The only downside to this for me was Rogue holding him at the end. She didnt deserve too. I also saw a parrallel between her and the Sentinel. They both over look Gambit in favor of Mags. Her because she can touch Mags and the Sentinel because Mags is the Omega level threat.
In the ens though Gambit showed it is the guy that is often overlooked or ignored that comes up Aces in the end.
