This character can'be real, right? Is Marvel trolling us?
Remember what Marvel said they'd do when Ultimate and 616 cross over?
>>84226417
what?
>>84226417
I remember when they said they would never cross over.
Finally googled her. Not too surprised
Neat, I was just wondering how long I'd have to wait for a new Gwenpool thread.
Oh look this Thread.grabs popcorn & Wait's for triggered fags.
>>84226440
Marvel said they'd admit they're out ideas if that ever happened
It did happen. This is why you've got shit like Spider-Gwen and Gwenpool running around.
>>84226394
u have to at least admit she's cute.
>>84226612
Don't say it, I don't want what happened to Dominator to happen to Gwen.
>>84226394
I'm afraid I don't get your subtext. Why do you think Marvel's trolling us?
>>84226655
>Why do you think Marvel's trolling us?
Because we're on /co/.
I like this comic.
>>84226394
megafag? is that you?
>>84226394
She's realer than any other character Marvel has
I hada crop this from Gwen poole #3
>>84226394
>this thread again
fuck off you annoying cunt
>>84226394
>is marvel trolling us?
What did OP mean by this?
>>84226394
>implying Gwenpool is bad.
>implying the premise behind her isn't good.
>implying the worst thing going in Marvel right now isn't the blatant far-left appeasement with strawman far-right villains.
>>84227961
>the blatant far-left appeasement with strawman far-right villains
Wat? Them's mighty big wurds for these parts.
>>84226579
And the world is better place because of it
>>84227961
>>implying Gwenpool is bad.
Is bad.
>>implying the premise behind her isn't good.
Is not, is terrible.
>>84227184
>again
What did he mean by this?
>>84226394
This is as bad as squirrel girl, writting wise at least.
ooh, is it time for the communal mocking of that one faggot with a hateboner for gwenpool?
>>84227154
what did he mean by that?
>>84228036
>I don't like critical thinking in my comics.
>I can't understand the raw value of philosophy (in this case: Existentialism, Determinism, and Nihilism) indirectly in my comics unless it's clearly laid out for me.
Glenpool is for the deep-thought introverted intellectual; go read your pew-pew comics elsewhere.
>>84228150
>Glenpool
Cheap bait, 1/10.
>>84228064
Yeah noooo, I think you might be smoking a little to much meth man
>>84228134
That's a she though.
>>84227961
The premise is total shit, Anon. The series is good DESPITE the premise, not because of it.
>>84228185
How is Gwenpool better?
Both are unfunny comic books with man children as leads
Rather unrelated, but I want to see more of Volstagg's pet dragon.
>>84228259
This.
More precisely, it's a good execution of a shit premise.
>>84228268
You mean besides the art?
>>84228305
Yes, because having better art than Squirrel Girl is not really that hard...
>>84228272
Its a pasable execution, the comedy bits dull
Marvel just wants the Harley Quinn audience.
It's basically a clone.
Itt: people who haven't read the comics
>>84226394
No way.
Like a ridiculous character like that would exist in a serious world where bag guys can be called Dr Doom.
>>84226394
Same reason marvel is having civil war 2
I like her legs.
I that a good reason?
>>84226394
What the fuck is the point of Gwenpool? Haven't Marvel made Deadpool a woman already and Poshen and Duggen said he was a Pansexual gender fluid fucboi?
>>84232013
Eh, good enough.
>>84232054
Deadpool barely has any 4th wall metafuckery anymore, since that interfere's with the 'je suis pagliacci' kind of tone Duggan wants. She-Hulk hasn't got an ongoing. So there was a vacancy for a character with encyclopedic knowledge of Marvel's history. people already liked the costume from that variant month so they just went with that, she started out as a back-up story in Howard the Duck but sold well enough to justify a solo book
>>84226612
The only thing I'll admit is that Gurihiru make cute-looking things.
These "haha this character is so funny, right comic fans!!!!" types of characters (Deadpool and squirrel girl as well.) just drain the fun out of Marvel, they're trying way too hard. it doesn't help that 90 percent of the rest of marvel all have the personality of Peter Parker thanks to the MCU and hacks like Bendis...
The Gwenpool defense force is here
>>84226394
How many times have we had this exact same thread? How many more times before people stop paying attention to obvious b8 shit? But no this thread will have 200+ post complaining about she and the like instead of discussing good books because fuck moderation and good discussion, we need to complain about things that are easily ignorable
>>84228013
A true Marveldrone at work, gents.
>>84230126
Yeah posting the cutesy art really defends the writing doesn't it.
>>84232130
>but sold well enough to justify a solo book
How could she sell well specifically when she was attached to Howard the Duck?
>>84232276
>why quips?
Why are delusional casuals so triggered by something that's been an element of the genre for literal decades?
>>84232572
Don't really knownor where or how to findthe actual numbers, but I suppose they saw that in the three issues with her the copies sold where much more than in the issues without her
>>84232481
why are you so angry anon? i for one agree in that the book is a waste of space
>>84232130
It feels like a cheap cash in to have a something pool character to not be related to Deadpool.
That's just fucking shitty.
>>84230126
the artwork is not even that good, Its deviant art tier
jesus fuck, this thread
479th thread, same as the last 478
so is the comic actually good or is it waifu-bait?
>>84232060
I'm getting sick of her whining about the costume. It looks good on you shut up.
>>84233616
The worst part is that is as bad as Squirrel Girl.
>>84233616
Some people say it's good while other say it's awful, otherwise we wouldn't have had all this threadsWho am I kidding. We would still have this thread even if everyone thought that is was good or bad, because this kind of character is too bait-worthy to be ignored. They could just make a thread with a pic of her and it would start a war
You can read it and make your own opinion, after all there are only 4 issues right now (3 of the series plus #0 that include all her appearances before her own series)
In my opinion it'sgood. Much better than it has any right to be with a premise like that
>>84228150
I keep seeing you post the same image with bait similar to this.
>>84226394
Daily reminder that Gwenpool a cute and if you don't like her you literally are a megafaggot
>>84233705
Cover the mouth and maybe you have a deal.
>>84232526
Thank you, I do pride myself on my superior taste in quality productions
>>84233715
Don't listen to this waifufag, the comic reads like a webcomic but with even less content.
If you want to read something with a female lead you would have a better time reading Wonder Woman or Supergirl.
>>84232276
fuck off and get BTFOd dcuck
>>84234000
It's literally 4 issues, he can certainly try to read it and drop it immediately if he doesn't like it
Or are you afraid that some anon maylikeit?
>>84226417
Wasn't that was Joe Quesada who said that
>>84234079
No, but is like recommending Dumbing of Age, it will never get good and it sucks from issue one, page one. So why make a person waste his time like that?
>>84234211
Than it will read issue one, page one and will drop it immediately if it's so bad
This way he will not waste time, so that he could use that time to hate that series in the daily Gwenpool thread here on /co/
Everyone wins, right?
I'm not reading this crap.
But could someone please tell me what the premise is? I keep seeing people talk about how great or awful the PREMISE is. Fill a brother in.
Also why is she Gwen? Is she a combination of Gwen Stacy and Deadpool?
>>84234291
She has no in-universe connection with either Gwen Stacy or Deadpool.
She's a girl from our world called Gwen Poole that, after Secret Wars, was transported in Earth-616.
Being a comic fan, she understood that the only way to survive in that world is by being a superhero, because otherwise you would just be casualties in the new Marvel event, so she went to a person known for make superhero costumes and commissioned one
The tailor read her name and thought she was connected to Deadpool, so her costume was made to look like his
>>84234346
Thank you kindly. And what are her powers?
>>84234291
She's not Gwen Stacy
The premise is that she's a normal person who gets dropped into a comic universe and proceeds to use her meta knowledge to become a Deadpool knockoff. At least for the first issue
Nothing happens really, not yet. The art is cute and somewhat cartoony (I admit that was my main reason for reading it, though for a while it looks more "realistic" and less cutesy than it later turns), the jokes are less jokes and more offhand meta references and funny faces, the general tone is pretty lighthearted even when it seems it's going to get serious. It's not a lolrandom memestorm as you may expect
>>84234382
>And what are her powers?
She's aware she's in a comic book.
That's it.
>>84234382
She's from our world, she has no powers outside of her comics knowledgethat can be actually rather valuable. She knows the secret identities of everyone, to begin with
She doesn't have any training in martial arts or firearms eitherIt seems that the series had made a point to make every chapter ending with showing how much anyone would be fucked up in her situation
>>84234382
Her "power" is breaking the fourth wall and not much else. She literally tries to learn swordsmanship via youtube tutorials and then is coached in martial art by a C-list captain america supervillain
>>84234447
>C-list captain america supervillain
You dare denigrate the name of Batroc ze Leaper?
>>84234390
She's not Gwen Stacy yet she does the same kind of name thing as "Spider-Gwen" in that you take part of an established title and put "Gwen" in place of a word? And looks somewhat like her? And came out at roughly the same time? Is that in itself meant to be a 4th wall thing or are they not that self-aware?
>>84234555
My bet is on marketing
Gwenpool is Marvel's Superboy-Prime
A love letter to Morrison and Morrison-esque stories. An exploration of the relationship between a protagonist and an auxiliary character, the consequences of maintaining such a powerful weapon that is 'plot armor', and the literal/figurative life-giving force of money that serves as the clockwork that runs the gears of the comic industry and thus propels Gwen Poole's life. See that she is a mercenary, an occupation that literally requires her to kill for money as she is killing (entertainment) for our money in real life.
As the Flash taps into the power of the Speedforce, the literary manifestation of movements, acting as both an ability within the narrative and a force that pushes the story forward; Gwen Poole too taps into an unnamed force made of popularity and sales numbers. To live, she must exploit the perceptions of cuteness, crude humor, and a culture of violence. She is both a reflection of the industry itself and the readers who support it. The end of issue 2 shows a pure existential crisis, why does she live and what for?
She exists merely to exist. A virus. A meme.
>>84234278
Again, is like telling a person to eat shit to see if he likes it, of course he won't, is shit, why telling him that?
We are talking about a shit book anon, its not even debatable that it sucks
>>84234555
Out-of-universe she was born because of Spider-Gwen.
Marvel had a month to celebrate Spider-Gwen in which every comic had an alternative cover with herusually with Gwen wearing the protagonist of that series's costume
The one from Deadpool was liked so much that people started making cosplay from just that cover
Noticing the love for it Marvel introduced her character in Howard the Duck
She was really liked there too so they gave her her own series
>reading Marvel when you could read DC
its like choosing to eat McDonalds when you could eat a good high end steak
>>84226547
did that actually happen?
>>84234580
Yeah, nah, I'm going with this guy.
>>84234572
The idea seems cute of a comic book fan trapped in a universe but in execution those stories are always duds. They did this shit all the time in the 80's and 90's. Captain N, The Masters of the Universe movie.
When will Quesadilla's Gwen Stacy lust end!?
>>84234632
You really overestimate the knowledge of 4chan in popular culture
>>84234609
>le food meme
If Marvel's McDonald's then that would make DC Burger King. Not exactly "high end steak".
>>84234662
It's been on the TV news several times around the world, including on Fox in the US. I do agree with you, though, that you should be able to intuit that's a photoshop. It's just mainly because 4chan isn't really a marketable thing; people don't aim for us like they aim for Tumblr or Reddit.
Weirdly, I've also been in pubs where I've seen people mention 4chan in graffiti in toilet cubicles.
"The dustbin of the internet" made me laugh.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR6CnYXCCxk
>>84234632
Yes, it actually happened.
>>84226394
If mods actually cared about this dead fucking board you'd been banned weeks ago.
>>84234609
It's more like choosing to swallow your own vomit rather than drinking someone else's.
>>84234809
>muh neutrality
DC is at least an In-N-Out if Marvel is McDonald's but lets be honest, DC is a fucking michelin star resteraunt compared to the shit Marvel shovels out
>>84234949
>DC is at least an In-N-Out
As if In-N-Out is actually anything good. Most disappointing, hyped up burger I've ever had. Fries were awful. Shakes were awful. The homemade lemonade was awful. The only thing it has going for it is the price.
>>84234609
>not quite as shit when compared to shit = high-end
>>84234580
bait.
As this is the most alive current Marvel thread, let me just ask this here: when did all this shit happen? I've been away from comics for a while.
>>84234291
gag action title that sometimes breaks the 4th wall, generic as fuck.
>>84234609
>Capeshit
All of the decent social commentary was done years ago, and the age of the Cape Graphic Novel is over anyway. Literally no reason to read anything from The Big 2 after a point.
>>84234822
Don't lie you dick
>>84235184
People read comics as a guilty pleasure, not for deep intellectual discourse. The fact that some mouthbreathing manchildren used to try to get incredibly simplified and delayed social commentary from a funny book is kind of irrelevant.
Seeing comments like yours is like reading someone saying "candy nowadays is just sweet tasting treats, candy is dead."
>>84235141
Late 2012 till middle of 2015.
>>84227978
Fine in simple words, they made Modok into Donald Trump and had a black woman captain America beat him up. It's gotten so past the point of jumping the shark it's baffling.
>>84235229
Difference is, capes are essentially dead. They've been going on for about a century, and the writers are clearly out of ideas. Now it's just a sustained series of Universe-shattering events, one after another, with the same overwrought dialogue.
>The fact that some mouthbreathing manchildren used to try to get incredibly simplified and delayed social commentary from a funny book is kind of irrelevant.
Missing the point: capes have gotten to the point of self-parody. At least a few decades ago you could use them to reflect some real world issues, or do some deconstruction, and you saying that it's fine for your hobby to settle as unapologetic shit isn't a solid position to take.
Also:
>some mouthbreathing manchildren
Did I hit a nerve there, Avenging Alliterator?
>>84235356
It's pretty natural to want to beat up Trump, nothing shark jumping about that. He's a laughing stock across the whole world. It's an additional source of hilarity that some people in America apparently take him seriously. It really just sounds like you got your feelings hurt by a cartoon.
>>84235463
>that thing you take issue with is totally fine, you're just being overly sensitive
Not the anon you're responding to, but reminds me of this.
Gwenpool is for lewd
>>84235463
Modern politicts don't belong in capeshit to begin with, it was cringey when they had the entire marvel universe crying in the ashes of the World Trade Center and it's cringey now.
>>84233705
>that
>whining
No.
>>84235723
She does mention being tired of shaving her legs in the latest issue, but it's still not exactly whining.
>>84231675
Doom is a real last name though. I worked with a Sergeant Doom, he didn't change his name either.. He got kicked out for being too fat. Really disappointing. If he'd gotten buff as fuck can you imagine being named Sergeant DOOM?
Hm. Well, I'm willing to give this one a pass because she's cute and I'm shallow
>>84235356
Trump is a niche viewpoint. The elites and the youth favor cosmopolitan capitalism. Beating Trump up is like a comic depicting the beating of a black in the mid 1800's. Few would object, some may be neutral, and at least half laugh.
>>84234585
>its not even debatable that it sucks
That's not how opinions work
>>84233424
It really isn't.
Deviantart shit is on the realm of pic related. If you squint you can see some stylistic similarities between the two, the difference is that Gwenpool is made by incredibly more competent artists
Oh look, it's this thread again
>>84235938
What a load of wasted potential, it's like he had his life's calling in his name already but he just didn't go for it
when does deadpool fuck her?
Marvel has a lot of fucking garbage out right now, this isn't quite there.
Just a shame we have reached the point where this is "good".
>>84226633
>I don't want what happened to Dominator to happen to Gwen.
really good porn?
>>84235611
Gwenpool is for cuddles, not lewds.
its one of few marvel books that doesn't push some kind of agenda but people hate it because its Marvel.
Not once has someone in the book used any of the tumblr terms or ideology or make her into some kind of bland Mary sue. She's a fuck up plain who's in way over her head
>>84233747
I am a megafaggot and I still like Gwenpool.

The picture is wrong, its pronounced "OP is being a FAG"
>>84234662
It's not like it would be the first time 4chan was mentioned in a Marvel comic.
>>84239266
Did he actually became a meme back in the days or it was just a joke about the internet culture?
>>84238871
>neon hair
She's blonde with some purple streaks. It's a stretch to call that neon hair
>>84237435
This is true.
>>84239378
yeah a little bit, but nothing big enough to garner any real attention
>>84234816
>Weirdly, I've also been in pubs where I've seen people mention 4chan in graffiti in toilet cubicles
Weirdest thing I've even seen in a toilet is a picture of my m8s face above a urinal in some bar in germany.
He had never been to the bar before, he hadn't even been to germany before.
>>84239378
When he was first announced and called Fortress, some people here took a liking to him, stuck him into other images and stuff
>>84226394
pic related is pretty shit desu
>>84239266
does anyone even like him?
>>84237607
no, people hate it because its pretty shit and having character called something pool not being related to deadpool is fucking dumb, the character has no reason to exist
>>84237401
>>84237401
yes it is there, as in bad
>>84240434
Pic related got people pretty fucking mad, so I would assume they do.
>>84239378
We photoshopped his face onto a lot of things, yeah.
>>84226394
I want to find Gwen Poole IRL and then rape her while she's wearing the costume.
>>84240461
So why is it shit?
>>84240490
This picture is really good, though.
>>84240461
Your baby-feelings are not compelling.

>>84232060
I miss Cecil, he was the best part of issue 1.
What's the name of the series? Is it good? Are there sex jokes?
>>84244720
Gwenpool, it depends on how you feel about suffering waifus, and not really.
>>84226394
I would buy any book as long as gurihiru was drawing it.
I read an issue of this today. It wasn't bad. It was no award-winner, but it wasn't bad. I have no idea why so many Anons have such a hate-on in their pants for this character.
>>84244892
/co/ started loving her and now they hate her.
>>84244947
Pretty much how every fandom works desu
Let's talk Gwenpool's issues!My bet is schizophrenia
>>84245049
but why do they hate her? I was here when the minis and issue 1 came out and everyone loved her, now for reasons I don't known they just hate her.
>>84245171
Same reason why /v/ hates Undertale now. It's getting popular.
>>84245408
/v/ has always hated Undertale.
>>84245470
Nah, they used to like it and thought it was interesting when they saw the initial kickstarter. Even in the early days they had civil threads about it.
Then it got popular and everyone started to hate it.
>>84245470
Grossly Incorrect
>>84232060
Didn't realize was the boat was the base?
>>84245122
tbqh, you're probably better starting an actual gwenpool discussion thread instead of tacking onto a hateboner thread.
>>84244947
What the fuck with that "/boardname/ hate/love something" meme? If i start creating threads with unbeatable squirrel girl and praise it, everyone would say /co/ loves it?
B-but.... The manchildren (that's us) demanded more Gwenpool.
blame the millennials
they have shit taste
>>84245778
no, nobody liked USG ever.
>>84245881I don't mind USG.
>>84240434
Yeah, actually, he was a pretty likeable guy.
>>84240490
Marvel killing the golden goose as always.
>>84245122
Dr. Strange provided independent and learned verification that she's from a different universe. She's not schizophrenic, or if she is, she is a schizophrenic who legitimately came from another universe where Marvel is a comics company.
>>84245891
doesn't mean you like it.
>>84246058
Nah, I don't really. But it doesn't offend me like it does the rest of /co/.
>>84245881
And nobody hates Gwenpool because it's drawn by fucking gurihiru and writing doesn't suck at all. It's perfect. If someone didn't like it, he just going to call it waifu bait and be done with it forever. It's just one buttblasted faggot who keeps making those threads, probably trying to bait or some shit, maybe even serious about it.
>>84246134
>the rest of /co/
And here he goes again.
Everyone makes fun of it because it's hilariously bad. Some people just really upset by the fact that they got this...
>>84246335
instead of that
>>84246213
I have the book but I have not read it because I hate m.o.d.o.k. as a character, but I love the art, so I'm gonna wait until they finish this arc.
>>84246370
it should be finished after the next issue that comes out next wednesday.
Also,modok is nowhere near as boring as usual
>>84245982
Anon was referring to her issues in the context of reasons it's "probably for the best" that her parents forget her.
>>84226394
Nope she's real, and /co/ actually likes her. For what reason I have no idea, she's extremely corny and lame.
>>84235639
The problem with that was that, in universe, millions had died in just the prior 12 months of comics through various cape related accidents and villain attacks. So why would all of Marvel go crying about 1 MINOR act of destruction where less than 5000 civilians died? Out of story it would be fine, but in story it made no sense.
>>84239099
Sounds like /b/ actually.
>>84248502
It was USA post-9/11. People at the time would have probably have complained if they hadn't do something related to it.
Like putting all those american flags in the Raimi's Spider-Man movies and shit like that
>>84239099
You forgot to call him a cuck.
>>84226394
it is, it's a lame attempt to cash into the Harley quinn popularity; which is funny, since Harley Quinn is an attempt to cash into the Deadpool popularity. Anyway, this is just modern marvel.
>>84248611
>Harley Quinn is an attempt to cash into the Deadpool popularity
You are THIS retarded.
>>84246335
Would you stop posting all those damned Squirrel Girl covers here? This is a GwenPool love/hate thread.
>>84248708
>le funny comic book
>not like deadpool at all guys, I swear!
stop your waifu faggottry and look objectively at how the comic is.
Yes to both.
>>84248771
I don't think it really matters if I like this comic cuz it's cute. I know that it can be as cute as possible, but suck total ass, and I wouldn't like it.
If it happens that this comic is simply mediocre, and I see it as good because it has a cute MC, I don't have a problem with it. I'm enjoying it.
>>84248566
They just wanted to be part of the event. After all, comics industry is basically just NY based in the US after all. So they had to be part of the masses mourning and saying how bad it was but things will get better and how great the USA is.
Didn't take them to desert that thought and go back to moaning about how rotten the US is and how its the core evil of the world, blah blah blah.

>le funny comic book
Is HUMOR a meme now?
If you hadn't noticed, Harley Quinn is an incredibly popular character in her own right, she doesn't need to ride anyone's coattails.

Going by the cover of the first issue it will probably become a ghost with a blue flame insideThis shitty SJWs that needs to add diversity to everything. Skulls in flame have always been red. Have they ever seen Ghost Rider?
>>84249710
Oh right, I forgot my own theory about the foreshadowing on the #1 cover!I'm ready to accept flaming skulls of color.

I suddenly find myself unreasonably, irrationally aroused by the image of Gwen in costume with bare feet, and I'm a lifelong anti-footfag.
>>84250802
A lot of people do apparently.
Cute! CUTE!
>>84250815
das it
>>84250802
I had the same sort of reaction to an image of Powergirl barefoot once. I think it's something to do with these kinds of costumes, with the bare legs and boots. When the boots cone off it's like getting naked.
>>84250857
Yes, that's quite an insight actually.
Gwenpool is a cute. A cute!
