I feel vindicated cause I was totally on board for Channing Tatum as Gambit but kept hearing all the negative feedback from fans saying he’s not fit for the character. Luckily Ryan Reynolds let Channing cook and he crushed it. From the card tricks, to the accent, and finally getting to see him bust out his real life martial arts background, the whole thing was euphoric.

[@Mate_Antal_Zoltan]

I choose to believe the little laugh he does after blowing all those goons up was a genuine reaction from Channing, finally getting to play the character he always wanted to play, and doing all the cool shit he always wanted to do

[@9visuals39]

channing will be to gambit what cavill was to geralt. everyone will hate him till they learn a bit about him. he personally loves the character, main reason being is they (gambit canonically and tatum IRL) grew up in the same area & culture, and he's been advocating for it for over a decade now, that's dedication. and he'll nail the accent when they drop the comedic exaggeration, he probably heard it every day growing up.

[@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319]

It genuinely pisses me off that the only reason they kept shelving Gambit in the X-Men movies is because Bryan Singer had such a massive raging hard-on for Wolverine he did not want anyone stealing any screentime - or audience attention - from Logan. And then Singer just abandons the franchise because as it turns out he had an even bigger raging hard-on for Superman.

[@loslakers530]

Tatum wanting it a smaller scale and more personal sounded like a very good idea actually, especially a "Heist" movie

[@ZeldaQueen64]

Especially since Gambit's backstory is so tied to his past as a thief, it feels more more fitting than "action rom com". Given how Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-man, and Endgame showed how successful superhero heist movies can be, it would be amazing (if unlikely) for Disney to give it another look.

Between the Apocalypse post credits, the Essex drug plot point in this movie, Essex owning the orphanage in Deadpool 2 and his cut appearances in New Mutants and Dark Phoenix it’s just so weird they built him up but never did a single thing with him

[@kaponosucks]

Wolverine hasn’t been the spotlight in a X-men movie since 2014

[@FuzzyFoot58]

Disney just announced a few days ago that they will "focus on the female characters" in the next X-Men movie. So, more feminism and DEI is to be expected.

[@Andrew-po8nt]

Gambit and Rogue were always more popular than Wolverine, and Cyclops was always the leader, but they never did him justice in the movies. Even Jubilee was a huge part of the 90's cartoon, but in the movies they basically switched Jubilee's arc for Rogue.

[@jonathancampbell5231]

If that's the script, they would have done Sinister dirty. He sounds like just a regular human mad scientist / evil businessman, rather than an immortal Victorian genius who has a bunch of powers himself Gambit should haven't have been a romance or a comedy; it should have been a tragedy, leading up to the Morlock Massacre and Gambit's part in it. Assembling a crew for Sinister to commit crimes in the lead up to this sounds like a good idea, but Sinister himself needed to be a more imposing and dangerous villain, who wouldn't need his henchmen to kick Gambit's ass. Ending the movie with Sinister winning and Gambit fleeing in guilt and horror would have packed more of a punch imo.
