What a cuck.

Little kids, and frankly everyone besides me, really really really love that "meta", "wink-wink" and meme humor like what can be found in those shitty Marvel movies you folks love so much and now Marvel is trying to bring that to comics.

If you dumb fucks hadn't fallen in love with "omg dance-off, bro. Ooga chaka", ANTS and "chimichangas XD" we wouldn't be subjected to as much of this bullshit. But this is the audience we, as a whole, chose to be.

Gwenpoole is just Superboy Prime without godlike powers. I don't get why she makes people so mad. Her blatant commercialism is a part of her concept.

She's not as bad as say, modern Squirrel Girl, who was turned into the main character of a bad webcomic. And even then, I don't know why people get so mad about a joke comic.

There's going to be more to this comic than just comedy. You can tell that Gwen goes through some stuff, lots of doubt. Even the holiday special showed her being very sad and alone once Christmas, until she made her friends. She was missing her family, cuz she's been ripped from their universe.

It is overshadowed if you haven't read the comic, but I'd you have you see that Gwenpool is good and has the potential to be better.
>>
I don't mind constant anti gwen threads because it just spreads her around, people will read and see how good it is, then good gwen threads will he made
>>
As I fall asleep I pretend Gwenpool is my girlfriend and I'm introducing her to my parents and grandparents and they're all very proud of me for finding a girlfriend.
>>
>>83921107
Literally anything DC is publishing or has ever published is better than this garbage
>>
>>83922752
As >>83922669 noted, this looks like it's actually a kind of shotgun pistol.
I don't know, it could be made to look like an AR15 purely for marketing purposes.

But expecting actual functionality for every drawing of a gun is a bit limiting, I think. You force the artists into thinking about guns a lot and not all of them care much about guns in their cape comics.
And you make it harder to actually have a fantastic arsenal for your fantastic heroes, if you insist on the guns to actually work as drawn. Sure, it's cool if you have actual designs in a comic, but not all comics should be required to have that. I would expect a gritty Punisher book to have realistic guns, but Gwenpool? I am already very happy that Gurihiru are halfway accurate on her RPG7. At least about as accurate as on their people.

Have you ever considered that perhaps you're now too old for these comics?
That the target audience are the 13 to 20 year olds? That you should move on and try to read something else - books, comics for adults (which to exist, shop around) or perhaps technical literature - history, to expand your horizon and find there's no need to get your panties in a bunch because a small segment of comic publishers write/draw something you personally don't like.

Food for thought.

>>83921858
She was introduced as back-ups in Howard the Duck's latest comic. Then there's last year's Christmas special, which is okay to good depending on the story, with the exception of the shitty She-Hulk comic that was the framing device.

Then start her solo series.
>>
>>83916895
Or they could stop both DC and Marvel and we could be free of this cancer forever.
>>
>>83921900
Because this crap sells. And all that money could have gone to an author with actual ideas, instead of memes and pandering.
>>
>>83924695
But it seems this author has ideas. Gwen is all alone in this world, and she is just now realizing it is not all fun in games.

Have you read the comic? There are no memes. She is silly, and youthful, but she never crosses the line into memedom. It keeps her funny and endearing but not cringey.

If you mean political pandering, there isn't even a bit of it. Only thing that comes close to pandering is the fact that they made her an actual character panders to Gwenpool fans.

Sometimes DC puts our good stuff sometimes Marvel does. I don't claim to be some expert on comic quality. I'm just saying why I like Gwenpool, as opposed to other stuff.

It's painfully obvious when someone hasn't read gwenpool compared to someone who has
>>
>>83923018
That's not even addressing his point.
>>
>>83924830
I would argue that there is a difference between a cash grab and reacting to demand.
Cash grabs in the negative sense (and the term is negative) are for me when you do a book or a movie to cash in on the popularity of a thing without putting much effort in:

>Deadpool Movie is successful? Better promote other books with his name!
>Vampires are big? Quickly, get me something to get in on that!

This was a more-or-less unexpected offshoot of a variant cover campaign where there was suddenly a demand for a specific product that Marvel simply delivered on. I would deny that following direct inputs of customer demand is a cash-grab. And they developed the character as a rather interesting person with a very unique story for Marvel, as opposed to just churning out the absolute standard or less than that.
>>
>>83925070
For me a cashgrab is when they do it for money without caring about quality. I don't think Marvel cares how good Gwenpool is. We just got lucky it's good.
>>
>>83916528
Only in marketing. Actually read some Dugganpool you dunce, instead of just parroting opinions you've heard.
>>
>>83915580

The writer got word of the cancellation after the first issues tanked something fierce and got bitter over it.
That's why the tone of the characters gets considerably worse and more hostile as the book progresses.
This is from the second-to-last issue, before the book completely crawls up its own ass in the post-showdown ending issue.
It started out with a snarky tone and millennial quirk. And it only got worse and pointedly uninspired from there.
