I believe way back I admitted to not actually reading the comics but I watched a couple of the cartoons, PLUS read a series of his comics. The ‘accent’ (from the comics, 1 I know he’s got a cajun french accent so) therefore the ‘from the comics’ were not what I heard on the screen nor… (& being I did my homework & searched out Cajun accents in various ways.) regardless I don’t care weather from Cartoon or comics (accent I heard while I read it) He did not have much (enough)of an accent but didn’t have any ‘Gambit-esq’ lines either.

(I believe someone mentioned something like this before on here, I agree w/ whoever you are & sorry but If I’m ’stealing’ it but also explanding on it)
He goes from a mildly good one (Canjun French sound) to some plain general southern accent to as I belive someone said None at all.

actually if like in the comics how Gambits hair is that spikey look.. if Kitsch were to do the same thing I think he’d look like’em. & that’s 1 of the reasons I think he should have the chance for another movie (weather it be his solo or large cast scale (or X4 because if I recall, Gambit would not be around for ‘First Class’
Also… If I didn’t mention it once before… there WILL be a Gambit movie. well at least IN Development Its slated for 2011 Tehre may be no cast announced yet but here’s the imdb link

I was obsessed for about 1-2 years waiting for the orings movie to come out…I would have seen it if he weren’t in it, but totehr than wolverine.. Gambit is the ONLY other x-man I knew of w/o reading the comics… (no idea how I even knew of the 2)

But with the diologe he was given they didn’t write in any Gambit-esq lines. Plus I will also go far enough to say the man studies his ass off on the card tricks & Bo staff… & don’t underestimate the Friday Night Lights GIRL fans… of Taylor Trust me you’d have a theater packed between that & real comic fans.. If you like the comics why not just go to the movies even if you DON’T like an actor!!! heck I went to see Twilight even though I read the books & frankly the movie was lame! yes it was pretty true to the book but certain things just were too much or not on par.. & I believe as a society that we have a curiosity to see the images in our heads on tv/big screen & when we see it ..to us is not what we like love ranting on how bad something was in a book we read etc.

For example….

The Vampire diaries.. (a book series by L.J. Smith)
They have actors that look nothing near some of the characters except the 2 salvatores & Matt the jock… The Lead charadcter has had a change.. instead of BLonde hair Lapis Blue eye.. Brunette & brown eyes!! there were 2 best friends (bonnie & Meridith) & the former friend (caroline) that’s an enemy in the book… well Bonnie’s ‘face’ is wrong… by description & merideth isn’t even in the show (at least not yet) There’s anoathe character missing so far & in place was a different which was killed off & yes I KNEW the tv series was LOOSELY based on the book.. but parts of it are horrible.. why do I keep watching.. because when I get all frustrated & want to change the channel.. there’s Damon Salvatore played by Ian SOmerhalder who to me plays a more “wicked, nastier, sarcastic, Vanomously Vicious more savage” version than that of damon in the book!

Give Taylor his OWN movie & I’m sure he’ll be down in New Orleans trying to get the accent.. (or maybe we can get Ian SOmerhalder born in Louisiana to help him out??)

Gambit’s involvement would team him up with the core of Colossus, Rogue, Ice-Man, Shadowcat, Beast, Storm, and perhaps the return of Emma Frost. Perhaps Wolverine can bring him back himself as he did become his first actual acquaintance post-memory loss.

For those questioning the character’s age, Origins: Wolverine’s Gambit wouldn’t be much older than the X-Men franchise’s Cyclops or Emma Frost would be.

Ideally, this would be a great opportunity. But unfortunately, it will likely never see the light of day.

[...] role for Rogue could also include or setup a possible storyline with her and Gambit; Wolverine star Taylor Kitsch is very interested in doing just that, and many fans would like to see it [...]

[...] and there’s been a tiny bit of talk he could get his own flick. I wrote a while back that Gambit’s solo feature would come a few years down the road, after the franchise establishes some other characters first [...]

Just to be clear, lol – We ALL wanted a good movie.

We didn’t get one, but we should of at least got to see our favorites on screen, we didn’t get that done properly either.

It can be Taylor’s weakness, true, but can just as easily be an editing thing. It’s his first time performing Gambit and Gambit even being on screen, s I’m sure he was experimenting with different accents. Could just as easily happen that while editing, somebody just combined those different accents without taking notice because really, the focus was making Hugh look good more then anything (not that Hugh is hard on the eye because he definitely isn’t).

I honestly think that had the role been bigger, more attention would be paid to this and therefore the accent would’ve been evened out. But that’s just me, I like to believe in good in people.

Who had time to call Gambit that? Everyone was to busy kicking each others asses.

I don’t remember them calling Gambit the Ragin’ Cajun in the movie at any point. I could be mistaken though. If not, it’s not the first time that Fox has taken liberties with a well established character.

Gambit is my second favorite character after Wolverine. I thought that Taylor Kitch brought a lot to the character and I noticed that they didn’t give him a lot of dialog or long sentences where his lack of an accent would really stand out. I’m pretty sure they knew he wasn’t ready but they wanted him there and it was great to see him.

I agree with you, he needs voice training for that character or else how he dresses, where he lives, how he makes his living will become a parody of the real Gambit. I’m glad he wasn’t wearing that head gear though.

@moneyshot

Josh Holloway would be great but this Gambit needs to get a little older first and I’d like to see more Taylor in that role. As far as facial features go, his was a great match.

Did I miss any comments about Deadpool having more powers in the movie than he did in the comic? And unlike the comic, I hope that they’ll let Ryan Reynold keep his hair when he’s “out of uniform”.

See Sinestro, Star Saphire(Zamarons), Atrocitus,Agent Orange,Saint Walker and Indigo..

Just being cheeky Rob but it’s been done to death , er actually to all colors in the spectrum..

I get your point..you wanted the accent…I wanted a good movie..
