My Batroc-ization of Gambit's dialogue is a reminder that Claremont's accents could be seen as relatively restrained in comparison to those employed elsewhere in the Marvel universe.

Well, I guess they're also making an X-Force movie in the wake of Deadpool's massive success? I assume the X-Force and New Mutants films are separate things, anyway.
I am purposely avoiding searching out more info on this X-Force movie so as to keep alive the hope that this is the Milligan version.

Hmm...not sure. We know that they're wee, and occasionally puir, and that their plight sometimes induces an 'och!' in passersby. Beyond that, it's anybody's guess, ye great bloody spaleen.

Does "bairn" come from Scandinavian languages? The Swedish word for "kid" is "barn".
