If they go forward with this, for the entire movie all of Gambit's dialogue should be subtitled and none of it audibly intelligible. All characters interacting with Gambit should understand him clearly except for one secondary character that can't NEVER understand Gambit is saying and this character doesn't understand how everyone else can understand Gambit so clearly all the time.

Isn't that basically Boomhauer on King of the Hill?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Wait, you can’t understand Boomhauer?

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

I can understand him now, but when I was younger, I didn't pay that much attention and just thought he was speaking gibberish.

Understand him? I know that guy. He's my buddy.

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes, which I suppose makes Dale Gribble Nightcrawler (pocket sand!) and Hank would be Beast.

Isn't that basically Kenny on South Park?

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

They should have subtitles.

And when the conversation really gets going the subtitles should just break off completely, "I think he said he agrees.", "Huh?", "No, I have no idea either.", " Listen I've been half guessing for a while now, I just got this job to help out with bills, this can't be a real language.", "Oh my god this idiot is still babbling", and after a while Gambit's eyes look down a bit, he slows down talking, while the subtitles are still insulting him, and finally cards the off the side of the screen, and you hear a brief scream.

That's sort of what they did in the hideout scene, everybody else can understand gambit except Deadpool.

can't NEVER

So that character can sometimes understand him?

[–] Wrench@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Huh. I thought it was a fun cameo because of how badly he did, but in a fun way. Like, he butchered gambit.

But still, Channing Tatum is always fun to see, so fuck it.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Didn’t someone else play Gambit in one of the first few modern Marvel movies? Or did I remember that wrong?

Taylor Kitsch. He did a good job with not much time.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, I’d much rather see Taylor K make another appearance as Gambit.

[–] hazeebabee@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I definetly thought he was better as an actual character. Tatum felt more like a one off joke than something to take seriously.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Tatum's face looks like a videogame character. every time I see him it feels like old CGI I don't know why. it's like his skin doesn't have pores or subsurface scattering.

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think you are forgetting that this was a deadpool movie, so every character feels light hearted. In an actual movie with real story, I think Tatum would nail it.

[–] hazeebabee@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

Super fair point, you're right that his character would likely be written differently in a more serious story.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

I liked him in A Princess of Mars (or as Disney botched it- John Carter)

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

We don't talk about that movie, but yes.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

He was great as fan service and a joke for the one movie. If he does come back I’d rather see him play a more serious (and understandable) Gambit.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The classic costume is not a good look for his face either.

That said, I did appreciate his cards obliterating ribcages instead of just knocking people down, that was neat.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah I don’t know how to make that headpiece look good in live action on anyone, really. His and Jean Grey’s head pieces are so weird.

I say, keep Tatum, keep the action parts, modify the costume, write him more seriously.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 5 points 1 month ago

I think the comments in the article are spot on.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Every time I hear the name Channing Tater I think of potatoes and I don't know why

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

Well me too. Channing tateyum
