Comics Official X-MEN: LEGACY Discussion Thread

[Havok83]

yawn what a boring issue. Im sick of Rogue and her excellent adventure. This story really should have only lasted 2 issues, the annual and Legacy 228. It feels as if its dragging and we still have another issue to go

 

[squeekness]

I was disappointed in the Gambit bits. (See the Gambit thread). So confusing....

 

[javi1024]

it looked like his kinetic cards turned into death cards. kinda cool....i guess.

 

[Mystic]

Wow. This is disappointing. I just found out that Gambit is only in about 3 pages in X-Men Legacy #229. They might as well have just put Rogue on the front cover! It doesn't look like Gambit gets to do much at all

To be honest, I would like to see somebody else write X-Men Legacy for a while. Carey obviously likes Rogue a lot but I think Havok is right. This story arc is just dragging on and on. We need something different for a change!

 

[chamber-music]

I totally forgot about Jamie Braddock. That mofo is the Daffy Duck of the MU

Crazy dude running around in is underwear!

LOL, Daken is one of my faves. I love watching him stir up trouble. He's so nasty.

I feel the same way his enjoyable because he revels in messing with people and he has enough awareness to realise his jackass and he doesn't care about it.

I like the fact he messes with regular people for fun as well not just superheroes t:

Yeah, looks like Legacy is the Rogue show now. *sigh*

I'm kinda surprised marvel didn't take this moment to have Rogue latch onto and permenently take an asgardians powerset,...

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I doubt it'll be Rogue-centric after this arc. Put the pitchforks down people

Really? She's the writer's favorite character.

 

[UraniaChang]

Ummm...*note to myself*

*scratch Legacy from my to-buy list*

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Really? She's the writer's favorite character.

Yeah, and the book hasn't been all about Rogue in forever. We have no reason to believe it'll go back to that. The solicits for Jan and Feb don't make it seem that way

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Psylocke and Nightcrawler are gonna be in Legacy in the coming months. That's enough to keep me reading. As long as Carey doesn't screw 'em up.

 

[OutcryX]

because he certainly made Gambit likable again....

 

[Havok83]

His Psylocke should be intersting bc apparently he loves her. He wanted her back when he first started writing but Marvel wouldnt let himbc CC had a lock on her.

 

[squeekness]

So we go from the Rogue show to the Psylocke show? Awesome.

 

[BoredGuy]

^^That'd be a nice change!...for a while at least...

I feel like Rogue's not exactly getting sidelined... she's just being paired with ANOTHER of Carey's little obsessions.

I'm near the point of just wanting Gambit's character to be killed off so I can abandon the X-Verse entirely.

 

[katie_girl09]

^I know, eh? I actually wouldn't mind it if they killed him off and someone who actually understood and cared about the character resurrected him later on. If Gambit were killed off, I can honestly say that I too would freely not care about the X-universe anymore. There's nothing else there to make me stay. The writing is so terrible.

 

[OutcryX]

X-Men; Legacy aka Rogue and her amazing friends!

Remember when people liked Carey? I think we still would if he hadn't been given free reign to mary sue up Rogue and stuck to his fan-fic-ous team lineups...but he is sorta doing that again with all the random x-kids that nobody gives a **** about popping up...bout time he got some actual X-men to play with...

Blasphamy!

 

[iamlegend]

Blasphamy!

Hahaha c'mon now... you know that I'm one of the top three most ardent Gambit supporters here (the other two being you and Canemacar, who has sadly disappeared)... but I just don't know how much longer I can handle the sheer garbage they're putting the character through.

If the character didn't exist, I'd abandon everything X-Related and not look back until there were severe changes in the X-Staff hierarchy... which is probably years down the road. And I wouldn't miss it.

 

[squeekness]

I get ya, but killing him off seems a bit... extreme. All he needs is just a little good lovin' from a writer who actually cares.

 

[Mystic]

X-Men; Legacy aka Rogue and her amazing friends

I know I don't really like X-Men Legacy atm (mainly because of what they're doing to our beloved Gambit!) but that cracked me up. I needed a good laugh. Thanks!

I totally agree with Squeeks.....again. We just need a writer who actually likes Gambit's character. Right now, I just feel as if he's in it because he has to be. He's following Rogue around and as we saw in #229, he seems a little protective over her now she's gained control of her powers. Now that's just not like Gambit. That's just my opinion though.

 

[OutcryX]

Gambit, much like Cable and Bishop..well moreso Cable than Bishop. seeing as they have very effectively and seemingly permanently ruined his character to tell a subpar story..are 90s creations that won't go away..actually I think Gambit was in the late 80s.

But he has proven himself to be quite popular and mentioned more than many an X-Men mainstay..like Colossus and Nightcrawler and Shadowcat(may she stay 'gone')....perhaps when we get into the 20teen(2010,2011, etc) we will see a resurgance of 90s characters much like we are the 80s characters now...the friggin New Mutants (ALL of them) Dazzler, Longshot, the characters in Necrosha..the 80s are back!

So i am thinking it will happen to the 90s characters at some point..Gambit WILL have his day again...hopefully with a better designed costume and more offensive weapons than a deck of playing cards.

 

[Havok83]

no you were right the first time, Gambit came in the 90s.
