Those websites where you can read almost any comic for free has saved me a ton of time and money.
Yes the same for me. It's a testament to the lack of quality that I'm not reading any marvel. I'm also getting bored with constantly being disapointed with Gambit. I'm not demanding much. In general Gambit is suppose to be three things: Charming, Agile and Dangerous. Grossly simplified.
Tini has skipped charming entirely. She's not even trying. On agility he's more clumsy then agile. On dangerous he's mostly doing fancy light shows or getting beaten by Apocalypse. Instead his arc seems to be about the team treating him like a whiny moron while he responds like a kid. It's insane.
First I wanted to argue with the fans. Then the writer. Then reviewers. For any of them to not state how blatantly wrong this is frustrates me. It has made me lose hope in marvel.
I get that people have favorite characters. Some even hate certain ones. To not aknowledge how bad this is just angers me. This should be in lectures on how to not write a character. It's that bad.
Instead I'm focusing my energy on writing fanfiction. In there gambit can be the things he should be. He doesn't even have to star in teambook. I actually think it quite suits him not to be the star. Then he can work in the background. Pushing and prodding the odds into his favor. Then do something risky. SOmetimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. For me Gambit doesn't have to come out top. It's more fun if there is a sense of uncertainty that he will pull it off. Like real life gambling.
