Official X-MEN: LEGACY Discussion Thread

[OutcryX]

Simone Bianchi's art is a mixed bag. It's so detailed and beautifully rendered, but his poses are weird, and his people ain't got no alibi











You see, because THEY UGLY!

don't worry Manic...i caught that joke even if NOBODY else did...but really, Spoonsie and Havok and Comicboy SHOULD have..but not really.

[Colossal Spoons]

Haha

[Cosmic]

X-Men: Legacy bored me to death! I think I kept buying it, because I believed that they might take it somewhere interesting. But after awhile, I wasn't even reading it. I'd get it thru the mail along with a stack of other books, and say "oh, right...I am still buying this." And then I'd set it aside and totally forget about it until the next month. I think I did this for about 6 months (at least) until I finally dropped it.

[GambitXremy]

ya the last few months havent been careys best but, this months should be good. its the big pay off that rogue fans have been waiting for

[OutcryX]

the only payoff i want for Rogue will never happen

for her to finally learn to control her powers...and somehow regain her Ms. marvel abilities...while breaking up with gambit for good and letting him regain his swagger while she gets some of her own...or get with Pulse...or be alone..or die..whichever

[Havok83]

those are my wishes for Rogue as well which mean you are right in that it wont ever happen

[GambitXremy]

give it ten more years. then maybe you will get your wish

[squeekness]

*misses Gambit's swagger too* :(

[GambitXremy]

Gambit should try Old spice HAHAHA

[squeekness]

I love Old Spice. It smells like my dad. :D

[OutcryX]

Swagga Spice is da truth. i loves it

[GambitXremy]

Gambit should be in a old spice T.V. spot before rogue and then after using old spice after rogue

[GambitXremy]

I can't wait till this book moves on for charles it's kinda boring now... but i still like mike careys writing

[ChaoticPsylocke]

again with the changing outfits!

i love that first page though!

[javi1024]

book may be dull, but at least the art is beautiful.

[GambitXremy]

ya the art has been pretty good. i miss the colorist who started the book with carey when the book went to legacy Frank D'armata

[Canemacar]

Here's a Carey interview about the future of Legacy, and more importantly, the Gambit Origins one-shot!

[UraniaChang]

Too much Rogue for my taste.
Hard to believe that she was once my favorite female character, like when I was 12.

[UraniaChang]

Sorry!

[Canemacar]

She used to be a favorite of mine as well, but these days I'm probably her biggest detractor on these boards.

[squeekness]

Me, too. Carey said that one of the characters from the 226 cover would be the one character driving the next string of stories -- Gambit, Rogue or Danger. Let me guess. Rogue! :(

[GambitXremy]

But it also said that gambit will have more of a staring roll and not just rogues Bit@#

[squeekness]

We'll see. :( I won't be holding my breath.

While San Francisco is still reeling from the onslaught of the Dark Avengers, Rogue struggles to cope with the power and perspective of a God, the young X-student Trance undergoes a terrifying transformation, and X-Men Legacy takes a dramatic new direction.

I'm a rogue fan, she's my favourite so I'm excited

[squeekness]

Oh, look. It's Rogue. :rolleyes: Called it. *sigh* Gambit will go off back to limbo... :(

[Canemacar]

Carey has literally made Rogue a god now. I know we like to make jokes about carey being a shameless fanboy, but really? A god? Jeez.

[Havok83]

god? what the hell happened with her?

[Canemacar]

Absorbs Ares. Sounds like it may be permanent from the solicits.

[Havok83]

Absorbs Ares. Sounds like it may be permanent from the solicits.
good lord. Why cant she just get her Ms. Marvel powers? When she absorbed her, their DNA mixxed and Rogue became part Kree. Easiest way to give her back her flight and strength would be to just have them re-emerge and use the DNA as an explanation for it. No need for her to go off messing with other characters to power her up

[Canemacar]

Funny how rogue's character apparently has to cannibalize other characters from a writing stand-point to sustain herself. First it was Ms. Marvel, then Gambit, then Sunfire, now Ares.

[UraniaChang]

Someday she might be blown up like a ballon because she absorbs too much.


Hope that day comes soon.

[Canemacar]

looks like her hips have already started.

[GambitXremy]

Nothing wrong with big hips HAHA

[Canemacar]

She seems to have a rubber spine as well. I'm not sure even Nightcrawler and Gambit could bend and twist like she does on the covers.

[katie_girl09]

Oh! All of you stop being so mean. :P
You know, Rogue fans blame her downfall on Gambit too.

[DJSCARLET]

*Ignores all the Rogue bashing*
Carey's making Rogue absorb Ares?:huh:
Okay...this should interesting. As long as she can control her powers finally it's cool.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

what are they thinking???? couldnt this be a miniseries or ongoing Rogue book?

what is it taking up this? im a rogue fan, and unfortunetely unable to pick up comic books at this time....but this doesnt make sense! the whole point of Xmen is to be a team....not Rogue or Wolverine + a couple of random Xmen sprinkled in.

Mike Carey apparently tried to pitch the idea of a new on going Rogue series.
Looks like that fell through.
You gotta admit though Marvel likes to play favorites. X-men may be a team book, but its always the same characters (Wolverine, Jean, Scott, now Emma) who get the spot light.

[Havok83]

Its ironic bc Carey made me love Rogue and now he's gotten to start disliking her as well

[roach]

I thought she couldnt absorb people of that caliber of power

[Canemacar]

Carey had her absorb 6 billions people at once earlier. It's clear she can do anything as far as he's concerned.

[GambitXremy]

will just have to wait and see... i have faith in carey.... he's going to drop the ball sometimes but come on people at least he's trying something new it was a ballsie move focusing a book just on Professor X.

[04nbod]

Carey has literally made Rogue a god now. I know we like to make jokes about carey being a shameless fanboy, but really? A god? Jeez.

There was discussion about making her Marvel's next cosmic force before Carey came along. It seems like a natural extension of her powers with control

[squeekness]

will just have to wait and see... i have faith in carey.... he's going to drop the ball sometimes but come on people at least he's trying something new it was a ballsie move focusing a book just on Professor X.I'd agree with this more if I was a Rogue fan. Now it will be back to Gambit following her around, mooning like a puppy, or no longer even around at all. :(

I have to say, I'm really glad that I'm not the only person who has noticed that. Marvel certainly does play favourites. The one that bugs me the most for some reason is Emma. She just comes out of nowhere, joins the X-men and starts sleeping with Scott, and suddenly she's getting all this attention (in spite of the fact that she isn't even as in-demand as, say, Gambit). WTF? They really don't seem to care what the fans want.

[squeekness]

I like Gambit WAY more than Emma. :( She's a snot to everyone and I just don't understand the appeal....

[Manic]

I like Emma more, but that has more to do with how little I care about Gambit than how much I care about Emma. Gambit seems like a cool character, but I'm gonna need some non-Rogue Gambit stories to get me to care about him.

[roach]

and yet no one has really called her or him out on this...he wife/soulmate dies and he is making out with Emma on the gravesite...and the rest of the X-men are shrugging their shoulders like its normal.

[squeekness]

I thought Logan called him on it in one of the opening issues of Astonishing. :(

[roach]

a thow away comment isnt calling him on it...Bobby, Warren, Hank and Alex should have pulled him aside and gave him a serious talking to. Yes she was apart of the X-men but at the moment he started locking lips at Jean's grave he showed that his capacity for decision making was gone. He should have stepped down and went on hiatus to get his head straight.

[squeekness]

I thought Logan was perched on the end of the bed and had even popped claws before Cyke blasted him outside. That's a bit more than just having words.....

[roach]

what issue was that

[Canemacar]

I like Emma more, but that has more to do with how little I care about Gambit than how much I care about Emma. Gambit seems like a cool character, but I'm gonna need some non-Rogue Gambit stories to get me to care about him.

Gambit Origins looks to be pretty good. I've got a link to some new artwork and Legacy info:

http://www.marvel.com/news/comicstories.8082.X-Men~colon~_Passing_on_the_Legacy

[squeekness]

what issue was that
#1? #2? It was pretty early.... I should dig that out and scan it....

[ChaoticPsylocke]

please. ive never seen it. i didnt read astonishing.

Okay, the claws came out after the blast, but still, Logan wasn't just fooling around. And it was in Astonishing #1. :)

[UraniaChang]

For a guy who has been eyeing some other guy's girlfriend for decades (not to mention kissed her twice, among other multiple times of inappropriate behavior), he thought he had some right to lecture? :whatever:

I'm a rogue fan, she's my favourite so I'm excited

According to Carey, Rogue's gonna take on the new Ms. Marvel (Moonstone) as well. She's gonna take out all the Dark Avengers herself. :woot:

Who's Trance?

[GambitXremy]

Trance is a x-kid

[DJSCARLET]

a thow away comment isnt calling him on it...Bobby, Warren, Hank and Alex should have pulled him aside and gave him a serious talking to.

They probably talked to him off panel. :whatever:
That always bugged me too. What's funny is that when ever Jean is mentioned or brought up Emma gets defensive as if Jean was the mistress.
I just think the guys at Marvel like writing and drawing Emma because of her Pamela Anderson likeness.

the point is they should have been an onscreen conversation...hell Xfactor devoted a whole issue to Jean finding out Scott was married

[GambitXremy]

really what issue?

[katie_girl09]

You know, its really interesting. I once saw a list of top 10 Marvel couples and Scott and Emma were on the list. As if! I mean, how can you have them on the list but not Rogue and Gambit (hate them as much as you want, you can't deny that before being handled poorly, they were one of the best couples)?
And don't worry guys. I don't really think that they will last. Its only a matter of time before Scott and Jean get back together.

[katie_girl09]

Double post. Sorry!

[Manic]

I hope Scott and Jean don't get back together. This is the second time he's tried to move on after her death, and she probably won't want to have sex with him in fear that Emma gave him the clap.

[katie_girl09]

Hahaha! She probably would have!
Was that mean?

[GambitXremy]

don't mutants have a natural immunity to human disease.

Funny joke tho 'the clap' HAHAHA

[Canemacar]

You can only get the clap so many times before it becomes applause.

[squeekness]

i love Whedon's dialogue.

i will always like jean more then emma
Me, too, on both counts. :)

[roach]

really what issue?

I'll have to look but the team minus Cyke is in thier Danger room and as they are testing Jean she is asking them questions about Scott and manages to trick them into revealing that he is married

[insane polaris]

You can only get the clap so many times before it becomes applause.

Haha... Clever.

[GambitXremy]

I'll have to look but the team minus Cyke is in thier Danger room and as they are testing Jean she is asking them questions about Scott and manages to trick them into revealing that he is married

I wanna see if i can find that issue... sounds like some good reading

[BoredGuy]

Okay, so uncanny ruins psylocke, armor, nightcrawler, and Legacy will ruin Gambit once again so it can focus on Angst-Girl... Do these writers like any characters besides Scott Emma and Logan (and rogue if your mike carey)?!

[GambitXremy]

Na i don't think so hahaha

[katie_girl09]

Okay, so uncanny ruins psylocke, armor, nightcrawler, and Legacy will ruin Gambit once again so it can focus on Angst-Girl... Do these writers like any characters besides Scott Emma and Logan (and rogue if your mike carey)?!
Nope! Oh they LOVE their Emma/Scott. They just keep writing about them hoping to force everyone else to love them. It isn't working for me. I just get pissed off, to be honest.
I really think that all of the characters should have at least one fanboy/fangirl on the staff that can write about them and make them look great.

[roach]

wait til you read my Xmen story

[ChaoticPsylocke]

why? whats it about?

[Manic]

Uncanny hasn't ruined Nightcrawler. It's just turned him into a background character so that he, like Armor, can be saved by The Almighty Pixie. :whatever:

[GambitXremy]

(Current)Rogue and Gambit will never look good, they just make people with right mind vomit.

Cause no men with a sense of dignity would stay with someone like Rogue, or not suffer schizophrenia in the end.

Even though they started kind of cute, but when they past the stage of teasing and tasting the water...

[roach]

Magneto discovers a planet that he wants to turn into a mutant homeworld

That is an opinion which many will disagree with you about. Rogue and Gambit will never look good you say? They already have. Back when they were placed in the hands of capable writers.

[DJSCARLET]

Agreed.
Besides its not like ROMY is a bad thing. They did (and still do) make a good couple. It's just a lot of writers like putting the two through the same bs again and again. Its more than ten years and they still go through the same crap. Unlike Emma and Scott who for some reason seem to be an ideal shipper to Marvel (how long have they been a freaking couple?!)
The only writer who can actually write ROMY (and not make me want to pull my hair out) in Chris Claremont.

[Manic]

Sad but true. Claremont has been off his game for a full decade, but in that time, he's the only person who's written a tolerable Rogue/Gambit.

[katie_girl09]

Didn't anyone else kinda like Nicieza's treatment? What little he was able to do anyway?

[katie_girl09]

Agreed.

Hell ya i love how he wrote remy, he had something big in mind for remy in the gambit Solo book but he had to cut the story sort..

[roach]

Again, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has noticed the favouritism.

I prefer Gambit and Rogue over Cyke and Emma. Scott and Emma arent destined to be together long...cant be. Their relationship has a faulty foundation. Emma is Scott's rebound girl. You dont date your rebound girl...you use her to get your confidence up and kick her to the curb. I feel like I am watching a really long version of The Count of Monte Cristo and I keep thinking "i cant wait til Jean gets back". Scott Summers showed as much grief for his dead wife as Scott Peterson. It ticks me off that this is getting a pass and no one has brought it up other than Wolverine. The most anyone else did was Rachel changing her last name to Grey in protest.

[Canemacar]

You can definitely tell the X-office is crammed with Cyke fanboys. They're Mary Sue-ing the hell out of the character.

[roach]

I dont mind the mary-sueing but be logical with it.

[katie_girl09]

Mary-sueing is bang on.
*Gag*

[Canemacar]

I dont mind the mary-sueing but be logical with it.

Mary Sueing is, by definition, illogical. It's premise relies on the entire world revolving around one character, whether it's everyone approving of Cyke betraying Jean and making out on her grave, or Rogue absorbing 6 billion people and becoming a god.

[DJSCARLET]

I prefer Gambit and Rogue over Cyke and Emma. Scott and Emma arent destined to be together long...cant be. Their relationship has a faulty foundation. Emma is Scott's rebound girl. You dont date your rebound girl...
Much less mary her and have kids who have Gambit eyes. :whatever: Marvel is weird, they break up the two longest and strogest couples (jean x scott and peter parker and mj) just to shake up the status quo for no reason what so ever (and hating the character is not a reason).

Harsh, true though.
I just find it funny that Scott's with someone who is responsible for Jean turning into the Dark Phoenix.
As for Scott turning into mary-sue. Well, its not like Marvel never f-ed up a character for profits before.

[squeekness]

Didn't anyone else kinda like Nicieza's treatment? What little he was able to do anyway?I loved it myself. His work is the best on Gambit that I have read so far, though Gambit's second ongoing wasn't painful to read, it just wasn't what we'd been promised. It was supposed to be , "James Bond -like" and him pulling thieving jobs, but it wasn't really what we got. :(

[UraniaChang]

That is an opinion which many will disagree with you about. Rogue and Gambit will never look good you say? They already have. Back when they were placed in the hands of capable writers.


I did say "Current" Rogue and Gambit, meaning if they stay they way are portrayed right now. And I also added that they started "kind of cute".

Read the post thoroughly.

I like Xtreme Xmen for this reason. Everyone else was just happy to let Emma move in on Scott and Storm was the only one who was stand off ish with her because she remembered what she did to Kitty and her relationship

[GambitXremy]

That is still an opinion that many would disagree with you about. They, in my eyes, would be fine in the hands of a capable writer. And I bet many of the naysayers would come to love them if they did before.

[UraniaChang]

That's why I said "Current".

Get over the fact that not everyone has to love this pairing at the moment.

[katie_girl09]

That's why I said "Current".

Get over the fact that not everyone has to love this pairing at the moment.
Ummm... I never said that everyone did or has to love the pairing in the first place, did I? I merely said that if they had better writers people would not be so "anti-Romy". Such negativity. Perhaps you are the one that needs to get over the fact that not everyone hates them just because you do? I think so...

easy there ladies, can we just agree to disagree

[Canemacar]

easy there ladies, can we just agree to disagree

NEVER! Death to Romy! Death to the heretics!

*raises pitchfork*

[iamlegend]

Written correctly, ROMY could have been the most adult and realistic relationship in the entire Marvel Universe.

I mean, seriously, the X-Men writers in the early 90s really worked on ROMY -- it was driven by actual chemistry and emotion, rather than simply sex and monthly sales, like most comic book romances.

But since 1997 or so, it's been garbage. Sad that it happened, but time to move on nonetheless.

[UraniaChang]

Use your own words "That is still an opinion that many would disagree with you about." Or what? You think it only works one-way?

Besides, I never said that they won't work forever, just that the way they are protrayed right now (ie: in the hands of Carey) would never work. Though I have nothing to lose if this pairing does continue, I'll just drop Legacy, that's all.

[GambitXremy]

the remy and rogue thing hasn't work, in so long.

Rogue should just get with magneto,

Remy should just be with any gal thats around the corner

[UraniaChang]

Gambit should be the womanizer he was created to be, he's a player, let he play, not sticking with a girl who makes both of them miserable, and making him look like a guy who's only dating a girl he has reason not to touch to avoid coming out of the closet.

You don't see James Bond stick with one girl, and they are (or were) similar in a fictional-character way.

The only Romy I read these days is Katt's fanfic, now that's the relationship I can really enjoy between the two of them.

[OutcryX]

i agree with urania...gambit is a man whore....and he needs to make up for lost time

rogue can go be by herself with a vibrator..or vision...or can she absorb robots too

I don't think she can absorb robots. That's why in my fanfic I hooked her up with one of my Siskans, they are sentient solid holograms. :) They can play to their hearts' content.

you know..they already had one of those in the X-verse right? Shard, Bishop's sister, when she was brought back to life and into the 616, started off as a sentient hologram program that had Bishop's sister's personality downloaded into it...and then she later evolved into a photonic being/mutant. I miss her. she was cool

Is that Creed?

[roach]

no it was a another mutant with claws called Wild Child

[Canemacar]

Creed would snap him like a twig.

[roach]

if you look at the promo shots of Age of Apocalypse he is the other little mutant Sabretooth keeps on a chain

[UraniaChang]

Thanks, this reminds me how many more X-comics I need to buy. Was wondering how did Creed manage that kind of pose without wanting to kill himself.:woot:

Hope my bank-account can take the pressure.:csad:

[roach]

He was on the old X-Factor team when Forge and Mystique were the leaders and they were the government mutant team.

[squeekness]

He recently showed up in the employ of Romulus, Wolverine's new mysterious bad guy and nemesis. Wild Child, also known as Kyle Gibney, got a nice new upgrade in appearence. I love my ferals in black leather. Yummy --

Use your own words "That is still an opinion that many would disagree with you about." Or what? You think it only works one-way?
:huh: Now when did I ever say that you weren't allowed to like "Romy"? Where are these random accusations coming from? Lots of people don't and that's fine. I was just stating that there are also a lot who do like them. And that I am against the whole "anti-Romy" attitude that seems to be the new in thing nowadays. I personally believe that their relationship is quite salvageable. And as for Legacy, I've stopped reading already.

NEVER! Death to Romy! Death to the heretics!

WC and Sabretooth fought for hours and after Sabes won, he peed on WC to establish dominance lol

[katie_girl09]

Gambit should be the womanizer he was created to be, he's a player, let he play, not sticking with a girl who makes both of them miserable, and making him look like a guy who's only dating a girl he has reason not to touch to avoid coming out of the closet.
Hahahahahahahaaaa!
Sorry. :o

If you're that open-minded why the "It's an opinion that many will disagree with you"?. I don't care if people agree with me or not, but one thing I'm sure is that I don't care about this particular pairing at the moment, but it still doesn't really matter to me if they countinue or not.
It's not me who suffers anyway.
Everyone's opinion can be disageed with, including yours.

[squeekness]

People take their ROMY very seriously. :( I had at least three people who gushed about how great my fanfic was who abruptly stop reading when they realized that the ROMY wasn't going to happen in my particular verse. You'd think that they'd keep reading anyways and judge on my story's merits, but no, it just took all the fun out of it for them.

[UraniaChang]

See? It's not me who suffers!

[sniktsnakt]

Some people just grew up with the Romy couple being something that was a truth between the two characters. Take away Romy, and it's kinda like taking away Wolverine's claws.

It may sound a little overreacting, but I can see where they're coming from.

I'm a pro-Romy, but it still gets annoying every now and again.

[squeekness]

I disagree in that taking ROMY away isn't the same as taking Logan's claws away. Gambit is his own man and remains his own person without Rogue. In my ROMY-less fanfic, I still get great reviews from those who think I still have a wonderful Gambit even though she isn't in his bed. He isn't defined by her the same way Logan is defined by his claws. Removing her doesn't de-power Gambit in the least. :( We had no ROMY in the latest film and Gambit was still amazing all by himself. :D

Oh I agree that it's not the same as taking WV's claws away, but I know some people who feel that Rogue and Gambit belong together, and if you separate them it destroys part of who they are. They grew up with Gambit and Rogue a "couple-that's-not-a-couple" (or whatever they were), and so that's what they expect and see when they see them.

I don't think that either of their characters should be overly dependent on their relationship, myself. Gambit is my second favorite character no matter who he's around, and Rogue is great on her own too when she's not being too angsty.

That attitude is precisely whats caused so much crap for the two in the last decade. No writer wants to do anymore Romy because it sucks, but romy is all Gambit and rogue are good for in the minds of most people, therefore no one wants to use Gambit and Rogue for anything. Gambit moreso than Rogue.

[GambitXremy]

some writers just dont want to touch the 90's there in love with the late 80's right now

[UraniaChang]

Kinda like you can't seperate Juliet from Romeo?

[Manic]

Juliet and Romeo would've lived past 16 if they had slowed it down for about 5 minutes. Half a week, those two knew each other.

[Canemacar]

Juliet and Romeo would've lived past 16 if they had slowed it down for about 5 minutes. Half a week, those two knew each other.

The most ironic thing about Romeo and juliette is that the play isn't this magical greatest love story of all time people seem to think it is. It's about two stupid kids who decide they're in true love after knowing each other a week and go on to be huge drama queens about it. It's basically a high school crush blown way out of proportion.

[The Mighty Thor]

I liked ROMY back when it was genuinely entertaining to read, before it degenerated into constant whining that emasculates Gambit and makes Rogue seem like a complete loser. :down:

Thank you! I can't stand it when people talk about Romeo & Juliet like they were the greatest couple in fiction. There's a damn good reason that particular Shakespeare play is a tragedy instead of a comedy/romance.

Beatrice/Benedick from Much Ado About Nothing is my favorite Shakespearean couple, though they're hardly appropriate for a Rogue/Gambit discussion. Who's a good example of an insane chick from a Shakespeare play that some dude is relentlessly trying to get with? Kate from The Taming of the Shrew?

[squeekness]

10 Things I hate about you, with Heath Ledger. It's a very good modern interpretation of Taming of the Shrew. :)

[Manic]

So you're saying Gambit is Heath Ledger, and Rogue is Julia Stiles?

[squeekness]

LOL, something like that yes. :) It was a great film. :D

Umm...but it's inevitable since Romeo and Juliet is the most popular western fictional couple (in East). Even though I never quite like them.

[mightiest_mortal]

Rogue and Gambit are a terrible terrible couple. A terrible terrible terrible couple. I can't say I've liked either of them for a long time (and Rogue used to be my favourite character).
I've been watching the cartoons again on DVD and it reminded me why I loved the characters back in the 90s. Gambit was cool back then and suave, and Rogue... she was actually fun and interesting. Being in a couple just makes the both of them so depressing... I don't know if theyre even salvageable anymore.

[katie_girl09]

But again, that is the fault of the writers - not the coupling.

[squeekness]

I'm not convinced it is salvagable either. :(

[sniktsnakt]

But at least you're not convinced it's not salvagable, so there's still hope. :up: ;)

[roach]

I think if they are written as two people and not Remy/Rogue they will be fine

[sniktsnakt]

I think if they are written as two people and not Remy/Rogue they will be fine

You just hit the nail on the head. Their co-dependence and slinking around each other liked kicked dogs begging for love is what drives me crazy. Rogue used to be crazy-independent and with a 'tude, and Gambit used to be an independent rogue (ha!) scoundrel. Keep that together in their own separate characters, and it *could* work.

I'm waiting for some resolution with Rogue's character, in this series, though. Ever since she lost Ms. Marvel's powers she's been kinda "meh" for me.

And Gambit deserves some time in the spotlight for once. He has been far too abused these last many years.

We should start an online mob . . . oh, wait. We already have. :)

[roach]

yeah somehow Rogue needs to get back her Ms Marvel powers

[sniktsnakt]

yeah somehow Rogue needs to get back her Ms Marvel powers

I don't see any way that that would happen, though, unless Ms. Marvel went rogue (ha!) or something.

(Wow, I am having way too much pun-fun over here).

[roach]

i think I liked her when she could call upon alll the powers she ever absorbed.

[sniktsnakt]

i think I liked her when she could call upon alll the powers she ever absorbed.

I thought it was nifty, but it was a little out-of-control, too. How could you find a challenging villain with a combination of all those powers? Besides, it was a bit like Mimic.

Well, no chance of that happening now that she's been wiped clean or whatever by Hope.

[roach]

yeah well maybe Hope gave her back the Ms Marvel powers
The best way to write Gambit is to write him if he was Sawyer from Lost
I know a book that has Rogue and Gambit as they should be...XMEN FOREVER

[Canemacar]

Legacy came out today so here's a quick rundown. Spoilers ahoy!

Continuing from the cliff-hanger of last issue, we see Rogue has hi-jacked the Shiar-ship. This pisses tick-man off who attacks the ship but gets blasted. Shiar lady breaks into the ship and beats Rogue like a red-headed step-child.

Danger's story resolution gets crammed into a few quick lines. The decompression from earlier really hurts the story here. Basically, she agrees Xavier did what he could and isn't pissed anymore.

Danger and Xavier work on Rogue's mind,kicking out the Mystique echo, and fixing her power problem. A bit let she kisses Gambit to test them.

No definite status on romy. Carey let it in a "maybe" state.

Gambit does nothing but hover over Rouge, asking if she's okay. Story wouldn't have changed without him.

[OutcryX]

sooo.....then she can finally control her powers now? i wonder who carey had to blow in order to finally get that done? does this mean...NO MORE ANGST!?!?!

[Canemacar]

sooo.....then she can finally control her powers now? i wonder who carey had to blow in order to finally get that done? does this mean...NO MORE ANGST!?!?!

Don't be silly. Rogue is angst incarnate. This just means we get new angst for a couple years before the next writer regresses her and goes back to old "can't touch" angst.

[Manic]

sooo.....then she can finally control her powers now? i wonder who carey had to blow in order to finally get that done?
Nick Lowe and Axel Alonso

[javi1024]

well i just hope this means we can finally get the "happy-go-lucky but don't screw with me cuz i will kick your ass" Rogue i miss from the 90s. i'll worry about the Ms. Marvel powers later.

[katie_girl09]

Beatrice/Benedick from Much Ado About Nothing is my favorite Shakespearean couple...
Oh, I LOVE those two. They develop on each other's conceits beautifully!
...
Sorry. I'm just a huge Shakespeare geek. :o

[sniktsnakt]

Rogue can control her powers?

FINALLY!

[Andreth]

woah, is this finally happening?
:wow:

that kiss looked so sweet :p
I thought the artwork released was just to fool us but it hapened

[squeekness]

Well, I got what I expected - the lamest Gambit yet. Mooning over Rogue, wordlessly forgiving her for leaving him behind yet again (the whole Horseman thing where she never checked to see if he was okay....) He's watching over her, making sure she is all okay after her transformation. Where was she for him when he went through not one but TWO transformations -- Death and back again? I ask it again -- WHERE WAS SHE FOR HIM? All this did was make me hate Rogue even more than I did before. I think Carey took away Gambit's balls and brass and someone else needs to write him for a change. That whole ending made me want to puke. :mad:


:(

[GambitXremy]

It was rogues happy ending kinda. i'm just glad we have one more issue left then Prof. X story line is over

[katie_girl09]

Jeez, Squeek. Maybe you need to breathe through a paper bag? :p

[squeekness]

Why? Because I point out the obvious? This is not a healthy relationship and nothing any sensible man should aspire to. :(

[katie_girl09]

No. Because you're getting so worked up on numerous boards about an imaginary couple who are not autonomous but are written by others.

[squeekness]

They are still role models, no? I hope Marvel isn't trying to promte this as anything resembling healthy. Kids had best not think this is the way love should be conducted. Where is the mutal respect and efforts on BOTH sides to make things work? Marriages won't last with the guy taking the brunt of an over reactive female all the time. My sister is proof of this, she's such a drama queen and so much like Rogue. She's burned her way through two husbands already and is now working on her third.

[katie_girl09]

Whoa. Okay, you are taking this way too seriously. They are comic book characters. Just like all characters, their various relationships with one another are gonna be flawed sometimes. You can't expect them to depict perfect relationships.

[squeekness]

And all the little girlies who find something in Rogue to admire may be admiring the wrong things. "I wish I had a little Gambit of my own to trample over." Geez. What is so great about ROMY when it is all about Rogue and not the other half? I don't like to see my guy so misused and putting up with it. I wouldn't be a proper Gambit fan if I did. :( I wouldn't want to see my kid in a relationship so one sided, either. Perhaps it is just the parent in me. I consider Gambit one of my own and I don't like him being so mistreated without anyone having a say about it.

[roach]

Really??? I don't think anyone should use any of the Xmen as role models for relationships. The last normal relationship in the xbooks was Warren and Betsy

[katie_girl09]

No offense, but I think that if a girl in this day and age does something just because she sees it in a comic book/on TV, etc., she probably ain't all that bright to begin with.
And your saying that "Romy" is all about Rogue is one-sided. Rogue fans claimed for a while that it was all about Gambit! Check out Rogue's first limited series if you don't believe it.
I just believe that this is the fault of the writers, not the couple.

[katie_girl09]

qft!

I agree squeekness, to me this issue was one of the worst ones yet. I hope he keeps his word this time and Gambit gets more character development because I really think he got nothing character wise this time.

I agree squeekness, to me this issue was one of the worst ones yet. I hope he keeps his word this time and Gambit gets more character development because I really think he got nothing character wise this time.If I am well supplied with barf bags, I could probably at least tolerate this pairing for a while longer if, like you say, Carey honors his word and gives us some real meat with Gambit. I am going in with a really low expectation so maybe I will be happily surprised. Perhaps Gambit may actually get the apology he so richly deserves. Until then, I will stick to fanfics where people actually know how to write the character that I love.

[katie_girl09]

Well, don't hold your breath. Carey just loves Rogue way too much for me to see that happening, personally. :( Bring on the barf bags! :p

I've stuck through a lot of bad stuff in the last few years. I've been keeping an eye on the book since Blood of the Apocalypse. And I think I've finally had enough. Rogue 24/7 doesn't interest me, and i'm tired of giving Carey chances to impress me.

Hey Cane, I agree 100%. It looks like I am officially done with Legacy as well.

[Canemacar]

X-men Forever's whats most interesting me at the moment. Claremont may not be as good as he once was, but he's better than some of the writers they have right now. Fraction especially.

[roach]

I think what has me excited about Forever right now is that this is no strings attached X-men. Sure anyone could die in the main books but you know it aint going to be Wolverine or any of the faves. In this new series anything will and can happen.

X-men Forever's whats most interesting me at the moment. Claremont may not be as good as he once was, but he's better than some of the writers they have right now. Fraction especially.

After I listened to Claremont's podcast the other day I am starting to think the same thing. It could be interesting to see where he takes Gambit and the changes he makes to Gambits character.

[Canemacar]

Forever has already sold me based on two things:

1: Wolverine dies, for real, in the first two issues.

2: No Gambit/Rogue romance. It never happened in the first place.

I didn't know he was on Facebook until I read it on a few other sites. From what been said there are quite few fans on it and occasionally he will answer questions.

[DJSCARLET]

No, not really.
I mean, some characters always play second fiddle while certain characters always have the spotlight. And it's always the same character(s).

[Manic]

Yeah, but this is different. Over in Uncanny X-Men, Colossus and Pixie had maybe 3 issue each to focus on them, while Fraction tried to maintain a team-like atmosphere. Carey is writing a solo ongoing series under the guise of a team book.

[GambitXremy]

But carey did state in a interview that the book would turn into a team book after whatever he wants to do with rouge,


I'm glad something was finally done with rogues powers

[Canemacar]

No, not really.
I mean, some characters always play second fiddle while certain characters always have the spotlight. And it's always the same character(s).

This isn't a "some characters being a bit more in the spotlight for a few issues" situation Carey's brewing up. It's an "all-Rogue, all-the-time, no one else" situation. Even Wolverine never hogged THAT much panel time.

But carey did state in a interview that the book would turn into a team book after whatever he wants to do with rouge

I know! Carey needs an intervention. :p Maybe if he gets over it he'll have Remy get over her too.

Well, honestly, I'm still a Romy fan when theyre written right...

but yeah, I think we'd have to pry Rogue out of Carey's cold dead hands (and gambit's stuck because of it, hrmm)

[Harlekin]

This is the first Carey has written Rogue in almost a year. I don't get this all this criticism anyway, since every X-Writer has his pet character.

And yet most of them don't turn flagship books into obsession-driven stories about their favorite characters.

with so many characters just sitting around doing nothing, it seems like a waste to focus one of the core team books on 1 character

[Harlekin]

I'd rather get a character get some development, rather than have to juggle all the time. Besides, there is Astonishing X-Men and Uncanny X-Men for team-stuff, along with X-Force and X-Factor. That's enough characters getting the spotlight. Besides, it's not like Xavier and Rogue are in a vacuum, we've seen enough characters appear.

Also, yes, Rogue got quite a bit of focus in his X-Men run, but so did Iceman and Cannonball.

Now that Rogue has complete control of her powers they should completely reverse the romy dynamic... so that Gambits powers are accelerated to the point where he cant touch anything or anyone through skin to skin contact or they suddenly charge with kinetic energy and blow up :)

Uncanny and Astonishing are basically the same team, and Astonishing comes out so sparingly and is so irrelevant to the rest of the X-universe that you can hardly count it. X-Factor isn't X-Men, i think Peter David and Jamie Madrox have made that abundantly clear, and not everyone likes to read X-Force full of people who hack and slash more than Kratos.

[Harlekin]

X-Factor may not be X-Men but features X-characters. And I get that not everybody wants to read X-Force, heck, that applies to me as well, but doesn't this count for Legacy too? Different tastes for different people. You've got a team book (Uncanny).

They're all supposed to be team books! Otherwise they'd call it a solo series! Hell, Rogue had one back in the day.

well for me if there are going to be all these xteam books then there should be a reason they exist other than because people buy them. When the xmen shifted to blue and gold teams and the different teams were in each book that made sense. Right now there is no difference between Astonishing and Uncanny.
