I did this post at the other guild. I kept smacking my head with each reply. People either had crappy arguments or they took certain saractsic remarks or jokes as dead serious. I got insulted heavy duty even by the admin who is suppose to lead a example for us to follow on the boards.
I'm reposting it not to cause chaos or trouble, but I put alot of my thought and humor into this and I still have hope of people reading it and enjoying it. However, I felt the need to do a little pre-lude, which I hate to do, to make sure this goes over more smoothly.
First off your not going to enjoy this if you have no humor or at least a idea of what sarcasm is. I know that for those of you reading that who have excellent wit and sarcasm you find this to be rather insulting and I appoligise, but when you make a post and it get's ripped apart by people and you find your self asking "Are they that stupid or are they trying to be jerks?" you will understand. So if you have no humor or the words "yeah right" or "Not" confuse you, you should probably leave now.
Secound, I don't want Gambit to die. Nothing would make me happier then a celebrity whose a true fan of Gambit to start writing him. Just as Kevin Smith has written for Dare Devil and Joss Wedon has written X-men, I would love for some super fantastic writer to come along who adores Gambit and wants to write for him. However that dream may not happend any time soon in which case death may be better for Gambit which, if proven true, is a sad fact for marvel.
Third and finally, their are two types of death. The first one is physical and you can come back from. You can be shot, stabbed, incinerated, melted, and have your molecules rippeed apart; but you can come back. Magneto's died lots of times and Collosus was dead for five, but they have all come back. Everyone comes back in the marvel universe accept Bucky and Uncle Ben. Yep. Wait. They brought back Bucky didn't they. Okay everyone but Uncle Ben comes back. The secound death is near to immpossible to come back from. This is when your written into your dirt bed. It's more obvious when it's a old character not being up dated but it can also happend when you write him so poorly the character loses it's fans and what made him cool to begin with. Superman almost died this death till they killed him via Dommsday. "The world was taking Superman for granted, so we literally said 'let's show what the world would be like without Superman'." as one writer put it. Other character deaths or neear deaths are less known. Wonderwoman almost died this death when they made her a kung-fu detective instead of a amozonian princess. I'm getting off track though, my point is a death where he's shot or something is more easily recovered then a death where they constantly have him be the scape goat, village idiot, and unwarrented ass wipe. Gambit can survive bullets and fire. I just don't know if he can survive poor writing.
Now without further adue:
1. The people at marvel aren't giving him justice as well as many other characters. (The only reason Deadpool's doing fine is because the only people at marvel that notice him is the writer and the fans) dieing for a while and then coimng back when their are good writer's might not be a bad thing.
2. He hasn't died yet and it's kinda a right of passage for X-men.
3. Rogue can go crazy, get better, and by the time Gambit comes back she will be mentally stabal. (Yeah right)
4. If he's dead they can't have him do stupid things.
5. If he's dead marvel will realise what the x-men are like with out him and appreciate him more.
6. A year or two after he's dead, marvel will test the fans to see if they want him back by bringing out a one issue origins comic giving us more details about his past.
7. The longer gambit is dead, the more time GOOD writers will have to figure out how to fix things.
8. When Gambit comes back it will be a big and colorful and exciting and over the top like him.
9. If Gambit dies marvel/ati-Gambit fans will have to hate some one new and if he's dead long enough they may forget why they hated him to begin with.
10. If Gambit dies the amount of fanfiction out their will increase thus increasing the probability of GOOD fanfiction... as well as bad.
11. If gambit dies we can all where black and go to marvel head quarters in protest. it will be like a secound Halloween!
12. If Gambit dies people won't be able to blame Rogues bad writing on gambit and see that it's just BAD writing.
13. If Gambit dies we will have no reason to waste our money on what is esentially a bad comic anyway due to writing.
14. If Gambit dies the X-men will have to suspect some one else of mis-deeds for a change.
15. If Gambit dies we will all stop b***hing about how crappily he's being written and instead do constructive sessions of who and what Gambit is in the comics. I for one have a theory as to how he came to the conclusion that working for a apocalipse was a good idea that so ridiculously complex yet plausible that marvel would tottally go for it!
16. The people on this forum and the world who are fans of Gambit but also want to be writers will get their butts in gear!
17. If gambit dies Rogue will move on in his absence. Then when he comes back he will be single and back to his womanizing ways.
18. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and people who were kinda meh about him will realise how much his cajun charm did for the books.
19. People who are kinda meh about Gambit RPG's will be more into it to get their Gambit fix.
20. Fan artists will see how naked gambit pics will sell better now and stop drawing Poison Ivy going down on Harley Quinn. Okay the last part of this last one might not happend but the first part of this last one might!
I would love for some super fantastic writer to come along who adores Gambit and wants to write for him. However that dream may not happend any time soon in which case death may be better for Gambit which, if proven true, is a sad fact for marvel.
Yeah that would be great! I think he is growing on Carey though so I am pretty happy with the current direction Marvel are taking Gambit in. I think making him Death and sending him into Limbo was a half-death and the fans rallied and demanded him back and showed that he certainly does still have a large fan-base.

Thats a good point...but then that is the advantage of a character having their own book. As Gambit is on a team he only has a percentage of the fans. But he still has a fair sized percentage and at least has proven himself capable of having a solo run.

4. If he's dead they can't have him do stupid things.
Hahaha.....well, dying would be pretty stupid of him! LOL But I think it would be kinda cool for him to die doing something REALLY heroic, proving that he was a good guy and not a traitor all along!

5. If he's dead marvel will realise what the x-men are like with out him and appreciate him more.
But they have Pulse! (JOKE)
Actually they have so many characters in X-Men that to them they wouldn't care but just focus on other characters for a while. (gawd...not another Cyclops adventure! Argh!)

Hmmm....of course no7 could backfire and the longer he is out of circuit the less chance that writers wanna take him on.
8: Yes it would be a big event but then, like with Colossus and Psylocke, it doesn't take long for things to go back to 'normal' for the character.

I love the way Rogue is being written now (yay to Carey) but she (and Gambit) were terrible beforehand, but of course we knew both characters were suffering at the hands of poor writing. LOL...just imagine Rogue getting all weepy and soppy and terrible cos of Gambit dying! Haha...that'd teach anti-Gambit fans! LOL

Mmmmmmmmmm........I certainly wouldn't say no to that! I wish Gambit was a flirty, kissing, free agent again! *sigh*
*******************
Wow, GothamGirl......that wasn't bad at all! I thought, after your warning, it was gonna insult the Cajun but your points were very well put and understood! Haha....I now am curious as to how bad the other Guild took this? Were they just gunning for a fight?
Anyhoo.....excellant post! I look forward to seeing how everyine else here takes to it? We like analysing Gambit and debating! _________________ *

"Playin' for keeps is still playin', Mon Ami, so take a card...ANY CARD!"
Yeah I thought the post was interesting too, had some funny points and was well-thought out!
The whole dieing and coming back thing has pros and cons...
Really a comic book and comic book character should be written well enough and have interesting enough stories to keep fans buying it...
In a perfect world Marvel would employ writers that have the ability to bring interest and justice to all of the characters that they write as well as maintain those jawdropping heart-wrenching storylines....Without having to kill characters off every once in a while to renew interest...
6. A year or two after he's dead, marvel will test the fans to see if they want him back by bringing out a one issue origins comic giving us more details about his past.
Now this I would love to see, because although it's been hinted at it's never yet been shown that much. Sure, we know he was homeless until about 10, then in the Thieves Guild, but we don't know much about the time between his exile and creating the Marauders, or the time between that and joining the X-Men. I personally would love to see more stuff dealing with the Guild, but that's just me

I'd love for the haters to get over it already. Ok, we know you don't like him, but that doesn't mean that everybody doesn't like him. Same with the editors etc at Marvel.

Once again I agree. They both had a spate of terrible writing, but Rogue is now being written a hell of a lot better by Carey (who is still currently my god) and he's starting to get Gambit back to the way he should be. Hopefully we'll see more of this in the forthcomming issues, and even more hopefully someone who can continue to do the same will pick Gambit up.

Amen to that. It would be nice if they could keep people interested without having the 'shock' of killing them off, only for the fans to know they'll be back within a year at the least (or less if you're Cable). FFS, death is supposed to mean something and have some impact, but it's lost all of that. I'm just glad that some authors are using death properly (the slaughter of the depowered students in New X-Men) and can only hope that anybody who is killed in the crossover stays dead (and oh boy have I shot myself in the foot if that includes Gambit).
****************************
I have to say that overall I think that Gambit is being written well again, although we haven't really seen that much of him yet. I think that this crossover is the make or break for him. If the writers can write him well, and maybe make a few new fans for him, then I don't thing he'll need to be killed. If they don't write him well, and his characterisation drops back to the level that it was in Blood of Apocalypse then I will pull the trigger myself and pray that the Phoenix effect brings him back with a decent writer.
I guess my biggest worry at the moment is not him being written badly but if he'll continue to be written after the crossover.

You know....would it be a good thing if Gambit tradgically died and then turned out not to be the 'real' Gambit after all? Like perhaps the one we're seeing is a Sinister Clone? (LOL....fat chance I know! Plus it still counts as a meaningless death just to stir up the comics!)
I think death IS a tricky thing in comics as if its someone low key then it isn't going to have the impact, but a big character is not gonna stay dead and rightly so if they have a good fanbase!
Some 'good' death stories for me was Blink and Magik.....although both came back, but they died in a way that touched the heart but were not faves that (by me) were missed...

Even if you disagreed, you did it respectfully and more important then that you were logicall in the way you went about it. I thank you all who have replied. This is my new home.

I would like to see a explanation for the tunnels they have in a place below sea level. They can't bury people in the ground but they have underground tunnels? Mind you that in a world of talking apes and magic any thing is possible but never the less I want a reason! Also, Gambit's first time would be a interesting tale.

Their is a difference between a place for fanfiction and the amount out their. Do we have a a reviewer who gives the fanfiction stars?

No offence to the guild, but I am saving that one for when I write for marvel. I realise realistickly that may be a decade or two, so you will have to wait. my fear isn't that marvel would steal my idea, but tweak it if they got word of it. It's one thing to steal a good idea and it's quite another to make it a bad one.

I have certain issues with various things, but I suppose it will take time to fix things and simultaniously have a story moving along smoothly.

No, a fight requires the notion that the other person will fight back to a degree and possibly a referee is involved. When everyone grabs their torches and pitch forks, well, that's quite different from a fight. Particularly when the ref has a pitch fork as well. Not that I can prove my point of view what with the topic being removed. Very difficult to defend my self when it's hear say. My only solice, again, is seeing how you all have reacted. Politely. Rationally. Orderly. You know, the way any board should act when properly moderated.
Thanks again for this secound chance of the topic, even if it were to die now due to lack of interest. Still, I am hopefull of getting more input.

I'd like a 'Gambit-the younger years' solo series! That would be cool. Maybe showing his pick-pocketing Jean-luc and being taken into the Guild and his rise within it...as well as discovering his powers (which have been touched upon I know).
Yes the tunnels thing could make for some very interesting facts being uncovered! Either they're not below ground but is protected from detection by magic, or (my fave option) the mouth to the tunnels actually go through a portal into a secret place. There is MUCH more hidden secrets within the Guilds structure and reason for being than simple thievery after all! _________________ *

My theory has always been that they use pumps of some sort, and with the level of engineering that came from the old kingdom it would have been easy enough for the old Guild to build the waterproof, sealed tunnels that they're still using today. But that's just me.

That would be very cool. I'd love to see his life from that point. Like I said before I'd also love to see what happened to Gambit after he was exiled. Sure, we know he wandered, but how did he cope with his growing powers, how did he meet Grey Crow and Clare DeLuc, what happened in that Theatre and how did he hook up with Sinister. I want to know

Very true. We don't have a reviewer who gives an 'official' rating as such, but we have the story post with a seperate post for reviews and discussion. You can find it down in the Rogues Gallery section of the board. It would be interesting to have a master list of the fiction with a combined rating from everyone who read it. Hmmm. I may well have to impliment that.

Just out of interest what issues do you have? I know that Nick has some, and I myself (despite being a Carey fan) can accept that Carey isn't perfect and perhaps we're seeing things move a little slowly with finding out what the hell went on with Gambit between BoA and now. Like you said, it's difficult to have the story moving on in a team book and trying to get everybody's character development in. I'm holding to the fact that Carey said that by the end of the crossover we'll know.

Hey, no problem. There are some theories and things that I keep from the Guild too, mostly because they're going in my novel instead and I don't want anybody to think I'm plagerising myself.
Sounds like things got pretty bad over there. I'm sorry to hear that. I guess some people just react differently to different topics. You're always welcome here anyway. _________________ And I sit, endlessly watching the people as they walk below me, knowing that I will never walk among them, knowing I will never live as they have lived and loving them for it.

Although we can't comment as such on the other board, not having posted there, I second Stef in welcoming you here GothamGirl. Sometimes *ahem* we *cough-me,GG, RL-cough* can go a bit silly posting 'nonsense' when the board is quiet but these Gambit-discussion/topic posts are just what we need. I love answering these 'seriously'. Kitty44 has also asked some good things lately regarding a essay she is working on involving Gambit and Cajuns. _________________ *

I think we've reserved most of the nonsense for the meeting hall no? Ok it probably has leaked out into the other threads every once in a while...Still we are fond of the serious discussions too. And I'll third welcoming you here GothamGirl!
Too bad we already have a GG though...hmmmmm...is it cool if we just call you GAM? Or if you don't like that could you give us a nickname we could call you? Most of us don't like typing out full names...we're lazy!
My fingers always wanna type G-Girl....but I am pretty sure she doesn't like 'lazy shortcuts'

3. will rogue ever be mentally stable? i doubt it.
4. true, then the people who know him best can make him do stupid stuff (isn't it sad when fanfic writers know more than people who get paid to know?)
5. I doubt marvel could realize potential if it had a big neon sign that said POTENTIAL!But we can hope lol.
6. this i like greatly.
7. IF they can ever figure out how to fix things
8. true. he'll never be treated that good until then.
9.Doubt it lol.

11. i wouldn't. they'd call me a terrorist, just because of a few letter bombs i'd bring with me
12. true that.
13. true as well.
14. yeah...nah they'll come up with a way. "ITS GAMBIT IN ROUGE'S HEAD CONTROLLING HER! DAMN THAT CAJUN!" or "Jeez Bishop is slaughtering us all. Its cause he worked for gambit in the future." or some such stuff.
15. If you think yours is ridiculously complex, i'd love to hear it. i come up with ridiculously complex theories all the time.

13. If Gambit dies we will have no reason to waste our money on what is esentially a bad comic anyway due to writing.
14. If Gambit dies the X-men will have to suspect some one else of mis-deeds for a change.
15. If Gambit dies we will all stop b***hing about how crappily he's being written and instead do constructive sessions of who and what Gambit is in the comics. I for one have a theory as to how he came to the conclusion that working for a apocalipse was a good idea that so ridiculously complex yet plausible that marvel would tottally go for it!
16. The people on this forum and the world who are fans of Gambit but also want to be writers will get their butts in gear!
17. If gambit dies Rogue will move on in his absence. Then when he comes back he will be single and back to his womanizing ways.
18. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and people who were kinda meh about him will realise how much his cajun charm did for the books.
19. People who are kinda meh about Gambit RPG's will be more into it to get their Gambit fix.
20. Fan artists will see how naked gambit pics will sell better now and stop drawing Poison Ivy going down on Harley Quinn. Okay the last part of this last one might not happend but the first part of this last one might!
1. true. and man do i love deadpool.
2. AHAHAHAHA
3. will rogue ever be mentally stable? i doubt it.
4. true, then the people who know him best can make him do stupid stuff (isn't it sad when fanfic writers know more than people who get paid to know?)
5. I doubt marvel could realize potential if it had a big neon sign that said POTENTIAL!But we can hope lol.
6. this i like greatly.
7. IF they can ever figure out how to fix things
8. true. he'll never be treated that good until then.
9.Doubt it lol.
10. I<3 fanfic.
11. i wouldn't. they'd call me a terrorist, just because of a few letter bombs i'd bring with me
12. true that.
13. true as well.
14. yeah...nah they'll come up with a way. "ITS GAMBIT IN ROUGE'S HEAD CONTROLLING HER! DAMN THAT CAJUN!" or "Jeez Bishop is slaughtering us all. Its cause he worked for gambit in the future." or some such stuff.
15. If you think yours is ridiculously complex, i'd love to hear it. i come up with ridiculously complex theories all the time.
16. Me included in the butts in gear crowd.
17. DAMN STRAIGHT!
18. hopefully
19. Video games only draw a select crowd anyways, so the proportion helped would be kinda small. and video game gambit was slightly annoying.
20. wait..... did you say poison ivy going down on harley quinn? i'll brb.
First, thank you for laughing. That was my goal with quite a few of these. The fact that people took the joke ones seriously or got angry scared me. You have put me at ease. Secound, I like the humor you added with your reoplies. That's a big bonus! Third, I am glad to know another Deadpool fan likes Gambit. Finally, I meant writing rpgs, not video games. That's where I write a peice and then you write a peice. I HATE it when I enter one of those things and it dosn't get finished.
Hm, we tried one of those once but it was on the previous Guild to this one and they do tend to lose focus and die! _________________ *
