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.
That’s sort of what they did in the hideout scene, everybody else can understand gambit except Deadpool.
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.
Isn’t that basically Boomhauer on King of the Hill?
Isn’t that basically Kenny on South Park?
Wait, you can’t understand Boomhauer?
Understand him? I know that guy. He’s my buddy.

I can understand him now, but when I was younger, I didn’t pay that much attention and just thought he was speaking gibberish.
Yes, which I suppose makes Dale Gribble Nightcrawler (pocket sand!) and Hank would be Beast.
I AM GROOT
can’t NEVER
So that character can sometimes understand him?
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.
Didn’t someone else play Gambit in one of the first few modern Marvel movies? Or did I remember that wrong?
Yea, this guy:
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.
Super fair point, you’re right that his character would likely be written differently in a more serious story.
Taylor Kitsch. He did a good job with not much time.
Yeah, I’d much rather see Taylor K make another appearance as Gambit.
I definetly thought he was better as an actual character. Tatum felt more like a one off joke than something to take seriously.
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.
We don’t talk about that movie, but yes.
I think the comments in the article are spot on.
Well me too. Channing tateyum
