zoux posted:Where did he get his extremely futuristic costume and why does he wear an extremely not futuristic trench coat over it I like Gambit. I think his power is really cool (and charging up Rockslide needs to be done in movie form) and he's very charming, but he doesn't have a lot of good stories to lean on... though the Gambit comic by Asmus was pretty decent, wasn't it?

Al Borland Corp. posted:He still is man. gently caress the haters. He's a stupid character with a stupid accent who throws exploding cards and fucks all the women. His movie is gonna be a smash success because he rules. He has the strongest character traits of any X-Men, the trait of "charges things up and makes them explode". Also, he has a bo! Probably spells it beau but that's fine.

Gambit is a pretty interesting character when he's used in a supporting role. He's not a great focal character, he's at his best when he's the foil to a stronger lead or when he's part of a heist story because Deadpool Vs. Gambit was delightful. I mean, a large part of his appeal is definitely rooted in having been a teenager when he was at his most prominent and part of it is the glorious mess of continuity and retcons that he is. Remember when he was the Horseman Death and then he wasn't but sometimes he still is a little? And maybe he's a clone of Mr. Sinister or the third (fourth of fifth?) Summers brother?zoux posted:Also was he the first head sock guy and what is that head sock supposed to be called. Wasn't Havok as a Genoshan soldier the first head sock? Dammit, I know X-Plain The X-Men covered this but I can't remember who Patient 0 was.

I remember in the early 2000s X-Men in high school cartoon he has a cool introductory sequence of breaking into the X-mansion and unlocking a window by drawing a smiley face on it with his finger then popping out the glass.

The same attributes are true for Odinson or Stark or even Hawkeye for some extent and male readers love them. No, I think the problem is simply Gambit.

I thought of a few good actors for Shazam. The problem is they are all already in either MCU or DCEU. Basically most of the Chrises would be great. Pratt Pine Evans Hemsworth And if you are willing to go nontraditional, Terry Crews. I honestly don't know how he is outside of comedy though. A Shazam movie is going to be at least somewhat comedic, I don't know how serious of an actor Shazam needs to be, and even if they do have to be serious I don't know that Crews couldn't pull it off since I've simply never seen him in a drama, but he handles scenes where he has to put forth other emotions well in Brooklyn 99.

My favourite Gambit moment is that series of silent panels where he calmly walks across a chaotic battlefield, taps a villain (Fem-Sinister?) on the shoulder, and whacks her with his bo when she turns around.zoux posted:Also was he the first head sock guy and what is that head sock supposed to be called.

I really think Channing Tatum would be perfect for the comedic shining hero who's really a little boy inside and I think he'd be a perfect foil to The Rock's Black Adam. Too bad WB didn't snatch him up while Gambit was still in limbo.

Only if when he transforms it uses the morphing effect from Michael Jackson's "It's Black; It's White" video as well as the theme music fading into the actual song. Also I would prefer it if in the Black Panther movie if he at some point transformed into a black panther and destroyed a car. (This is a treasured memory because I remember staying up to watch the video after The Simpsons and at the end thinking it was the most awesome thing I'd ever seen, but my parents being angry and seeing on the news that lots of people were very upset about it)

Decius posted:The same attributes are true for Odinson or Stark or even Hawkeye for some extent and male readers love them. No, I think the problem is simply Gambit. Gambit is way less typically masculine than those characters*, though Hawkeye did rock the pink and purple back in the day, and even a miniskirt! Also, don't get me wrong, Gambit is very studly and obviously an idealised masculine archetype**, but he's also much more of a romantic Casanova type compared to Odinson's drunken warrior rutting or Stark's playboy image, which are more aspirational to the typical dudebro. People like that often expose their inner toxicity when discussing Gambit, in the same way that One Direction can be a good litmus test. It's ok to not like them for many reasons, but if you just say they're a bunch of sissies or their success doesn't count because young girls and women love them then you're showing your internalised misogyny. Thanks for posting Gillen's Sinister page though, and I want to be clear that I don't think this applies to you, but I maintain there is a difference between Gambit and his appeal to people versus the characters you listed. *Plus he's bisexual. Fight me. **I have conducted extensive studies.

If people think Gambit's so sexy, he should take off his stupid metal-plated body-condom and wear a trenchcoat with no shirt.

The hot punk metal plates ARE 70 percent of what makes him so cool The other 20 percent is the headsock and 10 the trenchcoat

Gambit's stock certainly has plummeted since the 90s, but I think he's still a safer bet for a solo film than most X-men who's name doesn't end in "erine".fruit on the bottom posted:Chris Kattan. People aren't ready to settle for Kattan.
