[QUOTE=bigstupidjellyfish;5580753]Or they can get divorced and I, a real life person who actually cares about Gambit being written well and not as wallpaper for whatever Rogue does, can be happy.
I’ve been saying it since the Thompson days, but if you want Gambit to go back to being written well and like he matters, then the relationship has to end.[/QUOTE]
I think the main issue is writers write Gambit as Rogue’s companion rather than a completion of her. Sometimes he feels like her pet while she’s off going on adventures and going to X-men etc etc he always feels like the one left behind or expendable.
One thing I don’t like is I always felt the wedding was thrown in as a counter to DC marrying Batman and Catwoman ( which I don’t like they did either) so it never felt like they married them with a plan for them they just did it for the storyline and moved on.

Hopefully as a juror. Bring the guillotine.

Lol. I was hoping they would call back to Trial of Gambit and have him do something like a moderator or someone who made it happen.

AIPT: Speaking of X-Couples, X-Fan Kristen said Gambit and Rogue have been side by side since their wedding. Now, they’ll be transitioning into having an extreme work life/home life shift to the point they largely will not be living together. How did the decision play out to put them in different books? And similarly, X-Fan Scott Evans asked if the X-Men Election caused Tini Howard to have to change her plans for Excalibur.
Jordan: It wasn’t a real election. [Laughs] There was only the one character that got actually elected in real life — we just picked who was going to be on the team for those other six characters. So you know, when we started planning the book, Gerry was like, “Hey, I’d like to use Rogue.” And Tini was like, “Cool, that sounds neat.” And that was long enough ago that Tini didn’t have to blow anything up.
As for Gambit, there was some back and forth on that, actually. Like, what should happen to him? If Rogue is going to join the X-Men, should he go live there as like, a little househusband or what? And there, Tini was like, “Actually I do have stuff I would want to keep doing with Gambit and I think it makes sense for him to stay here in Excalibur and do these things.” And we went great, it’s not a problem. And don’t forget, this is Krakoa, they have gates. They can walk from New York to England…
AIPT: X-Fan Emmanuel Boyd pointed out that Gambit revealed he has his own plans. What can you tease about these plans and how soon might we see them?
Jordan: Keep reading, keep reading. It’s in Excalibur. Tini, like I said, does have stuff in the hopper for Gambit. And it’s going to be playing out there. So if you want to see what mischief Gambit’s up to, that’s the place to look. Although, they’re husband and wife. So he makes appearances in other places. He will appear at least a little bit in X-Men. I’m not saying he’s in every issue of X-Men, but I do know there’s at least a scene in X-Men that I’ve seen drawn already that is pretty great.

The bolded part is for me the most obvious way to say that there are no plans. Keep doing implies that he has been doing things up until now. My ennthusiasm is now at an all time low.

"Plans"? The pessimist in me is worried. Even if it is good, though, it's too little too late at this point. I'm done with this book

She probably finally read issues with Gambit Otherworld shenanigans and his frienship with Pete Wisdom.
We'll see if she can pull something off.

Did Gambit's "Death" persona still exist?

[QUOTE=Mutant101;5584605]Did Gambit's "Death" persona still exist?[/QUOTE]
I know it wasn’t completely erased after being a Horseman. It was brought out of him again later on when he went into the Underworld for a mission in a later comic book. I will have to recheck where it happened. So it is technically embedded in all horsemen just dormant. I don’t know if there was a specific event to remove it but if not then it is still dormant inside him
Edit: it was in a mini series called X-men Hellbound. Where they go to limbo looking for Magik

I kind of remember that the "Death seeds" were wiped out in Uncanny X-Force. And Gambit's was mentioned to be gone in an interview around the same time (by Remender?).
Is there any Gambit in Giant Size X-Men?

Inconclusive. There is a shot of a shirtless man behind Monet in a group shot at the end but its not clear if thats Remy. He does cameo in New Mutants though alongside Frenzy
