gambit off in these little self contained stories is source of entertainment. Everytime they use Gambit in anything I get ready to cringe.


The current crop doesn't have a high opinion of him and basically ignore anything that doesn't add up to their narrative and the group coming up after them seems to be infatuated with TAS version, probably mostly because he's been mishandled since 07 with only one exception (the Asmus run). I'm beginning to dread the idea of him being lost in the shuffle forever.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if he went the way of Captain Marvel. Disappear utterly and completely, until such a time that someone with a passion for Gambit can write him.


I am kind of falling into the idea that I would rather there never be a Gambit movie than a bad one.


Comic Gambit kind of comes off as a punching bag. Akin to the Deadpool Kills, I remember seeing a snippet with MODOX using his psychic powers to pop Gambit's head, sometime during that battle universe thing

Re: Deadpool kills...




It's a Deadpool Kills mini. Characters aren't going to exactly be shown in their best light. And yes, Gambit is a favorite of Bunn's.. so he's going to write him into his books any chance he gets. Even if it means killing him in an AU. It doesn't bother me at all.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on July 02, 2017, 02:56:36 PM
I know the Deadpool fan in you wants to defend this, but at what point did Bunn write Gambit in this? He wrote Gambit like Jubilee was in X1. Yeah she was there... If you know what scene to scan. This didn't look like the efforts of fan of the character. This did nothing for him outside of actually furthering the clowning of a character who really didn't need anymore help in that department. I wouldn't have had a problem with Gambit fighting and dying by Deadpool hands in a comic in which is the central point. That not what we got and that's not Bunn "writing" Gambit. The lack of visual authenticity doesn't help. What artist/colorist that supposed to work for Marvel within the X-office doesn't know Gambit's eye color?


You can be a Gambit fan and be cool with something like this but when it keeps happening... Supposed to be like, "oh well"? Well I guess yeah. Gambit the chump is common place now. Here's hoping that Soule writes him as being as competent as at least Squirrel Girl.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: purplevit on July 02, 2017, 04:03:49 PM
Don't care about some alt mini where Deadpool kills everyone but if you will read Civil War II X-Men #4 you will never guess that writer likes Gambit.


Get his jaw broken by Mystique? It is ridiculous.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: cc008 on July 02, 2017, 05:08:08 PM
Bunn didn't clown Gambit here and he didn't clown him in Civil War II either for that matter. Which I still have non problem saying I thoroughly enjoyed.  Sure, he's not being used as often as we'd like and for the most part hasn't been shown in the best light, but there are far worse occurrences recently than Civil War II to be hung up on. 


This new DP mini is exactly that. A DP mini. In an alternate reality nonetheless. My reaction would be the same if it were a "Wolverine Kills" or "Punisher Kills" or anything else of the same vein.  Should we expect backlash from Spidey fans when Wade fires a bullet in his head from point blank rage.. or from Cap or Cyclops fans when Wade finds some sadistic way to take them out in a mature rated, alternate universe comic with the words "Deadpool kills" in the title?  Bunn likes Gambit. So however he can fit him into a story he's writing, he'll do it. That's all there is to it. Anyway he can find a way to have a version of Gambit in his comics, he's going to find a way to do it. If he ends up writing Gambit into X-Men Blue, I guarantee it'd be fantastic.


I'm not defending the mini as a Deadpool fan because I'm not even going to buy it. I can't afford all the Deadpool books plus everything else I want to read, so I stick to the ones that matter. I'm defending Bunn as a writer who clearly enjoys sticking Gambit into his stories. Which I'm all for as a Gambit fan.


Being mad about the colorist and editor screwing up his eyes AGAIN is one thing. Being peeved about Gambit getting a whole page in a Deadpool Kills mini, where characters are dying left and right... eh.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on July 02, 2017, 07:38:58 PM
Your looking at it from the small pic. It's just a mini, yeah duh. I see it as; Gambit hasn't looked good outside of the Asmus solo and in like handful of panels, not books or pages, panels. To the person picking up a book who isn't familiar with the character pre-Blood of Apocalypse is going to just know him as this. This is yet another negative on the Gambit brand. Which is not doing well. While X-Men seem to be rebounding he looks to be just holding on. I'd rather he not get used than be used like this.


I'm in marketing. I know how the human brain reacts to stimuli and what the result of conditioning can do. Anybody remember what happened to Ja Rule's career? Or Sony Pictures a couple years back? Bad marketing. 50 Cent, a giant in hip-hop at the time continuously dragged Ja Rule and Murda Inc through the mud for months maybe even years to the point they became a running joke in the industry. Sony's professional name got tarnished due to a hack that exposed hundreds of unsavory emails. They almost went bankrupt. All that bad publicity that just wouldn't go away. It was worse in Ja Rules case because he never recovered (same story with Cannibus and Eminem. Who the hell is Cannibus? Exactly LOL), while Sony Pictures is as healthy as ever.


I'm not complaining about this piece of straw, I'm annoyed by the bail hay on his back. And no, the Civil War showing didn't blow me away but it wasn't the worst thing in the world. Still don't by him being KOed by Mystique, but whatever...
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: cc008 on July 03, 2017, 09:25:03 AM
I understand where you guys are coming from.. like I said over at CBR, I just really don't think THIS instance is one to lose sleep over. That's all. Everything else that's gone on.. from X-Men Gold to not coming back in Uncanny Avengers to his eyes still never being the right color to Peter David's juvenile comments.. that's all fair game and completely annoying.


And I definitely understand human reaction to stimulus and conditioning... 8 years of psychology and mental health schooling will do that to you. So for newer readers.. when they see THIS type of Gambit over and over.. it's what they come to expect. And it sucks, I agree. In the big picture, it stinks that this is what it's come to. Letting an appearance in a mini series about Deadpool Killing every single Marvel Universe character get to us even more about it isn't worth it.

Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Nekobaghira on July 19, 2017, 01:32:40 PM
Just so you know why these covers cost as much as they do ..... its an ordering thing from Marvel.

The Gambit/Rogue was a 1 in 100 order. In order for shops to get that cover they have to order 100 copies of Astonishing Xmen. I did get the cover, it was $75 ... I have a limit on what I'll spend but I do like that cover.

Now ... for the cover with Jim Lee/card cover ... which you find for $1000 or more is because the shop that ordered it, had to order 1000 copies of Astonishing Xmen.

These shops have to find a way to re-coop their spending and the only way to do that is up the price on the variant.

Seriously, these shops are stuck with copies of books that will not leave the shop. My shop won't sell all copies of Astonishing it ordered to get ONE cover of Gambit/Rogue variant. To get two of that, the shop would have had to order another 100 copies.

Its a horrible business model and a total loss for shops and fans.

The Dodson cover was cheaper (Psylocke/Fantomex) but again ... the price is upped to cover the amount of issues sitting on the shelf.

Now, when we the sales numbers for July and where Astonishing Xmen lands .. which if there were places who ordered 1000 to get a cover to sell for $1000. The number is inflated. It won't actually be based on how many purchased the book by the consumer because its distribution based.

Personally, I think they could release a close up shot of his eyes with black sclera, red iris's, and black pupils and maybe a piece of hair hanging in front as an early teaser shot and people would flip and start getting excited. Just my opinion.

That has always been a concern of mine. That they think his eyes will be off putting or confuse the audience because he looks "evil" or something. It's why they didn't do it in Wolverine Origins. But times have changed. And you're right about Deadpool being ugly and not to mention his eyes are just white when he is in full costume. Ever since Channing Tatum was announced to play Gambit I've asked girls who are fans of his what they would think if he was in a superhero movie and he had the black and red eyes. If it would bother them. And they have all said no and in fact most said it sounds kind of "hot". So there should be no reason not to do it at this point.

Came across this on my phone update tab; http://www.xavierfiles.com/ (http://www.xavierfiles.com/)


...Got to the section that displayed the end pages from Uncanny X-Men #350. Reminded me why so much of you guys detest Rogue. Also reminded me how hamfisted the writers were for writing that action in the story, which just didnt make any sense. If they had used a narration box to explain she was still under the effect of her powers (absorbing Gambit's self hatred), it may have been a lighter hit. But that was inserted after the fact when editorial (remember when editors had the power the do that?! lol) forced them to put him back in the books due to fan demand (remember when fan demand meant something to Marvel!?). What a @#@$$. Left him to fend for himself without even a shirt and wearing metal boots!? In the snow!? And she dropped him! "I wouldn't let you die in there", no, that'd be too swift and basically painless. Die slowly and dreadfully out here in a frozen wasteland. Man @#@$ the X-Men... Not a single one of them even asked what happened to him? like;


"Hey, thats messed up... I cant wait to have words with the Cajun" - Wolverine


"Well he's not here"


"Where is he?"- Wolverine


"Think Rogue left him there..."


"Where?" -Wolvie


"In Antarctica."


"So... uh dead then, right?"


"Nah he was alive..."


"...someone gonna go get him?"


"I dunno... maybe"


"... ??? "


"what?"

"Well, I guess his armor has thermo gear..."


"..."

"What? No gear?"

"He had pants..."

"Well #@$# it."

"Yeah, that's what we said on the way back."

That would have been too easy IMO, but a narration box having Gambit's thoughts in it while she flew away or spoke to him would have absolved the situation better, especially if he condemned himself and accepted it. It was an emotional moment that the writers didn't take advantage of. Instead just wrote Rogue being an irrational @#@!$ and uncharacteristically leaving him to die.

In a way, they went hard in the opposite direction. During the trial proper, they had a little panel of Rogue, angry, with Gambit's eyes, and charging a card. When she leaves him, she has her own eyes again and is melancholy. It makes it seem like she is completely self possessed when she abandons him.

I like this idea better than both. It's more subtle, which I think things like this should be. Let the reader wonder. But in this case they left us to make up our own story until it was explained later on. Having her say a couple words the way Gambit would, would have been a great find.

I was really skeptical about this video because every time this guy mentions Gambit he speaks about him in a very condescending fashion. He's obviously one of those "the 90s sucked"- people. But he did a good job on the profile even while taking a couple expected jabs at him.

I agree that he doesn't like 90s era but did well with Gambit. He didn't give information about Witness, telephatic resistance etc. but thats good for people to learn about Gambit's potential.

Post by: bigstupidjellyfish on August 06, 2017, 05:30:38 PM
He's actually a 90s guy. Got into comics with the X-Men. I checked his Twitter when he did the poll for this and he seemed pretty into Gambit.


I think the condescending stuff comes from him being anti-Fox. He gets hyped about DC stuff but he's kinda unhype about Marvel too (except for the Marquis of Death video).

I'm not basing my opinion of him on this video. I'm subscribed to the channel and I've heard him take jabs at Gambit several times. I even asked what his objection to him was. Didn't get an answer but I wasn't expecting one. It's why I'm shocked the video was a good as it was, but you can tell his real feelings about the character if you cut through the BS. To be honest, getting into comics during the 90s doesn't make you a "90s fan". It just meant your started reading around that particular era... He's not all bad. He's got a childlike enthusiasm. He gets excited over even the new Marvel books and has some sjw tendencies (the stuff that's killing Marvel?). But his passion and ability to narrate are undeniable. I enjoy his stuff. But no, if you're a regular viewer you know he's not much of a Gambit fan. Which is fine.

lol. The funny thing about it, its rooted in something noble. I'm not among the majority demo for comics (black, Jamaican/Bahamian-American), I get what some would like to see. Problem comes when those same people feel entitled, or even worse, the need to champion that entitlement in the name of others, most who aren't even asking for it. Another killer are the types who just want to use this medium and platform as a way to make noise, but don't truly have any interest in it. In turn the comic companies take these types, give them influence of the books by either letting them write, edit or conform to their wishes in hopes of tapping into the crowd. A crowd that doesn't buy/read comics for extended periods of time. All the while alienating their core audience and giving new readers a false impression of what the books are supposed to be about.

In my mind's eye ... Gambit's BD is on Aug 20th ... I picked that date because back then I think the release date of the Mackie mini was listed then.

I think we should do some art thing or whatever ... post an appreciation celebrating his birth as it were. What do you want to do?

DonPriceTag is making a Matrix joke and Sheba is making a Reddit reference. Probably. Definitely something lost in translation though.

I think it did, which is why I picked the 20th. I wrote it down somewhere and that date is stuck in my head. I just pick it now for his anniversary. :) (Which means I'm confusing #266 with Mackie's mini.) LOL

I think for Gambit anniversary, we could post quick fics or pics we find.  ;D

Not sure if you know about AO3 .... Archive of Our Own ... has a lot of fics, the Xmen section is kind of thin but sometimes there is stories there, that are not on fanfiction.net

I know we've got a few who love fanfic. Gambit doesn't have his own section or anything on AO3.

FABIAN NICIEZA On 30 Years In Comics, DEADPOOL's Success, & NFL SUPERPRO's Chances For a Return


https://www.newsarama.com/36105-fabian-nicieza-on-30-years-in-comics-deadpool-s-success-nfl-superpro-s-chances-for-a-return.html


Nrama: Deadpool is a big star now, and some of your X-Force creations are coming into their own now. Are there other characters you created or co-created that you think would do exceptionally well in the spotlight?


Nicieza: I think a non-X-Men focused TV series of a younger Gambit would make a great show. I think if Marvel Studios had decided to introduce a few more "cannon fodder" villains as almost throwaway cameos in their movies, combined with a few of their more prominent villains, then they could have more smartly set up a Thunderbolts movie that would have been as much fun as Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley's first year on the series.


Ironically, I think many of the pitches I made to Marvel -- and even DC - that they passed on contained some of the most viable concepts that they could have expended to film and television.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Nekobaghira on August 26, 2017, 01:16:26 PM

lol Astonishing will no impact on ANY book. It's an insulated, isolated story barely steeped in continuity. That is the only reason Rogue was allowed to be in a book with an "X" in the title. To be honest... I'm not entirely sure why it even exists.

Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on October 31, 2017, 10:45:48 PM
I think he insinuated that it could go on longer if it sold well. Which means it doesn't have a clear path outside of 12. I'm not happy about that. I like the book despite who much Soule doesn't understand Gambit. But having Logan an Rogue in this book when they are busy elsewhere in a story that doesn't seem to occur anywhere within the current realm of continuity doesn't bode well. The fact that Xavier may return through this is its only saving grace, but I doubt anything that happens here will be mentioned anywhere else. I mean c'mon, 4/5 of the cast is in limbo outside of this book.

It started out in a defeatist attitude - a premise what it would be .. then "maybe" be more. Bad marketing in my view.

I mean c'mon, 4/5 of the cast is in limbo outside of this book.

This is why I am doubtful for Gambit. Whatever the new book is, they'll pick the character who has been in the books or wanted and all that ... and for quite some time its not Gambit.

The art of forming a team isn't just throwing your favorites in a bowl and tossing vigorously. Each member needs at least a function or connection to someone else on the team. But in either group you have a theme of redemption and/or darkness. Not to mention, tap into characters with fan followings. If I could I try to sneak Dazzler or Emma in their and then you'll be sure to make this book a top Marvel seller. And not make this a X-Force team, an X-Men team with an ongoing theme, not just a single mission.

Cc found a pic that Anka is drawing Gambit in his X-Factor iniform. He is doing R&G covers but what if it is cover for X-Factor return?





New team book with Gambit or Rogue are coming :)

KT at least stated that this image is new and not and older one .. via CBR. I still don't get why Gambit would be in this particular uniform but its nice to know that it is indeed new art. :)

It must be Gambit as last member. No reason to have Rogue there because team already have 2 tanks. Also Rogue has the same powers as Namor. Evry team need explosive charmer. Would love Gambit to be with X-23 on team. Also Taylor at least is writting Gambit explosions big. Remy blown the whole floor and X-23 into pieces with just 1 card in All-New Wolverine.

I like his old costume but right now prefer it without hedsock.


Headsock is lazy drawing for artists. Draw any face, then add headsock and you will have Gambit.


But, I agree that headsock in iconic and must appear in movie in some way.
Also mo matter what it is always returns in comics.

ROGUE & GAMBIT #2 (OF 5)

 KELLY THOMPSON (W) • PERE PEREZ (A)
 Cover by KRIS ANKA
 Hulk Variant Cover by TBA
 RING OF FIRE Part 2
 • ROGUE and GAMBIT dig deep into their past in “therapy” to maintain their cover, all the while snooping around after hours for clues about missing mutants.
 • Will what they unearth about themselves in this “paradise” mean curtains for their relationship or bring them closer than ever?
 • And what discovery straight out of a horror movie has ROGUE and GAMBIT wishing they’d never agreed to this mission in the first place?!
 32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

All I have to say about this is that the Injustice comic wouldn’t be as successful as it is if weren’t for Tom Taylor. There’s a reason DC brought him back for Injustice 2 after someone else took over for the last two years.


The guy is an underrated writer who’s only just now getting the recognition he deserves.

It's not the characters themselves that irk me it's the assemble braced against how many known and better acquainted characters there are that could have been paired with Jean opposed to this. I'm not planning to snub the book but c'mon. This was a hard sell for me if they didn't announce Gambit. If they would have made this a modified version of the gold team she was on in the 90s or even X-factor in the 80s, I think the book would have a lot more hype around it.


Marvel is trying something new to get fans on board but I don't think they understood it's not the needing something new more than something different and less seen than seen than the Wolverine(s) O5, Rachel, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler and Kitty.

I probably wouldn't have read it if Gambit weren't in it. That's not because I don't find the team interesting, that's just because I have my limitations on what I can buy. There are some question marks.. yes.. but the characters I named make me to excited to read with Gambit.

I wouldn't object to that either. Two characters that always seem to be trod upon by everyone else in the last twenty years getting together makes sense to me.


I thought they worked well together back when Gambit was leading that team (was it Uncanny? So long ago I don't remember) with her and Cable and a few others.




I am curious more than anything else to see where this future Romy stuff goes, and I would not object if this latest mini just finally put the period at the end of whatever relationship that they might have had so they can go their own ways without everyone having to go 'butwhatabout'...
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on December 26, 2017, 11:05:23 AM
That is something though. Can they be together without being in each other's faces 24/7? Think that'd be interesting. For them to reconcile but not be attached at the hip. She continues on doing her thing and he does his thing with only sparing mentions of each other. I guess that's what a ongoing for the two would do. Keep the narrative going without bogging down whatever other book they may be a part of.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch

Yeah, I have a Google alert for "Gambit" and it's been blowing up lately. Idk if I've noticed a lot of negative stuff (other than that stupid SyFy article), but it seems like between the movie and his popping up in new comics, there has been more people talking about him.


What was the CBR article about? I'd search it and read it but I don't wanna give them my clicks if it's negative haha

Which is why when writers like Wilson and KT makes Gambit "chasing" women and do it such a way that it fails in the humor depart or romantic dept adds to this silly comments from these places. And why some of us who got upset with #1 of R&G. It's just bad and doesn't work. IMO

That's a good point. I'm hoping that KT is using this side of Gambit so she can kind of strip it eventually and get him to the place by the end of the mini where he's not like that anymore. You can still make him a womanizer without having some of the over-aggressive behavior he/the writer uses for "lols"

Well if we're bringing up the book, he's got way more positive reviews from almost every main stream geek culture website and reviewer. Even diversity and comics who personally dislikes KT. But that's not about Gambit but the book he's 50% part of. I actually see some of the slight as reverse hate. People not like seeing him get good publicity so they are just petty and throwing out random venom in an attempt to offset. And c'mon. He's not chasing women. He's chasing "A" woman, which would be the opposite of sleazy, isn't it?


How dare that sleaze ball try to be committed to one woman! :P


But I wasn't talking about the mini. There's a article up on CBR right now. The author just trashes just about everyone, and lays it on thick with Gambit. Who ever this Mason person is, it seems they've only sparingly read anything over the past 10 years.

It's not that its one woman that he's chasing, its the number of times the one woman's various ways of saying "no" is not listened to by him.

Adds to the creep factor regardless and can be pointed to as in a book where the "creepy" behavior occurred.  Views being different, some will see it that way, others will not. 

Anyway, we don't need to go more rounds on it.  :P I don't care anymore - LOL

I saw that Diversity and Comics video yesterday. He made kind of a big deal about how it was a heterosexual romance, which...seemed odd, as I didn't realize comics were lacking in that all of a sudden.

I think the issue here is not how many women, but the "chasing" part. And that the person in that book is pretty clear about not being interested...

And, no, they don't do research. What they do is go off their vague memories of the '90s, and look at out-of-context scans and info they find online.

Well Marvel has systematically separated all their long standing relationships and instead has characters just hooking up with each other all over the place. The only ones that seem have survived their culling are no longer in our reality (Sue and Reed) or have other check boxes ticked like bi-racial and/or homosexual, and when was the last time you even saw Northstar..? I really like Northstar dangit. He's more hung up on the last part, but I have noticed this deep entrenched hook-up culture throughout Marvel. They say it started around the time Quesada was getting a divorce from his wife. Something along the lines of "people can't relate". It works for some characters but is completely out of character for others and looks to be pandering.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: anya on January 08, 2018, 08:23:08 PM
I don't watch that guy, but Marvel has systematically wiped their long term couples, I will agree with that.


About Gambit 'harassing' rogue because she's clearly not interested... that second part just isn't true. The mini where some are complaining about was not trying to show that. And even before that in other  titles it wasn't true. In UA, she was hitting on fake/ RSgambit, and she told him that. Sure Dugan was only writing that to troll the Gambit fans, but it was still there. In Astonishing, on the astral plane, she didn't turn him down, she said I'm not sure if I can take getting my heart broken again, but ok, then we'll save the day, but then Xavier swiped her away.


In the mini, when they wind up on the floor of the danger room, she literally stays there underneath with her arm around him while pixie and Betsy talk about them, when kitty is talking about the mission, she says they need a couple, and rogue says that they are in flux, not over and she's moved on and not interested any more. And again on the beach, she's not sure if they can fix their relationship, not she's not interested.


If you don't like that because you think he should be done with her nonsense, fine, that's a valid opinion. But you don't need to agree with the haters that he's being a creep, going after a girl whose not interested. She shown that she's 'interested' but then gets cold feet, not the same thing.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: remydat on January 08, 2018, 11:45:13 PM
Well yes we know KT wasn't trying to show him harassing her but it certainly qualifies as harassment.  They are at work and he is making unwelcome advances towards her.  Pretty textbook case really.

This isn't the 90s where you kind of of just ignore it because Rogue gives us some hint she is interested.  Even when Gambit says he is carrying the baggage alone, it is providing a clear hint that Rogue has shown no interest in Gambit's unwelcome advances.


So you are pretty much left with ignoring the definition of harassment to excuse the fact it's one of your favorite characters doing it.

Post by: DonPriceTag on January 09, 2018, 09:11:30 AM
Here's what doesn't make sense to me about all this and I've made note not to challenge anyone because I didn't see the point you both seems fairly dug in... I'm not trying to change your minds but now it seems you guys asserting something else I don't really think is fair as we all are fans on equal grounds.


It comes down to writing. This aversion you two have isn't about this book. What happened in this book is mild and despite what actually occurred there's this push back. You've made it obvious because you've said it. You either don't like the Rogue character or don't like the pairing. That's cool. I really don't like Fantomex or Kitty. Most of the reasons I don't is because the character(s) was built up (or not) to be a certain way I don't agree with. But you know what? If it was written out and explained properly I can say things like; "I can see Fantomex even next to Gambit in a buddy-thief cop book or a team book" and " I could have bought Kitty being a leader if it's shown how she became that".


Insinuating that because we can read a story without dismissing outright because we don't agree with it in a way is insulting. No one here was into the idea of them being "insta-together", and it's not even a guarantee that they will be by the end of this book. You talk about ignoring continuity... If you read any of this book you know that's not what KT has done. The separation comes in the interpretation of said continuity. Bending it one way, is no different than bending it in another. But that's not your beefs. Standing on the grounds "If this happened to me I wouldn't want to be around", well you shouldn't compare yourself to a fictional character in a sci-fi soap opera written by two dozen authors of varying talent and experience. What happened here wasn't all that serious... And sadly not all that dissimilar from what we've been given more often than not. Because Gambit seems to be more into it than Rogue doesn't mean she isn't. Throughout the whole book at least from the Sentinel deletion back Rogue was her normal "I don't know"-self but hardly opposed to it. Again, it can be sent to either side but make one more right than the other.


Rogue hasn't been some saint and due to writing habits she's treated Gambit pretty bad. That's continuity. And it's perfectly logical and natural to look at that and hold it up, but at the same time to act as if it can't e corrected (which might not be the case by the end) is as short sighted as ignoring it.


Don't add any emotions to this post, please. Believe me I'm just writing, I'm not attached to either way of thinking other than "open". I could have just gone on but I like conversation.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: remydat on January 09, 2018, 09:34:42 AM
Don, we have had this argument before.  It is sexual harassment as defined by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/sexual_harassment.cfm (https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/sexual_harassment.cfm)

Did Gambit make repeated unwanted sexual advances?  The answer to that question is yes.  Open and shut.  It may not be as sinister or harmful as some of the stuff we are seeing because of #metoo but it clearly fits the definition.  If I saw Gambit doing this at my work, I would as a Director be duty bound to intervene and if I didn't I could be reprimanded or fired and I would expose my company to a lawsuit. 

So this has nothing to do with opinion or with whether I like Rogue or Romy.  It has to do with the legal definition of the word.  I am not telling anyone to not like the book nor am I telling you to get worked up by this.  It's a comic afterall.  I am telling you that by the legal definition of the word, what KT depicted in the book is sexual harassment.  That is all.  How you respond to that is up to year and I don't think enjoying it makes you wrong.  I simply don't think we should reinvent what words mean just to defend our favorite characters.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on January 09, 2018, 09:46:01 AM
Actually we didn't argue you made the point and I bowed out because I thought it was silly. You think I'm ignoring "harassment" and I think your grasping at straws in an attempt to make a soft point. Im not defending anything because I didn't see that remotely the same way you did. If you're going to repeat this for the 3rd time... Again I'm out of the conversation. You can have it. That's as ridiculous as someone saying Longshot rapes every woman he's been with because he manipulates "luck" and probability. I guess you can say the same thing about Domino and Star Fox (not luck powers). Cheers.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: remydat on January 09, 2018, 10:07:47 AM
Don,

All you keep doing is running away from the discussion.  You say I am being silly or grasping at straws but you have yet to take the definition of the word and explain how it doesn't fit these circumstances.

What I see in the comic is a guy purposefully putting himself in an uncomfortable position with his X while at work.  He ends up on top of her and clearly makes an advance.  Rogue responds by slapping/pushing him away and leaving the room.  (Unwanted advance no 1)  This guy then follows her and surprises Rogue coming up behind her.  He does this by putting his arms on her shoulders.  Rogue responds by walking away from him. (Unwanted advance no 2).  Rogue then meets with Kitty. When Kitty tells her of the plan, she clearly says No.  Kitty then tries to shame her into doing the mission which succeeds.  For the rest of the story Gambit keeps trying to get her to agree to rekindle their relationship and Rogue continually tries to shoot him down nicely.  (Unwanted sexual advance 3).

What is silly or grasping at straws about the above?

I don't have a problem if you don't want to discuss but you are the one that keeps making comments but then running away whenever I logically explain my position using the actual definition of the word.  It is like you are channelling your inner Rogue and just running from anything that makes you uncomfortable.  And before you pitch a fit just remember you are the one saying my argument is silly despite providing zero logic for that claim so me noting you are running from the argument again is fair game.  I think you need to make up your mind as to whether you want to discuss or not as I have done nothing but civilly discuss things.  Something isn't silly just because you don't like it.

Again you are deflecting.  All I want to know is why in clear terms you don't consider it harassment.  Merely claiming someone is silly or grasping at straws is no way to discuss something.  I have made it clear why I think what I do and this is now the second time that all you do in return is claim something with no explanation.


Again, if you are not prepared to articulate your reasons for something not sure why you keep trying to discuss it.

Or they have nearly 2 years of development and it's ignore the second it's over (Asmus' Gambit... or XXM before that). Still don't buy Gambit being dumb enough to allow himself to be transformed into a Horseman with no idea that it'd brainwash him, flat-out ignoring what it's done to at least 3 of his teammates in the past... it was a dumb story written by a dumb writer who has now been given control over one of my favorite characters (Legion). Milligan's stories made me quit comics back in Golgotha... I didn't read another comic until after AoX was finished (had to read a bunch of back issues to catch up...). OK...

Yep. It's getting ridiculous now with Rogue. We all talk about how poorly written Gambit is at times but Rogue is written so awful at times too. Are there any Rogue sites where they get together and talk about some of the poor treatment of their favorite character? It's like someone needs to sit Rogue down and explain to her that just because you have an emotional moment with, have admiration for, have affection for, respect, are impressed by, or spend time with a man...   Doesn't mean you have to kiss them or make out with them. It almost seems like a psychosomatic thing at this point. Or maybe she feels obligated. ;)  Anyway, it does seem like a lot of writers have used Rogue as their trophy-piece for a certain character they're writing. Like they like to use her as a little fling for someone.

... Duggan is a great writer but that pairing still doesn't make sense. The build up to that "make out party" was weak. It was like a really whack prize that in the end did nothing objectify Rogue. But those Rogue diehards refused to see anything beyond "she's the leader and star" even though Id argue that Deadpool was a bigger draw during Duggan's run. To be honest, for what he did, she's being awfully chummy. Very unlike her judgmental self. The same woman that left Gambit to die in the Antarctic for doing something indirectly in his youth and murdered a teammate in cold blood for falling victim to a psychotic break.

So with all new Fresh Start announcements what you would like to see as Fresh Start for Gambit? Dr.Strange went to space. Would you like smth completely new like this for Gambit?I would love to see Gambit/Sinister interaction the most.I always liked when Gambit was working for him and would like more of it. Smth like double agent in Messiah Complex.

I've seen speculation of him getting a solo floating about. Has there been any kind of announcement or is it just rampant speculation after promo for fresh start.

I actually asked CB (Marvel EiC) about the idea of lesser characters getting digital books. I don't really understand why this isn't being used. Books like America Chavez, The Defenders, Spider-Gwen and Black Panther don't really sell enough units to stay float in print, but they all sell more than 5k. Why not just transfer them to 100% digital? I mean do more of a profit sharing, employ lesser-known artists and pay them exclusively via sells of the book. It'd be a great way to vet artists and provide a proving ground for a ideas and titles. If it does well, make it a printed title. But 5k at 3.99 would yield nearly 20K. All they'd be spending is bandwidth or paying for servers which are probably only having to deal with 50MB of data per title. No waste, no print, no paper etc. Almost 100% profit minus what they pay the writer or artist. Gambit was well within the 20Ks while not having any tie-in, variants, worthwhile features or even advertising. That'd be closer to $80K (@20K in sales). And digital download doesn't mean you don't insert ads. They should.

@Don, I was waiting to see what the response was? I guess if you didn't add it on, it wasn't one that is worthwhile?


Comics are niche now anyway. They'd probably make a lot more money if they did a lot more digital stuff, plus allow a doujin-type market like what exists in Japan. With Disney holding their leash, though... I don't think that would ever happen, at least not in a way where they wouldn't want to dip into it too, and that sort of goes against the spirit of the doujin.

That's the thing, they dont have to touch the printed stuff, itd just be added to their catalog. There are a lot of good ideas that get pitched, and while they may not make sense from a business standpoint to print, digital books will only make them profit and probably drive readers to stores to read the print-only books, especially if they do it right and have more crossover and continuity usage. Not so much crossover where you can't read one book without reading 3 others, but enough  reference that would get people curious about whats going on elsewhere.

The red line up i saw at xbr made him look like a wierdly shaped pixelated video character. I must be small screen and the way the colors look ao solid.... i half expected him to start moving like a gif.

I thought it looked pretty good for a smaller image. I like the designs for Red honestly. The X placement is in a weird spot for everybody, but besides that.. the slight armored look on everyone looks pretty cool.

Also I thonk in some interview Taylor told that new team member will join team in issue 4. So I hope that in issue 3 Gambit will be doing his own thing and then will run to help read team.

There's go my rack-scan... I mean, who was the editor that said this was something people want? The only people that care about this are the same people who say "I can't wait for the Kitty Pryde movie!" Why? She's had one story of relevance outside of the late 80s. Some people talk about DoFP like its up there with Dark Phoenix. Listen here, DoFP was two issues. So that's it. "Professor Xavier is a Jerk!" and DoFP before being in Excalibur and then limbo basically until the late 90s when she came back to the X-Men proper, at such time I can't recall her doing anything until Whedon's Astonishing run. Kitty is not this transcending fan-mongering vehicle. I can ask everyone I work with "who's Kitty Pryde?" and they'll shrug. Guaranteed. Oh, right, they tried to make her a thing in X-Men Evolution.

I've got mixed feelings about Kitty. I like the idea of her and her powers, but she annoys me a lot of the time and I can't stand the circle-jerk that's centered around her among many X-Fans. I did, however, like her in Whedon's Astonishing as a foil to Emma Frost

Sales are kinda what I expected. there's alot of x-books out and none are doing spectacular. Iceman just ended his run at 11k. and will now lead a X-Team on X-Men Gold. There is a overall sales problem with Comics books. Not sure what Marvel can do to fix.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Nekobaghira on March 14, 2018, 08:25:30 AM
Sales has been a problem for a very long time. Expectation is high at the company but the product is low (Marvel or DC may not think so but ...), the whole continuity lite and new reader friendly isn't helping them. The movies aren't helping them. Is comic books a dying medium? Maybe? I don't know.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on March 14, 2018, 09:23:36 AM
Comics aren't dying. Its just that expectations and reality are in conflict. It's not dead, but its definitely contracted. I think the days of all Marvel books selling in the 40k to 60k range (forget the days when X-Men sold 100k each month) are over and they haven't embraced that and adjusted their pay rates accordingly. This is why books get cancelled. They are still using an old model to sell books and pay creators. Instead of paying them in the form of a contract, they should do profit sharing. So the company always gets their money and the creators are paid by merit and they bring in. It'd push them to do more. Better writing, better art, better customer interactions, more grind.

I found it to be overly ambitious from a narrative standpoint, and ham-fisted in its attempt to be politically driven. Like someone that kind of knows what they want to do but doesn't really have a good angle to attack. And by time this team is "assembled" it'll be bogged down and crowded. I just don't see how adding Gambit as an 8th character is going to work. (I'll post extended response in X-Men Red thread)

The one thing I miss about X-Factor was PADs ability to mold banter. The conversations that were had were pretty top notch. I loved Gambit's back and forth's with Quicksilver. I also miss the chemistry Asmus created between Gambit and Wisdom. Hell, the way Asmus wrote Gambit, period was pretty awesome imo. Lot of deep-cut stuff most writers don't bother using. Like exploring Gambit's underlining intelligence, or his affinity for TNG and Harry Potter (probably Asmus pseudo-projecting, but it fit).

It seems that AXM won`t end with 12. Rumour is that it will continue with a new writer and Land on art.

Hmm interesting. Really not a fan of Land, but if they writing gets better I'd be interested bc I really love the lineup

I'm on the fence with this title. Like PAD's older X-Factor ... back in the day, it did whatever the writer wanted. Now, with the audience getting smaller, there isn't as much investment for the satellite books.

I can't say I would like it to continue or not because Soule's version has been disappointing. While I know Liu's got her detractors, I thought she handled the book pretty well for the most part. It wasn't perfect by any stretch. LOL

X-Men Gold 26, just flicked throug it, Gambit was Right, he doesn't seem to take part in the ensuing fight but he does show up later at Peters Bachelor party with Iceman, Pyro, Peter and Kurt, he has some fun banter with Kurt saying they will be doing this one day for Gambit to which Remy replys Kurt wouldn't be able to handle his Bachelor party, Kurt says he will accept that challenge  :) Remy says its hypothetical as he doesn't see him and Rogue ever getting hitched (this seems to be going with Gambit and Rogue being together) anywho its all fun and a nice appearance by Gambit except he uses the term boyo twice and i know he has used it before but its just so odd and Irish its just wrong lol

If you ignore the "boyos", Gambit was actually okay in Gold #26. It was refreshing to see him mingle with Nightcrawler, Colossus and Iceman for a change. Not often we see that with Remy, nice to see Guggenheim provide that.

*sigh* Not surprising because Guggenheim is a big Romy fan. Too many Romy writers currently. We need Marjorie Liu back to help balance that out. It really sucks that Gambit is starting to return to prominence and is immediately stuck with that albatross. I hope Tom Taylor is anti-Romy.

Was Pyro really there? I haven't been keeping up much with comics because of Romy garbo and Queen of Losers Jubilee, but Pyro seems like an odd guest. Did he turn face recently?

Cool to hear Remy and Kurt interacted. That's one of the things I want most from X-Men Red. They always felt like people who should be buddies, but never got a real chance to interact.

I didn't get "pro Romy" from that... It's observing continuity. Writers chosing to embrace and ignore certain aspects of characters is the reason Gambit turned into Racky, why Mystique is a X-Man, how Rogue ended up with Magneto, how Wolverine became an Avenger, all of the Inhumans vs X-Men foolishness, so on and so forth. I think it's healthy for storytelling and great for business as you encourage people to read other books. Otherwise we're reading collections short stories.

I mean... Okie dokie? I don't get the point of your rant. Guggenheim has literally said Gambit/Rogue is one of his favorite couples of all time in an interview and that's where my "pro-Romy" comment comes from. Though, I can't find that interview now so I might have hallucinated it.  Anyway, all I was saying was that I'm not surprised he went there instead of a more generic, but still continuity observing "I've already been married once and I can't see myself getting married again."

"rant"? C'mon, that was like three lines...  ??? . The point of my "rant" was, I don't think it reflects his like or dislike of the relationship, but recognizing it exists especially in the light of an upcoming wedding. I'm sure if Angel and Psylocke were still a thing and Warren were there, the joke/ comment from Kurt would have been extended to him. Writers have this thing about ignoring or adding aspects to characters to suit their narrative. I mean, not bringing it up would have been stranger than anything IMO. I blame weak editorial. Even in the case of clown pants Gambit. I think I've voiced on several occasions my disdain of that cameo. I'd love for someone to address that, even if to explain it away... got a thread idea lol.


Did he say that? I'm asking, I didn't read the issue.

R&G 5 was normal. It wasn`t bad. It was just not as great as previous issues. Also last issue is too Rogue centric for a team up book. Still liked it but dissapointed a little bit. But mini as the whole is very good.

AXM 11. Lame. Gambit speaked only with Rogue and had 1 scene where he made a bait for Proteus.

X-men Gold 7. 1 scene with Rogue and 1 scene where he threw cards into robots. Nothing interesting. really.

X-Men Red #4
Gambit doesn’t appear at all.  However, it’s still a good read and it seems Ororo is the last member to join the team as she’s with everyone else in Atlantis (or wherever under the sea) after they fix her mind controlled issues, sporting a new “red” style outfit (which they describe as special to avoid the nano mind control hinge).  Basically, the nanos what’s-her-name made will cause mutants to kill themselves if they aren’t mind controlled with another program.


The Wedding Special
JFC the boys trip is f***ing AWFUL.  There’s not one, but two “boyo”s in an 8 page story, the art is cringy and there is just terrible pacing/diaglogue all the way around.  However the girl’s bachelorette party is heaps and heaps above the boys in writing & art.  They take Kitty to a karaoke + stripper bar, she has a heart to heart with Rogue in the bathroom (Rogue’s all giddy post R&G mini trip), Kitty runs into Calisto who just yammers that she’ll hurt Kitty if she hurts Peter and it ends with a massive expensive bottle of champagne for the table bought by Emma..  The girl’s night out is honestly just adorable fun fluff.

Thanks, Berry.


We need Fresh Start for Gambit as soon as possible. Without R&G it is not possible to get any Gambit monthly fix.

It shows the quality of Kelly Thompson as a writer and I loves how she invest in the characters she writes. I loved her take of Gambit and Rogue.

Whats too Painful? if he's in limbo people complain he isn't being used, he's being used people complain he's not being used right, theres no winning. This Guild used to be a happy place, people on here are polite and respectful of one another by my God its drowning in so much negativity these past few months WTF happened, Sorry to single your post out Neko it's not just you but that sentence just broke me, ive tried so hard not to do this hence why i barley post. Look i get people are upset there not getting the Gambit they want, but we haven't had the Gambit we want for a long time, his appearances have been sporadic but now he is in Astonishing, Gold & Red and just off of a damn well written Mini, fair enough if like me you dont like Romy or the pairing but he was written well and KT fixed some issues with rogue realizing s*** and acknowledging hows she treated Remy. Astonishing he's wallpaper but he is competent wall paper granted some of you didnt like the way Mystique talked to him but hey thats the way she is and Remy's lack of response is how he is, he's too above a response to her crap, Red he's just appeared and it was a good showing with a nice use of his powers, im looking forward to see where this is going, Gold Boyo aside (ffs he's not from 1960s Ireland) and while he made a mistake in issue 4 but he was written well and he is still written well in Gold, he found Mesmero when no one else could, and he's having fun interacting with other X-Men being friends something he hasnt been seen doing in a while.

Yes id rather we had more focus on the guy, but im looking at the positives

Now as for the movie, i cant say anything and this is not a plug but if you have listened to my podcast you'd know what i do for a living, so trust me when i say the film is happening and it will be this year, i dont know who is directing, but i know there is crew and there are contracts. Take from that what you will.

Anyway, well said. I have been noticing the same thing around here, but thought maybe it was just me being over-sensitive or...something. Not talking about specific people or saying how they should feel (a thing I hate seeing online), just a general pall.

As for the movie, I've gotten to the point where I don't care what happens one way or another. I'm just tired of it all--the jumping at "rumors" that are based on nothing but speculation by some no-name sites who could just be pulling **** out its ass to get clicks.

I totally agree with you. It has been a while since Gambit was part of the X-Men and was even used in a book. Seeing him being used again in multiple books is a great sign. Marvel is slowly trying to give Gambit some importance in the X-Men world and introducing him to newer reader. Gambit has recently appeared in Marvel Puzzle Quest (where he is an super powerful) and Contest of Champions.

I am with you on all this! And agree. Guild is a home for Gambit fans and must be happy again. Your post is important.


As for Astonishing it is not Mystique that bothrered me. It is Soule. Because he twice wrote Remy useless in situation and then two characters joked that he done nothing. First Fanto and then Mystique.

Gambit is an alright character in CoC but his first attack is the only good thing of his move set as it always stuns the opponent. I have a 3* Gambit in Puzzle Quest and his move set is really awesome.

@Dantay and all -

 I'm sorry if I've made you or anyone else uncomfortable due to perceived negativity. Yes, its how one views a thing to attach an emotion to it.
I get the wanting the positives, hence I have decreased my postings. I will also continue to decrease my postings.

I don't Romy – and I'm choosing not to say anything more about that book. I've stated my positives when the book has been released.

As for boyo – should have used the sarcasm thingy but it was meant as not getting the character right. Legitimate critique, isn't it? If not, okay.

Apologies to all.

I got a 3* Gambit from his event when he got launched ando got couple of duplicates from crystal. My Gambit has been maxed out and but still he is a very weak character compared to other characters in general. BT the Gambit in puzzle quest is very easy to get and both the 5* and 3* are very powerful.

Jesus no theres no need to delete anything, and nothing anyone has ever said on here has made me uncomfortable anyway. More so, no one has anything to apologize for. i was going to say something sooner or later it was just that comment that made me vent, and like i said before i didn't mean to single you out specifically. Ive always viewed you through your posts as positive and maybe when i seen you on a downer i vented. Every fandom out there is the same when it comes to characters they love. Ive been trying to look at the positives and be positive and then i log on here and its like whats the point in posting any of that. im not telling anyone how to feel, vent away, be negative if you want its an open forum, that's whats great about this community, you can vent and people here are still respectful. Stuff has been so negative here regarding the writing or the movie maybe no one noticed and pointing it out may get people to look on the bright side and feel positive again, i dont know but i feel better after venting

They recently introduced a thing where you can mark certain characters as a favorite and so I immediately marked the 3* Gambit as a fav. Then, I played a VS match and won a special recruit token when the match expired and that unlocked him for me. I've done that a few times and unlocked different powers for him that way. Idk if anyone else has gotten that to work

I'll be the first to admit, I've been pretty negative about the movie lately, but I'm glad you said something because I've noticed the negativity around here can be kind of a bummer sometimes. Which I get. Everyone has an opinion about their favorite characters and we're not always going to have the same opinions. Tbh, I'm just happy to see Gambit get some exposure after such a long dry spell after the end of ANXF

In 2018 alone, Gambit's been in 4 books. I'd say that beats the limbo years that we were getting in previous times.
Red this week was a good issue, remember Gambit's story is very isolated at the moment, so time will tell when the dots join. Out of the 3 core X-Books, this is by far the best series.


Just skimmed through the Wedding Special. I guess at the very least, Guggs had enough respect for Remy to have him in the bachelor party and involved in the festivities in the wedding issue to come. Most snobbish (anti-90s) writers would ignore Gambit, and have him sidelined. But Wedding Specials are what they are, I don't like weddings in real life or wedding specials on TV, so you know, it is what it is lol. It's a happy occasion, not much room for epic battles and drama.

Venting is fine, there is something therapeutic about it.  I'm glad you are feeling better too. :)


I'm beyond Gambit is in stuff phase. A panel here or there or poor choice of wording in the writing of Gambit is disappointing. Having Gambit in multiple books creates awareness for the character and that is a good thing.

I suppose pointing it out helps but tbh - I've wasted money on characters I absolutely loathe and have done my best to keep my tone as close to being in the middle as I can. We're talking months of reading about one specific character that I made a pack with myself to never spend another dime on ever. What really happened in that book was support for the character I don't like at the expensive of the one I do like. That is hard to take on a monthly basis.

When I actually get a book where my favorite is close to anything like he should be and what do I read, how horrible he was in the appearance, yet the other book for which not one person can actually list what Gambit did that was so fantastic is just the greatest thing since (insert whatever that greatest thing is here).

Normally, I feel very positive when it comes to Gambit but I'm getting nothing but a relationship that I dislike, poor choice in dialogue and others negativity in the one book I actually like that so far doesn't do either of those things.

Balance would be nice, I suppose. And as I always say, if you are enjoying those things I don't like, that is great! Awesome, but this hobby is losing me because the character I enjoy the most is stuck in a rut.

I stand by my apology to all, for any perceived negativity or any other deemed slight.

Thought I pressed post but I guess I didn't earlier. Boss lady you should feel as if your presence should be decreased for us or anyone to be more comfortable. That's nonsense. As a community perhaps we should learn to communicate better. We tend to get into circular conversations and repeat ourselves. It can get adversarial at times and encourage people to just not get involved in the conversations. We can do better. We shouldn't be posting less. We should be posting more, just in a more constructive manner.

Thank you - every single one in this group .. we all are connected by Gambit ... and I do believe .... we're all good, as always. Agreed with everyone... I enjoy our community, even if we get a bit intense. I think all of you are amazing posters. :)

**Moving it forward, is this CoC game ... a computer game as in pc oriented or does it need another platform for play.

Thanks for explaining how to get Gambit, that probably works with other "rare" characters. I don't know if he's rare in the game or not. I don't play it but I think its interesting how people find the things they find. :)


Edit: being put in check from time to time isn't a bad thing. :) Sometimes I need a reminder of why I even do this. And yes, I'd rather be a cheerleader and find the good in everything than find fault.

Hey now, my wedding was dope. WifesW family spent waaaaaay too much money on it, but it was dope nonetheless. As for tv, the only wedding episode I tolerate is the infamous "A Different World" wedding episode. Perhaps "Boy Meets world" as well. Haven't picked up this week's red yet, but I hear good things. But I hear good things about the whole run and I still pick it apart. By all means it's the best X-Men title out, but there's so much room for improvement. I think Storm's inclusion and Gambit will make it more bearable. That pulling back on the virtue signaling. I get it, the political and social landscape sucks. Now lets get back to punching sentinels in the face.


I do look forward to Gambit getting his new uniform. I'm sure he's going to quip while pulling his coat over it.

I love weddings, I can't help it. Always have. And yes, I'll be watching at least part of the Royal Wedding on Saturday because why not, I'll be up anyway, thanks to stupid overtime at work. *shoots laser glares at bosses*

And Neko, don't feel you've got to censor yourself to appear more positive. This is, after all, *your* site and you should feel free to say what you want, even to vent. I've just noticed a general malaise around here is all (including from me!). I think we're all frustrated about different things to certain degrees, but I don't think we should lose heart. One of my favorite qualities that Remy has is his tenacity--if we lose that, if we lose heart, then Marvel wins. And we can't have that, now can we?

Thanks for keeping on all these years Neko--next year it'll be 20!--thanks for letting us have a place for intelligent, passionate discussions that don't veer into ad hominem attacks. The internet's often an insane, inane, scary place so it's nice to have a haven from the madness.

So, do we have confirmation Guggs is trolling us with the "boyo" thing? Should I bother tweeting him about it? I've gone from "annoyed" to "annoyed yeah, but kind of mystified."

You know how xtas Gambit always said his name? Well Guggenheim has Gambit saying boyo just as annoyingly at the end of every sentence in Gold. Forget Cajun, I'm pretty sure that's not even North American.

Hey now, my wedding was dope. WifesW family spent waaaaaay too much money on it, but it was dope nonetheless. As for tv, the only wedding episode I tolerate is the infamous "A Different World" wedding episode. Perhaps "Boy Meets world" as well. Haven't picked up this week's red yet, but I hear good things. But I hear good things about the whole run and I still pick it apart. By all means it's the best X-Men title out, but there's so much room for improvement. I think Storm's inclusion and Gambit will make it more bearable. That pulling back on the virtue signaling. I get it, the political and social landscape sucks. Now lets get back to punching sentinels in the face.


I do look forward to Gambit getting his new uniform. I'm sure he's going to quip while pulling his coat over it.


LOL! I'm sure your wedding was awesome :)


Speaking of Storm, I hear she's been getting poorly written of late, and I'm glad she's on the Red team. I actually really enjoyed #4, #1-3 were okay (not great) but this particular issue impressed me in a few parts. Gambit's involvement has really intrigued me, I have no idea where or how he fits in all this.

And Neko, don't feel you've got to censor yourself to appear more positive. This is, after all, *your* site and you should feel free to say what you want, even to vent. I've just noticed a general malaise around here is all (including from me!). I think we're all frustrated about different things to certain degrees, but I don't think we should lose heart. One of my favorite qualities that Remy has is his tenacity--if we lose that, if we lose heart, then Marvel wins. And we can't have that, now can we?
No ... we can't. Despite their whatevers ....we can learn from Remy - he is a survivor.

Thanks for keeping on all these years Neko--next year it'll be 20!--thanks for letting us have a place for intelligent, passionate discussions that don't veer into ad hominem attacks. The internet's often an insane, inane, scary place so it's nice to have a haven from the madness.
Holy s***! has it been that long???!!! I have loved it all .. every crazy thing and challenging moment.

They recently introduced a thing where you can mark certain characters as a favorite and so I immediately marked the 3* Gambit as a fav. Then, I played a VS match and won a special recruit token when the match expired and that unlocked him for me. I've done that a few times and unlocked different powers for him that way. Idk if anyone else has gotten that to work


I did that too and it worked on multiple occasions. With the latest update it doesn't seem to work that frequently but I still I managed to get him to level 189 till now.

I'm psyched for the movie and I really dug the mini.   Hopefully he'll be awesome in Red, that's the dream at least.   As a Gambit fan it's a bit tough to be positive because you get your hopes up, follow along for a few years and then just get let down hard and that's the rough part.   Things seem to be getting better though so fingers crossed :).

**Moving it forward, is this CoC game ... a computer game as in pc oriented or does it need another platform for play.

Thanks for explaining how to get Gambit, that probably works with other "rare" characters. I don't know if he's rare in the game or not. I don't play it but I think its interesting how people find the things they find. :)


TBF, I could have just gotten lucky haha (although, I have unlocked his other powers using this method). Have not tried CoC, but I think it's more like a mobile app.


Also, to anyone who plays CoC, is there an easy way to unlock Gambit? I'd been playing PQ for months before I finally unlocked him and I'm not sure I have the patience to do that with another game  ;D

They have 2 "Jean Greys" and a Scarlet Witch...but no Gambit, Nightcrawler and Angel. I would've thought they'd outrank Havok as well. I don't really collect those so meh...


I'm more keen on the Funkos, and I'm still waiting on Gambit, Rogue and Nightcrawler...and hopefully a 90's Jean Grey.

If it's Gambit, I buy it. I have a curio filled with Gambit merchandise. The Funko comment brought back the memory of when I contacted them about a Gambit one...he and Nightcrawler could not be done because Disney would not release the rights to them. Apparently, Mickey had, and I guess still has, a big stick up his butt about the whole Fox / X-Men rights.

Was it just Gambit and Nightcrawler? Because Rogue's the other big name X-Character that doesn't have a pop either...


Iceman, Kitty Pryde, Emma Frost, Psylocke, Archangel and Cable have only been released within the last 2 years, so they're still fairly new. I think the Pops with an 'X-Men' title on the box have only been recent (2016?). The older X-Men pops were released years before (Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm etc) ...and they had a 'Marvel' title.


Domino's coming out now because of the Deadpool movie (and it's her comic version). Maybe when the Gambit movie comes out, we'll get a pop. Hopefully in the original pink & black.

Yeah, Rogue's the other one I've been waiting on. Even in those little X-Men mystery boxes that Funko put out, Gambit, Rogue and Nightcrawler were all missing. But, of course, there were at least 2 or 3 different Wolverines

 X-Men Gold #28 aka how many times did Gambit say “boyo” in this issue?
None!  He didn’t utter it a single time!


The issue is fairly straight forward.  The Gold team plus Iceman, Pyro, Rogue & Gambit head to Canada to pick up a space ship.  Kitty asks Iceman & Pyro to stay behind, so The rest fly off and are met with resistance.  Gambit & Rogue are pretty much in the back of the plane watching monitors while the Gold team is at the front of the plane (it cuts to them a couple times, but it was just weirdly amusing that the author has the actual main team up front and subjects the tagalongs to the back).  Long story short, Storm uses her hammer to destroy all the missles.  Nightcrawler almost crashes the ship, but Kitty phases it.  They land, fight more robots and Kitty discovers Peter is Right! Below! Them!  She’s coming for you buddy!!


Gambit’s perfectly fine although nothing to rush out and get for him alone.  The art is super pretty however.

Other than not saying boyo? *g*


Gambit & Rogue just act mostly as the people transitioning the scene to the next scene by asking “where are we going?” “How are we getting there?”  There’s a pretty cute panel of the post crash scene with Rogue trying to get up going “well, any landing you can walk away from...” and Gambit’s upside down all “you call THAT a landing?”  And another panel of Gambit enjoying fighting but no, nothing super more worthy.

There are legitimate excuses as to why Gambit might not have much panel-time in Gold, considering he's not in the official line-up, it's understandable if he's just a bit-player.
Red is where I have expectations. As long as his role matters and makes a contribution, then I'll be happy with that. Preview for #5 looks good so far.
Astonishing, well, to be fair I've only read 2 issues, the Gambit kicking Fantomex into the door/portal(?) was a great scene, but from what I understand, he hasn't done a lot after that.

RED 5 was a fine issue. Gambit was good. I just wanted more.
It is just hard to get a monthly fix of your favourite character from a book that has 9 characters + Sentinel.


Gold 29 was just like any other Gold issue. Gambit was driving some space jet. Rachel pulled info from Sasquatch to Remy so he can drive that space jet. Kinda liked that moment.


Astonishing 12 was bad. X and Psylocke saved the day. X made everyone for some reason except Psylocke to forget everything what happend. Also X left Gambit the purpose to find Fantomex and pay his debt which was very very very stupid.

I had predicted what will happen in Astonishing and that is exactly what happened. This book has been predictable and boring.
I was very happy with how the team has assembled and seems everyone has a purpose. Going forward I want to see how everyone with be used. I have never seen Gambit interact with Namor so that will be interesting.

On one hand, that could make for a cool storyline for Gambit and I would think bringing him back from the dead would more than pay for his debt. On the other hand, that seems really f***ing stupid of X to say when Fanto literally gave him his life so X could live. If anyone owes Fanto anything, it's X.

On one hand, that could make for a cool storyline for Gambit and I would think bringing him back from the dead would more than pay for his debt. On the other hand, that seems really f***ing stupid of X to say when Fanto literally gave him his life so X could live. If anyone owes Fanto anything, it's X.


I haven't read it, though, so maybe it's a little more tactfully said than I'm picturing.


Agree.
It was stupid because X stole Fantomex body and then erased Gambit`s memories about how Fanto dissapeared. It should be X the one who need to find Fanto or help him, really.
Also why to search Fanto if Betsy knows where he is.

Honestly, as someone who's never really cared for Xavier, that does kind of sound in-character for him haha Doesn't excuse Betsy knowing though. Maybe Soule will just say she and Fanto had a really bad break-up  ;)

I think I can confidently say that they got the back of Gambit's head right  ;)  Hopefully he will be in more than just the background. I do see Deadpool in the background. I wonder if he'll have a scene with R&G. It would be kind of funny of DP didn't get invited (because honestly, how would he have gotten invited?) and Gambit and a couple of the others had to throw him out. Of course, maybe Domino got invited and he's her +1


Also, I'm still not sold on Beast's new look.

When I was reading the Preview for #30, I thought it was weird how the issue began with the flashback Colossus telling Kitty about his fling with that alien in Secret Wars. This kinda lines up with a lot of peoples' suspicions
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Berry on June 16, 2018, 02:20:50 PM
Heh.  I think for me having Peter express the painting he made of him & Kitty is waiting for her at their honeymoon suite is classic set up for one of the pair to be heartbroken when they later stop by the suite to grab heir suitcase or whatever after the wedding not going through.  Like, otherwise, they would have kept the reveal of his gift to the end of the issue if they’d actually managed to get married because there’s the emotional pay off.  Setting up early that there is a emotional gift waiting for them wastes unnecessary panel time if all goes well.


As for Mr.  & Mrs. X, I suppose since we know Xavier survived Astonishing as X with a new dream or whatever, it makes a case why they’ve kept the details on the DL.  But how it connects to Gold #30 is what we don’t know.  He went to all the trouble of removing his existence from everyone’s brains except to Psylocke so I can’t see him just walking into the wedding like “sorry i’m late lol”  Maybe he’s watching from a distance (ha! Not weird at all) and he reflects on how important marriage is and decided to follow up with Mystque...?  Yeah, IDK

Him and mystique is so stupid though. Even when bendis did it, it made no sense. The only reason I could possibly think of is if Xavier and mystique end up together in the dark Phoenix movie...but it would still be stupid. Why did he erase everyone's memory anyway?

Yeah, I've been there. I dropped comics for probably a decade or so out of pure protest (two names in particular: Carey, Milligan) and I do have my doubts about Marvel's ability to sustain a HEA down the line. I trust KT though.

I guess the question is, if a HEA is the goal ... are they going to stick to it or just flirt with it until it isn't deemed important. Is this a Sue and Reed thing or what? Is this a new direction? Do they want to reap the female audience by giving them HEA's .. but if they do, they can't just stop if they want the action/adventure stuff. For comics they need to keep the book rolling unless a series of minis is the best way to go. I dunno, they might do well going in that direction. I'm not sure.
And for HEA's, in the romance world once they hook up its done with a few exceptions, so maybe Marvel is trying something different to gain an audience? An idea. Not a bad one, kind of late but ... still .. could bring them some dollars.

Rogue’s suddenly sporting a power dampener around her neck during the vows.  I thought it was just lazy writing like hand waving her powers like “it’s a little kiss, he’ll be fiiiine” by Guggs with the kiss at the end but it looks like someone did think about it and address it!


There’s also a cut of panel we see above the vows part that we pretty much just see a bunch of legs & hips. You see a couple hands in front of the people to the right & left of Gambit & Rogue so I think it’s a whatever you’d calll a last minute wedding party (and Gambit’s to the right of Rogue which put the POV of the audience looking on, which is why i’m thinking the others are wedding party as they face he audience).  Which, I think, makes Storm best man, Iceman Man of Honor and Laura & Kurt the other two.  Which is so painfully adorable, and I support this

I’m not going to bother spoiler protecting Gold #30 because it’s already like our there. 


There’s a little more flirting between Gambit & Rogue while everyone is waiting for Kitty to walk down the isle.  The wedding is going along normally until Peter goes to put the ring on her, and his hand phases through her.  Everyone is like Gasp!  She phases away, Peter begs Kurt to teleport them else where.  Kitty and Peter talk about it, she basically does the anti-Rogue speech in that she’s like we’re so off and on and that’s not a foundation! It’s just a mess!  Meanwhile Gambit is still in disbelief, Storm is like “uh, probably for the best” and proceeds to state how marriage is hard and requires more than love, gotta have a hunger. A need. 


The rest we’ve seen posted, although there was a panel cut off from earlier scans which is the wedding party; Storm is Best Man, Laura next to her and Bobby is Man of Honor with Kurt next to him.


The odd thing is that when Kitty & Peter discuss what went wrong, it’s clearly a nighttime scene.  However Gambit & Rogue get married with natural light which... I’m pretty sure is at day break...?  Jesus H, the guests who stuck around til like 6am deserve an award

Marvel Heroes is defunct now, as far as I know. When it was up, Gambit was one of the middle cost champions and could be obtained pretty quickly by farming Infinity Shards

They recently introduced a thing where you can mark certain characters as a favorite and so I immediately marked the 3* Gambit as a fav. Then, I played a VS match and won a special recruit token when the match expired and that unlocked him for me. I've done that a few times and unlocked different powers for him that way. Idk if anyone else has gotten that to work


Where I can mark a character? I can`t see such option :(

In Puzzlequest? You just go to the "Roster" and then it brings up all of your characters as well as a list of the characters you can unlock. Each character has a little star next to it you can tap and it becomes gold

Oh, that was Puzzlequest. I thought it was contest of champions.
Thanks. Then I should download Puzzlequest.

Yeah, if you like the Bejewled/Candy Crush type games then you'll enjoy it. It's kind of fun unlocking different character and abilities but it's nothing ground-breaking and it took me forever to unlock Gambit. But, I did just unlock a new power for him over the weekend because I starred him so there are ways to get him

If Gambit movie will die then Tatum will announce that he left the project the same way as Gordon-Levitt left Sandman or Mamoa left Craw reboot.


They are still looking for director or they found one and are waiting to announce. Right now it is not dead.

https://screenrant.com/gambit-movie-canceled-2019-release-date-channing-tatum/ (https://screenrant.com/gambit-movie-canceled-2019-release-date-channing-tatum/)

Quote
...As of right now, the only person still attached to Gambit is Tatum. Lizzy Caplan was cast in the film last year when it actually had a director, but with that seat vacant and the schedule shifting, her status is unknown. And really, the entire project should be in question at this point

....Gambit currently has a June 7, 2019 release staked out, making it one of three X-Men movies slated to hit theaters next year; Dark Phoenix is now delayed till February and New Mutants was pushed (again) till August. The biggest difference between these two films and Gambit is what stage of production they are in. While both Dark Phoenix and New Mutants are set to undergo major reshoots months after principal photography wrapped, Gambit has yet to film a single scene. Yet, somehow, Gambit is supposed to hit theaters in between these two films.

Not exactly surprising. The timetable for when everything transfers to Disney (hopefully. eff you comcast) makes everything kind of cloudy as far as the future of the X-Men at Fox. So who knows if they should just scrap it and get Tatum into an ensemble movie as Gambit asap or just completely forget about it until Disney and Feige take over.

If you get it right when it comes out, the price is like $20 USD. But it kinda depends where you look. A lot of places will probably mark it up or you might be able to find it on sale on Amazon a little while after it's released (I got my Rogue for like $15 this way whereas my LCS is selling it for something like $50). I'm just going to preorder mine on Amazon whenever it's available

Huh. It's odd how, in a relatively short period of time, the different Guilds are popping up in books that Gambit doesn't appear in. First the Assassins Guild in DP and now the NY Thieves Guild in Spiderman? I mean, sure, it's neat to see they exist outside of Gambit's "world", but every time I see a reference to the Guilds, I get hopeful Remy will make an appearance and then...disappointment. Like Dantay said, he's their freaking king, he should at least get a shout out...

so again i dont want to take up un needed space by starting another thread but i do want to talk about something that happened in Hunt for Wolverine Adamantium Agenda, Sinister was a big bad for it and it turns out he has acquired the DNA of everyone on the planet well all the mutants atleast, Tony (Ironman) destroys it all (something Gambit did years ago but whateves) anyway he got a sneakpeak at two tidbits one about Laura but the other reveal is that one of the X-Men isnt actually a mutant and may be a sleeper agent. Now i dont think there is a sleeper agent but maybe Essex found out one of them wasnt a mutant, or already knew about it, someone who has ties to Sinister......Gambit im saying its Gambit the dude was born with red on black eyes but wasnt born a mutant his powers didnt manifest till he was around 14, he used time straight up for defense six weeks past his 15th birthday but they had manifested before that, to my knowledge very few mutants are born mutants i think Multiple Man is one such person, my long winded point is, Gambits eyes are not part of his mutation and depending on the artist sometimes when he is depowered his eyes stay red on black like in XXM 19 untill he got them back in XXM46, what if he is not a mutant but something else and doesnt know it?

Madrox is not a mutant. It was stated a few times in X-Factor that he is smth different.

While I think the art is nice as I always have no matter my views .... look out gang, you are now in the driver seat of money.  Not for just this book and new status quo but even from those who hope to make a living with artwork or other things, not sure how far it goes. Embrace and support in any way, whether its a like or not; buying something or not.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkWqmumU8AAhoK9.jpg:large)Art is by Brett Booth ... this commission is $400. (he should be easy to look up via twitter.

Editor asked me to do one of those "list" articles. While I sincerely detest those, he recommended I do one on Gambit. I said yes. And also yes to at least another. I'm not so much into "fluff" so I want to do a "10-things real fans of Gambit want the rest of you to know"-kinda thing. I want to go further than people misconstruing his powers (but I'm still going there, because it annoys me). Here are some of the subjects I'm going to hit on;


Powers and extended abilities
Pop-culture preferences
Thieves Guild Status
Fighting Style and accomplishments
Origin of his middle-name




Doesn't have to be 10, but I want to know if there are is anything else you guys would like to see on the list?

Cool! Maybe something will be useful.



1. Gambit created Sinister with Courier`s parts when he travelled in old England.


2. About New Sun who killed Apocalypse and Phoenix.
Prophecy about the resurrection of the Old Kingdom, which would "bring all into the light of a new sun." Actually destroyinf the world.


3. Gambit is kinda nerd and a fan of The Little Prince, Harry Potter and Dune.


4. Shared past with Sabretooth.


5. Witness stuff.


6. Gambit has 3 kittens ;D

1. Gambit & Courier did not create Sinister. Apocalypse gave Essex his powers his dying wife gave him his name. Courier theorized that as a result of taking a small sample of his DNA that Sinister was able adapt the same powers

3. also Star Trek
some things not mentioned so far that people may not know....most non fans anyway

1. His red on black eyes are not part of his mutation he has had them since birth
2. He married his childhood sweetheart in an arranged marriage,
3. Mr. Sinister removed a piece of Gambits brain to dampen his powers
4. Gambit has traveled through Time, Space and other Dimensions
5. he appeared in comics for other companies ,in a crossover Gambit and Wolverine stole the Batmobile, he also defeated Nightwing ,Gambit also had a crossover with Nightman
6. He was the Leader of the X-Men along with Rogue when Cyclops died
7. when he lost his powers he defeated a brain washed Bishop and resisted being brainwashed by Bogan too

8. his accent gets thicker when he is in New Orleans 

9. He died and was pulled away from the gates of heaven by Rogue

10. He's super rich, once paying Deadpool 3 million because he was too tired to fight him
i know they are random but pretty sure non fans wouldnt know them, also the marvel is he is an under rated fighter

Agree about Sinister changes.


Don`t agree about eyes that they are not part of his mutation. Kurt was born blue and with tale.
Just his energy powers activated later.

Ah yes Kurt, however when Kurt is depowered he reverts to a human state, when Gambit is depowered his eyes are still red on black though, again see XXM 19 till the end, off the top of my head his eyes always stay red on black with the exception of UXM 379- 380  but that could be coloring related as when the X-Men are depowered Remys pupils are red in some panels and when their powers come back his eyes are white. Same argument i make that his abilities are all natural not power related as when he is depowered he is still the same fighter and acrobat with the same agility and speed, he took out Bishop with no powers.

Yeah, his eyes is always drawn wong so I don`t see it as argument. When he was depowered in X-Treme Annual he had human eyes.


Agree that his abilities are all natural and not power. His reflexes when Best tested hin were the same and depowered Gambit still could trick Bogan as he tricked Shadow King.

Wasnt in the Annual i think it was the 2 part classified thing your thinking of, again its the coloring, my argument is that depending on the colorist even when he has powers his eyes are sometimes wrong, so if his eyes were part of his mutation wouldn't they be normal when he is depowered, surly the writer or editor would say, Gambit has no powers keep his eyes normal, yet 9 times out of 10 when he is depowered his eyes are red on black. if they were part of his mutation they would turn normal no?

Still don't agree. If eyes weren't part of his mutation then Rogue wouldn't absorb his eye color with touch or kiss.


Yeah, artists forgot to draw that too, but it happend in Gambit by Asmus and in R&G when they changed their powerset. And Gambit eyes changed too.

This topic for me is the same as if Gambit charges object with his own energy or just converting potential energy of object into kinetic. In comics he did both variants. It is just depends from writer.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: andresa on August 14, 2018, 01:53:13 PM
The times Gambit's eyes weren't red and black were due to the colorist messing up, this much is obvious. However, I disagree with the argument that they are not part of his mutation.

Yeah, there were times when Gambit was depowered and his eyes were still the same but also there was that time when the High Evolutionary erased the x-gene. Gambit had normal eyes after the fact. Nightcrawler and Beast were normal looking as well. So his eyes were part of his mutation, at least in this case.

If his eyes are not related to his mutation it would mean that Gambit is not just a mutant but also something else. Personally, I don't like this idea.

And there's also this. Although I don't think there's much thought put into this except for the fact that it looks cool.

Yeah i addressed that dude UXM 379-380 the colorist is all over the shop, Remys pupils are red in some panels after the x-gene is gone and then when he gets his powers back his eyes are white/normal. But during XXM 19 onwards his eyes while depowered are Red on Black

@purplevit i forgot about Rogue however she did absorb Deadpools skin cancer and im sure thats not his power,(like i know the whole healing factor experiment messed up his skin but is it his power part of his power?) when she absorbed Wolverine she got his chops too and sometimes his hair style again im sure thats not part of his power
anyway it doesn't matter, i shouldn't have stated it as fact when its not, its not cannon and hasn't been stated in the comics or by a writer

My bad I don't know all the issue numbers by heart. Actually I had just realized that I dumbly mentioned the same example you did.

The fact that Gambit's eyes were white on the last panel after they got their powers back was obviously a coloring mistake. I mean, right after they were depowered his eyes were blue and then in the next issue they were brown. There's no consistency and that's the problem, it doesn't mean his eyes and mutation aren't related.

I read these issues a long time ago so I could be wrong, but their powers weren't simply off then like when they have a power dampener on, it was related to the x-gene so that's why I think this situation is different from the x-treme one.

Ps. is there any other issue where Kurt or Hank changed physically because they couldn't use their powers? Just curious cause I can't think of any.

Hank was in prison before with Wolverine and their powers were turned off  so he reverted back to human state, i cant think of any other instances that wasnt an image inducer being used, i never read Excalibur or X-Factor though or pre Gambit X-Men
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: remydat on August 14, 2018, 08:55:15 PM
Gambit's eyes are red on black when he is a baby and there has never been any indication that his powers manifested at birth.  Only a few mutants like Hope have had such a thing happen.


Then there is the XXM case where his eyes are red on black while depowered.  So I think on balance I would say his eye color is not a part of his mutations.  It is something else that has never been fully explained and is likely tied to his unknown parentage.


I have always thought one of his parents was human and the other something else alien/demon with demon perhaps explaining why he seemed to have a particularly affinity to Deathbit and why it stuck around even after Sinister allegedly removed it.  Of course that is just my head cannon.

Kurt is also the son of a demon and we saw the Bamfs and Azazel have a similar look so I would say that depowered or not that is more a function of his father's lineage.

Rogue kissed Wade. Bella was trying to KILL him. And he's a merc. One of the dangerous in the universe when written the way he should be. Just like Gambit should be the best thief when written correctly. It's okay to be mad about her being killed and I understand why, but don't act shocked that Wade was the one to do it or why he did it.


None of it may matter anyway. Or this is just way after any other story currently being told.

MMX looks good. Kinda miss Gambit's accent though. I get toning it down but it's fracking gone. Haven't seen Gambit freakout like that in a long time... He's genuinely concerned about his wife. Artwork is great.


X-Men Red is still on the cusp for me. Taylor and friends seem hell-bent on riding this "to me my X-Men" thing into the ground. Carmine's art is an upgrade but the colorist is messing it up for me. I don't dig the purple boots on Gambit at all. The story has picked up in the last couple issues, I hope the trend continues.

he wasn't just sitting there he was getting them out of the shackles, you know doing something he is good at, also being showcased here as being good at . A writer showcasing Gambits skills, something we all complain that Marvel has lacked in the past. Going by the dialog it seems they already had a conversation off panel, either that or he instinctively knew she had a plan hence the line "wait til im free before you make your move" , How is freeing them and going with a plan not being proactive, he's ready for a fight and think of the confidence that Remy has in his abilities that he frees Cerise first, knowing it could go wrong and he'd have to fight shackled, that's swagger dude. As for his reaction to his wife getting blown up, yeah its actually quite tame imo but again given the dialog he's counting on her powers to have saved her, so hes 99% sure she's alive. Gambit & Rogue always lost their cool whenever they are in trouble hurt or injured its freaking annoying, always has been this is noting new here.

I actually missed the "wait til I'm free before you make your move," in the top right corner of that panel.  I would agree that makes the rest of the scene much better.


As for them freaking out when the other is in trouble, I didn't say it was unique to this book.  I just find it annoying.  They should be used to it now.  Although with that line above, it may be Gambit is just yelling like a concerned husband to distract them from the fact he is breaking them out.

I loved this issue very much and I think Gambit got the best joke in this issue. Oscar art was really great especially in the action scene and Kelly had a great script with lots of jokes. I was really shocked by the cliffhanger and now it will be really interesting with what happens in the next issue.

I don't get it. But I'm still not ready to bail on this book yet. It's not bad, but it's far from "good". It's OK. It just lacks life. You've got Storm, Jean, Nightcrawler and Gambit on a team, yet they behave as if they barely known each other. There's no heart in their exchanges. Gabby seems to be the only one allowed to show signs of life. Jean, one of the most passionate and emotionally charged characters in all of X-Men comes off like a robot. And whats with the colorist and using so much black? It's hard to go from MMX to XMR from a purely visual standpoint. Art is good Carmen is does great work, but her lines are muddied by the palate choices.


And for goodness sake... his name is Teen Abomination? Who thought that was good idea?

I've been enjoying this series, but that's a valid point. I think it would help if there were fewer characters so it gives the others room to develop some more. Or at least focus on different characters different issues.

I think X-men Red is just fine.  They really haven't had a chance to just shoot the s*** as they have been jumping all across the globe from the start of this.  I mean Gambit joined the team and immediately goes on a mission away from Storm so no real time for them to interact.  Then s*** goes sideways on the plane fairly quick.

Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: DonPriceTag on September 08, 2018, 09:46:41 PM
When I say "bad" I don't mean ''not talented'. Coates is an accomplished writer with big ideas and Taylor writes his @$$ off at DC. But in Marvel, both of them suffer from the same inability to write a story without injecting their personal crusades and feelings. Funny thing is, it wouldn't be all that bad but they don't even try to hide it or use cleaver allegory. I find it obvious, uninventive and completely distracting. Pulls me out of the book.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch

Kelly Thompson just confirmed on her tumblr that Gambit and Rogue will not be appearing in the upcoming X-Men Disassembled.


I understood from her post that MMX won`t have Uncanny tie-in.


I think Gambit and Rogue still will appear in Uncanny later. Will see.


KT: "...As for the specifics of Uncanny…all I can say is that we talked quite a bit about giving Rogue and Gambit roles in the weekly book, but I felt (and others agreed) that because there was not the opportunity for them to have really significant roles in that story (those roles were already spoken for - with good reason that I think will make sense to people as they begin to read) - that it wasn’t worth it to integrate their duo book into this narrative. There was one cool thing I wanted Rogue to get to do in that weekly, but the price was WAY too high for that to happen. It can be a real mistake to force a young book like ours into a huge narrative like Uncanny…and I really felt like it would hurt us and the story we were trying to tell (others agreed). More importantly, and for reasons I can’t divulge at this time, using Rogue and Gambit for the weekly Uncanny event would have dramatically changed our narrative going forward and nobody (especially me) thought that was a good idea for the characters of Rogue and Gambit OR their new book. You can disagree with that now if you like, but since I have a lot more information than you do, you might want to hold off and see how you feel later. Just a suggestion though, do as you please, people always do. "

KT: MMX 1 - MMX 5: Arc 1
MMX 6: Arc 2 (1 issue…so maybe not an arc, which is why it’s confusing?)
MMX 7 - MMX 9 (or MMX 10, I’m still deciding): Arc 3

 Fabian Nicieza Interview: Wade's World--The Deadpool Podcast Episode #65

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsCH31OLHec (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsCH31OLHec)

Gambit talk from 26 to 31 minute.

- Fabian liked Gambit out of the X-Men more then he liked him in the X-Men.
- He liked writing solo much more then writing him in a team book. Gambit had such a baggage forced on him and has such a nebulous origin
- Chris told possible storylines when he was introducing for the character
- Howard Mackie, Lee Weeks, Bob Harris helped Fabian to define how he saw Gambit. Also helped to define first mini with Thieves Guild.
- For Fabian Gambit is not an X-Men but a Romeo and Juliet set in New Orleans
-  Would love more to do a 14-15 year old Gambit TV series with Bella then about Gambit as 25 or 26 year old Thief. Just more story there that interests him.
- When he was writing Gambit solo he was also offered to write a big Gambit Novel with story in Present day and past. He was up to page 275 but Marvel cancelled contract with book company. 200 pages away from finishing.
- He thinks that Gambit would work better as Netflix TV series then as movie. He thinks that character strength is not in 2 hour movie but in serialized storytelling. And he would love to base it without X-Men in New Orleans and with Guilds.

Glad to see our favorite Cajun get top 10! I'm surprised he even beat Rogue in the polls considering how much more Marvel has featured Rogue in comics the last five years. Maybe this can be a sign to Marvel that they should have Gambit featured more prominently in comics after keeping him in limbo from 2015-2018 and seemingly trying to kill his fanbase with crappy writers and crappy stories. Despite all that they should realize that we still support him. Don't know how this will affect anything but one can wish.

Few comments on the poll
-I didn't vote since I am not on twitter.


Gambit: Pretty good, the era of bad story lines didn't damage Gambit as it would have for other characters if they were given equal treatment.


Emma/ Jean: I don't know why telepaths are so interesting to people but they are.


Bishop:His character was destroyed during Messiah Complex for Hope Summers and she gets 2 votes.


Magneto: So much for being the best anti hero in Marvel.


Nightcrawler: Awesome placement.


Rogue: Should always be a top 5 X-Man still quite respectable placement this time.


Fantomax is a better creation than Gambit argument goes out the window even with the hardcore fans.


Cyclops: Over a decade was spent on him being the focal point of the X-Men series. Was the X-Men series better for it?

You know what numbers 1 through 7 looks like (maybe sub out 7 for 8 for some marital good feelings... or keep it for some splendid drama?!)? A book that would sell better than just about anything the X-Men have put out in years... or decades at this point. The 90's are almost 20 years away, old people!

Rogue was only with Avengers.Now with MMX 1 and it seems MMX6 thei frrinds are with them again. Love it.Also can`t wait for Gambit family to appear.Excited what next villains in this series will be.

Same here. Even though Gambit has been in Red and was in Astonishing, he hasn't really interacted with anyone other than Rogue much, so I'm hoping MMX6 will scratch that itch

I said it before I will say it again this is a great time to be a Gambit fan. Marvel has been showing lots of interest with Gambit and he has been appearnicing in some really interesting books,  games and  action figures. Gambit after being added to recent games such as Marvel CoC and Puzzle Quest will soon be a playable character for the Marvel Future Fight game.  The teaser looks dope.

I used to play FF when the game initially had started and it is really a fun game. It is very similar to games such as X-Men legend or Marvel Ulitmate Alliance. Marvel CoC is a typical fighting side by side fighting game and it is also good.
Gambit in CoC is average but he is a beast in Puzzle Quest.

Issues 1 and 2 were far more Rogue centric, but if you pay attention to the amount of butt-hurt over at CBR's Rogue's thread, you'd notice that #3 was Gambit heavy. I think it'll be getting more Gambit centered in that arc because they'll be dealing with the Guilds and his family, which I think was inevitable.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch

Please don't take this wrong but that thread on CBR is butthurt all the time. If Rogue isn't front and center and important all the time to the detriment of any other character, they are not happy.

100% agree. I all but lectured them on their BS last week when that Jen character complained about Rogue now being nothing but "Gambit's Wife" because she isnt an active Avenger... Xel brought up how much thread activity had dropped and I pointed out that just because she's not in a book every week, doesnt mean you post. Us Gambit fans posted for years without a solid roster spot. It's like they cant talk to one another without saying how "awesome" what she did last week was. Also had to make sure they knew the UA was not the "flagship" title it was under Remender. That not even one thing that happened in that book survived it's cancellation. Of course they don't like reality and facts. But I also pointed out that it was kind of the opposite reaction from the Gambit fans. Being afraid of him being nothing but her husband. I find it funny that some people on both sides are saying the same thing, but in reverse. I think if everyone got over their individual bias, we could have some good conversations... not Jen, Cat, and Xel. Those three are crazy and treat Rogue like she's a real person. I find it disturbing. It's like they don't understand the only person to have genuine hate for is Fantomex. Everyone should hate Fantomex. Like, love to hate him... And hate, him, too. Passionately.

So, no sales watch? No obsession over it like in the past with other books G has been in? I tease.

I looked, the drop between issue 1 and 2 of Mr and Mrs X is more than half. Those variants didn't help as much I thought they would. As someone who likes variants, that stinks because if they can't help a book, less will get commissioned.

Isn't that how you are with Gambit? Isn't that why you won't read Mr. and Mrs. X? Because you don't think Gambit'll be better or even equal? That's not a bad thing and I definitely understand skepticism but it's a little bit of the pot calling the kettle black here. I mean you are definitely better about it than some people over there on the Rogue side and you aren't as... aggressive about it as some posters over there are who even get remydat to defend Romy to a degree. Anyway, mostly just making a joking observation and hope you don't take this bad. ;)

I remember CBR's last sales thread discussion. People were lamenting (and of course some gloating) about Domino's big drop between one and two. And Gail Simone (the writer) popped in briefly to say the book was doing better than those numbers reflected (because they weren't real numbers anyway) and the most interesting thing she said was that the store order issue two before they even get issue one. So issue two numbers aren't even based on how issue one sells, it based purely on what the store 'guess' issues one and two will sell.

Because it has only a few variants till issue 3. Most Marvel ongoings has at least 3 variants even on issue 5.


The same situation as with R&G. All new books has such drop.

100% agree. I all but lectured them on their BS last week when that Jen character complained about Rogue now being nothing but "Gambit's Wife" because she isnt an active Avenger... Xel brought up how much thread activity had dropped and I pointed out that just because she's not in a book every week, doesnt mean you post. Us Gambit fans posted for years without a solid roster spot. It's like they cant talk to one another without saying how "awesome" what she did last week was. Also had to make sure they knew the UA was not the "flagship" title it was under Remender. That not even one thing that happened in that book survived it's cancellation. Of course they don't like reality and facts. But I also pointed out that it was kind of the opposite reaction from the Gambit fans. Being afraid of him being nothing but her husband. I find it funny that some people on both sides are saying the same thing, but in reverse. I think if everyone got over their individual bias, we could have some good conversations... not Jen, Cat, and Xel. Those three are crazy and treat Rogue like she's a real person. I find it disturbing. It's like they don't understand the only person to have genuine hate for is Fantomex. Everyone should hate Fantomex. Like, love to hate him... And hate, him, too. Passionately.


Yep! I saw Rogue thread and stayed away from it. Arguments won`t help there. The most funny thing is when posters tell there bad thing about Rogue`s role in MMX and they don`t even read this book, lol ;D  Gambit centric issue really made them crazy.

Asked KT some questions on Tumblr:





Any hope to see Gambit using "Bang you dead" phrase again? I am so glad that Thieves Guild will appear.
(https://assets.tumblr.com/images/anonymous_avatar_96.gif)
I’ve been trying to work it in I’m hopeful! ;D




MMX 3 was my favourite issue of this series so far. Can we hope to see Gambit using his powers more in creative way? Creative use of Remy's powers was my favourite part of his last solo.
(https://assets.tumblr.com/images/anonymous_avatar_96.gif)
Thank you!
I’m trying on Remy’s powers. Creative use of super powers is one of my favorite things. But fitting into the narrative can be tricky. We’ll see!

EDA: I DO have one really badass thing I want to use very much…but getting approval for it has not been easy!

I have a response ....... give me a day. I like our discussion  - and thank you in advance.

Edit: Guess I don't have a response; you aren't wrong. It's all true, and I don't mind being the kettle.

I had a longer response but after typing it out and all that, I changed my mind. I can't justify anyone's wasted time on it. LOL

I'm only buying art (cover art), that is the best I can do for support.


Like I said that's fine. I don't even read or buy the comics anymore (outside of that one recent exception) because I guess I have a weird fandom for Gambit where even though he's my favorite I think my favorite version of him is one with Rogue involved or at least a possibility because I like him with her and as a hero and also for some reason Rogue's the only thing that anyone seems to let tie him to being one of the X-Men or a hero anymore. Plus I really just got sick of Marvel after One More Day so when they also tanked Gambit and Rogue and especially the way they did I personally had no more reason to support their comics. I might pick Mr. And Mrs. X up in trade sometime but I don't think it's sounded as interesting or big as suddenly Gambit and Rogue are married in order to warrant me breaking my boycott, for lack of a better word, again. Certainly not anytime soon at least.


Just figured I'd point out that's how you treat Gambit in regards to Rogue and that's not a bad thing just a different side of the same coin. Everybody's fans of things for different reasons and I always feel like I have some weird abomination of a Gambit in my mind hearing how a lot of other fans describe him and what they like about him. Also, especially since the miniseries was apparently supposed to end them 'for good' as much as that's ever a thing in comics, I feel like once Mr. And Mrs. X is done Romy probably will be too. Hopefully I'm wrong because that would be just as silly but I haven't understood what Marvel's been up to for a long time now.

This is a long post, you've been warned. I'll probably edit for spelling and dropped words, hoping not so bad you can't get my meaning. Okay, on with the show.

That is a sad thing, isn't it? The only thing tying Gambit to the Xmen is Rogue? That should never have been the case and that is on Marvel. I've said this plenty of times, there is more to Gambit than Rogue. It's Marvel's inability to show the hero side of Gambit. And when they do tie him to Xmen, there is so much interference and ego from  all involved, you get nothing out of it.

 
Gambit's relationship with Wolverine, Iceman, Storm, X23, Jean and Cyke shouldn't be non-existent. He shouldn't need to be attached to Rogue to be a hero.

 
What's wrong is never actually developing Gambit beyond a solo or mini and actually building the friendships. One of my favorite bromance is Wolverine and Gambit  - they had a mini together and when they stole the Batmobile, I laughed so much. Liu had them go on a road trip and I enjoyed that too.

 
Plus I really just got sick of Marvel after One More Day so when they also tanked Gambit and Rogue and especially the way they did I personally had no more reason to support their comics.

Certainly not anytime soon at least.

 
I feel like the mini was approximately 20 years too late or at least for me. The mini clean up should have happened long ago to make the series actually make sense now. Having ups and downs would have been tolerable had the clean up actually happened when it needed to be. IMO. The divide between the groups may not be a strong as it is today had that happened but that is speculation on my part.

Just figured I'd point out that's how you treat Gambit in regards to Rogue and that's not a bad thing just a different side of the same coin.

Hopefully I'm wrong because that would be just as silly but I haven't understood what Marvel's been up to for a long time now.


 
I recognized I'm the flip side of a coin, no different from the other side in views. The divide has been around a long time and there will be those two sides who never see eye to eye on the romy thing. Just the way it is, I'm used to it. The band aid of the mini or this series isn't going to fix what Marvel should have done long ago.

 
You did bring up a good point, once this all said and done, it could easily be ignored for whatever the next writer wants to do.

 
As long as there are writers who want to pair Rogue up with their favorite (KT included), then Rogue is also reduced to love interest, her camp isn't wrong there. Gambit is also not in a good place either because once Rogue is moved to another book, he gets sidelined.

 
I want a buddy book, if this can be done well on TV, it really shouldn't be so hard for a comic book. I read romance novels for hea's and romance and its done far better than a comic could ever do. That includes sci-fi or fantasy elements in the stories. There may be some ups and downs between the couple but in general, better written.

 
In the end, those who love this series, enjoy this book.

Gambit don't need Rogue to be a hero and it was shown in MMX 3 pretty well.


Cyke and Wolverine are dead.
Gambit interacted with Jean in RED. Not a lot but he did and without Rogue.
With X-23 Gambit also interacted in all her solos and X-Men Annual.
With Storm only small moments but mostly always shown as good friends when together.


Gambit and Iceman never were really close.


Gambit in MMX is good and much better then in Astonishing, RED or any other last books with Gambit. Issue 3 and even previews for #4 shows it.

That's the thing; there is so much more to Gambit. Asmus proved in my opinion that Gambit can thrive away from the X-Men or exist on the outskirts of their world. But you know what Marvel does? Slice off pieces of him and graft them onto other characters, and take chunks of his lore and add them to characters that have absolutely nothing do with it. Or take what makes him the coolest and water it down so much, it becomes a running joke. I think it goes to editorial allowing writers that are still jaded by their love of the 80s and disappointment of not seeing their favorites in the X-Men series take out their frustrations on the characters they see as the reason. Basically ignoring the amount of fandom he and others of his ilk.

I was thinking about this ... the writers and their dislike for the 1990's characters and yet they create characters like Sharkgirl. And she is not called that in other places, far more derogatory in fact. I'm picking her out because I can't think of the others but not one of the new ones would ever get my attention. Yet, a character with a well built back story is treated like dirt. I don't get it.

This hobby is dying for me.

I think my second least favorite thing that happens to Gambit also plays into his weird disconnection from the X-Men... the weird lack of trust in him by apparently anybody. It makes no sense given his history and how many times he's proven himself to be a hero outside of that dumb Death thing which stupid as it was still wasn't him trying to betray anybody but Apocalypse. So that's probably the other big thing that contributes to that along with what Don said about his best attributes being chopped off of him and divvied out and him being watered down into a goof who is apparently bad at the thing he's actually the best at for whatever reason. It's also weird with all the chances that old terrorist gets. That's why I like Rogue and Gambit issue 4 because it addressed that a bit. It has the only scene that almost addresses the crux of their problems particularly recently... the stupid no trust thing.


I would like to know more of when you think Romy was most broken for you since I felt like it was good in X-Treme X-Men and then Milligan and Carey happened. Having found X-Treme after having subscribed to X-Men for what turned out to be the Milligan run made me dislike his run much more in retrospect. I think XXM is probably my favorite run of Romy because there wasn't so much drama or no touching stuff to be exploited for cheap drama. I could be misremembering it though and I do tend to have rose-tinted glasses about things I like if I can.


I do feel like it's broken currently even if they're married because I don't think Rouge And Gambit did enough to fix any of their problems since it only 'addressed' the old news and not really any of the fresher trash from the past 10 plus years. That old terrorist was not exploring and he never should've been he's the worst person outside of her own 'mom' Mystique or Mr. Sinister to get with as seriously as it could be bothered to be written and then try to wave it off and get back with Gambit. It feels wrong and then after that she still went to the Human Torch and Deadpool and treated Gambit like some weird afterthought hanger-on who maybe she hadn't really loved and so it's just really hollow. I'm not gonna hold my breath given what Kelly Thompson has stated about addressing any of their more recent issues namely that she isn't gonna but I feel like there's an outside chance that the Mojoverse stuff could be used for that if they're reliving their past and that might be enough to get my interest in breaking my no money for Marvel stance again.


Anyway I also agree it's weird none of Gambit's other relationships in the X-Men are ever developed or used outside of Rogue and occasionally Storm. I mean a lot of them are dead or Avengers or whatever but even before then it definitely seems like no one knows how to or (more likely unfortunately) wants to tie Gambit to the X-Men and being a hero outside of Rogue. Thanks for the reply and hopefully reading this also sorta long response.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Nekobaghira on October 17, 2018, 05:49:13 PM
Hello albahan888,
Well thought out response. I enjoyed reading it.
My response will have some errors, I'll fix as I find them. :)


Re: The trust thing. That is a one a few sources of my ire with the coupling. I think in the beginning of the relationship as Marvel was working through this relationship, it seemed to be okay, as in tolerable in a new relationship. However, it was dragged on for far longer than needed in the relationship. At this point, the no trust thing needs to be addressed and put to bed. Its fake angst for the sake of drama. For some odd reason people who write don't know when to say when; when it comes to certain elements.

Re: Xtreme Xmen
I don't know if you are miss-remembering that book series or not but there are things that stand out for me. It's perplexing and makes my wonder about the "love" for it.  Based on some elements laid out had the series continued, I suspect there would have been some drama for the couple.

I thought it odd, that as soon as Gambit and Rogue said they'd work on their relationship, that they were shipped out the book or put on the back burner for about 4 issues or so. And outside of showing their house and what they're up to, there was nothing more than, oh hey - they're a couple and sometimes the walk on the beach.

The kissing in XXM. Gambit kisses a naked Storm. He's been helping her cope with her injuries and they smooch. Gambit gets a bit more s*** for that despite the fact he tells Storm that his heart belongs to Rogue. He's merely trying to give her an ego boost. Probably a better way to do that but ... is what it is. I won't even deny, he shouldn't have kissed Storm.

Rogue kisses Bishop, and then she wraps her legs around his hips. Now, there are those who like to believe she didn't do that. She did, I'll attach the image. She may not have been lip-locked when her legs were wrapped around Bishop but the bottom line ... that isn't a believable situation. Yeah, I know, she's showing off she can touch people. Inappropriate if you are really trying a relationship with another guy. I'm tired of people not admitting that she wrapped her legs around Bishop.

Re: MMX
The problem hasn't changed from what I can tell. Rogue was never written to apologize in the mini until the last issue. That was an issue for me and still is, she says all these things but gets a hall pass. It would have been more heart felt, stating it earlier. Having Gambit telling her, she doesn't have to apologize was disappointing. Yes, she did.

I'm with Remydat with the power issue, who cares. I know I don't. These issues are long standing, power and trust - its been the backbone of the relationship for far too long. There was 20 years of this sort of thing, give or take a year or two in either direction. It needs to move forward and in whatever direction but these elements are overdone.

RE: Other relationships for Gambit. Not touching all the stuff with Rogue as I've said before, its whomever the writer of her wants her to be with. It shows no growth for her. What should have been for her is for her to realize she still cared about Gambit but that was never written. The mini  and series aside, I mean the other books for which she had "relationships".

There is the blind eye to other characters and Gambit and it really is disappointing. There is an attraction between Polaris and Gambit (not revenge or any of that stuff for the record). And there is an attraction between Sage and Gambit.  That is in the books. The point being whats good for the goose, good for the gander, as the saying goes. It's not explored because only Rogue can sow her oats, and Gambit's rep already supplies the ideology without doing anything.


Re: Gambit and the Xmen
We both agree this is an oddity with Marvel writing. Whether his bromance buddies are dead or not, it is hard to believe he's been around the Xmen all this time and is still on the outside looking in .... its unrealistic.


In general, while I don't expect a ton of realism in comic books; suspension of belief is reserved for powers, aliens, sci-fi and fantasy. There is no room for that with relationships. In fact, it would be better grounded with those things if the relationships were actually written better or more realistically. IMO.

BTW - we all have our rose tinted glasses, it just depends which things we wish to see or not see. LOL

Oof, another long one. LOL

Cc definitely seemed to be more of a hippie, free love type, as he didn't consider egg there of those things to be a big deal.


And with saying that, while a story should still make in of itself, it's hard d to just ignore meta reasons and just plain bad writing. Should a plot point/development from a bad story be kept around forever? Or should it hav some explanation, be dealt with and move on to better stories? Because the middle aged, European male writing the story thought the hot girl should be with the middle aged European male character, in story that really only made sense to him should that stand forever? Should the stupid horseman of death story stand forever? Obviously not.


I think KT's 'she got scared and ran because she was so inexperienced',works well enough for that. (Unless you want to get into a deep dive into abuse dynamics, which marvel doesn't want to do) It also works for explaining torch, Deadpool, etc. she was 'running' so nothing else lasted either. Yes, I know Carey was intending roguneto to be long lasting and serious, but because it was a bad story (and wasn't really 'selling') it didn't last and was mostly long distance (already started 'running', lol)


So I'm willingly to move on from that story, like I'm willing to move on from horseman of death, and psychotic bishop.


On the other topic of other relationships for Gambit, X-23 has been the only recent one and I love their dynamic. I hope it sticks around and I want storm (and bishop) back, too!

It's not like she caught him by surprise as he was already looking at her and it's not like it's a gunshot. It just seems a little frustrating these days (and for the past couple years) that Gambit is only allowed to take down no name thugs/guards who have no super powers, unless of course somebody else (like the Shadow King) is controlling his body."

KT: "It’s actually hilarious you asked this.
I wrote for him to get skewered from behind. When the art came in I thought we should ask for a tweak because I thought it made Remy look less skilled/slower/less acrobatic than he is. Editorial disagreed. And it’s a gorgeous panel as is, so we left it as is.
Guess there are some folks that agree with me. Or at least one! ��
Comics are compromise. And they’re never perfect. Is what it is!"

Anyone else see that Zombie issue Marvel just put out? There's a panel where Black Widow shoots a zombie who looks an awful like a certain cajun.

Hello albahan888,
Well thought out response. I enjoyed reading it.
My response will have some errors, I'll fix as I find them. :)


Re: The trust thing. That is a one a few sources of my ire with the coupling. I think in the beginning of the relationship as Marvel was working through this relationship, it seemed to be okay, as in tolerable in a new relationship. However, it was dragged on for far longer than needed in the relationship. At this point, the no trust thing needs to be addressed and put to bed. Its fake angst for the sake of drama. For some odd reason people who write don't know when to say when; when it comes to certain elements.

Re: Xtreme Xmen
I don't know if you are miss-remembering that book series or not but there are things that stand out for me. It's perplexing and makes my wonder about the "love" for it.  Based on some elements laid out had the series continued, I suspect there would have been some drama for the couple.

I thought it odd, that as soon as Gambit and Rogue said they'd work on their relationship, that they were shipped out the book or put on the back burner for about 4 issues or so. And outside of showing their house and what they're up to, there was nothing more than, oh hey - they're a couple and sometimes the walk on the beach.

The kissing in XXM. Gambit kisses a naked Storm. He's been helping her cope with her injuries and they smooch. Gambit gets a bit more s*** for that despite the fact he tells Storm that his heart belongs to Rogue. He's merely trying to give her an ego boost. Probably a better way to do that but ... is what it is. I won't even deny, he shouldn't have kissed Storm.

Rogue kisses Bishop, and then she wraps her legs around his hips. Now, there are those who like to believe she didn't do that. She did, I'll attach the image. She may not have been lip-locked when her legs were wrapped around Bishop but the bottom line ... that isn't a believable situation. Yeah, I know, she's showing off she can touch people. Inappropriate if you are really trying a relationship with another guy. I'm tired of people not admitting that she wrapped her legs around Bishop.

Re: MMX
The problem hasn't changed from what I can tell. Rogue was never written to apologize in the mini until the last issue. That was an issue for me and still is, she says all these things but gets a hall pass. It would have been more heart felt, stating it earlier. Having Gambit telling her, she doesn't have to apologize was disappointing. Yes, she did.

I'm with Remydat with the power issue, who cares. I know I don't. These issues are long standing, power and trust - its been the backbone of the relationship for far too long. There was 20 years of this sort of thing, give or take a year or two in either direction. It needs to move forward and in whatever direction but these elements are overdone.

RE: Other relationships for Gambit. Not touching all the stuff with Rogue as I've said before, its whomever the writer of her wants her to be with. It shows no growth for her. What should have been for her is for her to realize she still cared about Gambit but that was never written. The mini  and series aside, I mean the other books for which she had "relationships".

There is the blind eye to other characters and Gambit and it really is disappointing. There is an attraction between Polaris and Gambit (not revenge or any of that stuff for the record). And there is an attraction between Sage and Gambit.  That is in the books. The point being whats good for the goose, good for the gander, as the saying goes. It's not explored because only Rogue can sow her oats, and Gambit's rep already supplies the ideology without doing anything.


Re: Gambit and the Xmen
We both agree this is an oddity with Marvel writing. Whether his bromance buddies are dead or not, it is hard to believe he's been around the Xmen all this time and is still on the outside looking in .... its unrealistic.


In general, while I don't expect a ton of realism in comic books; suspension of belief is reserved for powers, aliens, sci-fi and fantasy. There is no room for that with relationships. In fact, it would be better grounded with those things if the relationships were actually written better or more realistically. IMO.

BTW - we all have our rose tinted glasses, it just depends which things we wish to see or not see. LOL

Oof, another long one. LOL


Haha she didn't just wrap her legs around him, she locked them, and her crotch is right on top of his, with him looking shocked....that shock may be the kiss itself but it may also be a subtle suggestion she's grinding her cookie on his cod. The guy in the background seems to be surprised/worried looking AT where her butt is, implying there must be....something....going on there (movement/grinding, etc).

I know, right? .... Yet Rogue's devotees won't even admit this actually happened in a book or how it looks.

She is also in daisy duke shorts.

While I'm at it, Rogue's past liaisons are known characters. Gambit's?  All unknowns, talk about unequal. All people do is complain if a known characters gets within inches of him. But Torch, Magneto, Deadpool ... and what not for Rogue ... oh hey, thats okay. Makes it more legit, right?<sarcasm.

The update will be at 11 pm on the 23rd October so you make the purchase after that. It is guaranteed that you will get 20 Gambit biometrics per day which will be about 600 bios in a month. You will need 630 to level him to 6*. I am not sure but you might be able to rank him up with a 2/3/4/5*star ticket and use m'kraan crystal to increase his mastery.

I have 3*Rogue that I will upgrade to 4* today. She is not interesting to play at all. Don`t like her in this game.


Wolverine I have only from X-men missions. He is 2 or 3 star. I got stuck on mission to collect some 1500 stones.

I think I don`t have any tier 2 so far.

How can I find you in game? I am purplevit13 there.

Gambit looks like Cyclops on the panel. His outfit is questionable and so is Rogue's. I'll never understand all the love for Bachalo's art. I think it is and has always been ugly and rough.

Feel the same way. I really can't stand it and it was part of the reason I quite reading Bendis' X-Men. You know, other than it being horrid. I remember he did some issues of AvX as well. I believe he gets lots of work because his style allows him to churn out work quickly. It's pretty devoid of any detail. Any weird lines is just looked at as style.


And Gambit looks #&#&#&$ ridiculous.

2019 Marvel Legends Gambit will be released. Found this on twitter


Anyone else think something looks off about this? I'm very excited he's finally getting a ML figure and I will definitely get it the day it comes out, but there is something about it that just doesn't look right. He almost looks cartoonish.

His had is off. Don't like how big is his face but small head with strange hair.

It looks like the Magneto, Wolverine, and Spidey from this Revoltech series are all about $75 USD, so we can probably expect Gambit to be priced similarly. I might still have to splurge, though. It's just so cool

My husband has a Boba Fett from Revoltech. It’s smaller than just about all of the other figures in our collection but it doesn't look bad at all. And although there are a lot of small pieces, they do stick together pretty well. We never lost a piece. It’s a pain in the neck to clean, though.   

I'm really tempted to get this one. The bright colors look good and even the manga face is not bad.

Just popped over to see if you guys saw that revoltech Gambit. Can see you did  :) So excited for this. Pretty much the perfect Gambit figure IMO. Love that Capcom anime style. I even custom made a ML Gambit back in the day to fit this style, but this one blows my attempt out of the water.
Only downside, wont really have a chance to enjoy the upcoming Hasbro offering with this one coming out so soon. Almost too much Gambit product at once, if that were possible... :laugh:

lol I like how some were finally convinced that this film wasn't happening was because of Tatum's recent haircut. Not the amount of directors exiting, or the script changes, or the filming delays...


"the HAIRCUT! It's over!"


Seriously though, I feel for the ones that kept defending the film...I wanted it to happen too a long while back, but it's becoming a farce and it was looking like a really bad film destined for failure.
That said, nothing's officially confirmed that it's NOT happening. But personally, I don't want this to go ahead anymore, and even some of the Gambit fans are over it too.

I totally agree. Was SO excited when film was announced years ago. But since then, Fox has done so much to damage the X-men brand, while the Marvel studios brand has become near invincible. Just seems like the best way to salvage the X-Men brand is to scrap any and all Fox related projects and let Marvel build them back when they come home.
I have 0 faith that anybody has any idea about making a good Gambit film over at Fox, and a bad Gambit film would almost certainly damage the character beyond repair.

Unfortunately, that could be the case. Though with MCU, they do have a knack of frequently releasing Avengers/Solo Avenger films in a short time.


If they want to be ambitious with X-Men, they should try to look beyond just "Wolverine-Wolverine-Wolverine" like what the idiots at Fox did and push other characters like Gambit, Storm, Cyclops, Rogue etc, either in solos or perhaps split the teams like "Blue & Gold" or maybe add an "X-Force". Have a real balance like what the MCU did with the Avengers. That's probably Gambit's best chance.

Years ago, Fabian was asked about his thoughts of a Gambit movie and he thought that Gambit would be great on the small screen.  That a TV show would suit the character better. I remember at the time thinking, what? No. A movie would be great. Now, I think he wasn't wrong. With Disney launching their own streaming service .... a Gambit adventure show wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

They're giving Loki, Scarlet Witch, and Cassian from Rogue One their own shows. They might as well tap into a popular X-Men character (other than Wolverine because he'll probably be a staple for the movies again). Gambit would make a lot of sense. Heck, get Fabian to write it and I think you've got a hit

Looking at these trades, Layman's is expensive for 13 issues. IMO. You are getting more issues with the other two trades. I guess its comparable.

Xmen Gambit - The Complete Collection Vol 2, release date 12/24/18 - look at that a Christmas present. At Amazon its $34.99.
I'll look into the price for the Asmus one but I thought that had been collected before.

edit: The Asmus one with 18 issues is also $34.99 from Amazon.

Layman is a good guy - he most likely was given some "goals", like with Asmus.

I think having all the trades is good. Whether you like the author or not. I want them.
KT's will get collected. I'm sure. :)


He may be a fine guy but his Gambit run is my least favourite.
His Guilds were terrible and Gambit lost a fight to some Fish Man.

Yes, I am sure it will.

C'mon now … and in MMX Gambit beats up nobodies and gets speared by a somebody while looking in their direction.

Layman's run was terrible the art was bad, the writing was bad, it didn't feel like a Gambit book at all

All I said was he is a nice guy.

On an unrelated note - is Cyke guest starring in MMX?
Edit:
(guess not)
I saw a tweet with an image. ComicsTalks made a post about the current issue and Gambit referencing Cyke. My bad.

C'mon. Gambit hadn't kicked any asses with style as good as in MMX in any other book in last 10 years. All latest his projects like X-Factor, RED, 2 AXM books, Asmus solo are not even close on his h2h and agility as were shown in MMX.


He was speared in lame way because of Editors. Confirmed.


With the same thing he got shot into head in Asmus solo, got gun shot in second Mackie mini, and a lot of other craps in books.


MMX has it's problems but it has also amazing moments for Gambit like the whole MMX 3 and escape in MMX 4.

Yeah. Even Ketchum who were fighting hard for Gambit solo made lame Gambir stories in other X books.


Will see what White will do with Gambit after AOX. We will have books reboot for sure with new projects.


MMX has it is strong and weak sides.
Will see how next big arc will end so I can make my final opinion on it.

Yeah - I know. Which is too bad because Ketchum was good at the start.

White does seem to care but he is in charge and has a lot to manage. He'll have to pick his priorities based on the companies directives (goals or wants).

Reboot can be good or bad, it really depends. Disney will be more of a factor than we ever thought. Be that good or bad, not sure.

It seems to me, and I could be wrong but you've brought up some books and things that I had not thought of prior.

Is it possible there is a sacrifice for one thing or another. For example, good fight scenes no characterization on MMX. All the books prior no good fight scenes but decent characterization. Why not both? What is desired more? Would you rather good fight scenes and no character development or character development and mediocre fight scenes? Lets look at that ... that could be an interesting discussion. I'm intrigued.  :)


Edit: This sort of started with Layman's run - but if .... it can acknowledged that editorial was a problem with Asmus and KT's runs or other runs. Don't you think its possible that Layman dealt with editorial too? Has it not occurred that maybe what he wanted to do and what showed up in print might be different things? Why does some writers get the pass and others do not.

While we're discussing this, its not Editorials name on the books. Yes, they get print space but they're not the "star" as it were. It's not Marvel Edited book with art by Marvel chosen and here is "book". That isn't how its done.

Interesting.


You know that I like MMX much more so I will make more positive view of it :)


I don't agree that it has no characterisation for Gambit. Let's start ;)


Writing this from memory so I could forgot smth.


MMX 1


Gambit is reunited and supported by his friends with whom he hadn't spoken (some of them) for years.
Small but good lines with Storm, X-23, Bishop (More dialogue then Soule did for them in 12 AXM issues) , Bling (he was her mentor and I doubt that they would talk again in any other book) .


Normal action fight with Imperial Gurad.


MMX 2


Fine thieving skills with lockpic.
Twice blown up Deadpool.


Agile and cool fight with Space aliens.


MMX 3
Just amazing issue. Neko, you will like it!


Gambit makes plan how to defeat space ship that attacks them. Lead Deadpool to a fight. 2 dps of grwat fight. Wade is injured in fight twice but Gambit dodged everything. Cool ralk with Deathbird where he frightens her and she go away. He stos ship. Best Gambit in years.


Big characterisation at the end of issue where he told Rogue about his motives and moral compass.


MMX 4


Great skills ans plan where he makes escape from prison. One of the best Gambit scenss ever.


Not so much after this. Injured by Deathbird in a lame way.


MMX 5


Not a fan of issue. Kinda did nothing to save the day.
Had small but still cool fight.


Was shown as good husband I guess. Well, it is a book about new husband and wife after all.

Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: purplevit on November 25, 2018, 06:02:33 PM
Ofcourse Layman had editors.


But I don't think tgey were his biggest problem. Just his writing:)


Amsus and Fabian both had problems with Editors but they made good books.


But thanks to Editors that they didn't alow Asmua to make Gambit Bi.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch

I will take good fights over characterization, now.


Gambit best fights were years ago in a books that current writers won't even read to macke a character study.
He need new stable fights to show how cool, agile and great h2h he is.


Of course good characterization he also needs.

I wonder .. is it because of panel space, do they (writer and all) need to manage it better- knowing you only have so much space to work with a thing.

As a group, we've noticed failed endings often. In many books - maybe the short arc isn't the way to go for some of these stories.

I don't know, but pondering the ideas is good. LOL
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Sparta on November 26, 2018, 06:16:56 AM

Just to bring up John Layman again, I have criticised his 'Gambit' run in the past. But just to be fair (because I don't want to sound too anti-Layman) I've looked at some of his other works, one of them being 'Chew'...and it's quite good, and got a lot of great reviews as well (and rightfully so).


But...


...honestly his 'Gambit' was very poor. In his opening interview he mentioned being inspired by Paris Hilton sex tapes...that's already a bad start. As much of a flirt Gambit is, the Lili Penrose plot was very out-of-character...heavily implied that he was cheating, and it's hard to root for a character that acts that way. Then he did a zombie arc because you know everyone was writing zombies at the time...and just followed that trend. That's all I remember from it, because it was a forgettable series. I even did the unthinkable and dropped it after 8 issues, I always support Gambit books, but it was just that bad.

Bur I think it is a problem with a lot of writers, really.


Endings are the toughest part of writing. Very hard to pull off...


Character-balance aside, when I critique a book, it's always story first. The fault in R&G's ending was that it probably needed just 4 issues instead of 5, and Dr Brand should've been the main antagonist, in fact maybe not have Lavish at all and give her abilities to Dr Brand because she had more panel-time and was a more interesting character than Lavish herself...instead of just being a golem.


With MMX, it was a big story, action-packed, character-driven, Xandra and Cerise were very good supporting characters, Deadpool was a good guest star as was the Technet and Imperial Guard, Deathbird is (arguably) in the top 10 most prominent X-Men villains, she was a good choice. I loved the scope of it, however the ending felt like an ending to a 2nd act. It probably needed another 2 issues to give it a better ending rather than finishing it off with just an illusion. It needed a better final showdown with Deathbird and co.


That said, I certainly had my money's worth in both arcs. A lot of fun.

I'm looking forward to the next issue as it seems to be the gateway for the next arc. It looks to be centered around their holiday/engagement party and KT excells in that "slice of life" style of story and I can't wait to read more interactions between the two and the other X-Men.

Nothing yet, but the next arc is supposed to deal with the Guilds. The next issue is probably going to seed a few things for that. I assume anyway. It'll revolve around their holiday/engagement party, but I suspect it's more of a vehicle to explore reactions to their wedding now that the dust has cleared.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Sparta on November 26, 2018, 02:56:46 PM
Hard to say how much panel-time the Guilds will get, though there is strong evidence that Belladonna will antagonise Gambit. Jean-Luc should be in this too, it is a family moment. However I expect the X-Men to play a larger part, simply because they are a bigger drawcard (and that's why they're on the cover). On a personal note, I'm not too fussed about the Guilds simply because I've never ever read a good story based on the them, but that's just me. Though I do like the idea of Belladonna trolling...

I already posted this in the MMX 5 thread but I'm going to post it here too because I think it applies to the forums in general:

I've been busy with life so I haven't been able to post in forums in a while and therefore haven't posted in here in a  long minute. But I love Gambit (he's my favorite Marvel character) and I love this place (the Guild). Everyone should be able to post whatever opinion they have here. If you wanna be positive and post how much you love a comic (Mr & Mrs X or whatever other comic Gambit is in), go for it. If you wanna be negative and post how much you hate a comic go for it. There are things I really like about Mr & Mrs. X and things I despise about the comic. I like reading whatever opinions other Gambit-fans have on the book and I'm enough of an adult to not get offended by any of it. I would hope that others are mature enough and aware that forums will always both sides of the spectrum (competing opinions) when it comes to forums, and hopefully don't get offended by forum posts.

So please Neko, and others, don't feel the need to censor this board and please don't push an agenda to cater to whatever side of the spectrum (positive fans or negative fans). I have always felt more comfortable in this forum than in any other forum and I love that we don't have to deal with the strict draconian mods of CBR (I still like CBR, but they're mods go overboard sometimes). So please everybody else that sees this, feel free to post whatever it is you wanna post. As long as you're not harassing others or clearly trolling, there should be no issues.

I'm not going to repeat completely my post from the other thread but ...
I understand there is a book "high" on release day. The feel good mood you get from enjoying the book you bought. And that it can be a downer to go to a place you like and your euphoria is blown.
Its fatiguing to battle all the time especially when you are in a great mood. My compromise is to wait to dissect a book until the general "enjoyment high" of said book has dissipated a little bit.

I think that is fair and isn't censorship, plus those who are just in a great mood via book gets to enjoy it longer. All I asking is wait to discuss in detail and post all the positives with images and all that right away.
Fair?

It's a rerelease, then. I have that exact figure in the picture you posted. I also have a second one that has a variant head with longer hair and purple for the torso instead of pink.

It's a great figure with the only drawback being it's limited poseability/articulation. It looks fantastic on the shelf. I think you will enjoy it. And if not, there will be more options available in a few months after the Marvel Legends version and the Revoltech import are released.

Thanks, man! I made Portfolio and tried to break into comics but so far everyone ignores me:) Will try to do a new one that will be better.


If you have some cool idea for fanfiction I will be glad to help.

On CBR there was a post- we're getting a Gambit centric issue and then a Rogue one. All I can say, its been one long Rogue issue all along. There is no need for a Rogue centric issue from the ongoing, since all we're reading about is her. IMO.

i honestly dont understand were alot of the guildies are pulling this Rogue centric stuff from, you are focusing way to much on Rogue and not enough on the awesome s*** Remy does, the books been 50/50 if anything all the Rogue changes and plot points has just made her a worse character i feel sorry for her fans,

Guildies? You mean me and possibly Remydat. LOL.  Joking aside, Gambit doing stuff with no development is most likely the issue. Rogue is getting content, Gambit is not. Good or bad, there is nothing new for him. His character hasn't changed other than his marital status.  Keep in mind that is just me. :)

ok but look at the development Rogue has gotten, i for one am glad he hasnt gotten that treatment, while nothing life altering apart from his marriage has happened he is still written smart and shown to be a competent fighter there is alot of positive to focus on with the book, which like the marriage wont last long , UXM has already gotten bad imo really glad he wasn't involved in that. i get you want more as we all do but for now this is it sadly , im not a fan of KT but its a good Gambit

You got a point. Okay. I acquiesce ... At least he looks good in a fight with a few exceptions. The spear in the chest while facing an opponent would be one.

Good job on the debate.  :) Edit: You got me to see another side. Thanks.

Oh how the mighty have fallen that we are suppose to be excited that Gambit looked good against no name Shi'ar and characters that appear in the books once every decade or so. 

Sorry not impressed.  At least with the Asmus solo which didn't have Gambit taking down top notch fighters, we got loads of development and creative use of his powers to compensate. 

What we have here is fights against Z list characters, zero development, zero creative use of powers, and getting defeated by D list characters that look him in the eye, taunt him and then spear his ass.  But that is supposed to be ok because he dodged nameless Shi'ar solider #1.  Whoop de f**king doo!

every comic book character fights no name soldiers its not exclusive to Gambit, Rogue fought the same people,  your arguement with Deathbird is petty, she has taken down the X-Men before all while they were looking at her too btw , she is a SUPERHUMAN Alien she has gone toe to toe with Gladiator and other X-Men and defeated them too,she didnt exactly defeat him either he got straight back up, Gambit scared her off with just words earlier in the Arc and no it wasnt a trick by Deathbird pretending to retreat she actually feared what he would do, also in the same issue he used his powers in a creative way too, Gambit is being used in creative ways in this book.

I still say Gambit's best feat was taking out the Starjammers (well Skrull star jammers) single handed, before taking out Gladiator. He should be able to solo Deathbird imho.

i agree , yeah he got speared while looking at her but he was getting back up, it didn't put him out, we don't know how the fight would have gone because Xandra and Rogue went poof and disappeared

also sorry but your saying his best feat is something he did back in UXM277 around 17 years ago nothing in between then and now has topped that moment for you?

Yeah and no one celebrates when other characters beat up no names like Gambit fans do.  Yeah I remember Gambit going toe to toe with Gladiator as well and he came out ahead.  The point is he looked lame going up against the only character of significance he fought.

Yeah it probably is his best feat still because that is how poorly he is treated by writers.  He is comic relief and used to make other characters look cool kicking his ass.


The only things I can think of that come close is his one punching that Vampire chick in the Storm and Gambit one shot, the Daken fight (although he lost because X-23 distracted him), and maybe his charging the Hellcarrier most recently.


Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Nekobaghira on December 28, 2018, 12:50:53 PM
He used to have some cool feats. Like charging the train to power up Bishop before taking on Sinister.
The Daken fight could have been better but overall, if not for X23 - but it was her book.
Partnering up with Wolverine in Madripoor.

We're not getting any of those things now.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: Dantay on December 28, 2018, 03:35:02 PM
 Ok so cool feats, what other X-Men have had cool moments really? Against A listers? Or even c listers, as for Gambit here are a few moments, not cool or funny but fight wise since UXM277 excluding solo’s guest appearances and one shots just focusing on X-Men comics
UXM 312 -  rides a motor cycle into the Phalanx saving Storm, then charges a card and blows it up as it devours the bike destroying it
UXM 313 – kicks all kinds of Phalanx ass and charges a ships Anchor
UXM 327 – messes up a faking Sabertooth at the mansion tormenting him
UXM  361- RETURNS  takes out Juggernaut granted he is crazy and powers are all over the place its still a cool moment
UXM 370 – takes out the Skrull Avengers and anyone else that got in his way trying to save Marrow, also he took them out and distracted the others so he could steal their quinjet
UXM 382 – Mentally defeats Dirge
XM 51+52 is the train charge which Bishop Absorbs but it’s not a fight
XM163 – Blind and with the help of Mindy for aiming he fights off Sabertooth
XXM 42 - powerless he takes out a Bogan possessed Bishop
XXM 43 – again powerless he was able to trick Bogan a powerful telepath into believing Remy was under his control, he also took out Bogans team 



thats it really for fights, im not counting cool moments like the multiple times he took charge of the X-Men or his role from XM 200 through Messiah complex or the times he was pure badass

 
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: remydat on December 28, 2018, 05:01:36 PM
XXM Gambit where he took down Bishop and tricked Bogan is probably right up there as well as far as cool feats.

Those who like Law & Order, there actually is an episode where there is a scene with a guy who is a collector of Xmen Comics. They're older, so probably no Gambit but the camera doesn't pan the apartment.
Anyway, its S12E8 "The Fire This Time" .... That is Season 12 Episode 8 (Original Law and Order.)

Figured it out, she mistakingly believes the show continuity and the books are the same thing. When she describes his past she refers to Bella as his ex fiancee not wife and says he ran away instead of being banished for accidentally murdering his brother in law. Funny, she mixes in comic book lore in with XTAS. It's very confusing.

Loved that preview a lot!


"We couldn’t set a story in and around New Orleans without including everyone’s favorite scoundrel, Gambit, who is played brilliantly by Bill Heck. We had a lot of fun pairing the two up as frenemies. The banter between them—and the trouble they get into—on riverboat casinos and in underground gambling parlors is a treat for the ears.

The buzz cut looks good on him too, if that is him. I do think its GAmbit, based on power signature from when he first appeared and looks like a bo-staff that can elongate.

I was hoping this was gonna be an Old Man version of Gambit but apparently it's not.

I might have to check out Return of Wolverine #5, Gambit appearing as somebody that Logan has fought has peaked my interest.

dont buy it its basically wallpaper also funny part Logan says he's unlocked all the fights he's had around 10 thousand and asks gusess how many he's won, lol we know he didnt beat that version of Gambit so 9999

Post by: Dantay on February 21, 2019, 02:09:20 PM
the art in Marvel has gone downhill imo, the shading and colouring especially , Like Sal's on Uncanny is the worse ive ever seen of his work and im a big fan of his, Mr & Mrs X isnt too bad except alot of the ladies faces are similar, DC has much better artists and they are signed to exclusive deals 
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: bark_no_byte on February 21, 2019, 03:07:51 PM
Yeah, no kidding. I loved his stuff X-Treme, but everything since has been downhill.


Agreed about MMX. I like it for the most part but it can look off every once in a while. I miss Perez. His work on R&G was great


Edit: X-Men Gold had something special with Syaf's art. It's too bad he turned out to be an a-hole because it would have been cool to see what else he could have done for the X-Books

AiPT!: Alright, now for some character questions. Rogue and Gambit… meerah (@roguesugah (https://twitter.com/roguesugah)) asked if these newlyweds would be on any team books coming up.

Jordan: So, again… you see how this would be considered a spoiler, right? If I had a book planned for later this year that had them as members that has not been announced or solicited yet, then me telling you the true fact that they are members of it is a spoiler. If I revealed that, I would just have to hope the writer of that book would not be mad at me for it, especially if it’s a team they’ve never been a part of before.

(https://i0.wp.com/www.adventuresinpoortaste.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/smooch.png?resize=768%2C222)

well that's limited kinda, X-Force, Thunderbolts, New Warriors, eXcaliber, FF, but if they were to join one i'd put money on West Coast Avengers because KT writes that garbage and technically even though Rogue was on the Avengers she wasn't on the West Coast team :)

Either she is great or she is awful. LOL I suppose bias plays in with the characters.

I don't think it's that black or white. Remender's X-Force was legendary but his follow up with Avengers was a big mess. Like anything, youll do some things better than youll do other things. I like MMX, I gave Wca a try and bailed on #2. I skimmed Cap Marvel and put it back on the rack.

nothing really comes to mind, other than symbols that they drew on Gambits chest while he was being excommunicated in Gambit issue 1 but nothing distinguishable also check out Gambit issue 13 page 5 i think, Gambits Grandfather has chest drawings and there are banners all around with symbols on them, Issue 21 also and there was a theory years ago and i don't know if it came from a writer interview or fan fiction but Gambits magenta lines on the legs off his costume are a marking of his skills as a thief,

Sure, he loves Gambit so much that didn’t include him in any of his scripts. I don’t doubt he likes the idea of Tatum as Gambit though solely because of the financial potential it could’ve had when it was first announced. Tatum’s been so out of the picture lately that I doubt he’s still a box office success. Now we'll never know.

Studio is always the one to pull Gambit, Donner has been trying to get him in the movies since the first one, then theres the fact that the X-Men films are total s***e , at the time X2 was awesome, and First class and DoFP were good but taking off the rose tinted glasses they are not good films at all, the truly great ones are the ones the studio had less of a hands on with, Deadpool and Logan, they were awesome Deadpool 2 was great too just not as good as the first one imo

I think CT just tired of this and has nothing to say. I am sure that he will sign with Disney to play Gambit if Feige would like this idea.


I think that CT was born to play Gambit too and will be really sad if he won't have a chance to do it.

Gambit/Hawkeye is my favourite X&A team-up. Fence was okay(ish), but I preferred Courier. I thought X-23 should've made this list...I would've put her in instead of Spider-Man.

Other team-ups I liked (not on the list) were Polaris or Quicksilver in X-Factor. I like the idea of Black Cat, and I always thought Nightcrawler would work well. Gambit and Psylocke had some cool scenes together in Nicieza's X-Men (also Beast in the same run). Black Widow would be awesome, Star-Lord...

Hey, guys. Took a mini-hiatus from the site but wanted to share a couple really cool experiences I had at Planet Comicon this last weekend.


I was down at Planet Comicon this weekend and got my Gambit #1 signed by Nicieza and he gushed about how much he loved book and Skroce's art. It was really cool. He also said he was working on a Gambit novel back in the day and if I liked that series, I would've really liked the novel. It was supposed to be ~500 pages and he got around 275 done before Marvel pulled the plug on it and a few other books some people were writing.[/size]
Also, I got my 266 signed by Claremont and he talked to me about his original plans for Gambit and Sinister. I knew a lot of it already, but I was just thrilled to have a conversation with Claremont about my favorite Comic Character.

The Gambit part starts around 2:43. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAvp-STLxeM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAvp-STLxeM) Just found this interesting and wanted to share.

White`s answer.


AiPT!: OK, Jordan, whatever you say here is sure to be divisive, so tread carefully. But Marvel Mythos Podcast‏ (@MarvelMythosPod) wanted to know… who is canonically sexier: Gambit or Cyclops?


Jordan: Gambit. Come on. Look–that is not an insult to Cyclops. He’s a good looking man, and as we have covered in depth, he has no problem attracting women. But Gambit is Gambit. Sexy is his super power. Besides, Cyclops is a long-term relationship guy, a serial monogamist. Gambit is a one-night-stand. He’s all sex, no commitment. Sorry, Rogue, you know it’s true. Keep your eye on that one.

I doubt JDW’s being 100% serious here. But tbh, I have no problem seeing Gambit as someone who just likes having sex. Lots of people don’t need an emotional connection to enjoy a good shagging, and lots of people have high sex drives.


That said, he ain’t going to cheat on Rogue now they’re married and can boink whenever they want.

Well, I've been listening to Wolverine: The Lost Trail, because it has Gambit in it. They have erred on the side of smarmy with his character. Though since Wolverine is portrayed as murderously unhinged, it shouldn't have surprised me that they would magnify negative character traits for everyone.
It could be a long con with Remy making it seem that there is a huge wedge between he and Logan, in case they are under surveillance and taking everyone by surprise when he shows up to help in the finale but >.>

Asmus had the right voice for Gambit, very much in tune with Nicieza, level-headed, charming, but not over-the-top and not a parody. My only criticism is that I felt some of his stories lacked a bit of drive, I remember he led in with a very generic villain (Cich?) I forgot his name, I did not like him, though Tombstone was very good when he popped up. Some really good parts, some no so great, the fairy story was awful, but I loved the issue where Joelle walked into a supervillain's gathering to look for Tombstone, my favourite issue.

 AiPT!: Robert Secundus (@RobertSecundus (https://twitter.com/RobertSecundus)) said that it seems like not just the X-Line, not just comics, but pop culture generally is finally willing to tell stories again about couples beyond the exhausting (and exhausted) will they/won’t they or get together/break up cycles. Rogue and Gambit getting married is just one example. What do you think motivated this shift?

 

 
Jordan: Honestly, I think it all depends on how it’s done. I think the reason everyone has been so shy to answer those “will they/won’t they”s with a hearty “they will” is because doing that has ruined a lot of stories, and it’s a hard bell to un-ring. Personally, I think hooking up Mulder and Scully is where The X-Files went from being a show I loved to being one I was constantly disappointed by, and when they brought the series back, their relationship hung over everything in a way that really turned me off to it. That being said…in X-Men, I think there is a lot lower stakes on each individual relationship, though, because none of them are THE relationship the whole thing hangs on. Rogue and Gambit had a lot of heat back in the day, but then for many years they were not a thing. Now, they are back together and married, and I think we have that leeway to try that with them because they are not the lynchpin of the line, we can get a little experimental.

Maybe the 1st picture would look better in a lighter blue color and I don't like the 3rd picture either, we don't need Gambit looking like a hipster. As for the 4th picture, the green and black Ninja Gambit... I guess that could work if he was doing a stealth mission. It's almost like what if Gambit was created in Image Comics in the early or mid 90s.

That's Joe Mad's art from a while back on instagram, so it must've led to this. Beautiful cover, maybe because it reminds me of the late 90's and the snow could be an Antarctica reference.

Oh and for anyone interested in X-Men Grand Design. Gambit will likely be in the final chapter which will be released in June 19...(not far off)

Hard to say with Gambit's appearance in Grand Design, years of stories are crammed into a single comic. So maybe just a few panels. But yeah, he'll be there at the very least.


As for Hickman, Gambit not in the big Mark Brooks promo art (which has literally 30-40 characters), is pretty much a dead giveaway that he'll play no role in the event, maybe a satellite book by a different writer is what JDW is hinting at. I'm sure Hickman will write the series well, but from what I hear, it's focused on Professor X, Magneto, and there's 3 Wolverines and I'm sure Cyclops will play a big part as well...so pretty much the same thing for the last 20 years. But this re-launch is for realz! Like I said, Hickman will probably do a fine job and good luck to him, but I'll wait and see before I judge it properly...and not to listen to the hype and the sycophants that are prematurely hopping on the bandwagon.

The obscured male character next to Rogue looks like Gambit, so this is probably it. A team that they've never been on before, and he hash tagged #xmen on Instagram. So maybe a satellite X-Book...probably X-Force? It wouldn't be X-Factor because Gambit's been there already. If it were not Uncanny X-Men or Adjectiveless, then I'd hope for X-Force, nothing else...because I see satellite books as a demotion, but X-Force does have cachet. Or maybe something completely new...

Looks like Diamond Select Toys is doing a Fox X-Men Animated bust line. Cyclops is up first, though some have commented that it looks weird. Here's the description and link below it...

A Diamond Select Toys release! Scott Summers kicks of a new line of busts based on the classic X-Men animated series! Depicting Cyclops with a gleam in his visor and his fists at the ready, this approximately 6" resin bust is limited to only 3,000 pieces and comes packaged with a certificate of authenticity in a full-color box.

Good post. This was a very well recieved title amongst comic book/X-Men/Gambit and Rogue fans. The comic book store guy I pick up my comic books from would always tell me about how everyone he knew that was reading this absolutely loved it. Even though I was very skeptical at the begining, I really enjoyed all the Gambit and Rogue story we've gotten for the last while and am sad to see it stop. I just hope they continue on and do justice to the growth they've gone through.


I have a theory. We all know the "relaunch" the X-Men are about to go through. Well I"ve been wondering what they're going to do with these two once the "relaunch" takes place. After issue 12 of MMX, I think the last year and a half Gambit and Rogue were going through their own seperate relaunch. I think they were purposely removed from the final mainline X-Men stories and off to the side to sort of "fix" them for when they relaunch the X-universe in the comics. Or at least that's what they wound up doing.


I think when Gambit and Rogue show up in the newly revamped X-universe in the comics, I think it will be them coming directly right out of issue 12 of MMX. I mean, they just literally spent a year and a half working through and fixing(trying to) all the deep rooted issues between G&R and also hove grown the two characters individually (especially Rogue) in a positive way. They managed to, the best I think they could, wade through the muddied waters of their long complicated relationship and come out on the other side to a good place where people actually like them as a couple again. People aren't rolling their eyes anymore. People find them to be a sweet, romantic, and sexy pairing again. And it's really intersting because it's not rehash. They have clearly evolved their relationship. I even work with someone who's never really cared about Gambit and Rogue but read most of MMX and likes them way more now. And Gambit is much higher on his radar of X-characters he likes.


So anyway, this to me all seems like Gambit and Rogue have had their own seperate relaunch and that's the plan. I think they did a good job and it's nice to see them get their own special attention moving in to this new era. Actually, it gives me hope that they'll get them in the movies when ever they start making them. I just hope going forward they pay attention to these two and it doesn't turn into poison again.

Good.  Take with grain of salt and some tequila. :) I don't want her writing Gambit. We've seen people put down Liu, Layman and whomever else. The MMX writer was the worst writer of Gambit for me, because she didn't write him. All she cared about was Rogue. Believe or don't, either way, if she got the opportunity, it would be about the one character I have no vested interest in. Again, tequila and salt. :)

Have to get one as well. Not cheap, but, hey, doesn't look like I will be buying any Marvel comics in the next few months, so I'll just save there. Just saw the "framed" covers for the 80 Years anniversary. Loads of characters surrounding the cover, including Rogue, but no Gambit (and no need for me to buy either).

Gambit & Rogue will bot be on the New Excalibur team with Apocalypse which is kinda cool but would have been better if Gambit was on the Marauders

"After the 12 weeks of HoX and PoX, we're gonna launch a whole new X-Men line," White added.
The panelists then revealed the new X-Men titles:
Marauders, by Gerry Duggan and Matteo Lolli and featuring Pyro, Iceman, Storm, Bishop, Emma Frost and Kitty Pryde; Excalibur, by Tini Howard and Marcus To and featuring Rictor, Jubilee, Gambit, Rogue, Psylocke (aka the new Captain Britain) and Apocalypse;

Yeah a lot of this looks... I don't know. I'll give it a shot but I think they are shooting themselves in the foot. Most of this gets 12 issues.


Tini Howard... Barely heard of her. I think she had a Age of X-Man book. I don't see how she gets a X-Men title with her experience level. No idea what to expect. They did say Gambit would be on a team he'd never been on before. And is Gambit really going to be walking around with a stick the whole time?

Good article.
I don't trust her too. It sounds a lot like X-Men Red for me aka Jean and her amazing friends. I don't want secret solos as team books anymore.


It seems main idea of Magic was pitched by Hickman so I hope this book will have at least some fresh feeling as HOX had.
Of course, Asmus would be the best for it.

I hate to be so unbearably cynical and negative, but in those panels is it just me, or does it look like Rogue is doing all the talking with Apocalypse and Gambit is just sort of standing there?  Obviously we can't tell without dialogue but you know, I've been burned a lot lately. I just hope there's a conversation before too long about how the last time Gambit and Apocalypse were together there was the whole Death thing.

Nah, I understand where you are coming from. The more thought I've given to this, the more hesitant I feel. There is just a huge power gap between Betsy, who may or may not be a dual Omega level mutant, Rogue, who can take all the stuff, Apoc... and then you have the rest of the team. Its possible that power balances will be different in Otherworld but its not like we have been given stunning displays of skill all that often. Just seems that there is a large chance that powers will equal plot advancement.

I think I read it was 2 feet high. While that is amazing, between the sheer size of it, and the prices I've seen for some of their other statues, I would have to guess $1,000+...way out of my ballpark, but if you are going to dream of winning the lottery, you gotta have something to spend it on!

IDK, HoX is good but it didn’t blow my mind. Most fans are treating it as the best thing that has ever happened to the X-Men and that’s an overstatement. Also regarding the plagiarism accusations, I can totally see where they’re coming from. I mean, I immediately thought of Harry August when I read HoX 2.

Gambit was mentioned on the X-Men Monday. Nothing new, though.

https://www.adventuresinpoortaste.com/2019/08/12/giant-sized-x-men-monday-23-terrificon-2019/

AiPT!: Did you have a favorite costume redesign from that run?
Grummett: I kind of liked the outfit I gave Gambit. I thought I scrubbed him up really good. It didn’t really stick, but it was fun.


AiPT!: Is there a particular character redesign that was your favorite?
Mann: I really liked Rogue, Dazzler… I mean, they’re all ripoffs of my favorite characters. I didn’t hide it, Gambit’s Snake Eyes. They’re all from something I liked as a kid.


King: Who do you want to draw on the X-Men? You just want to draw Gambit’s butt again.
Mann: No, it’d be the original–the Blue Team, Gold Team.

The art looks fine, I just dont trust this new writer. Skimmed some of her other work... not sure what warrants giving people X-Men titles these days. In the past, you needed to have some sort of resume worth considering. Tini Howard has existed for a little while doing small jobs here or there. Due to subject matter, I think Asmus or KT would have been ideal.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch

Asmus would have been really good...Thompson too, but she’s on Deadpool now, which is probably considered a ‘promotion’ at marvel.

Post by: Nekobaghira on October 04, 2019, 02:46:30 PM
I feel bad for Deadpool fans. I can't agree on Thompson writing Gambit, ever. She was horrible. IMO.
Is it the female version of Deadpool?
She doesn't write men well at all. IMO.
We need an Asmus or some one who will write Gambit as something more than an attachment. That is all he is now and all he will be until stuff changes.
sorry for the salt, but I absolutely disliked the mini and mmx.

I know they're releasing a bunch of F4 pops in January. Around 10 or so, it's a big push. And I'd probably expect the same for X-Men. At the moment their releasing the O5 pops.
The demand is there, many fans are asking for a Gambit pop around the Pop sites and on Facebook etc, and have been doing so for years...so I don't know what's keeping them, maybe now that Marvel have the film rights back, we'll see more X-Men pops like what's happening with F4? Even Reed and Sue are finally getting their first pops next year.

While it's not confirmed, Pop O'Clock later tweeted the product number details 10 days after the initial tweet, which is interesting...

It's an individual pop. There's also an individual Rogue one that they mentioned a few days later and the tweet was very similar to the Gambit one with product numbers etc. But they are individual (the traditional set up) Hopefully we'll get something official from Funko soon.

Ah, I see what you mean. Well, I own a two-in-one box with Blue Beetle & Booster Gold, and they share the same product number. These Gambit and Rogue ones have separate numbers.  My guess is that they'll probably release someone like Nightcrawler along with Gambit and Rogue...in a pack of six new releases and their pictures will be on the back of the box.
While it's still technically not official yet, but those product details help confirm it. Unless someone will go through such great lengths to fabricate product details just to troll. I just can't see that happening.

Bring on Deathcats or Demoncats either would work or both as minions. LOL

I can see it, Deathbit sends out the minions and they poison with their claw thus killing whomever Deathbit deemed unfit. And yes, I shouldn't write for Marvel either. I actually have something more sarcastic to add but won't.  ;)

I didn`t like Excalibur 1.


If Gambit says something then he must show it. Otherwise he looks stupid.


Rogue was just one sided and robotic for me. She never felt alive in it.


It may change in next issues but I sincerely doubt. Right now I am dissapointed that I even bought it.


Maybe it is just me and others will like it. Premise of book is interesting. Story is fine. Just too many supporting Breddrock charactes in it that I don`t know or even care about.


Art and colors are the best part of it.

The script was hard to follow in several places. Jubilee's usage felt forced and unnecessary. Gambit was flat. Apocalypse wasn't impressive at all. Rogue was almost unrecognizable. I think me and remydat could rework this story into something more cohesive and exciting. As is, it's a big ball of meh, for me. I'll give it another book before I stop talking about it but keep buying it in secret because I'm such a Gambit nerd.

It felt off as do all the books coming out of HoX & PoX , Rogues Powers have been retconed again she doesnt have full controll over them like she did at the end of Mr& Mrs X, Gambit is being writtin they way Milligan wrote him, He's got balls but is an idiot, this is A Betsy & Poccy book disguised as a team book, apart from those two any of the other character could be replaced

You won't like this book. And if my theories are correct of what's foreshadowed, you'll hate it even more.


I like Betsy, so the story is fine for me. But the Gambit stuff? Might anger a few here...

Thanks! I appreciate the heads up. Its not just the price of the book, and while gas isn't horrendous, its a long drive to the shop too.

Also, I read the thread at the other place, is Rogue complaining about her powers again? Yikes, is that true? What does it take to put that issue with her on the history self and move forward.

I wasn't really a fan of this. The story is fine and all but it really comes off as a Betsy book with an emphasis on Apocalypse. Right off the bat when Betsy is doing the typical female angsty thing about how she is not like other girls I cringed already.


Gambit really came off impotent in this opening. I have a bad feeling already of how Gambit is going to be written going forward in this title. I hate when he's portrayed as a dummy. Rogue was super lame. Jubilee was pointless and lame. Apoc was ok I guess but it's still weird. This #1 really came off as a solo story with some side characters. Not like a team book or set-up. I'll be really annoyed if Gambit isn't a major player in this book. Him and Rogue are definitely all star players on this team and have been on their own successfully for a year and a half. I don't know we'll see.


And yeah, a baby seems like it could be in the cards at some point. But I really don't want it if they're being written poorly.

I wasn't expecting continuity to be followed with these two, even though the Rogue & Gambit series is only a 1 to 5 issue storyline that's only a year old and Mr. and Mrs. X is only a 12 issue storyline that ended 3 or 4 months ago... but that's what happens when you have hacks who haven't given a rats ass about continuity in decades.

For me, I didn't mind the STORY, and I quite like Psylocke/Betsy almost as much as Gambit, and I do buy books for Betsy, so for me there is an investment there. For you, because I know you don't like Rogue, she'll be out of commission for the next 3-4 issues and the preview panels have him in action with Betsy and Jubilee, maybe there will be something there for you. But I DO think Rogue is pregnant, which leads me to believe that Gambit and Rogue's purpose is to share the first Krakoan-born child, maybe I'm wrong, but it's looking that way.

There's an intriguing theory of Apocalypse's horsemen being reborn through Gambit, Rogue, Jubilee and Rictor. In HoX/PoX there was a great divide between Krakoa and Arrako and it involved Apocalypse and his Horsemen (it was a great story that I'd like to see more of). If Howard tackles this, then maybe there's something for Gambit's development.

EDIT: Just to add, while I liked the story, I agree with everyone here that Gambit was NOT well written, I also got the Milligan vibes as someone else here pointed out. But it's just the first issue, hopefully things will improve.

That’s still speculation at this point. And I didn’t get a Milligan vibe. It didn’t have the cynicism and mean spirited satire of Milligan. I also think I read the most of the dialogue as more lighted hearted than most, so i didn’t hate it. It’s not a great start, mind you and it could get worse, so I won’t really ‘disagree’ with anyone yet.

On the plus side, I liked the artwork, but, at least from issue 1, this appears to be a Betsy / Apocalypse book, as many have already stated. Gambit's role so far has been not trusting Apocalypse (shocker), and head-over-heels for Rogue. He would have been a better Marauder, and maybe down the road that is something being considered, but, for now, he's clearly not top focus, but above Rictor (who hasn't shown up yet) and Jubilee, who really had no purpose. Time will tell, but at least he's part of something, unlike House of X.

The setup for time being broken is that time is in some way a living thing. That time-travel abuses have broken it, wounded it. Before, minor alterations would self-correct and major alterations would branch the timeline. Now, things were actually being rewritten. It's why we keep seeing mutations coming and going without explanation for characters like Beast or Anole. Things that were suppose to happen keep trying to happen in different ways, Archangel's repeating storylines. Kitty's three marriage proposals in a short period of time, each getting closer to a wedding but ultimately not happening. Doop, Star-Lord, Colossus... What wedding of Kitty Pryde's got erased that time is trying to correct for? I could make a list of all this stuff(actually, I am working on it).

Moira further altering time by rewriting it every time she dies isn't going to heal time, it's just going to break things even more, probably past some sort of tipping point...

Can't say I’m disappointed with Excalibur. As expected it was a Betsy and Apocalypse fest. Although the story as a whole was fine, the characters’ voices were off, unnatural and robotic. Betsy’s conversation with her brother was apathetic and unappealing.

The state of Rogue’s powers is weird. It seems she can control her distance absorption but not skin to skin contact (?). It makes no sense. Her using her powers recklessly and falling into a coma again was dumb. It’ll make for Gambit crying over her body again ¬¬

The way Gambit threatened Apocalypse but didn’t follow through made him look lame and pathetic. Even his punch could’ve been handled differently if Gambit had thrown explosives at Apocalypse and the latter had used his arm to deflect them and protect his face or something like that would’ve been better than just holding Gambit’s punch so easily and Gambit wouldn’t’ve come off so unimposing.

Very weak start for Gambit. The only positive point was the gorgeous art.

Urmm, perhaps. House of X and Powers of X is a retcon of the past. All of Moira's lives have no impact on the next, which is why she's able to make different choices based on past experiences. The current timeline is the 616 main timeline. All the changes we're seeing in Krakoa are happening in real time, so the only change is the fact that Moira enacted a scheme she set up in the past. Everything we've known to happen to the X-Men since the 60s happened. However, the means and reason for several actions were retconned.


I brought up the greater Marvel Universe, by which instill believe is screwed up is because of what happened during Age of Ultron, the Apocalypse Twins and Secret Wars. The Avengers literally broke time and then space/time was shattered and glued back together, shattered and then reformed.


That's not what happened in HoX/PoX Moira didn't pull a Legion and go back in time and create a new 616. Her stories were all retconned leads up to the 616. Basically everything she did predated the 616 universe... Hope that makes sense.

I understand that's what they WANT you to think. That's part of the trick... A writer is like a magician, their best trick is always misdirection. And the biggest change to time is one most fans are not even aware of. I had to go over everything with a fine tooth comb myself to locate it. I knew with all the changes going back several years it HAD to be on-panel somewhere, they couldn't just retcon it in later and expect people to accept it.

There is a missing life for Moira, Life Zero. The original unaltered main-616 timeline. The one where she was human and died because of Mystique. Where Xavier nearly died himself trying to follow her spirit into the afterlife. Where she appeared as a spirit later herself. That timeline was rewritten by a massive change to time into her Life One, where Moria was now a mutant, which began her multi-life journey.

Interesting theory ... But that's not how time works. I too didn't believe this was the real 616 but editors have assured me via Twitter that it is. Due to the retcon, it means that Moira has always been a mutant. Its not something that was changed. There is no "zero" life however there is the possibility of Moira having at least one more life to burn. The 616 is her 10th life. Destiny told her she has 10 or 11. I'd bet anything that 11 was dropped as a means to build suspense. Moira at some point will have to burn her last life. Next year, two, five years from now Marvel has the means to hit the reset button. I'd look at that life rather than hold my breath for a zero time line.

Fair enough and I would have thought the same, but this is the second time in two issues she's brought up keeping Shogo safe from Apocalypse. Just weird she's lumping Gambit in as a joke.

WTH is wrong with women writers and comic books. How is it they don't understand certain characters.


I read plenty of books written by women and they write men so much better than the last one and current writer in charge of Gambit.

Thank you for reminding me that I don't need to buy this book and while its disappointing to not support Gambit, until some other writer comes along, I'll pass.

It would seem she started the trend. But at least she had him do some good things. Jumping off a building and not hurting himself, his fight against Daken. Yes, KT had him jumping and throwing cards. The difference is story line. Liu did give Gambit story, all KT did was make him love interest and nothing more. There really was no story for Gambit. There isn't anything added to his lore beyond getting married.


Its a shame, he's become too much of boyfriend/husband material to not warrant some story line. Action sequences is not story not matter how well drawn.
I'm actually sort of amused. Rogue is asleep again for a story. LOL

To be honest, X-Men #2, Marauders #2 and Excalibur #2 have all been pretty "meh" ...actually I only liked the 1st half of HoX/PoX and got tired of it...


X-Men: The Summers are really boring (Cyclops has regressed since he's come back)
Marauders: It's the "Kate" show, a bit like X-Men Gold, but with more jokes.
Excalibur: Concept is okay, but the characters are dull, and Gambit, Jubilee and Rogue generally have a lot of charisma, I don't see it here.
New Mutants: This is probably the best book so far...but I don't love it. 
X-Force: Gritty, but I don't love it.
Fallen Angels: It's another dull book.


None of the these are terrible, but FAR from great.They range between 5 to 7 out of 10. Way over-hyped, and many are easily pleased with this re-vamp because the Gold/Blue era before this was God-awful...so it doesn't take much to appease the audience.

Oh yeah Jubilee was slightly less badly written than Gambit in this issue. Gambit just needs to get his composure back, maybe the mission with Betsy and Jubes will keep him focused on something else, I hear he interacts with Rictor in the coming issues, but it's not just the fretting over Rogue, it's the anger, it's like how Milligan wrote him...and Alan Davis in parts way back.

But for me most of the major X-Men characters in this new Hickman era seem off, it's not just Gambit and Jubilee, it's Cyclops being a "yes" man, Jean regressing back to "Suzy Homemaker" status of the 1960's, Storm taking orders from Kitty Pryde (again), ...and Professor X is "dead" again, Kid-Cable is the worst character going around, Rachel is acting like a 13-year old, there's nothing at stake because they'll get resurrected, all the baddies are allies so it's just Sentinels that are the threat.

The idea's are there, they main problem is that the story moves far too quickly. I felt like I was reading a 4-issue story arc in 20 pages. It just doesn't breathe. We're getting "Evil Sirens", Druids, "Rogue Lighthouse", Dream Sequences, "Shogo the Dragon" all crammed into one issue. That pace sometimes CAN work, as long as the characters are compelling and help drive it.

That's fair but I'm enjoying the heck out of other books that don't have Gambit in it. If he wasn't, I would have given this book a shot still. The only thing that kept me in this far is his inclusion. I would have dropped this book after issue 1. To be fair, I'm not feeling Marauders too much either, haven't read 2 yet, but 1 was all about Kitty, and frankly I'm over that angle in X-Men. However, I want to see where Bishop's investigation goes.

The characters are flat, the story is a mess. To me, it reads like someone took different drafts of the story, cut them apart and then joined them together without even an edit.

Excalibur is plain bad. The plot is messy, convoluted, and incompetent. Gambit isn't the only one who's out of character (this time around he came off as petty  and hurtful), all of the other characters are too. The art is good but some of the transitions between panels/pages are badly executed. What a waste of time.

That's fair but I'm enjoying the heck out of other books that don't have Gambit in it. If he wasn't, I would have given this book a shot still. The only thing that kept me in this far is his inclusion. I would have dropped this book after issue 1. To be fair, I'm not feeling Marauders too much either, haven't read 2 yet, but 1 was all about Kitty, and frankly I'm over that angle in X-Men. However, I want to see where Bishop's investigation goes.


Marauders #2 was was better than #1, but not by a huge margin. Little pander-y, too whacky, didn't address two out of four subplots from the previous issue.

New Mutants and X-Force are the two standouts for me. X-Force's second issue was a lot better this week.

X-Force is the only quality book from DOX.


NM is quit funny.

Beast Kingdom Figure?
I'm not an expert but from what I understand, only Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean and Magneto are the only X-Men to get one...and Gambit comes 5th? Not bad...
Hopefully the Pop Vinyl isn't too far away and we'll get a preview soon, I hear it's coming in April (the Pop).

It is a funky design, but I guess that’s their style? If they only have a few X-men figures, then that’s cool. I am still crossing my fingers for that funky pop...

Not sure if this was brought up. But Gambit is in the 'Incoming' cover. The original title obscured his body. This is a slightly altered cover with the title moved...and there you see Gambit behind Thing at the very top.

Finally read Excalibur 3. Not because I couldn't, but because I didn't care to... Issue 3 was better than 1 or 2 purely from a narrative standpoint but not nearly good enough or interesting enough for me to continue buying this. The best part for me was the end with Pete Wisdom who should be a team member or at least a regular.


Tini continues to write Gambit as whinny and her dialogue is still very choppy in places. She's now portraying Jubilee as annoying mother type and Betsy as obsessed with her brother, despite the danger it puts her friends in. The book's not good and is begging for stronger editorial oversight.
Title: Re: Gambit Watch
Post by: andresa on December 10, 2019, 08:02:56 AM
I care so little for Excalibur that I flipped through it looking for Gambit, saw he's still whiny, and completely forgot to read it through.


Also, this: https://comicbook.com/marvel/2019/12/07/x-men-animated-series-new-project-disney-plus/ (had posted the wrong link somehow)

Cancelled my subscription for Excalibur. If you are not Betsy not matter what you will do will happen off panel or won't be important.


Gambit charged shield and next panel shows explosion just as wallpaper while other characters are talking as front and center.
Book is very bad. Won't buy it and support.

It takes a lot to discourage a Gambit fan.

The Gambit fandom hasn't had much in story for some time. Its disheartening.

Its not worth reading. Not because Gambit isn't doing much, but because it's not a good book outside of art.

I find terribly paced and the dialogue doesn't flow for me. With so much x-men on the horizon, I can't afford to buy something I'm not going to read. Please, keep us updated.

Oh wow, Excal 3 felt like a train wreck

Edit: Turns out it wasn't as bad as I first thought. It just felt really off because I never finished issue 2. It still wasn't great and seemed more a stalling comic than a proper advancement. Though. I guess, this says plenty about my feelings on issue two as well >.>

I'm reading it, and just read #4. Yeah...I'm still getting the Milligan vibes with Gambit's voice, he is quite obnoxious and has no charisma whatsoever. His attack on the British protesters was idiotic, because someone threw a bottle at him? He has more tolerance than that. I didn't mind the idea of him and Rictor on a mission together, I'm very much for the idea of Gambit working with established characters that he's never really worked with, so that was a tick for me. The book overall? The last 2 issues have slowly improved. There are some solid ideas. The art is by far the best out of all six DoX books, no doubt about that. On a side note, Rogue's awake now, but Gambit doesn't know it, so hopefully he'll simmer down once he finds out. He does finish the issue on a cliffhanger.

Nice one!


Minor cameo spotting, in the preview pages for Incoming, Sinister is in his lab monologue-ing about wanting to experiment more with clones and mutant dna. There are images of mutants/X-men in the background and gambit is one of the images. That’s pretty much it, though, like I said minor cameo.
