It was the logic of "WHAT THE @#@$" for Gambit. The @#!@ does that even mean? Why was that even a thought in the head of an X-Men writer?
Apologies for agreeing with you, as I said, househusband isn’t a role for a superhero anyone wants to read about. the snide “little househusband” comment is insulting. Insulting to the character, his fans, and actual househusbands, bc it comes across as it being a bad thing.
Honestly, I thought that was the concept Marvel writers were going for with Gambit. Gambit says to Rogue, let’s build a house, she says: I’d rather go back to work. She says: I don’t want a family, he says your body your choices. He supports her in all things, then sends her off to work with a kiss and a bagged lunch. I thought the writers were presenting with an example of a male hero we haven’t really seen before. not that I like it
at all, the relationship is totally one sided and not the least bit reciprocal. So I am confused by the ‘little househusband’ comment, was that not the character they were building, the direction they were going? And that’s ignoring the food prep, the cat maintenance and the hair brushing.
The annoying thing is they would never say this the other way. Imagine the flack a writer would get for saying something like, "Oh maybe Rogue should just be a housewife now." While Gambit is off adventuring. The headlines and twitter mobs would be going ape.
If I were braver on Twitter, I’d go out and suggest it.
Okay Remy, just go sit over there stay quiet and look pretty. Also, you have no shirt. Boop.
