My various ramblings and opinions as I hyperfixate on Gambit

X-Men 1991 #33

Love the Remy and Sabretooth backstory, I do think that Remy should look more like an 18 yr old tho.

Uncanny X-Men #266

I love his introduction so much. Doing crime, saving kids, life is a fuck, 10000 crimes. I'm glad they changed his power colors from green to pink though

Gambit (2022)

He loves to adopt lost children
The background characters in this are so cute, also some bery good character moments and I need to read it again, I have so many screenshots saved up for this run.

Gambit (2022)

A lot of fun moments in this comic but I really like the throwaway comment that tells us where Gambit got his trademark magenta armor: Lila Cheney. Also he's so willing to go into space and live there forever with his friend he's known for like, a month? Except he does have to stay and babysit storm.

Uncanny X-Men #273

Great for establishing initial relationships between Gambit and the rest of the team. "...bang... you dead."
He's such an asshole early on I love it, I'm organizing these chronologically but reading in a different order. Which makes it really funny to try and get a grasp on his characterization, cause it gradually fluctuates so much over time. I like to think he's purposfully misleading people, deception king.

Uncanny X-Men #279

He gets an official x-men outfit! He's also an asshole! I think they're all being semi-mind controlled iirc but I'll be honest I skimmed this one. He fights Wolverine a bunch

X-Men annual(1991)

Fun lil training mission, then mojo shows up and shit goes down. I really enjoy the art in this one. I don't so much enjoy the era of Gambit flirting with an unreceptive rogue so much that it's pretty much sexual harrasment.
there is a handy map of the x-mansion which i make a note of for future reference.

X-men

Basketball goat
he's just having fun!

X-men

This is when Belladonna shows up first and I enjoyed it, I still can't find where the arc continues. Supposedly "Ghost Rider #12" but I cannot find it. What happens to the kids??
Also Bishop and Gambit bond a bit. And by that I mean fight and then accidentally throw a charged homemade boysenberry at Rogue and she gets pissed. (I would too tbh)

Gambit (1993)

Guild lore, tithing, LeBeau lore, Belladonna shit, ya love to see it
Everybody SO mean to him and he JUST wants to help but he's gonna be broody about it.

X-men

I think Cannonball and Gambit should be friends. There's one scene in issue #xxx where Sam hustles the entire table of X-men by playing up the country bumpkin act. Everybody falls for it except Gambit. In the final hand Remy has a better hand than Sam, but rather than win he charges the final card and blows up the table. Then he concedes the pot to Sam. What a play!! outstanding move! There ARE easier ways to let somebody win, but noooo, he MUST explode the whole table and lower everybody's opinions of him.

X-Men 1991 #38

Some juicy romy shit. Gambit just had a character growth moment where he doesn't kill sabretooth. Rogue overhears and says "is that a fight we can win?"(the fight being in reference to him and rogue being happy together) "[she heard] enough to realize how wrong she was to blame [him] for the things he did in [his] past when [her] own is just as messed up. [but she] also knows that [they] won't ever work right until we both accept what we've done in our lives."
When he asks when that's going to be she says hopefully soon. Cause she can't run from who she was if it means running from who she wants to be.

Gambit and Bishop: Sons of the atom

LOVE them!! so silly, please bring back their relationship

Gambit and Bishop: Sons of Atom

Gambit and Bishop sometimes have the same color of energy and I NEED somebody to expand upon their whole fucking buckwild relationship. Is Gambit gonna transcend time and become the Witness??

Uncanny x-men

They're so mean to my boy

Trial of Gambit

>:(

Gambit

God he's so blorbo, boy was raised catholic and now he has martyr disease. They abandoned him and he still just wants to go back

Gambit

I didn't care for the whole green spirit succubus arc, it could've been much more interestingly done imo. Also I think Sinister should've saved him from Antarctica.

I forgor

REALLY bold of Rogue to mock Gambit for not being able to keep warm. ESPECIALLY considering I'm p sure he can use his powers to keep warm and also she DID abandon him in Antarctica

Deadpool Vs. Gambit

Not much depth to his character but it was fun
I was reading this and thinking, huh, this guy looks a lot like Fat Cobra, kinda wish they would diversify the character designs of non-white ppl, and THEN, it was HIM!

Deadpool V. Gambit

I really do love the art int his. Gambit's big crooked nose I love you so much. I also love the canonical fact that Deadpool and Gambit are used to teaming up together for crimes. Underutilized fact.
Throws deadpool at the pathetic lil guy.

King of Thieves

I like when he and hawkeye meet. I don't know if they have beef outside of this one run, but I do feel like this writer in particular really thought it was funny to pit them against eachother. They were right, it's so fucking funny. Poor hawkeye...

King of Thieves

Fence has done nothing wrong ever. YES he drugged Gambit but like,,, as a friend

King of Thieves

I really like this one, he does cool shit! He's just a little guy! people keep giving him positions of authority and he's doing his best FUCK

King of Thieves

He's getting in his superhero getup Specifically to stir shit up in the villian bar he's going to, I love him

I forgor

but spiderman is there
They wander around in the sewers a lot.

X-23

This man CANNOT stop adopting kids. It means so much to me that Storm saw Laura having a hard time, did her best to help, realized that she couldn't help, and thought "y'know who's great with Teenagers With Issues? My best friend REMY who raised me for six months when I was baby" and then called Remy, in my opinion she didn't even have to ask him to help. She just said "Hello, how have you been, I am well but one of my students is having problems" and Remy was already packing.

X23

He and Laura are such good friends I adore them so much!!! Absolutely amazing run, I miss this Gambit.

All New X-Factor

So fucked up this got cancelled a decade ago it's gotta be one of my favorites. He is a little shit!

All New X-Factor

His kitties...

Uncanny x-men

After he stole the eye from the dragon I had such high hopes but the writer is not focusing on Gambit, which is fine, but she abandoned my BOY
at least he had like, two pages, of mentoring Calico, it is what he does best.

Uncanny x-men

Anime ass cover I love it. They really will have artists draw the absolute best covers with incredibly cool concepts and then the issue itself will Never look at that concept with a ten foot pole.

TVA #3

TVA so far has been hit or miss for me, I'm not really a fan of the super clean art style, I prefer a more inky aesthetic. I also would prefer for this Gambit variant to have an arc outside of Rogue. I enjoyed the character moments in this issue though, everybody jumping to Jimmy's defense was very good.

TVA #3

This little bonding moment between Remy and Jimmy was very sweet!

Excalibur

I have not read this yet, I love his outfit though. Fantasy ass trenchcoat

the original animated series

He's just a lil guy

X-men: Evolution

Love the official high school au show. They were so right for having Rogue be goth. Gambit should've been younger in this imo, but I love his stupid bowl cut.

X-men: the animated series '97

Hmm, I enjoyed some parts of this. The designs are very good, the animation isn't my favorite but it's not bad. I wasn't a fan of the Rogue/Magneto/Gambit love triangle. Other than that I loved some of the gambit moments! And ep 5 waoughajsdhlkdsf

Deadpool Vs. Wolverine 2024

A fun watch! I'm not the biggest fan of Gambit in this but I do have to give this movie credit for re-igniting my long dormant Gambit fixation. It also deserves a shoutout for giving him an actual Cajun accent. I don't really like his appearance though. He's missing Gambit's signature eyes, and the hair is way to stiff. I am glad Channing Tatum finally got to play Gambit though, it's a nice ending to that whole story.

What If: Galactus Transformed Gambit

OOC imo but thank god he's competent and does interesting things with his powers, it's all I want. In the words of Nick Fury from some game "Too many people have made the mistake of thinking Gambit's a one-trick pony. Anybody who watches him closely should know better"

Romy

DISCLAIMER: I have not read all of the Rogue&Gambit stuff, there is a significant chance my opinion will change once I acquire more information. I see why people like the ship and no hate to them! it's fine, just not for me.
Okay, here's my hot take on romy: I don't like it as it currently is. I feel like Gambit got character assassinated in order to progress the relationship. I also love the drama heavy period of their relationship. There's a lot of juicy potential in their relationship and I adore the dynamics they have: pink/green, energy sapper and energy creator, black hole and martyr. I have a lot more opinions but I need to condense them more and find the source material that I'm thinking of.

Transmasc Gambit Evidence #1

He is well known for always taking his shirt off, because he is proud of his top surgery!!!
