Hello word nerds
Welcome to the ad for my podcast called the dictionary
My name is Spencer Parks. I host this podcast. I read the dictionary the words the definitions
etymologies even more I talk about it. I try to explain things
I also sometimes try to put in some silly jokes or silly sing-songy things
You know it's just a fun way to read the dictionary sometimes I have guests on and I hope that you will turn on this podcast
check it out start from the beginning and
You know enjoy this what I like to call edutainment
Check it out in all the places that you can find podcasts
Hello and welcome to how did this not get made this is the podcast all about the movies that were never made
The scripts that were never written and the ideas that never even made it to the page my name is Daniel Kawka and I'm Lexcee Riley
And we're back for part two dose of gambit and do now we are changing up the format
Because this script is a little long. I'm excited because you had sent me snapchats here in there
Yes, I had and it was the most enticing way to do that because I was like oh what what's happening because there are moments in the script that were just
Unhinged and not say for work. Yeah
So make sure you're listening with headphones. Yep. If there are children
It's time to leave the room just send them outside. Yeah, tell your kids to go play outside unless you're in Southern California
Then go into the bunker have them played
Sonic
Can't follow up bunker
We were gonna go into this now
I wanted to split this up so that all of the history all of the story of the movie not getting made
Just all kind of stayed all together and this script was
125 pages. Yeah, I was in screen time that would have been I mean they say a page per minute
But I kind of cobble shit on that. Yeah, I do too
Depending on like what's on the page estimated this would have been about a two hour long movie if it's these days
Almost a three hour movie. Yeah, what has been your favorite aspect of Gambit so far?
Josh Holloway Josh Holloway second Lizzie Kaplan third the character of Gambit
Do you have an understanding of what his powers are playing cards? It's
I think you actually said it best in the last episode where it is like the kinetic energy
Although there's the one adaptation or backstory where he buys the playing cards and I was like yeah
That's what I needed I get that like they're small and pocket-sizing carry them around
because of the New Orleans element and
There's a magical element to New Orleans. I've always thought that that would be the tether
Hmm, I mean it was weirded out and I was like it's just cards. Yeah, especially when you said the tarot cards
I was like, oh, okay, yeah, and you'll see a few instances of the tarot cards in the script
But yeah, he has kinetic energy that he stores into inanimate objects and then can make him explode
There has been some debate if he can do that with like an organic object or person or something like that
Right, I'm gonna throw you out of wall. Yeah, but that's kind of been like if he for the most part
It's been like inanimate object mostly in the form of cards
I like the scientific part of like it's the kinetic energy behind it and not just
First-hand magic things go boom. How is Channing Tatum at this point in time? Oh
44 years old he was born in 1980. Okay. He's like 23 in the one story
He's almost double because the origins are so blurred. I don't mind that he's older
I kind of like that he's older. I mean you can veer away from the origin story if you were to make a gambit
You could but like Lizzie Kaplan is Bella Donna is something the world needs to see
There is a joke that's in Deadpool and Wolverine if you don't know the history of him getting a movie or like them
Trying to make a gambit movie all of them are like where you all from and it's like well
I came from this came from this came from this and it goes to gambit and he's like maybe I was born
Yes, it's hard to know for sure
Yeah, that was great. There's another one too, but that one I caught last night was like oh I get the
Height behind him. Yeah, the characters instantly magnetic like anytime that he's on screen
You're just like oh, yeah, he has this charm about him. Yeah, he's incredibly charming
Yeah, all of his D&D stats are in
Currisman. Yes, if you are a casting director and Channing Tatum, John Carter, Taylor Kish, Josh Hallway and
Canary so you have these four in front of you agent or whatever. Let's say they're all the same age for
Stake of this who are you casting? I would want Josh Hallway. Yeah
I'm unbiased so I couldn't I couldn't answer
Josh Hallway when I first read that I was like that one made the most
sense mm-hmm. I mean we just saw Channing Tatum as gambit and that's not to say that he would not be good at it
No, he was fantastic
I really love how he steers into the dialect. Yes, and it's not unintelligible
Like he knows exactly what he's doing with it
Yeah, a hundred percent, but there is something about and I don't know if it's like the Sawyer Swagger
Yeah, I think the fact that like you'd completely turn around on that character of like him being a bad guy
But you still want him to succeed. He's still like him a lot like but he's always a bad boy at his heart
Like he is always sort of a jerk. I will say there's something about Channing Tatum
He seems so nice. I like don't get a hundred percent bad boy. There's just like a genuine niceness there
I've seen bling twice which is a phenomenal movie. Oh, right. Yeah, like spoilers
He's the bad guy. You start the movie and kind of get that vibe
But I still am like I trust you. Yeah, you know I shouldn't but I do I get that
Is there any wishful casting outside of the ones that were lunch? I don't know how you top Josh Holloway to be honest
I want to know
What gambit is supposed to be and I love Channing's version
But there's something about when you said Josh Holloway it all clicked. Yeah, it just makes sense even more than cannery
Speaking of my keen sense go ahead and make sense of these
Effortizements
Welcome back. Did you make sense of those ads? I did not I never do but I'm sure that our audience did they are smart of us
Every single product that was featured on there so speaker if you're listening they bought all the products
So just a reminder before we get into the script this was written by Josh Zudomire
He's the one who was behind the Robocop remake your own page rate today
This is the second draft that he submitted in
2015 okay, so a decade ago. Mm-hmm. This version would have had leasado. Oh, it's not my girl
Not your girl although there is wishful thinking because it never got made. I'm sure she's great
She was great and doing nobody be as lazy cap like me and
This is supposed to take place after the events of days of future past and apocalypse. Oh after apocalypse
I don't know why I thought it was in between okay, so the four-born horsemen have come and we survived yes
In a world totally underwater. Oh my god
We open on a red hat building in
1984 Louisiana State Penitentiary we follow three US marshals making their way through the prison
Taking any precautions hinting that the prisoner that they are about to encounter is dangerous
They enter a maximum security wing specifically made four mutants
They open the cell to an unknown shackled prisoner. They strap a mask on his face and cuff him with
Adamantium coils. Oh, he's taking out under maximum security and transported to a New Orleans courtroom
We're brought to the witness stand and the mask is removed. This is Remy Lebo. He's supposed to be in his thirties
Okay, gambit when we see his face he is crushingly handsome movie star looks
This is a quote from the actual script, so I did not write that down
That's nice. Mm-hmm during the trial several women are swooning over him
Oh, yeah, they swear him in with a King James Bible and just before Remy can touch the book the US martial
Heels weapon and arm security points are gunnetted the judge asked if this is necessary
Clearly unaware of the abilities to turn any mundane object into an explosive and the prosecutor states that yes
If he does touch it, he could potentially kill everyone in the room. Yeah big deal
The judge allows the proceedings to continue
Patel's Remy not to touch anything
The female jury members state that they cannot be objective because in this case he is too good looking to look like a criminal
They begin to argue over who he looks like and how he looks
And the judge bings is gavill to stop them the prosecutor states that they need a new jury quote
And that and a nutshell is gambit dangerous, but sexy
No
Was this supposed to be Channing or was this Josh Holloway? This is Channing Tatum. Okay cut to the budro plantation
Norelings
1955 we see a garden party that's been ruined by sudden rainfall
Everyone scrambles to get inside and in the middle of the chaos we see Luke Lebo
He acts like a servant to sneak in and makes his way stealthily into the master bedroom
He finds the wall safe and it's empty with scorch marks around it
He's been beaten to it and turns to the window to catch a shadow of the thief that got there before him
Luke chases down the thief to a shanty in storyville where the mutants hang out
Now I do need to point this out storyville in New Orleans as of now does not exist
It used to be an area of New Orleans that was like the Amsterdam of New Orleans like got it
I thought this was a made-up thing some glad you clarified it is a real thing
It is not anymore in this reality it just kept going but it's specifically for mutants
Yes, I was surprised to find that out I was like I've been to New Orleans and I was like I've never heard a story
If you watch the interview with a vampire the series there are parts of that show that take place in storyville
That's what I thought
So yeah storyville that's where the mutants are segregated to
Luke discovers it's a six-year-old boy that's bested him
He's able to catch up to the boy and talk to him it's a young gambit
Luke calls him out for stealing and gambit reveals that he's an orphan and this is how he makes a living
Thieven
Luke walks away showing that he respects the little thief
Gamut looks through his hull and reveals he stole a ring in a roll of photographs from the bedros
Gambit follows Luke and in the process gets stuck in a swamp
Luke helps him out and takes him under his wing
He brings gambit to his home which is known as quote "the boat"
A multi-tiered jungle of house parts built into a steel hull
There were meets six boys Luke has adopted the first two that we meet are Henry and Charlie
Gambit reeks from being in the swamp and the boys force him to take a bath
When his head is pushed underwater the capillaries in his eyes fill with a rust-colored blood
and the ice cold water begins to boil in a massive wave of energy explodes away from young gambit
Luke investigates the ruckus wondering why the place is covered in water
We see young gambit in the tub he's ashamed Luke comforts him
While gambit was being brought in the boys were working on breaking open a slot machine unsuccessfully
Luke asks if gambit can try and break it open gambit touches it briefly and the slot machine
bursts open Luke and the boys are proud of what he can do and see a lot of potential in him
French Quarter 1964 but I think
Almost a decade later yeah nine years later gambit has now 14 and he is with his brothers
who are all in their teenage years oh so he's 80 bitty if he's supposed to be 14 he's five in the
last he's six years old okay they are running with various stolen groceries in their hands
cops begin to chase him down until they get to the border of the French Quarter and storyville
the brothers warn remy not to cross into storyville but remy goes through anyways
this is the second-guided section from unions he runs through an area and is scared by a little
10 year old girl looking at him through the window she has black eyes and horns he continues his
way into the psychic parlor and pauses to see a 13 year old girl reading tarot cards to a tourist
couple this is the first time remy sees belladonna budro she gives a generic fortune based on the
cards and the couple things that they're getting scammed they grab their cash and leave quote
bellas body creates a static charge her clothes and her hair seem to become weightless like she's
underwater suddenly bellas eyes roll back into her head eerie the tourists stop in the tracks
Bella a psychic who's actually a psychic hey yeah she reveals the actual truth about them as black male
and demands two hundred dollars from them the cops are closing in on gambit and he slips into the room
with Bella Bella throws a knife at gambit and gambit grabs a tarot card and throws it back in
and defense they both miss by gambit's card hits the wall and it explodes she's impressed
and helps gambit and his brothers escape from the cops by leading them to a brothel oh goody
yep to disguise himself gambit throws on a browned duster that's too big for him
i really like this these spot four cops below gambit grabs a nearby copper pipe
and heats it up and the same that burst out incapacitates the police they continue their escape
they see a cop car and hop in with gambit's powers he's able to hotwire the car and they crash it
immediately boys will be boys there's where that goes we cut to a toothless gambit get in his mug shot
oh my god this is so cute at the police station Bella and gambit formally meet each other
and for the first time gambit says his name is remy lebo she asks so you're a pretty good thief huh
and gambit replies now i'm the best that's ever been cute oh my god i can hear it in chanting
tatibas accent that's great needle drop devil went down to georgia yes
luke arrives at the police station to pay gambit's bail and bellas mother bribes the cops to let
her daughter free marianne who's bellas mom and luke exchange unpleasantries accuse in each other
that their child is a bad influence um gambit steals a kiss from belladonna
before they are pulled apart devil and down to georgia fades out in the scene yeah this is a good movie
so far cut to the budro plantation 1973 10 years later a bell bottom clad adult gambit pulls up to
the budros and a stolen cop car and uses his thieven and better control powers to make his way into
the house he spots bella in the shower oh no no well bellas took a turn bellas cousin asked from the
hallway if she's going to the guild meeting and she says she'll go meanwhile gambit sneaks into
her bedroom then the two passionately kiss they've been keeping their relationship a secret
i mean great but you don't need to creep on her shower i get that you're together at all but
in another demonstration of bellas powers she asks if she can enter gambit's thoughts while making love
oh apparently they just share everything she enters his mind and sees an image of gambit's brother
henry on the toilet eating fried chicken what gambit saved the memory as a prank for bella
oh my god you instantly get the r-rated deadpool vibe oh yeah the two continue to hook up on the
bed and in the background we see tv footage of mystique saving nixon an event that occurred during
exmen days of future past oh spoilers you had time you should see it the two pause and talk about
getting married gambit wants to alope in vegas whole bella wants a traditional new orlands marriage
of course the two are interrupted by bella's brother julien knocking on the door and asking if
she's coming gambit does a batman exit in an oak alley just like an alleyway filled with like
oak trees all around i was very confused by that direction too oh i mean yeah we see gambit's powers
grow stronger his eyes turn rust red and he throws cards at a tree out of frustration until the trees
splits half later that night the assassin's guild is holding an event at the guild hall
luke budro gambit and a handful of his brother sneak into the event bella donna spots gambit knowing
he's up to no good and tries not to acknowledge him in the back room we see mariam paying off a
councilman to stop the expansion of story bill the band plays a song that increases in tempo bella
and gambit start dancing and the two are the only one second keep up the two start gravitating
towards each other but bill is brother julien steps in between to stop all of this oh mariam steps in
and insist that they take this outside gambit cools down the tension and talks to marian about
teeming up for a heist gambit asked for her blessing to be with bella in an exchange for a green to
the heist marian and her family would become a lot richer yeah well it's usually how works after
the event back at the budros marian expresses to bella that she doesn't trust those thieves
they're not we cut to a heist underway it's a combined crew of 40 people that meet at the back
entrance of a federal reserve bank to ensure trust between each other bella climbs on the back of
gambit's motorcycle and they ride together into the bank the two use their combined powers to blast
through the bank and hold up the floor of government employees the rest of the crew enter behind them
they make their way down to the vault break it open and grab everything that they can they're about to
leave in gamut spots a second vault the vault wasn't in the original blueprint and decides to
investigate ignoring the advice to do otherwise gambit is addicted to the rush bella can see the cops
are closing in and she leaves gambit behind oh boy bella uses her abilities to find where the cops
are and for the first time her guild can see that she's also a mutant bo bo bo bo bo bo julian chokes
lamb's bella against the wall and gambit knocks him out gambit blows a hole through the wall to make
their escape and suddenly everyone in the bank goes silent marian asked bella to step away from gambit
she has to decide between gambit or her family bella let's go and the thieves in the assassins
are in a standoff luke tries to diffuse the situation but julian keeps staring at gambit wanting to kill
him as tension begins to loosen julian reaches for his gun but gambit is too quick and throws a
cart of julian killing him instantly bella horrified gives a look at gambit before he can explain
the thieves and assassins start shooting at each other in the chaos luke has been shot and dies
the budros and lobos take off in separate directions gambit and the other thieves grieve over luke's body
henry beats on gambit and knocks out a tooth gambit doesn't fight back like he deserves it
henry and the other brothers agree that this was his fault they turn on him and gambit leaves for good
does say yeah also can't get over the Romeo julian like feeling of it all
capulets in the monogues you immediately it gives you like tension and you want a root for their love
you root for their love had it not been for this circumstance like they wouldn't be right
otherwise they would just be together and wouldn't have to hide at all because of the summary
it's like not really there but probably tell that bell is mom is like against mutants
it's very clear and let's sort of mean like by Romeo and Juliet like they're stark-crossed lovers ill-fated
from the beginning because of mutants as is every x-men story yeah because it's always been a metaphor
for immigrants being other than anyway yeah and even like professor x and magneto has always been
kind of a avatar for welcome x and martin with the king jr cut to ten years later
is nineteen eighty three and we are in peri oh and we are he's in a twenty so he's in his thirties at
this point the city of love we follow a man in his forties through a pool hall into the back room
where we find a drunk gambit he dons a trench coat with a fur collar oh my god and pink stripe
bike shorts and has a gold tooth great the imagery's stellar the two go into the back alley and get
into a van to do a job gamut sees the driver's immune and he tells the head of the crew Jake
be careful if I were you can't trust them they arrive at the louvre it's night time yeah the museum
is under construction gambit is really sloppy and trips the alarm bars and plexiglass trapped the other
robbers while gambit uses his ability to grab a painting and leaves them all behind oh my god the
josh hollow way of that scene is so good it's fantastic when they're all sneaking down there but
included in this because I didn't think it was necessary but the first thing he does is he has a
boom box and just starts playing music that's a really good bad boy yeah so he steals the painting
and then we smash cut to that same stolen painting hanging in a peri s nightclub
we find a jaded gambit quote gambit in the bath shirtless next to him a dude in an inflatable raft
wearing a giant rabbit head it's kind of like a jacuz a bald girl a doodles on gambits and
naked back with a sharpie a woman jacklin approaches him they flirt for a bit and we cut to them
hooking up in the back the next morning we are in gambit's apartment messy and filled with stolen
items jacklin wakes up next to gambit and shapeshifts into shake oh hello yeah Jake is the one that
went through the pool hall before he went to the job yeah gambit panics but Jake is not mad about
being left behind instead that was a test from his employer to see if gambit was up for a bigger job
Jake tells him that he needs him for a job in New Orleans gambit wants nothing to do with it
he tells him that the broodros nearly killed all the thieves and he'll get paid $40 million to rob
Beledonna in her family gambit asks who jakes employer is but Jake will not give that up gambit refuses
to do the job but jakes employer anticipated that Jake hands gambit a baydemax tape and tells him
that the plane takes off at noon Jake leaves and gambit plays the tape its surveillance footage from
the robbery ten years ago it's Marianne shooting Luc LeBeau in the back gambit leaves immediately
yeah wasn't his fault nope it was never his fault gambit arrives back to New Orleans to find that
the city is mostly underwater this is an unintended consequence from magnetos manipulation of the
earth's magnetic field from X-Men apocalypse yeah in a world totally underwater gambit has Jake
stopped the car when he sees his old neighborhood and he dives into the water he arrives at the
houseboat he grew up in and find Luc's safe and breaks into it he grabs a ring and a leather satchel
he gets back into the car still wet in ruining the leather interior he looks at the old ring
which was supposed to be an engagement ring he then opens a satchel it's an old photo of gambit as a
kid standing next to his real parents they continue to drive through the destroyed city and arrive at
Henry's house Henry has an H-12 Jake shapeshifts into Jacqueline Henry sees gambit in scoffs turns out
Henry and Jacqueline know each other Jacqueline was supposed to recruit a ringer for their team but he
was not expecting gambit they exchange words apologies are said and they get to the point where
they are civil with each other something that I noticed in the script because like it's underwater
all that stuff like this is definitely hurricane relief yeah first I was like oh it's not I
assumed it was from a hurricane and not magneto well in this case it's supposed to be a magneto but
like it's definitely the metaphor is there and not entirely subtle yeah the fact that New Orleans
still even to this day hasn't fully recovered from Katrina like yeah it's all there there's even a
line in there that says like all the relief money went to New York City and New Orleans got nothing
yeah we get a flashback of the flood while though waters were rising a team of mutant assassins
were hired to kill the libos they even killed the councilman that Marion bribed earlier
we see other mutants known as the vanisher twins rob of mansion all these hired mutants show up at the
boudros and Marion is there to pay them handsomely Jake explains that his employer got hit the worst
more than anyone they know Marion is going to sell the valuables at an underground auction
Henry shows a plan to stop all of this they drive by the boudros to do some surveillance gambit dismisses
the plan and goes ahead and walks under the property Henry chases him gambit takes out two guards
in spot say van unloading they find the stolen treasures are being stash but more importantly
they spot a pellet marked with a double helix on the pallet are cases of green pills
inside Bella who now sports short blonde hair interesting this cooking in the kitchen when she can
feel gambit is nearby and suddenly he makes his presence known gamut tells Bella that he's been hired
to take back everything that the boudros stole but if he's paid double you probably won't do it
Marion enters the room the tension is high in all hell breaks loose when Marion orders of the
vanisher twins to kill him gambit uses an orange like a grenade and disappears in the explosion
I don't know why they did this is going to be confusing all three vanisher twins just yeah
okay they call them the vanisher twins but there's a total of three of them okay that's all the
explanation I got all right I was trying to find out if this was something in X-Men right there is
a character I believe that goes under the name vanisher but it's just one person it's one person
with one name that's it so this fabricated for the movie okay okay the vanisher twins they disappear
and Bella grabs a gun gamut runs through the house trying to avoid the twins when suddenly they appear
in his way they get stuck in the bathroom gambit using anything he can get his hands on he explodes
while the twins continue to beat the shit out of him gamut charges a bath mat that all three of them
are standing on and they disappear before it explodes gamut uses the opportunity to jump out of the
window and into a hedge maze okay the twins get lost immediately gambit spots a pink Cadillac
and hot wires it Bella has her gun pointed at him she's ordered to shoot and at the last second
she points the gun slightly away from gambit and misses gambit drives away spots his brothers
picks them up and takes off in a pink Cadillac and a pink Cadillac another mutant known as
Richter chases them down the street on a motorcycle and we got a car chase through the streets of
New Orleans gamut starts throwing anything he finds in the car out the window and Richter jodges
all the explosions that are being thrown at him that's such a good thing right gambit has an idea
and crashes into the police station oh good he gets out and surrenders to the cops the budros turn
around and stop their pursuit Marian orders her assistant to round up fiefelay to get rid of gambit
we don't know who that is but this is bad news bears oh fiefelay is that another mutant we just don't know
that one is an actual mutant yes gambit henry and charlie are escorted through the prison
as they walk through gambit casually greets other prisoners he knows from his past
they get to the holding cell and henry starts to feel withdrawals gambit grills him on what he's
taking and turns out he's taking those green pills it's a pill that turns you temporarily into a mutant
out meanwhile marian's assistant goes to the fishing docks to hire fiefelay
this is how he's described i did not make this up a tattooed Chinese mutant in ghostly gaysha makeup
he looks vaguely like an old kung fu master hunched over in peeling trimp with his long fingernails
the assistant pours out a bag of stolen loot but he doesn't care
he then pulls out a machine and drops some shrimp into it it's an automatic shrimp peeler
fiefelay agrees to go what that was the thing he wanted was an automatic shrimp peeler don't we all
kind of yeah we cut to fiefelay walking through the prison electricity flows through his fingertips gambit
does not notice before he's electrocuted knocked to the ground and is beaten he stopped when a man
whistles off screen we pan up to reveal Nathan s6 and next to him Alice Alice casually pulls out a gun
and slides it across the floor she smiles at fiefelay and puts her finger to her temple
fiefelay picks up the gun and shoots himself in the head whoa yep we want there oh yeah
okay s6 uses telepathy with the help of Alice to talk with gambit gambit assumes that this is the
guy who hired him in that he's a drug dealer sx corrects him he is the one that hired him but he's
not a drug dealer he's a geneticist he says that because of a stunt the birdrose are now taking his
trunk and pharmaceuticals to a more secure location in the conversation sx states quote remy i heard
you because i wanted an artist i see so much potential in you if you had some discipline you could
be one of the most powerful mutants the world has ever seen with great power comes great responsibility
yeah that's what superman said madamwab actually oh right i forgot her mom went down to study mutants
in the jungle in the jungle of Peru in founsonic to save on time and explanation
Alice unloads the plan into gambit's mind we get a quick flash of a truck with a trunk inside of it
with excesses stolen stuff it's on a way to a new location in a gag shot we see gambit's brothers
observing the silent conversation that's actually also really fun that's hilarious back to the
conversation we learn that we only have four days to pull this off sx leans into the light
and for the first time we see a diamond shaped scar on his forehead for the nerds in the audience
you will recognize sx by his alter ego mr sinister oh this is something that was brought up in the
wolverine origins thing is like for whatever dumb reason we cannot use their superhero names
we can only call them by all right because he's like wolverine and Logan yeah we never actually
hear deadpool they might have mentioned but like they do at some point but they only call him
Wade Wilson and then the column experiment x yeah i think he says his name is deadpool or something
yeah okay Wade whatever and this is the same way they're using their real names right they're not
using their government names right they're not using their made up names yeah doctor strange
oh using their made up names sx explains that the pills are meant to be taken by humans so that
they may become mutants too to end the discriminations towards mutants if everyone is the same gambit
ass what would happen if he didn't take the job Alice sends him images of everyone he knows
dead and gambit agrees to do the job yeah that'll do it that'll seal the deal
budros thugs unload crates of stolen loot from cargo vans and store it into an old gambling house
there is security everywhere marianne overlooks the operation and she sees a specific middle trunk
and she orders them to take it around back marianne's assistant arrives and tells her someone
intervened marianne gives a speech to three of the thugs about family and loyalty fast acts
they seem to be on board but then she really tests them when she asks Bella to search their minds
the third thug gives a tell and then he starts to piss himself oh my god the others are
ordered to hold him down and as Bella and marianne are walking away the other thugs and
gun down the traitor in the background this is our rated film it definitely is marianne tells
Bella that she thinks gambit will thwart their plans but he does have one weakness and asked if she
can read his mind to get the plans Bella creates an astral projection of herself and her consciousness
leaps from body to body and eventually to henry's wife who is on her way home from the grocery store
meanwhile gambit is trying to convince henry to help him on the job henry's hesitant but agrees to
join the two cook up a plan and agree that they need a team of mutants to help pull this off the plan
is all heard by Bella in henry's wife's body that's not astral projection works though because she would
project herself it's just like a visual for the audience to see like she can body jump yeah like her
soul has left her body or like whatever and like enters into another body to be like you can
kind of like take over yeah from that person so it's the best way to describe it as like that
for visual effects for like anyone who's going through and be like what is it gonna look like
when the scoop souls got mixed up yeah otherwise it would just be like I'm in a new body now I'm
in a new body now yeah but she's not creating no no it would be something that we would see as an
audience but around her no one else would see right yeah so they need mutants to help with this team
they find a 21 year old girl Danny creating a demon illusion at a church to help
it prescare the parishioners into giving more money they go to her place and she demonstrates
her illusionist powers to gambit illusions and she's in gamut and henry follow two other mutants
Jamie Madrox and mask known as the four man reckoned crew as they rob a gun store and a jewelry store
before entering the jewelry store jewelry mask touches Jamie's face and Jamie's face contorts
into a completely different person and two identical clones eject out of his back they proceed with
the robbery but gambit steps in and stops it and points out that the vault is on a timer
so it can't be opened during business hours and all the diamonds that are on display all of them are
fake what these are definitely inexperienced people yeah we cut to the crew going over the plan
Alice stops by to give gambit a case of money they're going to steal the vault during the thieves ball
during the mega Alan yes and they're going to sneak in dressed as caterers oh yes so yeah
henry suggests they get mystique to help with the mission since they just saw her on tv but gambit says
there's no time and no one knows mystique so how are we going to do that we see mask is looking a bit ill
and that's because he's been possessed by Bella she's watching we cut to the French quarter everyone
is celebrating marty growl through the square outside the French quarter is the palace of chance
not a real place not real where they are holding the thieves ball oh my god it is the met gala
the crew is dressed as caterers and henry secretly takes a mutant pill marion puts out a hit
on the catering van the thugs rip off the door and they reveal actual caterers inside it was all a
switcheroo yeah the actual crew arrives in the back entrance and reveal that their outfits are
actually for roadies to help the storyville singers in their orchestra nice some of the members are
actually in on it and they hand the crew marty grott mass to help disguise them and that's why we have
these masks right here to disguise ourselves yeah because we're one of the met gala later to the
members the team feels lied to begamit says that they are dealing with a psychic and if he had told
them the plan ahead of time the heist would be compromised he hand them all envelopes with time
steps on them when the time comes that's when they open the envelope and do what's instructed
oh this is so cool this is really cool also if someone asked me right now how you describe the gambit
movie it's Romeo and Juliet meets oceans eight yeah it is just so good two of the envelopes can be
open immediately Jamie goes to the shop and plays cards henry and gambit climb out the window and
we enter into the lobby filled with criminals yeah they also mention in there like amongst the
criminals that you see in like gangs and whatnot they're making cameos from like other x-men movies
okay that makes sense that's a good tie-in it doesn't feel forced no and it just shows like
everything is connected marianne is scrambling to try and find gambit and his crew she tells
Bella to do whatever it takes to take him down gambit and henry are up on the cat walk while an
auction is happening marianne takes the mic and announces to the crowd that there is an uninvited guest
remy la bow and there's an offer of one million dollars bounty this forces gambit to abandon his
original plans and improvise yeah throw those timestamps and billops that's sad those were a cool
plot device yeah Bella is using her astral projection to jump from body to body and search for gambit
Bella's body lays on the ground in an opera box so whenever she like takes the consciousness of
other people her body is just lifeless yeah whenever she does this i've seen charmed
so she's laying in a box and suddenly she's awakened by a tap on the shoulder it's gambit hello
gambit needs some insight on what he's stealing and in exchange she gets to intrude his thoughts
she states that what they stole were drugs and that's pretty much all she knows now Bella gets
to go inside of gambit's mind we see all the sad moments of him in his childhood in the time they
kissed at the police station we see the bank robbery gone wrong from gambit's point of view
and how Bella let him down lastly we see remy and bella happily together this was gambit's aspirations
and the two start to make out as such a sweet moment as gambit gets handsy with bella he finds knives
on her and gets rid of them and he slips something into her back pocket without noticing
it's a love letter but this was all a ruse gambit zip ties Bella to the bedposts and Alice steps in
with a pistol pointed at her hold up the memories were ruse no no talking to her getting her on his
side yeah yeah letting down her guard and then right but those memories are real those memories are
real yeah but painful very painful so Alice steps in pistol pointed her gambit leaves with Alice
watching over bella Danny opens her envelope and she climbs down a laundry shoot in lands on a pile
of linens and reunites with gambit and henry marianne's assistant returns to the opera box and fine
bella is missing marianne orders more minions to go into the basement to find gambit
Alice and bella have a psychic face off bella breaks free from her zip ties and they fight
but since they can read each other's thoughts they are blocking and dodging each other's strikes
oh my god that's really good ummm Bella puts the thought of henry eating fried chicken on the toilet
in her head and Alice sees it and catches her off guard bella uses the opportunity to kick Alice
out of the window and she falls toward death oh yeah man that fried chicken really making a return
right i did not see that happening no i did not see that coming check off fried chicken check
come spread chicken amazing yes bellic grabs Alice's gun and leaves back in the basement the team spots
in inventory being holed into a freight elevator marianne's assistant and the other minions are with him
Danny conjures up an illusion of julien now zombie like to scare them julien tells the assistant
that his death was not his fault and he should be leaving the family suddenly more dead figures from
these criminals pass pop up and give emotional closure to them the distraction works and the team
makes their way into the vault they find the trunk and open it they're interrupted when bella enters
hold in the gun at henry's head holding his fried chicken yes she lowers the gun when she sees what's
inside the trunk it's a young mutant girl this is Sarah she's just figured with black eyes and
bones jutting out of her face like horns fans would know her as maro maro maro this is an actual
mutant yes okay this is the girl that scared gambit as a kid when he ran into storm filled only she
never aged meanwhile Danny is starting to loose focus and it's becoming harder to maintain the
illusions marianne's assistant breaks it from the illusion and finds the team bella is furious at him
now that she knows that her mom was trafficked mutant children she orders him to get into the
trunk the girl was in and he refuses and henry punches him with his mutant strength in knocks him out
right into the trunk i love it bella and gambit seem to be on the same side yeah because you don't
traffic children yeah but she hits them because of his previous mind games right the team and bella
escape the thugs wake up from the illusions and start chasing them down they manage to escape
up the elevator and opens into the lobby and everyone goes silent when they see gambit
and henry has to ask we got an envelope for this it's a good block that's a really great block
device marianne speaks up and asks bella to come here and she refuses marianne states that the
bounty is still on just as the criminals are about to attack gambit tosses a bunch of gold coins
into the crowd the criminals reach for the coins when suddenly they all begin to explode
they make their way to the double doors gambit tossing cards exploding a path to free them
marianne watches from above and grabs a shotgun they're about to step out the doors when they see cops
have arrived a shotgun blasts near them enforces the team to turn around it's marianne
pointed at gun at them bella points out her mom's hypocrisy and says you're fine with the mutants
as long as they make you rich she replies actually i always thought you were one of the good ones
him on the other hand she points at gun a gambit and fires Sarah steps in front of gambit and takes
the hit the room goes silent Sarah begins to heal just like Wolverine and Deadpool and breaks off one
of the spikes and throws it at marianne and pilling her in the leg bella takes over her mom's body
she makes her walk outside and surrender to the cops saying that she stole everything
yeah that's how you use it billis snaps back into herself and is now the new head of the family
she orders gambit to get Sarah out of there they escape jumping from rooftop to rooftop we cut to
mask and jamey in danney's place it's ten thirty time to open the final envelope
yeah gambit henry and danney make their way into the marty growl crowd the cops are closing in on them
gambit decides to take them to storyville we see jamey and mask setting up hundreds of fireworks
and from a boom box they blast nineteen ninety nine by prince this is a quote in the script i think this
is just like a note to the producers it says i was dreaming when i wrote this forgive me if it goes
astray when gambit reaches them mass changes jamey to look like gambit and he duplicates himself
over a hundred times yeah fireworks launched into the air and gambit clones are dancing to prince
the police have no idea what to do and they just give up they all meet up at danney's place
and gambit pays them out about a half million dollars each you guys are getting paid
i was just thinking about the scene with all of the gambits and i feel like
the deadpool three writers red that script yeah also him being a dancer they have tried to find any
and every opportunity for him to dance for channing danham yeah yeah so like there's the part where he
and belladana or at the dance floor gravitating each other there's even the part where he's
robbing the lou when he turns on the blue box he's also dancing in that as well so like that has
any excuse yeah but like that's not a gambit that's a channing danham it is exactly a channing
it's saying hey you were in step-up in a magic mic yeah we got to show you those skills somehow
it's becoming a chicken or the egg what came first in the lore was it channing danham or was a gambit
always channing danham gambit henry and syra are left alone syra cleans herself up gambit asks how old she
is she doesn't know gambit asks where she lives and she says with mistrassex they don't know where
that is obviously syra pulls out a picture and hands it to gambit he can't believe it it's a photo
of syra with her parents the same parents as young gambit in his photo they're siblings what plot
twist i can honestly say did not see that gambit is furious he's been lied to his whole life
in syra just wants to go back but gambit is not sure it's a good idea the next day gambit and
syra arrive at the sx compound syra goes through a series of security procedures to enter when
they're cleared a melody place melody that gambit whistled unknowingly as a kid this place is all too
unfamiliar and yet familiar to gambit it's raspberry beret they walk through the compound
and it's filled with rows of little houses children are running around happy in celebrating
martygra gambit spots a set of columns those were the columns from his and syra's picture one of the
nurses pipes up and says look reme's back over the pa the children are told to return some of them
go into the houses and the others including syra go to the medical building gambit continues to
follow her he witnesses mutants being cared for some of them are getting blood and tissue samples
drawn from them syra safely brought back to the cradle she came from gambit continues through the
building and stops to see a door with a diamond in two dots around it a symbol that gambit has
doodled when he was young he tries to open the door but it's locked he charges the handle and blows
the door open an alarm goes off and gambit hurries down the stairwell down further he sees incubators
filled with newborn mutants scientists are taking blood and tissue samples but then he sees them
injecting something into them gambit bangs on the window and yells what do you do into those kids
exx is monitoring gambit through the security cameras he takes a black pill in anticipation of meeting
gambit gambit is seething running through the hallways in his hand he's charging up a card he
birthings the birthing room and their gambit finds s6 holding a newborn and gambit backs down
exx defuses the situation and thanks him for bringing back syra gambit notices the newborn has no
belly button gambit threatens to destroy the compound and whatever exx is doing here
exx tells gambit a story about the first kid in the program he was actually one of his own
a child that was sick all the time when exx looked at the child he felt nothing he thought he would
grow to love him but no so exx decided to experiment on him the child had bad blood inside him
and he was certain that he wouldn't live past four he gave him up and left the child by the river
and it's implied that gambit is that sick child what he ends the villain monologue by saying
you've always had a darkness in you now you know where it comes from me gambit throws a card at
exx but exx stops the card telekinetically and redirects it into the wall gambit gets angrier
with each card he throws and becomes more destructive exx gives him an offer gambit works for him
and will learn to control his powers or exx will make sure gambit is punished for every crime he has
ever committed gambit's eyes turn jet black oh he throws a final card as the guards take him out with
either guns or tasers the card limply hits the ground we cut to the New Orleans courtroom there we
are paying for all of his crimes gambit is on the witness stand giving a statement and owning up
to what he's done in a twist he points out the real criminal is exx for exploiting the mutants
from storyville the mutants no one cared about gambit is put into contempt exx is brought up to the
stand in states that remiel abose testimony is false gambit is brought back to the court and he's
found guilty for attempted murder and is sentenced to 50 years in prison who do you attempt to murder
exx ex steps out of the courtroom feeling victorious suddenly a child hands him an envelope
three photos inside their headshots the bailiff into security guards there's actors
exx gets a call from someone informing him that he's being robbed we cut to a flashback of Henry
Jamie and Bella running a heist with her crew when exx entered the courtroom the two security guards
took his keys and while he was going through the metal detector they put it in putty to make a copy
of them the keys were given to the vanisher twins to unlock the doors at the exx mansion
they are robbing the place of everything exx calls one of his employees in demands that they do not
open the gate in the in places but you just open the gate
when exx put his hand on the bible turns out that was a fingerprint scanner and the recording
of his voice by saying his name that was his password oh my god that was really dumb of him
mask was able to transform Jamie into exx and they use latex skin to put his fingerprints on him
we watch as the crew gets past the gate Bella in her crew holds up the exx henchmen at gunpoint
and they start destroying the machines Bella finds Sarah and takes her exx entered
ah man sx is such a hard word to say sx sx how is it spelled
e s s e x and that's like you said in nerdom that's mr. sinister okay and then I just said
sx exits sx exits the courtroom you gotta do that one again sx exits the courtroom and is met with a
nosy reporter named chris clairemont this is laynaud to the creator of gambit he's asked about the hundreds
of mutants that are suddenly just showing up and saying that they're from his facility sx has no
comment sx goes to see gambit in a holding cell gambit all of a sudden turns into mystique and slips
out the window we did know mystique after all she gets into the car and in the front seat are henry
and gambit they all arrive at the broodrose gambit admits to henry that this was a great plan
henry pulls out some mutant pills it throws them away he doesn't need them anymore
we see the team back together all of them in a much better situation gambit pulls out the engagement
ring that he's been saving since he was a kid and slips it on Bella's finger gambit calls sx and says
you're right dad i'm a bad man we cut to the crew party and we end the movie with a bollywood style dance
number
i was there though why bollywood just to get chanting tame jadans again any excuse to get
chanting to them to dance they will do it is bollywood is singing new orlits because there's now really
you wouldn't do like a big band dance number down bourbon street that feels more something i
didn't include just because it was like background music and such is like every once in a while you
get a street band and yeah like not like when the saints come marching in in a big band like that
i enjoy bollywood this does not feel like it fits the theme i think they just said bollywood just
to be like a choreographed dance number or whatnot but it's not going to be like proper i want it like
you know when queer i was in Louisiana and they just would like dance down the street that's what i
want i think it's just mostly like everyone together lets us do a dance number together do the gambit
yeah gambit the solo adventure ummm what do you think
i want to watch this movie i do too i think now that we've seen how funny it is i'd love josh
hollowing that's a different movie this is chanting tatam yeah and i think that's why i wanted you to
watch Logan lucky yes because it is him in the time that he would have been doing this movie pulling off
a heist because we were talking about hold chanting tatam is and i don't think he's too old i don't
think so either and i think lizy cappelin is bella is still really good yeah i don't know fox marvel
who needs to hear it but that is a lot of fun and i'm a sucker for heist movies i'm also a sucker
for a heist movie there's a lot of bait and switch in this it really does remind me of oceans a
just a wee bit yeah i think the only scene that i would cut is the fever dream of a bunch of gambits
just because we have had deadpool and that was so recent with all of the deadpools to have on hand
no this is also like before yeah a hundred percent but i mean like if we're doing it now
i would cut that for a time there was a scene that i had cut just because it didn't seem relevant
when they're like we need to put it together a team of mutants there's a scene where Henry and gambit
they go down to i think they didn't have the meeting at cafe de mull they find one of those like
human statues like performers yes yes yes and he's an actual mutant who can speed up time around him
oh that's fine like he can manipulate time so can he slow himself down which is why he's
why he's a statue and they go to meet him and they're like hey do you know any mutants that we can
get in contact with for a job i'm like i don't think we need to do that and the problem that i found
with it is like because gambit is so tied in with especially when you saw it like in the prison
like see so tied in with people of storyville um the link with all that stuff like i think he would
know where to go yeah i like the use of a street performer but like he has to join the team it's not
can you show us it's will you come be a part of this team yeah the fact that he wasn't part of the
team which is why i didn't include that scene yeah that doesn't that lifts right out yeah you're
not connected anybody a lift right out i enjoyed that pull and will learn don't get me wrong i think
it's fun i think it harkens back to an older time of boy stuff and like i like emekorin as
like the big bad but this is fun this is a really good team movie what i was shocked with because
chaining tateum just like while waiting for this movie to happen went on to do Logan lucky with
steven sodaberg i'm surprised he wasn't like hey steven sodaberg stevey boy i'm trying to put together
a heist movie and we want you on a team are you in you son of a bitch i'm in i mean maybe it's
very possible because sodaberg's never done a marvel right oh i wonder if maybe he just doesn't
want to get caught up in that system that's what i was thinking because steven sodaberg is very much
one of those people that's like i do a movie for me and that's magic mic and then i do a movie for
the studio that's oceans movies yeah but that's what i mean like we haven't had an oceans movie in a while
so maybe instead of doing an oceans movie he takes one for the marvel team you know i'm saying
yeah steven sodaberg if you're out there we've got a cast we've got a story yeah from what i'm seeing
he i don't think i don't think he's ever touched the marvel machine he hasn't done any of that nor
has he done a superhero movie this is also around the time where marvel was figuring out i think
X-Men figured it out first where you can't just rely on the Superman comic book superhero formula
like we figured that out when we did Superman the richer donner Superman and that is the exact
formula that we did in Iron Man and then we just started repeating that over and over and over again
and now we see it especially with marvel movies tv shows it's like well what if you took a type of
movie a genre and then you just inserted superheroes in it right and we got this with Deadpool with
it being a romantic comedy we got it with Logan that is a western movie right and then this would have
completed the trifect of gambit the heist film but even if you think of like one division
very genre specific or even agatha all along it's no longer a superhero movie or tv show it is a
genre because you're taking out the superhero the super strength the not human part they become
10 times more relatable yeah and gambit was like what i'm imperfect for that because he does have a lot
of darkness behind him he is we're sort of swinging back into that a little like Deadpool 3 is about
him wanting to save his people right yep and it's become sort of like you're my buddy it's buddy cop
movie not really a superhero movie no yeah buddy cop is the best way to describe it i don't know what
the movie had turned into because apparently like this script was oh right this is only number two
yeah this is apparently the one that they were not happy with oh and then they turned it into the
R-rated romantic comedy with some thieving i think this was ahead of its time because this was 20 is this
the 2015 one this is 2015 is when it was written where were we in superhero lore so this would have
been like the transition to the new era which is days of future pass which then rewrites xman history
and basically they could take that and just like shove it to the side and be like we can create our
own right new lore because of days of future past oh okay so 2015 superhero movies fantastic
four which tanked and then 2015 was amp man which solo film did really well and then the other one
was Avengers Age of Ultron so you have a team up movie but i would say amp man and age of Ultron while
successful were very we are a superhero movie they weren't flipping anything and then Deadpool came
out a year after Deadpool was 2016 Deadpool i would say skirts right it gets still a superhero movie
it's also a romantic comedy but i think like if you look at Deadpool and Wolverine that steers hard
into the buddy cop realm and this is where they finally understood like oh we can actually make
our own type of movie just include these characters in it because then a year after Deadpool we got
Logan yeah and Logan i don't feel a lot of similarities with Logan as to anything we've ever done ever
it feels like there's no ounce of superhero in that when i know that there is but it doesn't feel like
it it's kind of like the later years of western select the unforgiven type of westerns where it's like
you have someone who regrets everything and just trying to hang on to whatever little they have
and this is our last chance to be a hero yeah but yeah then with gambit like the fact that they got
delayed at first i think is to their advantage because then you have an audience who's primed to
scene Deadpool scene Logan these are rated superhero movies and they're like well i think we
could do the same i think if it would have come out in 2015 it wouldn't have landed the same way no we
hadn't hit like superhero for t yet yeah and i think what i mentioned before like how they just
gone straight for this film because it seemed like a lot of this movie they were also trying to do
what they were doing with origins they're still reimagining what superheroes are like on the big
screen and not necessarily pulling from the comics so there were many instances where like like i said
they're all using their government names they're not really saying they're they're superhero names
like even in the script i know that whenever gambit headlines it would say gambit says this whenever
anyone was talking to him it would be like rummy right they would say his his full name we even saw
with mr sx actually the part where i mentioned that this is mr sinister that was my insert right
that was not in the script it's a clever thing they're trying to be like do you know who this is yeah
which is fine i like the idea of just like leaning into what is known in the comics if you're trying
to make a costume for a character like try to be as faithful as you can to what is in the comics i
also think the multiverse has been both good and bad but i think the good part is like we saw in
Deadpool you can sort of universe jump so chanting tatam like how did that version get to the void
is that the same version that would be in the movie is that a different one and then you have two
gambits talking to each other and that's funny like yeah and i think now that you do have the multiverse
it creates a lot of freedom yes because then you're not trying to tie everything together and said
you're just be like we're gonna be in this universe and we're just gonna tell this story and you
can do the same thing with gambit where like gambits just like in this universe or have a Jennifer
Grunner play mariann and he's like hey i don't know you and so you can just make your own gambit
story and then you can still make it a high-speed like you have to lean into that but that also makes
him unique we have not had a theme in story mm-hmm fast and furious did it right but i mean like in
the grand scheme of superhero things the thing that people seem to be really loving now is when
it's a different genre or a different like archetype and so now almost feels like the time for that
yeah chanting tadem if you need directors we're free the fact that shon levy and ryan Reynolds like
left it open to be like guys you still alive that i'm so glad you sent me that and we're like one more
thing like watch this before that shot alone fits that story yes of course he would live no but i
mean it fits this script oh yeah like there is an essence of the that person in what he's playing
and you can tell yeah the only thing that i don't understand now that we've actually said it is
is like staff because in deadpool in over him he's got purple magic doesn't have the red eyes like he
has in this and in the cartoon in this he didn't have he doesn't have a staff and i think that's also
another product of like we're not going to copy pace from the comic book we're gonna make him his
own thing i just don't think he needs it i don't think so either like is it made of kinetic energy
because that's cool well he it's like where he's harniston yeah the way he uses the staff is very much
like that where he can like charge it but it doesn't become the thing that explodes he's able to like
shoot kinetic energy out of it or like transfer it like if he needs like poke something far away
he can use the staff to like oh so he can yeah he it's a telescoping staff that he charges in this
case like he just didn't really have it yeah i don't miss it the first one you could even have the
stakes be higher right and he's has been in love with Bella this whole time and you could kill her off
at the end knowing that rogue comes along yeah but also like what happens if he's just part of the
X-Men right but i mean with the deadpool part that is his love story and if you don't want to cross
the streams of those you could i don't want to kill her off she sounds great but yeah and you
feel a lot more sympathy for Bella Donna whereas like in the yes you don't know in that one episode
that you saw you're just like "Bell and Donna is pretty awful" it took me a second viewing to be like
what's happening for that to be a children's card dude i'm like you guys had no idea what was going
on there's so much that happens in that like 20 minutes yeah like i just summed it up i watched it
i think three times to be like i definitely did not get this story straight it is like you know
the thieves and the assassins are against each other but like then there's the tithe and i'm like
why why kid knows what that means other than us who went to
calyxcool it's very mature it's very mature it's a very complicated and you just have like
just little kids watching and be like i just want to see like big muscular people fight each other
came home from work the other day and billi's asking me about a tie like what i'm glad you hadn't
been watched that episode i do like that it is the romio and julie edibit i do yeah the forbidden love
story i think that's kind of what rogue represents as well where it's like he's going after someone who
is literally untouchable you would feel for him so much because whatever happens to get him to rogue
obviously belidana is on the picture anymore so then he lost his first love regardless of his death
fight whatever and then he finally musters up the courage to fall in love with someone else
and they can't touch he's like cursed when it comes to love but he's gonna make a good joke about it
also you could play with caro cards in a very fun way yeah
something that i was kind of disappointed in the script and i think this is just a product of
me just always watching the x-men series you saw x-men 97 i haven't watched the new one
okay in that one mr. sinister is like the main big bad he's a big bad in the comics too right
yes but in x-men 97 the tv series like he becomes the main big bad i think you can either change the
character it doesn't have to be s6 or if you do you have to like somehow show that he got away with it
so they can pull off the heist but like he's got something in his back pocket to like keep going
because he is so incredibly powerful and in this case it seems like they downplayed his abilities
yeah like he was just a doctor creating a bunch of mules for the fans who know mr. sinister
who knows the x-6 corporation like it is a big deal he also can shape shift oh man if he killed
Bella but shape shifted into her and then like that's how you start gambit
yeah because powers are telepathy what's pre-cognition contact with the future psychic phenomena seeing
the future if he can see the future he could stop it all he also has the regenerative thing do any
of them not regenerate oh he gained his powers by studying the genomes he's at the beginning of his
own origin story in this too yeah i'm just kind of disappointed that they downplayed that much
oh his name is doctor Nathaniel sx oh okay yeah in the script his abilities are extremely
downplayed he just seems like an evil scientist yeah so what i would like to see as a change in the script
is for the focus to be on the budros and just the betrayal that gambit felt by belidana's mom
and just like taking down the family and then belidana just like takes over the family after that
and be like happy ending i would be very happy with that and then afterwards the post credit scene
where sx comes up to him and be like hey i got a job for you i don't mind the sx that they put in
there i like it as again his own sort of origin story we don't know enough about him at that point
he seems just like that is a mean dude according to the also quit google is that his child died
i like the gambit sx connection also if Sarah is the little girl in the trunk are we saying that
Sarah and gambit are related or are we saying that s6 is just creating children in this lab
it seems like he is creating in the lab and using his own dna to make that happen i mean it's super
messed up i don't think the clashing families is enough like this can't be standalone there's too
much packed in there's a good first movie i think something needs to be done differently about sx
like they need to set him up to be like the fanos yeah i mean i think they do that can remain it's the same
but you need a post credit or something that he's not dead he can shape shifts so if they have this
magical moment of reuniting and then it's like betladyana and the again in the shower yeah
you just the glance in the mirror you see that it's him and not heard because they've already done it once
that's enough of a setup yeah i mean overall it's really good i think maybe if it was just like a different
or it could should have been a different character entirely yeah i don't think we've ever seen sinister
though have we on film well we get the s6 corporation in one of the post credit scene he is not
okay so i like that we're using him and he sounds as big of a bad as thanos and we didn't see thanos
for a long time striker that's what it should have been striker striker striker is the mad scientist
who created Wolverine have we seen him in a movie before yes well then i don't want it he's been in like
every x-men movie oh see the no i think that's what they were going for was like maybe striker might have
been in the original but like you brought up is like he's been in everything we can't keep on using
striker they use the characteristics of striker and put into mr sinister and that's not who mr
sinister is mr sinister is a genetic scientist though and on to he was doing a striker genetic
scientist yes well then you've got too many genetic scientists but the difference is striker is not
immune where mr sinister is oh then that's the tag revelation he somehow gets away with it like
and you could even not give him the diamond and let i mean s6 obviously mean sinister
but you could sort of morph them together and then until the tag you don't really know
which one it is i don't mind that yeah something you could have done because we see him like take the
pill but he takes a black pill so he might just be powering up instead yeah because he has such an array
of different abilities it would be interesting to be like he has manufactured ways for him to like
take on those many abilities almost like the secret invasion like he's like oh i would like the hoax
powers so yeah yeah yeah so you can do something like that that's just a wall of vials see this is how
you do it we're available yes we can workshop this we can do this happy to i think it's a really
good movie it is a really great movie i love the twist mm-hmm here's how well the twist worked for me
i watched online someone did like a really fast like five minute summary of what happened in the
script i knew that there was a little girl mutant that they find left my mind entirely i read it
in the script and it still shocked me when he sees the girl at the beginning she's check off
little mutant for me and i was like okay it's either rogue or she got to come back around i didn't see
her being in the trunk i didn't see that i didn't see the child trafficking angle coming up yeah brilliant
even the uh Henry on the toilet with fried chicken that i don't need but i'm sure it's a good gag
yeah it was funny and they used it it was something that you just never expected to pay off
and somehow it did no i felt like it was a grotesque thing that they had thrown in and the second time
you're sort of like a fine fine use it between the like you cannot traffic little mutants and the
underwater city clearly being an allegory for hurricanes they are really pushing conversation
pieces into a summer blockbuster which i always enjoy yeah it's i wouldn't say subtle but it's
not spoon feeding which i also appreciated what's also nice is like this is a smaller movie
yeah this is an world ending stakes it's a revenge heist i mean it's oceans 13 like a robbed
robber right back the plot like we lied to you this is really the heist that we're doing reminds me of
oceans eight when they open the refrigerator and i like we stole way more than anybody thought and i
was like oh yeah something that didn't pay off though and i look for it everywhere and i was like maybe
i missed it was gambit and belladana can't see with each other in the opera box and he slips
something into her pocket into her pocket oh yeah right i got so taken aback with everything
forgot about that yeah it doesn't come up again put that in the tag you didn't say anything about
the note i put in each she's like what no it's not in her pocket and sinister i was really hoping
that it was the engagement ring i thought it was like a note it just as he slips something he
slips something into her back pocket we don't know what it is yeah that is sweet he loved her anyway
he didn't like messing with her yeah i was really hoping that it was like the engagement ring that he
slipped into her pocket yeah that would be great i feel like that was put in there and the writer
was like i'll figure it out later this is not the final draft i'll deal with that later and just
like just didn't happen so because she's a mutant too yeah belladana yes but her mother is not
no i guess she could have been created right mutants can be created they're born with them
they're born with it and there are instances where just like hermani mutants can be born of humans
of muggles okay because i was like are we alluding to the fact that sinister created her too and i was
like don't make them okay great no belladana is her own thing great as someone who doesn't know the
lore i was like i just need this cleared up real quick yeah let's do it let's make it happen
chanting let's shoot this taedum we don't know who your representatives are because you let them go but
and we don't have any and lizi will give lizi a call okay i'll give her a text right now
i think we can move on to recommendations yeah presence presence the horror movie that is from the
perspective of the ghost who i really would like to see it i also love Chris Sullivan who was in
this is us is tobi and he narrates the trailer or like it's his voiceover but tobi was this very like fun
loving like prankster and so for him to be in a horror movie is to me like a big switch for him
he was in guardians of the galaxy oh god it's gonna bug me but i'm really excited to see him like
use his acting traps because i know he has them by listening to the podcast that was us i just
i think he's a real cool dude and it has lucy loo i think they're the parents
but it looks really scary taser face that's who he was in guardians of the galaxy yes so yeah that's my
wreck my blind wreck okay and if you're willing to pay me go see better man with the monkey
that is not what i like the plot twist i'm not recommending see better man what's crazy to me about
better man here's my idea no one acknowledges it that he's monkey have you seen it i've not oh you don't
know then maybe they do they don't the reviews have said like okay no one does because the idea is
that robby william sees himself as like a performing monkey and he betrays himself and that's why
they spent over a hundred million dollars to like CGI him the whole time right but at this point
all of cg and what a i will use is a library and we have lots of monkeys in a library as terrible as
that sounds but that's definitely what skyrocketed the budget yeah and not making a straight biopic
biopic i don't know who he is robbilliams yeah he's a british pop star okay what is he saying i don't know
i mean that with all the love in the world clearly he has a fan base but this is brand new information
to me so maybe i should see it and learn something and i'm all for creativity so while this doesn't
jump out as my cup of tea i'm glad they tried something new other than a straight biopic but they
swung for the fences they did they swung for the fences they swung really hard you're not gonna know
any of these songs so what's baffling about like most of the reviews for it so many of them say once
you get past the fact that he's a monkey that he's a monkey then you're really gonna enjoy the movie and
i'm just like what's the monkey for why go through that trouble why are you doing this i like i like the
metaphor that he's a performing monkey i would prefer him to morph into one i need that metaphor to
be less subtle i think if he were to like look at himself in the mirror and seize himself as a monkey
yes okay and then outside of it and it's like you know just plain old robbilliams or if he can only
see his own personal reflection like the world sees him as a performing monkey but he's actually a person
yeah maybe like that yeah but i'm just like baffled by everyone who's like this is an amazing movie
if you don't think about the monkey and it's like isn't the monkey the point point listen what do we do in here
i am all for an original story i am all for doing something different than what the machine is putting
out but yes i have similar questions yeah knowing that now i want to see it and keep that in my head
my favorite meme that's come out of it it's the madman meme between
don draper and peggy where she's like but no one in america is gonna know who robby williams is
yes you've sent me this he was like that's what the monkey is for i want to see it now they've done
their job they did it we're talking about it yep go see better man is that your recommendation is
that your blind wreck because you haven't seen it i mean if you go if i have convinced anyone
you can ask me to go see better man you are just a drop in the bucket at this point so it doesn't
matter do you have another one do you have one you've seen so load of the rings the war over here
um that film was phenomenal like the whole point of the movie is to show like how the helm got its
name like the area yeah if you're a token head i like the how but the book if you're really into
the lore the lore of the rings just or if you like anime right isn't it really pretty yes gorgeous
film and it's not for children there's a lot of violence in them or is this gambit movie no it isn't
because i was in there and there were definitely parents who brought in their kids be like it's a
cartoon cartoon so for kids listen i'm really excited for you to finish the wicked book and then we
can talk about how like maybe check what wicked is before you buy the book for your children like
the reason i say it's not for kids is not just the violence that's part of it but like a lot of the
themes are mature is very mature and i just feel like a lot of the themes that are stated right
over their heads much like the x-men of nineteen yes
