A Call to Marvel

Marvel and DC fans have got to love the current superhero movie craze. We’ve been dumped on lately by so many of them that we don’t know what to do with ourselves. Most have been good – some have been outstanding.

Yet is it enough?  Of course not.  The more the better, for with every movie made, so increases the chances that one of the overlooked favorites will get a movie made about them.  Who do I have in mind specifically?  The one and only cajun, Gambit.  And why not, I ask?  He had his own comic book series.  He was and is well loved by any serious X-fan.  He’s got looks, attitude, a romantic story-line, etc.  I don’t think a mere five second appearance in an X-Men movie would do him any justice – he needs his own production.

I’d like to see some others in movies, though they may not appeal to enough fans to have thier own.  I’d like to see Omega Red, Apocalypse, Carnage, and Archangel, among others.  The Angel was good in X3, but Archangel would be so much cooler.  And they’ve got to follow the Phoenix story line so we can have an appearance there.

All I ask is that Gambit gets his movie.  And if not his own, then a very prominant role in another movie.  He is too good not to receive this kind of attention.
