How would you think Gambit's kinetic charge should look without looking too,..abstract?..
I think one of the most realistic ways of making it look is to make whatever he's charging up to appear to be covered with a transparent swirling aurora or mist (similar to liquid nitrogen). If not, then think about what happens to air when gas is being evaporated (something like the haze you see around the hood of your car on a hot day). While this is happening, there should be an ascending sizzling sound (i.e., lighting a fuse), and when an object is about to explode, or like if Gambit’s throwing an object, a super-fast small flash of bright white light should crackle around the object, followed by an explosion.
That's one way to look at it realistically, because its pretty likely that it wont look like some flaming purple or pink glow, but how a potential explosive reaction would look like.
But wait TNC, aren't Cyclops' blasts red in the movie like in the comics? Why should Gambit's kinetic energy be any different? Well, we've seen Gambit's colorful kinetic energy change throughout the series...It's been red, purple, yellow, orange,..whatever..On that, I was thinking since there hasn't been much of a real consistency between the look, unlike Cyclops, it won't be too much of a translation stretch if the movie portrayed them as having a more realistic look (also, we have scientific references for what a potential explosion looks like, but nothing for an optic blast other than the comics themselves.
). After all, even though Cyclops' beams were totally bright red in the comics, they were slightly altered a bit to give them a more natural, untamed look..
I dunno..It could be really cool...
Should there be a change or not?
Here's another good idea that I'm having. Watch this video:
Now, imagine that the lighter is Gambit's fingers/hands and above that, he's holding a card. I would also like something like that, but right before a real flame is generated (like at 00:08), the object should stay in a perpetual state of ignition, as to represent kinetic energy being stored until Gambit sets it to evaporate the energy as a gas or to let it ignite, exploding the object. I like the idea of having it a natural colorless flame or orange or red, but maybe the SFX can add in a small hint of purple as to not confuse the viewers thinking he's like Pyro.

They could get rid of that aspect, and just have him pick up a random card at some point and charge it just as a nod to the fans. Besides, maybe cartoon Gambit could simply dose the charge within the cards. Sometimes there was a simple boom, other times there was a BIG boom.
