|

From the pages of Wizard 198 comes this little tidbit about X-Men Legacy.
X-Men: Legacy - Star-crossed lovers Rogue and Gambit won't be finding their happy destiny come February as this 12-issue miniseries by Mike Carey and Scott Eaton finds the pair mixing it up with a number of mutant menaces. And as the series rolls out, expect mysteries and revelations hidden in the minds of five of the X-Men's most powerful allies and foes and major plans for the Master of Magnetism.
Sounds interesting, if it's accurate, and at least we might know where Gambit ends up post MC. Also, it's got Carey writing it, which is a godsend, since he actually seems to like the characters that he's working with.

Well it's in Wizard but I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere else. Also, Carey said that Rogue probably wouldn't turn up in Legacy until the second arc and that Legacy wasn't a mini or maxi but an ongoing, so I don't know for sure. It may well be that the two of them appear in the second arc and Mags is around elsewhere in it.

Fingers crossed. As long as this is true.

That's certainly not bad news...if it's true...but it does kill my dream of a Peter David written Remy. I mean, come on, Remy in a group with Madrox and Guido...how does it get better than that?

Especially hopeful that if this is indeed Gambit and Rogue centric, that Remy will be built outside of Rogue first. Mike Carey confirmed Rogue for the second arc of legacy, which means that perhaps Gambit is going to be doing stuff on his own for the first.
As long as it isn't a craptastic Romy lovefest, destroying everything good that has been built about the two charecters since BoA. I have faith in Mr. Carey.

It'd be great if Remy was in this at all, especially if it isn't Romy. They're better off alone at the moment, at least until they've sorted some rather large issues out.
It would be amazing if Remy is doing stuff on his own in the first arc.
It's also entirely possible that we'll mostly be seeing them in flashbacks or something.
We really need more info about Legacy.

Dont hate of the Romy because that pulls in more people to like Gambit, like it or not.
But I agree that Gambit needs Gambit time. He needs to be retold on how awesome he was before (and after) Rogue was in the picture because I think alot of people are forgetting how much of a bad booty he is.
Which goes the same for Rogue. She needs to become the powerful dont give a da## alot who ever B-iotch she can be and was. I need female in power again. |

Actually from what I've seen on various message boards, Romy these days tends to drive more people away than it brings them in. The Gambit fans dislike the fact that he keeps going back to her despite everything and the Rogue fans think she's stupid to keep giving him chances. Also, there has been so much angst laden drama that most people are sick of it and the fact that it takes away from the characters themselves.
Personally I liked them as a couple back in the 90's before it all went to hell, and even in X-Treme X-Men but that was because it wasn't angst filled and they'd actually developed as a couple rather than being stuck in the 'can't touch this' rut that most writers seem to put them in.
These days I think they should be separate. Friends possibly, but even then there should be a lot of bad blood that needs to be dealt with before they actually forgive each other and become friends properly, rather than cautious friends/allies for old times sake. They need to deal with a hell of a lot more stuff and sort themselves out as separate entities before I'd even like them to consider becoming an item again.

Remy destroys both remy and rogue. I LOVED Rogue back in the day. Now I can't stand to see her within three books of Remy. Its all the same these days with them, and its destroying both sides of the fanbase. Good Romy can be written, what I'm against is the same old craptastic Romy lovefest. So, yes, I will hate on Romy all I want. Its my opinion, and a lot of people share it with me.

Did you like the little bit of interaction in #204 Ace?
That was well written and not too Romy-ish in my opinion. If it was done like that I wouldn't mind having them in the same book. More of a "we were good once upon a time, but things have changed" than a "we were destined to be together and screw everything else".

It was alright as far as nostalgic scenes go. It was written fairly well in character for Remy, and Rogue didn't do too much. It was a strong promise that he gave, and it showed conviction, which I liked.
However, I can hardly consider that Remy+Rogue as Rogue was consciously involved so little. Its easy to write a relationship when you only have to do one side. Its doing both at the same time without any sacrifice of quality to either view that takes skill. I won't hold my breath for that to happen, but it would be nice. A lot of my problem with Romy comes from how it seems so Rogue centric to me and Remy is on the periphery, where writers scarcely consider Remy. If they get both like I said, Romy might be saved.
