Sequels What would you prefer: Emma Frost Or Gambit Movie

[ardnealy]

Would you rather see a Gambit Or Emma Frost movie? They both werent featured in any of the X-Men movies but Emma Frost is still getting a spinoff movie. I personally want a Gambit movie.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Neither.

Spinoffs shouldn't happen at all, let alone for a character that never appeared in the movies.

I would like to see a Gambit movie cuz hes my favorite of the X-Men

 

[snuunuu]

Well, comic wise, an Emma Frost movie. She's more important pretty much in every aspect and more interesting as well (well, for me at least). I'm just amazed why they didn't introduce her in the first three movies. :\

A Gambit movie would be more succesful, though. He's more widely known and even if he's not that important, he is more popular (at least amongst the general audience, who necessarily haven't read the comics all that much). The Emma movie will most likely flop if they decide to go through with it.

Neither of the characters actually deserve a movie of their own. Nor can they actually support a movie all by themselves, they need other characters around them (especially Emma, she just doesn't work by herself). As big of an Emma fan as I am, I'm not too sure if I want to see her in her own movie. I'd much prefer her to appear in X4 (if they make it).

That doesn't make any sense. Both characters have had plenty of Non X-Related storylines. It'd be no different than making a movie about Daredevil.

gambit can definately hold his own in a movie... he has almost as big of a story before joining xmen than wolverine

Both characters CAN support a movie on their own. What makes you believe otherwise? Anyone can have a movie made around some story in their lives. I mean, look at any movie out there now. Most of them are made around characters infinitely less complex / interesting than Gambit or Emma. All you have to do is look at either of them from a perspective that doesn't directly include the X-Men, so the characters in question can take center stage.

Gambit belongs to a thieves guild that is permanently at war with an assassins' guild. He freelances his skills for shody characters like Sinister (and plenty of others) and has a lot of crap happen to him, emotionally and otherwise. During the course of his undoubtedly exciting jobs, he also manages to get morlocks butchered and get himself forced into marrying a daughter of the rival guild. Remember the movie Ronin, with De Niro? Even something like that could be done around Gambit.

Regarding Emma, same principle applies. She's a powerful telepath from the start, who knows prof-x. She's involved with the Hellfire club, its inner circle and all its political plays, and the management of a team of mutants, not unlike the x-men in terms of structure, who act to forward the club's interests. They made movies about Blade. Blade just kills vampires. Emma does/can do a whole lot more.

As long as the movies are well done and portray the characters and their lives in a believable and entrancing way, I'm ok with them doing as many spinoffs as they want.

I'd love to see both but I'd like a Gambit movie more.. I hate that he wasn't involved in any of the x-men movies.

 

[Feyd Rautha]

They both should be in X-Men movies instead. Then if they have a big following...give them a solo-movie.

Agreed.

 

[skorponok]

a Gambit film would be a better investment for reasons stated

Agreed with this. Firstly in the xmovies, then whatever they want to do...

And between the two, I'm more interested in Gambit. I want to see him soon on the big screen.

 

[phoenix_force]

depends what emma wears in the movie hehehe

 

[BloodyWolverine]

They should just be put in and X-4 movie as new group of x-men. Lead by Storm, Wolverine and a returning Xavier when he is needed the most.
This is just my opinion. I just don't think you can have an x-men movie without Jackman, Stewart or McKellen.

Well this will be my last post for about a week or so in this forum for i am having Gal Bladder surgery. I only wish i did have my name sakes mutant powers.

 

[ardnealy]

I would like it even more if Gambit had a direct to DVD movie like Marvel did for The Avengers. With great animation of course.

 

[jmao]

i think a gambit movie would do well if they never mentioned anything about xmen...

 

[Lil_Flip246]

NONE. I don't understand both of them's appeal. Gambit is this annoying dude with an anoying prescence. And Emma is just a ****.

 

[cardslinger]

Niether because not only do they not need spinoffs but Fox would f**k up the movies anyway.

You are probably right. Gambit would probably be portrayed how all the Gambit Haters view him. A Gambit movie could work if they got Fabian Nicieza to write the script. Or at least someone who has read Gambit's first ongoing series. That is how Gambit should be handled.

 

[Decay]

I love both characters but Gmabit is more charming and plus that whole Rogue/Gambit thing is kinda cute. I'd love to see that in the movies.

 

[Wynne]

I don't like either character, but I'd rather see Gambit.

 

[-WildCard-]

It really does not make sense for them to have a Spin-off since there was nothing for them to spin-off of. If I had to choose i would choose Emma, just because the fanboy cry babies shouldnt get what they want just because they want it.

Oh, that makes sence. "You can't have the Gambit movie because you want it."
Do you seriously believe that Emma Frost can carry her own movie better than Gambit? I guess everyone is entitled to their own oppinion.
I do agree with you on the part about having nothing to spin-off of. I think they should introduce them in the X-Men movies first. Then they should think about their spin-offs.

 

[pyro9vivacita]

I think both of these movies could do well for a spinoff. With the Emma Frost movie I can see them not going by the comics more than the Gambit movie. Like maybe they would give Emma better fighting skills or something. But I like the idea of a Emma Frost movie

 

[Mary]

I want to see a Gambit movie. But i'd like to see a Rogue one...because we'd see the real Rogue and Gambit as well.

 

[Mrh7448]

How can you have a spin off for a character that never appeared in the movie? It's stupid...

Gambit would be the better choice for his own movie though.

But both these characters should have been introduced in the X-men movies to entitle the to spin offs.
