He might not be as cute, but it looks like they've at least vaguely left Gambit's powers intact.
Beautifully so. Including the coat and his personal style. Compared to what it appears they've done to Barnell... Beak, in the comics... whose look and powers have entirely changed: Makes you wonder why they chose that character at all. Why not just call him "George" if they aren't going to use Barnell's personality or attributes at all?
Not a big deal, just a little puzzling. It surely isn't to attract all the Beak fanboys out there.
I love the fact that they're letting him use the bo staff and properly with his powers
Yes, yes, yes
and the acrobatics and the cards and the hat and the *starts to reach pitches only dolphins can hear*
Matching you here with a whale-tone
Damn. This is going to make me start writing X-men again, isn't it?
I wouldn't complain! I haven't written an X-Men story since a bit of Wolverine/Nightcrawler slash back... Not sure when... a while ago. There it is - May 2007.
Thing is, the third X-Men movie sort of dampened my enthusiasm and I haven't been reading X-Men through the last year, for boring reasons, like not being able to afford them.
But looking at how excited I am about a few minutes of trailer - just seeing these characters - I'm excited as hell. And the movie can't possibly live up to the standards I'd want it to have. And it hardly matters because Gambit has his playing cards and his bo staff and his smirk and all's suddenly right with the mutant world, terrible though it is.
