Remy went evil? Judging by their costumes... either I didn't watch as much of X-men animated as I thought I did, or I forgot that part O_o

It wasn't in the animated series, it was in the comics. And he got better, but still, that put a major crimp in the relationship xD

Gambit never went fully evil. That was just gimmicky bad writing by bad writers who hated Gambit and his relationship with Rogue. In fact, that whole Apocalypse 'horseman' phase is gone and for gotten now and Gambit and Rogue as still in love despite being apart due to the X-Men no longer existing.

I never ever understood why those pathetic writers thought they had the right to completely butcher Gambit and Rogue's relationship. What was their issue with them? They were one of the top couples ever back in the day and they completely ruined them! wtf was their problem?

The issue is that that Marvel does not like successful couples anymore. They write them like dumb soap opera shows just for extra dramatization which the characters and stories do not need at all or have too much of already. However, over the last 20 years, there has been growing obsession by most writers who which to follow the Chris Claremont model of comic book writing. This was what made the X-Men so popular during the 70's and 80's. By the start of the 1990's, he was losing touch with his own talent by letting all the fame go to his head. His ego began to spoil the quality of his work and did not want to write for the readers but for himself expecting all to buy and like whatever he felt like writing no matter what level of quality and effort he puts into it. Thus, why he was let go of Marvel then until rehired on and off since after Marvel was bought out from a toy company in 2000 and Stan Lee fired from ownership; long before Disney having to come to own Marvel by 2009. Unfortunately, many of today's writers aspire to Claremont's past greatness, but instead follow his later failures as the way things should be. It seems like this gives them excuses for them to act like self-serving jerks and expect to still have their asses kissed. This is mostly today's norm now in comics along with political correctness and fad gimmicks: 'write like shit and do not give a shit what the many true fans want; and you will still sell gold because they are plenty of loyal suckers out them who would eat it all up.' In the case of Gambit and Rogue, Claremont hated them. He wanted Gambit to become a villain and Rogue to be Magneto's lover despite he was starting to build their chemistry together, ultimately building towards a subplot of drama of heart-break and betrayal. Because of how his initial hints of Rogue and Gambit worked out, the a majority of the X-Men fandom back in the 1990's and Marvel itself liked how Rogue and Gambit was going and wanted more. Claremont refused to listen and follow Marvel's orders on this and other details for the X-Men that management wanted instead from the fan's demands. So, Claremont was fired. By the mid-1990's slowly, the minority of Claremont fanatics began to push Marvel into teasing on and off some of Claremont's abandoned ideas into the books' storylines. Since then, it has be wearing away at the Gambit and Rogue fandom as well most of the X-Men story lines and franchise name as a whole where more new people joining in thinking Gambit suck and Rogue should serve Magneto, now worshipped by these fanatics as the Fuhrer of the Mutant 'master race,' to the point that the writers of today have accomplished, in his name, what Claremont failed to do to Gambit and Rogue for years and finally have destroyed them inside and out. All of this done just out of spite and narcissism.

I know and having Gambit as a bad/good guy was really annoying. It's either one or the other. He was written as an ally to the X-Men and is much better off that way. He really didn't cut it as a villain at all, especially when working for Sinister. His romance with Rogue in the animated series and the original comics was just perfection. It was so remarkably realistic. They were such a great and fun couple to watch. It really should have stayed that way. Instead, they made them on and off and finally broke apart, and decided to come with up even more implausible pairings like Magneto and Rogue and Gambit and Polaris. Just leave things how they were! Why mess up such a great story with a lot of potential that could have been another sell-out if they just stuck to their guns instead of messing things up?

Why? Simple. It all comes down to ego. Besides greed, vanity is one of the most powerful of sins.
Al Pachino's character dialogue as the Devil in the movie, Devil's Advocate, easily depicts this.

I admit I'd have liked seeing his character studying how to be in full control of his Death-persona. It could have been an interesting challange. Making good things even with the horseman's power. Maybe they could make the comic last longer. However, it's just one of my strange opinions
(even if I must agree with you: all this horseman-mess was made by anti-Romy or anti-Remy fans

I agree with you, too. Most writers no longer use ideas, or use any ideas for that matter, to do any good for the books and the fans. Just to stroke their own egos now. They do not care anymore because their money now comes from the movies. So, now the books are just their playthings, and if anyone foolishly still buys them, all the better for the hack-job writers financially.

It's sad, because some plots could be more interesting and decent with just a little more of attention. But now many writers don't care about the plot or the development of the character. It's so wrong. I still buy some comics, because here we are a little late compared to current pubblications ( I'm still waiting for the release date of Gambit #1... ), but I don't find the passion in some stories. It's a shame!!

I am sorry and I understand. I do not mean to call fans like you in our countries as fools. I am talking about the fools here in the US who get the books instantly and support the crappy material than any of the good ones, all because they do not know any better of how the old stories and characters prior to the year 2000 was or they are just blind fanatics to the writers and publishers thinking they are infallible God.
Thus, if you love comics for both good art, story, and characterization to get that experience of real fun it once existed, you have to find and collect the old dated book titles.
