After the events of X-Men '97 episode 5, Gambit's death shocks fans and leaves a lasting impact on the series.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Gambit is dead. Long live Gambit . After the tragic events of X-Men '97 episode 5 , fans of the iconic Cajun mutant could be forgiven for thinking the bottom has fallen out of their world. That, sadly, is exactly the intention behind the latest Marvel death.
This episode was intended to be the moment of morbid epiphany for the now-grown-up X-Men: TAS audience, a reflection of the shared traumatic events that can not be ignored as factors of change, even in the brightest moments.
Gambit's death, and indeed the rest of the Genosha tragedy was used in X-Men '97 episode 5 as the catalyst to explore how this world will respond to unprecedented tragedy. Without this scale of devastation, the superhero world and the human world would not have the trigger to come together in a moment of shared grief. Essentially, it needed to hurt for it all to really land.
Since then, Gambit has been neglected badly. No live-action X-Men movie has done him justice, with most of them simply opting out of using him entirely, and when Grant Morrison came along with his New X-Men vision to reinvigorate the brand, Gambit was left behind along with Cable. Apparently, you can be too cool. And as a Gambit fan, that never made any sense, so to see him given centre-stage again, with renewed interest in his complicated Rogue romance in X-Men '97 was like medicine.
The Secret Redemption In Gambit's X-Men '97 Death Gambit Paid For The Red In His Ledger While no character should have to pay for the sins of another multiverse variant, let alone an iteration in an entirely different medium, Gambit's death also came with some atonement.
