There are many X-Men fans who live in the world where
Gambit and Rogue are originally from--the American
Gulf South. Since the hurricanes have struck there
has been devastation that until now could only be in
the imagination of the X-Men writers. Many people
have lost everything and are trying to rebuild their
homes and their lives. (On a personal note, I work
for the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality
in Baton Rouge and I have been assigned to monitor the
demolition of homes in the New Orleans area for the
summer of 2006. It is one of the worst jobs I have
ever had.) Based on the success of the current X-Men
film, would it not be a kindness to give the fans of
the New Orleans area--where Gambit is from-- and the
fans of Mississippi--where Rogue is from--an X-Men
film that would show their hero and heroine in action,
just to get their minds off their troubles, the way a
good movie can? It would even be worth considering to
allow some of the profit of the film go to charities
assisting with hurricane relief. Like the bad guys in
each movie, hurricane season is back. We here in
the bayou are praying we can be spared just long
enough to repair the levees and the coast until we can
think of something better.
