X-Men Origins: Wolverine
ThePQ4:
Oh man.
I just got the entire series from a torrent not too long ago. I haven't seen that episode. I'll have to watch it.
Leonidas:
have you ever tried to throw a playing card?
It doesn't work.
0bsessions:
That.
It's not even something that was a real big thing with Gambit. When Claremont created him, he threw those little icepick looking things. The cards came later on, I think it was an invention of Jim Lee. Honestly, I'm not sure he actually used playing cards at all until around the launch of the second X-Men series.
Then again, when Claremont created Gambit, he was apparently originally intended to be a villain working for Mr. Sinister who would betray the X-Men.
Then again, when Claremont created Sinister, he was actually supposed to be the figment of an extremely powerful mutant's imagination. Said mutant was supposed to have been a child at the same orphanage as Cyclops.
Then again, Marvel took just about every good idea Claremont had in the late eighties and shat all over it.
Cartilage Head:
I guess the only thing is that I really hate Ryan Reynolds.

I like that irony. We're talking about a universe in which people can psychically control the weather, magnetic fields, and other people's minds, where people shoot destructive laser beams out of their eyes and can turn their skin into highly tensile metal at will (and that's just the core characters), where doppelgangers routinely step in and out of alternate dimensions and people routinely die and are resurrected, and we get to say "A guy throwing a playing card? Now that's implausible!" It's good to be a geek sometimes.
Besides, you need to watch more Mythbusters. You can totally throw a playing card, saying you can't is like saying it's impossible to hit a home run.
