Saved Storm from Nanny and the Orphan Maker

Proved to the X-Men he wasn't the Onslaught traitor Bishop suspected

Led the X-Men in Claremont's second run

Saved the world from aliens in X-Treme X-Men and ended up depowered as a result

Was listed as Marvel's third most popular character in a reader poll behind Wolvie & Spidey in the mid-90's

Claremont and Nicieza know how to write Gambit. I don't trust anyone else to though, not even Lobdell who I loved. He's not my favorite X-Men, but I like the character mainly due to the 90s cartoon and think he's been mistreated by too many writers.

As for the Wolverine movie - May 1, 2008! I CAN'T WAIT!

I thought John Layman's run was good. Took a nice, fun and uncomplicated approach to the character. Chuck Austen's little UXM two-parter was a refreshing change too.

Gambit works if done in a certain way. He was of a period of style over substance and, while that isn't always a bad thing, a lot more could be done with him. Recently he's been made into a joke and it doesn't help that a lot of comic writers hate him.

I really hope Gambit's in this movie. They've passed on too many opportunities not to have him in an "X-Men" film.

The title itself is pretty sweet: X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I wonder if there'll be more after this and Magneto. Speaking of Magneto, did they ever announce who would be the director for that film?

I'm still waiting for her, like I waited for Kitty until X2 and Beast until X3. I want a full-fledged Jubilee, not just some chick running through the mansion.

Is there a level LOWER than here?

**Jo Dawn** · 10-20-2007, 12:09 PM

Well, not to fuel the fire, as per the Gambit thing... I used to really like him (my brother still does) but I felt his constant 'I love you Rogue, but now I dont but now I do' got tired quickly. So, really, I dont care if he's in it or not.

As for the movie... :/ The only incarnation I ever like Wolverine in was the movies (and I was about done with him then, too), so I'm not all that hyped about a WHOLE Wolvie movie.

*Raph's Girl* · 10-26-2007, 09:08 PM

Kodi Smit-McPhee has been cast as a young Logan in the upcoming Wolverine movie. Kodi is 11 years old. Now...who's playing Rose?!

I read that yesterday. Here's hoping Ryan Reynolds plays him.

*KROW* · 12-10-2007, 04:45 PM

I'm not a big Deadpool fan, but Reynolds would be gold for that role.

Well...um...Bishop picked a fight with him because he thought he was the X-Men traitor.

Other than that...not much. Gambit's one of my least favorite X-Men. I even think Shatterstar's cooler, because he at least has a sword.

*Dr. Doom* · 12-10-2007, 10:42 PM

Nothing created by Rob Liefeld is cooler than anything else ever.

*Raph's Girl* · 12-11-2007, 06:55 AM

Deadpool?! Frak! He needs his own movie period!! Oh man... Deadpool in the Wolverine movie. How many Golden Girls references will this movie have now??

Wolverine is cool and all but Deadpool just reeks of awesomeness!! Yay!! Deadpool on the big screen!!!

Now they just need a Hydra agent named Bob....

I really don't get all the Liefeld hate. Sure his artistic talent...leaves much to be desired, but I'm entertained by his bad art in the same way bad movies are entertaining, so IMO his comics are still worthwhile.

IMO there are people in comics who are more deserving of criticism, like Todd McFarlane for being an egomaniac who goes on and on in interviews about how he created a character better than Superman or Batman even though Spawn really was just a fad of the 90's.

It's not just that his art is bad. It's that coupled with the fact that he tends to swipe other peoples art.

*Brodie* · 12-11-2007, 11:43 AM

And he thinks he's hot ****...Telling Jim Lee that he was crazy when Lee told him to ditch the Cap cover where he had Liefield tits. "No, you're wrong, I'm -awesome-."

Never heard that one before. I do know he has some funny ideas about anatomy, and everyone always looks like they are angry and on steroids in his art.

Still, I'm kinda neutral on the guy, because there are much bigger jerks in comics, and I still think Cable is cool.

*odupianist* · 12-11-2007, 06:18 PM

I have a feeling if they cast Deadpool right, he's going to steal the show so to speak
