An Introduction to the Remyssance: The Resurgence of Remy LeBeau Popularity in a Pop Culture Context.
Meg and Liv of the Gambitspotting Crew will take you through Gambit's history of appearances and popularity in the 90s, subsequent years as a background player, and recent return to the spotlight through new media such as Deadpool and Wolverine, X-Men '97, Uncanny X-Men (2024), and Marvel Rivals that has sent his popularity catapulting to new levels.
New to the Gambit fandom? Been a ride or die since Day 1? Or just curious about what all the fuss is about surrounding the Ragin' Cajun?
Join us as we discuss the rise, fall, and resurgence of Gambit's popularity as a character. We'll walk through some of his (occasionally spicy?) history including his introduction to the team, eventual sidelining, and more recent appearances across multiple forms of media. What makes his character so appealing and why now? We'll give you our best theories in this overly researched panel presented by two academic nerds with a common obsession.
