[@yoaverez]

[@Liam-yd1cb]

I love this. Not only does this showcase my favorite fictional character, it also shows just how versatile Gambit's mutant abilities are. He's not just about throwing cards. The guy is saturated with kinetic energy, so he constantly has the inherent inertia to perform moves that an Olympic gymnast would need a good running start to pull off. His ability to convert potential energy into unstable kinetic energy means that he can turn anything he touches into a concussion grenade with a short fuse. I love the scene where he sends kinetic energy into his car's brake mechanism to effect a sudden stop. What I DON'T love is Magik as the bad guy. They should have used Spiral or some other morally dubious teleporter (although Remy throwing his cards through her portal was incredibly innovative).

[@brandontrammel4581]

Comic fans know that at his most powerful Gambit is an omega level mutant. He literally beat the Phoenix in an alternate universe than the main Gambit got his full powers and beat him. The only reason he doesn't get his full powers back from Sinister because Gambit is understandably afraid of his power and that responsibility

[@ldsr8911]

I think the 90’s x-men cartoon was my real introduction to the superhero genre, and Gambit, Rogue and their relationship was one of the most memorable aspects. It could easily be a trilogy. Some story that has them unite, get separated, then reunite. As long as it stays true to the characters, like this short does, it’d be very profitable.

Deadpool was never really populad wdym? The most famous x-men are actually Ciclop and Wolverine, and Gambit had a lot of fans for a support character aswel as Rogue.

[@SchMasHed]

Most people didn't know who Deadpool was till Ryan Reynolds got ahold of him. And that only happened because he was mentioned in one of the comics.

[@Werebat]

Probably a good thing that modern Hollywood has left Gambit alone.

[@blacksuburban2410]

FoX said they didn’t use Gambit because he was too much like Wolverine. Both hot headed, both would come and go, and both had mysterious pasts. Only, Wolverine didn’t remember his past, and Remy just had powers that prevented his mind from being read by even the most powerful telepaths like Xavier and Jean Grey… even in Phoenix form. There’s kinetic energy around his brain blocking ANY outside influence. At full strength as the New Son, he’s an Omega Level Mutant with the power to destroy the entire planet. He can control the energy in ALL things, not just inanimate objects. And he doesn’t have to touch anything to charge it.

[@ronaldandlinda]

I really wish they would make a full feature film in Gambit. Other than Wolverine, Gambit is the coolest X-Men character.

Well, they did depower Rogue, but in the overall scheme of things, and knowing them, it was all part of the plan. Rogue does have high invulnerability, strength and speed, so could have easily gotten out of the machine and beat Majik in a second, but then the payday wouldn't have been worth it.

[@tylerscott2116]

Gambit is such a dynamic character. Expert Martial Artist Expert Acrobat Bojutsu Expert Expert Marksman Master Thief And his powers haven't even been talked about yet. I like a Alpha level Gambit, because he isn't too powerful to not have to integrate his skills with his powers...But if there was one power I would like him to have that he has at a omega level but at a alpha level other than his traditional tactile kinetic conversion and acceleration with inanimate objects would be the ability to absorb kinetic energy as well to enable him to have limitless endurance. The ulitmate defensive and passive power that makes sense for Gambit to have is to not tire on a molecular level. I don't know if it's canon, but I've heard his physique is perfectly constructed for constant movement on a molecular level from stored kinetic energy. That's the coolest concept that goes well with his offensive powerset to charge objects.

Is not a matter to find the right idea. They are already there. The problem is the Disney studios always kissing sjw ass.

Check on youtube and you ll find a video explaining and showing how much cooler all outfit were meant to be for each movie and how Disney studio wiped out till the last of them. they were so much more believable, steam punk, original, I swear every single one was ten times better then the final filtered products

[@miniwolfsbane2407]

@Da le Disney has always been a family friendly company. I'd prefer my superhero movies without gore and sex, as do many others. You don't need any of that to be mature or get an audience. Batman, Avatar ATLA, Gargoyles, and the original X-Men show all had mature, dark tones and got adult audiences without any gore, sex or going too dark. Something can be satisfying and have a PG or under rating.

Speaking of recycled garbage, this comment has been remade, reimagined and retarded as long as people have been making, “fan films”. Better than current films? Stop. Just stop. This one in particular is especially awful. You’ve lost your objectivity if you think otherwise. Lower budget shouldn’t mean lower your expectations for what you/we all call, “Good.”

Gambit was always my favorite. Even without his mutant abilities, the powers he gained from his clan were amazing. People always forget he has supernatural powers as well as mutant abilities.

Absolutely, man

Wait, what supernatural powers? I don't remember this. If so, he's even more my favorite.

[@allenbutcher2114]

He's evidently so powerful he can age his car. It was a '67 Chevelle until he slammed on the brakes. He stopped it so hard it became a '70.

[@spaclivesmatter8120]

Looks like an afterthought as they wanted to show the charged calipers and rotors when it stopped... the 67 seems to have steel wheels. It was a cool thought, I’ve never seen Gambit accidentally use his powers before, but I thought he had to use direct skin contact like Rogue.

[@thee_morpheus]

I wouldn't say all of that

[@Lockn3s5]

Disagree. Bad accent. A lot of poor delivery of specific lines. Not all bad just not a great Remy. Believable enough but just doesn't have his swagger. To play Remy one must exude charisma. And that accent is so very specific that it needs to be on point. His normal speech patterns came out too frequently.

[@thee_morpheus]

@@Lockn3s5 100% agree, he is servicable at a comic-con, but not anything with a decent budget clearly. Too cosplay-ey

[@wolvesalpha9756]

His hair is wrong just doesn't resemble gambit for me and why is Magick even in it lol

[@CarlosCruz-hp9nb]

He's a modern take on gambit. In the 90s cartoon is the only other comparison they're really is. An it's not realistic for today. The accent is settle, no over done. We have accents but not as thick as hollywood likes you to think we do. Only thing he's missing is contact lenses. Other than that leave it.

i know Eric's hurtin for cash but no matter if it's a big budget hollywood blockbuster or an independent net video, he always delivers the goods. it would have been a respectable production anyways BUT watchin Roberts do his thing makes it special.

[@AnthonySforza]

Yea, Fix really screwed the pooch with Dark Phoenix. They should have done Inferno, the special effects are finally there. They introduced Sinister adlt the end of Apocalypse, then Illyana in New Mutants. So bring them together in X-Men: Inferno and then at the end of it, have them concerned about what to do with the new team of mutants... With Cable and Domino (From Deadpool 2) stepping up, like they're taking them in. Then we get an ACTUAL X-Force movie, where maybe they picked a couple more guys up, along the way... Like Warpath or Siryn. Fox could have had their very own universe... But they thought another crack at the Phoenix would solve their problems. Pretty sad when a cartoon has upstaged not one, but two cinematic attempts of a story.

@@marked4death076 Yeah, Sinister de-powered him at his request because he couldn't control them. Then Gambit time-traveled and had Nathanial Essex (Sinister) put it back in his head.
