Gambit: King of Thieves Appreciation 2024

[From The Shadows]

Will see. Storm even had no reaction about his death what is lame. I didn`t expect to see her reaction because they shared no lines in 97 but it is still bad.

Yeah, wait is basically all we can do. Storm's lack of response was indeed disappointing. But maybe after she gets over all she's been through (she has had a lot on her plate) We will see a reaction later.

"When I checked a couple days ago, Gambit had sixty, SIXTY, unique t-shirts designs at Hot Topic.

His time is now."

When asked if she is doing this on basis.

"No, but I had looked a couple months ago for reasons. This was like a sudden explosion of popularity!

Thanks, 97!"

I would like to believe she does it on a basis =)

Believe when I see it. LOL. I'm in hope, and that has not happened in a long time. Write well.

Wait. Does this mean my wardrobe can solely consist of Hot Topic Gambit t-shirts? LMAO

I bought a Wolverine shirt on Hot Topic the other day for myself, and a Gambit tank top for my youngest brother. Who kind of looks like Gambit, if he was more jacked I suppose. With some tats.

I am contemplating it as a valid life choice.

I saw a lot of shirts pop up after episode 5. I'm not a graphic tee person myself. I don't like wearing charactors on my clothes. I saw this one and couldn't decide if it was really bad or Im the problem here

I hope it was clear that it was just sarcasm? I'm just sick of people on the internet saying that Gambit has a bad/stupid/ridiculous design, the design has remained almost unchanged for 30+ years, I guess Papa Jim knew what he was doing when he designed Gambit. It's especially funny for me to see how these bad/stupid/ridiculous design ideas from 30 years ago are used by modern artists

It seems the vast majority of super hero costumes, including the often more "semi-realistic" new ones still tend to carry elements which either date back to the days of the early modern versions, which often took inspiration from circus, athletic or stage performers or the various classic historic inspiration.

Take Superman, the defacto modern super hero, for example. There are elements of acrobts (the striking blue full body suit), strongman and wrestlers (different colored boots and the "underpants on the outside"), swashbuckling adventures (the cape) and medieval knights (the chest insignia).

His prototype design even included laced sandals instead of boots to evoke visual elements of the ancient greek heros like Herakles (compare the original Flash who would take inspiration from Hermes).

Combined these elements, not only on Superman but his various contemporaries including Captain America and Narmor, should have also be seen as ridiculous or silly and yet they not only worked for the audience at the time, but became enduring defacto visual elements of all super heros that followed them.

Meanwhile various attempts at making entirely "modern" or "fully realistic" super hero outfits tend to fall flat, because of not fullfilling the expectation of the viewers, or only manage to stick out when they retain striking visual key elements that don't make them all that different from the costumes anyway (see the Runaways).

I...don't think it's you. Or else I have a problem, too.

I do wear a lot of graphic tees. I have an embarrassing number of X-Men tees. And I can't stop laughing at that shirt.

The teeny, tiny little chest on your chest! It would be hilarious!
