@TheDoctor1225 - agreed, you can imagine subtle hints being injected into films and Disney plus shows from now onwards.

Just please God stay far away from Hickman's run...

@CorndogBurglar - i loved house of x/powers of x... but then it just went nowhere. X of swords was a big dissapointment. But still not as atrocious as the bendis period.

@rebellion - I don't know. Hickman's run doesn't even feel like X-Men anymore. He's turned them into a bunch of racist hippies. Granted I haven't read anymore since finishing HOX/POX, but I'm just not interested.

@CorndogBurglar - Outside of X of swords I'm enjoying Hickman's run. I'm sure more is going on that will be revealed at some point but I can understand how seeing favorite characters not acting like their usual selves can be off putting.

Hickman's run on FF was GREAT !!!

@Equivocal - Okay. But his X-Men stuff sucks. Bad. So I hope they don't use that for the X-Men movies.

@dragon316 - 1) why is this an issue, since you pointed out Logan has smoked? If they're fine with cigars, no reason they'd have an issue with cigarettes.

2) even if he never smokes in the mcu version, what does that matter? Neither did the animated gambit, and its known as one of the definitive versions.

@JohnnyTBP - Same, he's one my my favorite X-Men. I'm really hoping that rumored Disney+ series turns out to be true, would love to see it.

@dragon316 - Aaaaaand.....who cares if Gambit doesn't smoke cigarettes in the movie? If thats what you consider his trademark then you are missing everything that character is about.

His trademarks are his playing cards, his wit, his agility, being a creepy womanizer, and being in love with Rogue.

@CorndogBurglar - Also going though prejudice and lack of trust from fellow mutants due to his troubled and mysterious past. I always liked that about Gambit when he's part of the X-Men; shows that prejudice can also happen in between mutants.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 1/13/2021, 10:08 AM
@HannibalLecter - Yeah, to be fair, he didn't help the situation back then. And he didn't have the excuse that Wolverine had, of not being able to remember his past. Gambit knew exactly what he did. He knew he formed the Marauders and led them to the Morlocks to be slaughtered. Granted, once he saw all the killing he wanted no part of it. And he was tricked by Sinister to do it. But he purposely kept all that a secret.

And I know the X-Men didn't know about that for a while, but when you've got someone on your team that won't talk about his past even though everyone knows SOMETHING went down, its kind of justified for them to be a little stand-offish. Its almost like, if you don't trust me enough to tell me what happened, then why I should trust you?

But you're right, that was always a great theme. He was obviously loyal to the X-Men, but he was still considered an outsider.

I'd like a Cable, Domino and Weapon X tv show.

Making Kitty Pride the head of the X-Men (or Marauders) also doesn't sound bad.

"To varying degrees of specificity, it’s always about 5 to 6 years out versus what we’ve announced,"

This sounds to me like 2026/7. He said vs not beyond what's announced. Reading comprehension is key folks.

The X-Men related movies/series are my most anticipated projects from the MCU, hopefully all these upcoming stories about the multiverse will wind up introducing mutants into the MCU.

I'm calling it now, Deapool 3 will also involve the multiverse and traveling across dimensions. It will likely start in Fox's universe and end up in the MCU.

You can't change my mind. The best way to go is a D+ series. The 90's cartoon had better stories and more characters than any of the movies all stuffed into bite size episodes with the run time of 20min. Something similar, live action, with a budget?
PC04
PC04 - 1/13/2021, 7:00 AM
@inkniron - D+ really could serve as a "ramp-up" for the MCU. Your idea is great! Imagine a really well crafted 8 or 6ish episode series of the XMEN in live action!? We can dream right?
GwenLantern
GwenLantern - 1/13/2021, 7:38 AM
@inkniron - That would be the biggest show on earth. Bar none

inkniron - 1/13/2021, 7:40 AM
@PC04 - There is so much material and so many questions about them in this universe that it's the best way to flesh it out to me.

I wouldn't limit it to 6 or 8. If that's all a story requires, great. I don't need filler episodes, but don't put yourself in a box if you need more to get more out of it.
