Description

Welcome back to my favourite couples in comics feature . Today is one of the most controversial relationships, a pairing accused of ruining both characters (especially the female part of it) and that in nowadays mainstream Marvel is completely impractical (Like I care what THEY think, with all the stuff they fucked up ... Pfeh !)

BUT WE're in MY OPINIONATED World now ! SO I finally made my opinion about these two after reading about both. They click right in what I accepted ! No seriously, I said it already here [link] The cartoon is the way I'll either illustrate or draw them when together . I mean this , of all pairings, this one must be the funniest (in a good way...). He should always be flirting and being suave to every female in the mansion, pissing Rogue off, but in a comical way. Then, every ONCE in a while, you show that the scoundrel has a heart. Maybe he'll finally say just the right words that really make Rogue melt. He'd be so suave about it that she'd blush, but she'd still keep her guard up (mostly because she knows him well ). And of course, he'll be charming some other girl the very next day (for fun and kicks , that's all... ) . ;)
When writers overdo the angst , they don't get any of them at all ! The thing is Jean & Scott are normal people who have epicly crazy adventures together, Remy & Anna-Marie are 2 outlaws who started by a flirt, then matured .
Think about it, they were both criminals, even though there were differences . Rogue was a rebellious child and at some point, the exact event or reasons still unclear, she ran away from her aunt as a young teenager. This also prompted the nickname "Rogue". Not long after, she was approached by Mystique, who sought her out on the advice of her precognitive partner Destiny. Mystique ultimately takes Rogue in as a daughter. Then the Cody accident happened & the rest is history (or whatever I accept of it xD )
While she squit all her terrorist activities , she still has all the skills she learnt from Mystique (Let me tell that next time I make them meet each other, Blood will run !)

Now to Remy 's case : Rémy LeBeau was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was kidnapped from the hospital where he was born ( and NO you don't say who his real parents are because I don't fuckin wanna know ! Besides I wouldn't even acknowledge it ), then raised by the LeBeau Clan Thieves' Guild, and given to the Antiquary as a tribute.

They referred to the child as "Le Diable Blanc" and believed he was prophesied to unite the warring Thieves' and Assassins' Guilds. Soon after, Rémy was placed in the care of Fagan's Mob, a gang of street thieves who raised the child and taught him the ways of thievery. After living as an orphan on the streets, a 10-year-old Rémy attempted to pick the pocket of Jean-Luc LeBeau, then patriarch of the Thieves' Guild. Jean-Luc took the boy off the streets and adopted him into his own family.
Then the marriage with Bella that went bad because of his brother in law & the deal with Dr Mengele.. Err ... I mean Mr Sinister .... One thing that I want to show properly is that while he is a pretty cool guy that has a lot of qualities , Gambit is a thief & a talented one at that .
Also , where Rogue avoids killing ; he doesn't mind getting rid of his foes or doesn't care about their safety.
All in all here, I better warn ya , If you're a Rogue fan that hates Remy or vice-versa, don't bother complaining because I love them written the way described here.

I know the Trial of Gambit isn't very popular among X-Men fans, but that revelation actually clicked right for me , well at least the crime he had to commit. I love Sinister, and the fact that Gambit was indebted to him & had to assemble a team that would slaughter the Morlocks and commit one of the most atrocious acts ever in the X-Men comics says something. We knew Gambit was a shady character, but we didn't know just how low he had sunk.
However the ending was low, (they should have let Nicieza write it I tell ya ! ). Personnally , rather than making Magneto into Erik The red (who the fuck thought it was a good idea ! Joseph was supposed to be the real deal ! Idiots...), I would have made Psylocke start telling what she saw in Remy's mind, & then while the x-men make a deliberation whether he stays or not, Gambit would go away unnoticed for a while (to his solo ongoing ) like Batman did in JLA: Tower of Babel (I'll be happy to explain the similarities )

A little trivia , the chibis were inspired by Pepe LePew & Daffy Duck (no kiddin' ) & I had lots of fun drawing them that way , & this is brought to you by the theme song I chose [link] , Don't ask , my brain links both !

I hope I improved in my drawing of both Remy Etienne LeBeau & Anna-Marie ??? (well she doesn't have a surname !)

You should write a Rogue/Gambit mini for Marvel. I imagine it would be very good.
