I like Channing Tatum as Gambit and was just really happy to see Gambit getting screen time at all in that movie.
But when it comes to people complaining about him some of the complaints I'm gonna be honest are just dumb.
Costuming? Valid. Theres only so much you can do to make Gambit's outfit not look stupid and Channing's face shape isn't exactly like Gambit's so the mask is probably not to some people's liking. Plus the fact he doesn't have the iconic red and black eyes IS something to be genuinely saddened about. Because its why Gambit has the life that he has.
The accent? I thought was wonderful. Some Cajuns say it was spot on, some say it wasnt. He has family in Louisiana so I'm gonna go ahead and say that he knew what he was doing and compared to some animated appearances where he isn't cajun at all, it is a step up. But its okay if you think its too strong considering the fact they didn't bother to subtitle it for that movie (literally just says Unintelligible when he mutters "couyon zwah" before throwing the card at Wolverine)
But the dialogue for his single appearance? "Oh it made him a laughing stock" I'm sorry but like the movie you are watching is a DEADPOOL movie. It is an ACTION COMEDY. If Gambit was not making jokes it would've been WEIRD. And even then that was NOT CHANNING'S FAULT ENTIRELY. Whoever was gonna play Gambit in that movie would've had to also joke or did improv to add to the comedy. Give the man a chance to be in a serious film first, Deadpool and Wolverine was NOT enough to say he was dogshit at playing the character.
