This!!!! Playing Gambit Has Been Channings Dream Since He Was A Kid. People Need To Accept That The TV

This!!!! Playing Gambit has been Channings dream since he was a kid. People need to accept that the TV shows and movies are never gonna be exactly like the comics for numerous reasons. I think we should be happy that we got an actor that was so passionate about his role. Reboot the Gambit solo film!!!!

I’ve seen some people complaining about Channing Tatum/his accent in Deadpool & Wolverine, and I just want to set a few things straight.

Channing has been on the docket to play Gambit since 2005, but each and every time, the character was cut from the script, he had a prior contract, or the director kept getting replaced until the project was scrapped 4 years later with the Fox/Disney merger.

He has family in Louisiana and grew up in the bayous (albeit in rural Alabama). This character has meant something to him since CHILDHOOD when it comes to representation in media.

Gambit doesn’t speak SAE (Standard American English). He’s a street urchin from Acadia/New Orleans. He grew up speaking Cajun (a mix of Southern American, Canadian French, and España Spanish grammar applied to a mostly English vocabulary) and Louisiana French (an offshoot of Canadian French from Acadians).

Every person I’ve seen online who ACTUALLY GREW UP around people who speak Cajun, Creole, and/or Louisiana French has said that his accent is SPOT ON, maybe even a little too clear.

All this to say: if you can’t understand Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine, you’re not supposed to. That’s the bit: unless you’re used to those dialects and accents, you’re shit outta luck trying to parse it out without help. Hell, even Rogue, who grew up in the South, doesn’t know what he’s saying half the time.

When my roomate first moved in I would scare the shit out of them with stuff like this. “Oh yeah, your aunt with all the dogs” and they’d be like “wtf?????? How do you remember that” and I’d just shrug “you told me once when you were drunk”

It still happens every once in a while, we’ve lived together for almost a year now

And I’m expected to do the dishes in these conditions

Being neurodivergent and chronically ill is crazy because you already have issues with executive functions and then your body hinders you even more. AND your sensory issues are heightened by the pain you feel.

he looks like he’s talking about dean to someone who’s never watched supernatural before
