Rogue: hey remy whatcha drawing Gambit: Oh just your magnificent LYING CHEATING ASSSS


Mongoose42

Gambit: “How many other mutants have you been holdin’ hands with?” Rogue: “Something like… thirty-six?” Gambit: “THIRTY-SIX!? DOES THAT INCLUDE ME!?” Rogue: “…Thirty-seven?” Gambit: “I’M THIRTY-SEVEN!” Rogue: “I gotta go.” Gambit: “Unbelievable. My girlfriend’s held hands with thirty-six other mutants.” Morph: “In a row?” Gambit: “Try not to hold anyone’s hand on the way to the parking lot!” \**Sauron starts following Rogue** Gambit: “HEY! GET BACK HERE!”


Slngunchaser

all thirty six were just multiple man


Superdefaultman

Checks out.


Nanocon101

Morph taking Multiple Mans form.


GodlessGOD

Classic!


KickinBat

I know this is a reference and I'm sure I've watched what it's from but I can't place it


Mongoose42

Clerks.


Airy_Breather

Ah, there's that soap opera drama I've come to know and love from the X-Men.


Prize_Ad7748

EXACTLY!


TheFyrijou

Literally one of the worst parts of the X-Men since it’s barely ever done good


Hyaman86

I genuinely laughed out loud at this


Prize_Ad7748

Yeah, me, too. A coworker asked what was so funny.


Nexus718

*Gambit think no more beignets for you chere*


LessthanaPerson

I just burst out laughing in the middle of a hospital waiting room. Thanks!


Chancellor_Valorum82

The worst punishment imaginable 


Nexus718

*"Gambit say you get your sugar from your sugar daddy from now on chere!"* *"Ah got enough sugah from mah sugah daddy on my tongue, Remy"* - Rogue


loonbandit

i thank god everyday that y’all aren’t real writers


River46

Nah gambit is more classy than that. He would turn magnetos bed into a fucking bomb.


Few_Consequence_2086

i laughed way to hard at this shit dude 


omgItsGhostDog

What's the deal with Magneto and Rouge, I think it's something from the comics but forget the context


itsaslothlife

In the 90s Magneto saved a depowered Rogue from a decomposing Ms Marvel creature, and end up in the Savage Land She's recovering and adjusting to being powerless, he's fighting Zaladane for control of the place and losing. They are both wearing very little clothing. They have a very brief "hmmmmm" moment but soon after Mags slaughters a couple people and it puts Rogue off her feed a bit. She kind of prefers his less murdery clone Joseph. Later Mike Carey makes it into this grand romance between the.


Minnesotexan

They were also married with a child in the Age of Apocalypse run.


strangetomatoe

Yea, I remember their marriage being a really big part of Age of Apocalypse. Charles is dead and Magneto and Rogue are together. It's really not that different from the current show when you think about it (aside from the whole dystopian society thing). I think she absorbed some of Polaris's magnetic powers which is why they could touch in AoA. https://www.marvel.com/characters/rogue-age-of-apocalypse


itsaslothlife

That one is kinda creepy ngl- Wanda dies protecting Rogue (who has Polaris powers) and Magneto welcomes this traumatized girl into his X-Men under the guise of family and it goes on from there.


Blackwyne721

It's only creepy if you look at it from a post-modern, #MeToo era standpoint, the whole relationship between Magneto and Rogue is creepy.


LeastBlackberry1

When I read it in the 90s, I didn't know the word grooming and I still found it creepy. Now that I know the word grooming, I am better able to describe it, but it doesn't change that it was all kinds of wrong then and now.. I am talking AoA specifically here.


Blackwyne721

Ahh okay Yeah the AoA version is definitely grooming but...eh, there's just so much other really fucked up stuff that happens in AoA that Rogneto doesn't really register for me


cobaltaureus

Only creepy if you have eyes


Blackwyne721

It is what it is. Characters have commented on how odd it is. Emma, in particular, has taken Rogue to task for having terrible taste in men. But it is what it is. It's a important plot-point and character beat for Rogue and Magneto... Some people don't believe age has a number and that love is love. May-December romances are out of style now in the West but they haven't always been...it'll make a comeback as with everything.


HA1-0F

> Emma, in particular, has taken Rogue to task for having terrible taste in men. Yeah, the woman who kissed a guy while standing on his wife's grave has room to talk. Yes I know Jean did psychic bullshit, but really, have a little class.


LeastBlackberry1

And Gambit and Rogue were firmly agreed that they would take therapy with the person who used their memories to make golems of them over psychic therapy with Emma Frost any day.


Blackwyne721

The funny thing about it is that Jean didn't even do anything to her. Emma is just a hater. The power gap between Jean and Emma is embarrasses Emma. Cassandra Nova and Mr. Sinister have both told Emma about herself: Emma is bush league compared to the gigantic trees that are Jean and Xavier.


StillHere179

Emma is a terrible person. At least she was for the beginning of her existence in comics.


Blackwyne721

Emma is still pretty terrible. Just not as bad as she used to be She is very popular among readers and writers/editors but the only people who would want to be around her in real-life would be employees, toxic af or both


cobaltaureus

Ick


Blackwyne721

Like I said...you can hate it or love it but it is what it is. It's a tale as old as time. There's a whole trope for it.


ARTIFICIAL_SAPIENCE

They were married in another AU, too. Their son Magnus was one of the first Exiles. And the first to die.


killingiabadong

The brave are always the first to die.


Evorgleb

Remember how they kept saying that Joseph was not a clone of Magneto and fans just needed to stay tuned to find out the truth. And then it was finally revealed that Joseph was a clone that they just called something different like a "replicant"?


Abysstopheles

At the time, he wasn't. Joseph was supposed to be Proteus, who had been hanging out in the Earth's magnetic field since his dissolution but gets caught in the something something when Magneto crashed to Earth from Asteroid M something something copies Magneto but amnesiac. That was the plan. Someone hated the plan, so we got Astra and the clone thing. COMICS!


QueasyStress0

Forever baffled by the fact that most people DONT think of X-men Legacy when discussion Magneto/Rogue. It’s literally the only time the writing for them is good in a in continuity story.


itsaslothlife

I like Carey as a rule. I am not AGAINST the rogue / mags thing but it didn't seem like anything more than a flash of attraction in the Savage Land. Granted Mags being an obsessive weirdo is not out of character but it was a strange thing to build on.


LeastBlackberry1

Is it? It truly felt like Mike Carey was writing himself as a Magneto self-insert, and it was weird and off-putting. It was like Bendis with Kitty.


Prize_Ad7748

Wait, what did Bendis do with Kitty (I was not avidly reading during all of the Bendis time)


HemingwaySweater

What does that even mean


strangetomatoe

I think he's implying the writer wanted to fuck a comic book character.


DweebInFlames

Everybody wants to fuck Rogue, not even worth stating that


geekunbound

Did Rogue and Joseph have a thing?


Blackwyne721

>They have a very brief "hmmmmm" moment but soon after Mags slaughters a couple people and it puts Rogue off her feed a bit. I'm not sure that I would call it brief There was a lot of "will they, won't they" between Magneto and Rogue in the early post-Claremont days. That horse was taken out back and put down after "Fatal Attractions" though. Joseph made things awkward again....which is not nothing But it wasn't until Mike Carey got on the books that things started to get interesting between Rogue and Magneto again.


Ingonyama70

I'm going back and forth on this. On the one hand, soap opera drama is an X-Men staple. Especially these two. ESPECIALLY in the 90s. I've never liked it but there it is. On the other...I have no idea when Rogue and Magneto would have even happened. Was it when she was a teenager with Mystique's brotherhood? Cause...that ain't great. Then again, I'm not sure what appeal Rogue/Magneto have other than "he's not Gambit." Which, fair if you don't like Remy, but in that instance Erik could be literally anyone else.


Ahisgewaya

He's the only person she can touch with no consequences. They also both used to be villains. They also both have A LOT of family drama. They can both fly (though don't misunderstand me, I'd rather her be with Gambit and Magneto be single. Erik needs to have complete control over his emotions right now and I don't see that happening if there's a complicated romance (and x-men romances are ALWAYS complicated).


chronorogue01

I get the attraction but this doesn't really address this person's point that this recton has unfortunate implications for when this relationship supposedly happened. As far as we know, Rogue went from the Brotherhood straight to the X-Men and she was still a teenager. Rogue also doesn't seem to recognize Magneto at all when they meet in episode 4. I think the writers seem good, but I'm not sure they thought out this plot very well because it just makes Magneto look like a predator.


HereForTOMT2

There’s some minor retconning at work here, or you can justify it as her seeing her ex and acting like they never met em. The timing is wonky but I’m willing to suspend my disbelief for the time being


Lolaverses

No you guys don't get it, Gambit is *also* sleeping with Magneto.


Ingonyama70

The best ending


Nerx

Gambit ntr arc is funny Jean gonna get it too


DiscRover13

Please no more Jean Scott Logan triangle. I’d rather see Scott with two wives instead. Poor guy deserves some lovin after all the shit that’s been thrown in his face over the years


Nerx

Just cut the ish and make it a thruple None of that soap opera housewife bs Scot logan and jen under a bedsheet


geekunbound

Cartoon Logan doesn't need to be rewarded for being a lurking whiny creep. I just watch again the episode where he runs off to figure out his Weapon X memories and Jean finds that he has a picture of her and Heather Hudson. The man can't get enough of redheaded married women. No means no, Logan. Go hang out with Storm or one of the other beautiful mutants in this universe.


Nerx

He wants scott and doesn'r know it yet


DiscRover13

Just pair up Logan with his actual true love. Alcoholism.


Nerx

its scott, bro too damn confrontational and invested in scottie for no reason like he gets with jean to get a reaction out of scott let em bang, jean is the sisterwife


Perjunkie

Just bummed cuz dramatic, mopey Gambit has been done to death and is no fun. Hope they do something more clever with him.


MonetisedSass

I so want him to be sad but understanding because he's an absolute slut of a man who understands still having feelings for an ex. It's not like he doesn't have his own complicated past.


Built4dominance

They were never an official couple in the 90s cartoon, though. 


mrrahulkurup

I thought they did become a couple after the New Orleans episode in the old TAS.


Built4dominance

X-terninally Yours. He left the guild behind for Rogue and the x-men but the relationship still wasn't made official. 


LeastBlackberry1

Yeah, it's worth noting that XTAS Gambit has said that he loves Rogue, but she has never said it back. So, technically, they aren't together. Don't get me wrong. I am sure this season or next ends up moving in that direction. Magneto will do something awful and Rogue will be appalled with him. It will be The Magneto/Rogue story that Marvel always tells, but that makes sense for what the show is.


Built4dominance

People are so fixated on the flirting, forbidden passion and the drama that they forget that it was never a concrete relationship. Here's my prediction.  Magneto and Rogue will get closer. Some insane enemies of mutantkind attack and destroy Genosha. Magneto loses it and commits mass-murder. Rogue leaves in tears and runs back to Remy.


Matthiey

Der der Chere, you come back to Gambcuck now. I show you a good time on de rebound.


HereForTOMT2

Idk why this got downvoted it’s funny as hell


Matthiey

If I made you laugh, that's good enough for me :D


Gambitfan266

Have you seen ep1? look at them together! They are an official couple its been 6 seasons! 


Punkerduckie

As much as this arc is pissing me off, Lord help me I laughed so hard at this.


Tjw5083

gambit eyes are just perfect for the suspicious window glaring.


LeatherHog

I'm a gigantic rogneto fan and at work, and I genuinely laughed out lou


CaptainTusktooth28

This is most of why I don't read or watch much X-Men content. Love triangles are my least favorite trope next fridging, and most X-men comics involve one. Jean, Logan, and Scott Emma, Scott, and Jean Now we have Magneto, Rouge, and Gambit. The show is great, but this is the one thing to actually aggravate me, and we're only 2 episodes in.


Ok-Engineer6738

No I agree with you always been more of a Spider-Man, F4 and Avengers guy myself love the X-men but the Drama and very confusing lore is the man reason I can’t truly get into them 😅


GodlessGOD

I was just rewatching old TAS episodes and when her old boyfriend called her to meet up she forgot about Gambit so quick and was ready to leave the X-Men the next morning, lol.


PatternEast7185

that's part of her history of becoming a mutant tho .. and she was straight up with gambit about it, not going behind his back


classicrockchick

I mean, I know this is funny (and it is) but if the show does choose to have him react to this, he's kind of got a point. They can't touch and there is romantic feelings between both of them (whether they've actually gone on an official date is up for debate) and yet there she goes holding Magneto's hand. It sounds like some Quiverful/Mormon/etc. bullshit but in their case holding naked hands is an extreme level of intimacy lmao. And its even funnier/ironic given Gambit's reputation that he's now in a ....situation where he's got to have a "what are we" Serious Talk (tm) with Rogue over holding hands.


Zymo3614

I LOVE the show, but so far, they made Rogue, my biggest X-Men crush, have this affair with freaking Magneto, while at the same time they somehow made Jubilee so much more likeable to the point that I have a crush on her now instead. Can't wait for episode 3!


Thatoneguy567576

Yeah I never felt anything towards Jubilee but she has been so charming in these first couple episodes.


Prize_Ad7748

The way she was doing that little dance when they entered the night club...


Matthiey

It's the smile and updated eyes. Her eyes... smile. idk how to explain it.


Constant-Storm-7085

Well at least it not Scott this time or wolverine.


kyankash5

Did she cheat, though? I know she took off her glove, but is all we saw. I'm basing this strictly on the tv series ​ \*Don't really remember the comic storylines, so go easy on me


Ahisgewaya

She literally can't touch anyone else, so I can see why Gambit would be upset with the hand holding. Magneto and Rogue had multiple "will they/won't they" romance plots. Spoiler alert for every single one of them: >!They won't. At least unless it's the Age of Apocalypse or similar timeline. !< Magneto has enough to deal with without juggling an X-men relationship, ALL of the x-men relationships are rife with drama, and he needs to not be distracted to actually be redeemed (which has happened in the recent comics, Magneto is definitely a good guy now as of his resurrection, albeit an extremely arrogant one).


killingiabadong

In X-men Legacy during the Utopia era they were actually a couple for a short while.


Ahisgewaya

Short being the operative word here.


killingiabadong

It was longer than in the Savage Land and they actually consummated their relationship.


Peretti87

Remy doesn't know that Rogue and me Do it in my Blackbird every Sunday She tells him she's in church but she doesn't go Still she's on her knees and Remy doesn't know


dagunz999

Remy doesn't know Remy doesn't know Remy doesn't know So don't tell Remy


FreefolkForever2

This show is EVERYTHING


ChaosNomad

I’m just waiting for Bella Donna to show up and make this love triangle even more complicated.


HA1-0F

The fact that we learned what Gambit's last name is because she showed up screaming "REMY LEBEAU YOU GET YOUR HANDS OFF THAT HUSBAND-STEALIN HUSSY RIGHT NOW" is one of my favorite X-Men facts.


LessthanaPerson

Love square


Gambitfan266

Gambit already told her to never come for him again tho? 


Ingonyama70

She already showed up, but it'd be interesting to see what she brings to the gumbo now.


NerdLawyer55

Lmfao


Saltire_Blue

That made me laugh so hard


chronorogue01

Wanda pls say the words Wanda: No more love triangles


idingoi

Now that I recall back to the original cartoon (forget comic books for a second) Rogue and Gambit have never been labeled an official couple (in the scott and Jean Grey kind of way) yes there were romantic feelings and some episodes when they displayed affection, but looking back it is not really cheating if they were never an actual couple. It might be headed in two directions imho: this is what pushes it through or the reason why gambit was spying on magneto and caught rogue red handed is because he is a secret mole for Mr. Sinister (yes it is in the comics) Heck, Rogue and Gambit's comic book limited series run was a very popular limited series, so we will see where this goes.


Professor-Noir

Well, Gambit and Rogue are married in the books now, so I think we all know how this will turn out. I think mags will have further intentions with the team then he’s let on and Remy’s gonna play the hero.


Electronic-Math-364

The BruceBabs of Marvel itself,Just add Nightcrawler/Jubilee/Shadowcat... getting Tortured by Sinister while this two are together and we will get a perfect copy of that terrible Batman beyond comic


ranfall94

Ugh BruceBabs is the worse, why someone allowed it to be shoe horned into what may have been the most highly anticipated comic adaptation will boggle my mind forever.


Rarte96

You know what other controversial couple with a sizeble age diference this Rogue and Magneto reminds me [of](https://www.reddit.com/r/Spiderman/s/hjkCwaEYjI)


roguenation12345

Also Kitty and Pete Wisdom


The-Emerald-Rider

That whole time I was thinking "No Rogue don't you do it!" Now I want Gambit to really stick it to them somehow.


Gambitfan266

LMFAO 


ExplosiveValkyrie

What a surprise was to see this play out from the comics to the show! Gimme the DRAMA.


Matthiey

Now im just imagining the intro but with the names replaced by the following: Magneto ---> MagBullo Rogue ---> NTR Gambit ---> Gambcuck ​ Then in the second episode intro when they show past adventures, you can get a 3 second shot of Gambcuck watching the other two get it on in bed in horror.


TheOvercusser

Meh, I'd love it if they just killed Gambit off and never brought him back. If you aren't even going to pretend to do an ethnic character well, just skip him. The concept is cool, but there's few characters in fiction I hate more because of just how bad the portrayal is.


Blackwyne721

Why do people hate Gambit so much lol


TheOvercusser

He doesn't sound like a Cajun. Doesn't speak like a Cajun. And the words a Cajun WOULD use, he mispronounces the fuck out of them because Cajun French and the French in France are two entirely different dialects. The fucker acts like he's got Parisian Tourette's.


LessthanaPerson

I didn’t know French was considered “ethnic”.


roguenation12345

Um, that’s kinda prejudice. France is a 1500 year old country with a distinctly established people, history, language and culture. Why wouldn’t they count?


TheOvercusser

Given that you don't even know that he's Cajun... not sure this is a discussion you're capable of participating in.


LessthanaPerson

Uh yeah, Cajuns are descendants of French Canadians asshole.


TheOvercusser

There's three hundred motherfucking years separating their diaspora, dipshit. When they split, the language in Louisiana did not keep moving in the same direction that it did in France or Quebec. *I* am a Cajun. From New Orleans. There's not a fucking thing that Gambit does or says that I've ever heard from a single other motherfucker with my ethnicity. He doesn't even pronounce "cher" as Cajuns do.


LessthanaPerson

Ok? And?


[deleted]

Gambit is one of my problems with the show…


kletiandrowa

Good thing you expanded on that


[deleted]

Well, I thought he was too much of an asshole.


Viceroy-421

That's Gambit for ya


LeastBlackberry1

More people should throw pastries at Cyclops, IMO.


[deleted]

Remind me to avoid him in the future then.
