Well on that note... saw this in a reddit thread, some tshirts from hot topic that are using the new designs and a re-design logo...Disney is committed to these new looks...

Well all I can say is Wolverine became a thicc Boi. He is literally T posing without extending his arms lol.

Overall I think they all look decent. I think Storm and Remy are the most dramatically changed. Storm is fine though I find it funny they are going with the look that was created as a joke for her lol. It looks like Remys coat is being changed into a cloak with a hood. He's really been given a more fantasy look recently. I think they really feel he's too 90s but I think it's just Disneys traditional fear of risks.I still miss his headgear but we will see

Love it! Would love a series with that design. The same costume but I love how that artist style and Gambit looks young but fresh and his eyebrows are dangerous enough

That one is my favorite. Reminds me Joe Mad`s X-Men. Also love when Gambit looks like outsider of team.

He looks a little better in the closeup but I notice he doesn't have his fingerless/fingered gloves. I feel like all his trademarks were removed. I really feel like all the changes is based on setting up live action actors. So they toned down wolverines ears, gave cyclops the no underwear look and removed Storms long hair. Everything feels like a set up to ease finding a live action person to portray those people.

I'll be honest, I'm not feeling this design. As you mention, too many iconic characteristics were removed.

Also... there's a slight clunkiness to his design here. Not to knock the artist, but it doesn't complement the character well iykwim

Not as bad as Excalibur but it wasn`t good either.

But he had some good moments with Polaris and Quicksilver.

HATED the conversation in the first issue with Logan. It seemed like a complete 180 and not anticipated at all. I did really enjoy the Polaris dynamic and the art though.

Right? I thought it was interesting, at least

Forgive me Gambit fans -- Fambits(?) --- jk, okay so WHO are the people Remy is closest to? Like if he (and he alone) were to decide to invite some folks for a vacation, who would Remy invite?

**Purplevit** · 10-22-2020, 04:48 AM

Rogue, X-23, Storm, Bishop.

Were happy to see them all on Gambit`s team at wedding.

**Fokken** · 10-22-2020, 04:52 AM

I feel like a FOOL!!! I should have remembered when the brilliant Kelly Thompson assembled their nearest and dearest for the friggin wedding. hahaha.
