Why doesn't Gambit carry around alternative explosive weapons?

Because they're not as cool, simple as that.

Im pretty sure that I've seen him blow shit up other than cards, but it's usually when he's on the ropes.

>>93961759
More like why doesn't he always stock his jacket with a dozen cans of beans?

>>93961759
He's a dandy

>Marbles
>Dice
>Sports Equipment

>Candy
There is plenty of stuff he could use.

>>93961759
He's a fucboi that wants to look cool.

You'll have to propose him a weapong as stylish as cards.

Because a deck of cards gives him 52 projectile weapons and no one looks twice at it. he can pass through any security and no one would care that he has a deck of cars with him

a small bag of marbles/coins/small candies could be easily carried

They are heavier, and cost more than a deck of cards. Also, won't go through metal detectors.

He could easily fit them in the inside of his jacket.

They're not that much heavier, they carry 100 coins vs 52-54 cards. A pack of them cost like a dollar. They're also just coins so no one would question why he's carrying them

Dear Gambit, please stop blowing up all the birds alongside the mansion. You never clean up the mess.

>>93962975
Man, have you ever tried carrying more than one of those things in your pocket? That crap drags your pants hard.

Gambit would be pantsing himself every time he had to move faster than a brisk walk.

>>93962975
they still weigh more and are actually more expensive to use.
he could get 54, 1$ 52 card count decks. That's 2,808 exploding items compared to the 490 coins that are also 50% to 70% smaller than the damn cards.

>>93963081
no one would question the cards either.

>>93963115
Yeah but nobody would question the coins either, so I don't know why that would be a problem.

dude that is both much more heavier and more costly then just 52 sheets of paper/plastic that travel when thrown way easier. Never mind getting them out to use.
>>93963081
>They're also just coins so no one would question why he's carrying them
Yes they fucking would man. A guy wondering around with a few rolls of quarters would raise way more eyebrows than a single deck of cards. Regardless what would they think seeing them "oh this guy must enjoy solitaire" is the biggest thought they have.

I'm crying. Thank you, anon. Thank you, /co/

>>93963181
Why would he carry that much?
400 pennies is 4 rolls vs the 8 packs of cards it would take to carry 400 cards.

>>93963269
ANAD Wolverine isn't too bad, all things considered.
They finally get rid of Laura's trigger scent.
I'd recommend you have a read.

>>93963296
Not to mention he'd have 3 pounds of pennies in his pocket

>Worried about 3 pounds.

>>93963306
Space vs weight?
It's really not that much of a stretch

>>93963218
He's head of the thieve's guild. He's actually one of the richest members of the X-men and he can easily steal new supplies so I don't know why anyone is ever mentioning cost as if it means anything to Gambit resupplying.
He just also presumably knows better than to waste diamonds.

>>93963306
3 pounds isn't really a lot compared to how much more he can carry

Condoms? He looks like the guy who'd need a lot

>>93963296
400 pennies is 8 roles. .50 per role

>>93963301
>They finally get rid of Laura's trigger scent.
Right. Tell me that again after the next writer goes 12 issues without using it.

If you cut Emma's hair while she is in diamond form, could you get an infinite supply of diamonds given she has time to grow her hair back?

>>93963396
That's fair enough, anon.
I'd rather they just ignored it or used it sparingly, but kept her with the X-Men, maybe did and X-Factor or whatever, and kept her as Talon.
Talon was a cute name.

>>93963425
Emma cries diamond tears, just get some onions

>>93963458
her diamond eyes' lachrymal glands would no longer be vulnerable to synpropanethial-S-oxide, you plebian. You'd need some sort of mutant diamond-onion that released an airborne irritant capable of interacting with her diamond organs.

>>93963296
The problem with the coins is not the weight or how many would be inauspicious to carry. Is if Gambit could throw the as faster and further as he can with a card. Not to mention precision.

>>93963437
Talon was a bland name to be honest, I mean I love Laura no matter what name she goes by but Talon just sounds generic as fuck.

>>93963301
They also killed Kimura. That was cool.

>>93963509
Fine just make her perpetually sad instead

Why not throw jellybeans?

But she doesn't have to breathe, so onions wouldn't necessarily work.

>Talon was a bland name to be honest
I agree, but that's why I like it.
It isn't a production code of her time as a weapon, it's not her filling the shoes of her father figure, it's a simple mutant name and I strongly feel that they should never be used as mantles, they're their mutant identities for fuck's sake, Marvel that works for her.
She's anything but simple, so having a simple, bland name would help her to ease into normal, for mutant standards, life.

>They also killed Kimura. That was cool.
Yeah, Laura chocking out Kimura at the beach was intense as fuck.
It was one of the few moments in recent comics that hyped me up.

You better be a shitposter and not really this stupid.

Cards are cheap as fuck, $1 for like 54, light, and easy to throw with great precision.

How is it wasteful to use diamonds as weapons, but not wasteful to keep hoards of them, many more times the amount in the open market, locked away to cause artificial inflation?

>>93961759
I thought the yield from his explosions depended on the mass of the object charged. A playing card is a hand grenade, but a can of beans is a kilo of C4.

>>93964655
No, a can of beans is a war crime.

>>93964717
desu it's probably a cluster grenade if the bean's mass and size were accounted for

Fun fact: Gambit's mutant power is not actually making things hyperkinetic/explodey. His mutant power is he is able to identify items that were shoddily made in China, and prone to explode anyways.
