It's a character that panders to the lowest subhumans on earth.

So yes.

Yes and no. She's one of the worst types of Marvel characters - another in the long line of cute/awkward/nerdy/geeky/fangirls which serves as pure bait for waifufags, the lowest form of fandom [CHARACTER] is a cute! CUTE!. Silk, Spider-Gwen, Gwenpool, etc. and more before that. They're just trying to get the next Ms. Marvel that fat neckbeards can project their disgustingly misplaced affection on to acquire the only thing Marvel cares about - their money.
>>
>>84007125
Gotta agree with this post. It's sad that it has become almost a formula that Marvel follows in order to bait people in.

Gwenpool is that rare instance where the idea itself is actually worse than the execution. The book isn't bad for what it is, although it owes a lot of that to the art.
I hate the idea of this character, but I don't hate the book, though that might change when she starts showing up in other series.
>>
No. There are way worse characters, even if you fucking hater her.

Her book isn't even that bad so far, the only reason to really get a hateboner over her is if you're a vehement anti-waifu faggot.

Worst is probably modern squirrel girl in both concept and implementaion.

There's probably the cost of three or four costumes and various repairs for them.
But an appointment with Strange probably doesn't cost much, he generally just takes anyone who calls with a magic problem when he isn't busy with a cosmic thing. Although I guess contacting him in the first place can be troublesome now that he's spending time with Avengers and stuff.

I can't tell if you're joking.

They're desperately trying to draw in the feminist crowd (which only complains about their comics but never buys them), completely ignoring the fact that there are already females among their readers willing to pony up the cash without Marvel pulling some bullshit stunts and gimmicks.

I mean, the only "tiger" part about her is just palette-swapped skin, long nails and a crappy tail.

At least make her a little more strange-looking, doesn't have to be a furry, but goddamn, her design is just so lazy.
>>
>>84008035
Shouldn't you be on furchan or something?

Which is why I liked Cheetah from DCAU; instead of giving her a lazy-ass design of a woman in cheetah costume/body paint, they made her an actual mutant/splicer; half human, half cheetah.

The whole "It's magic, I don't gotta explain shit" thing actually does apply more often than you'd think.

It makes sense in magic terms.

>>84007210
I disagree, the book is really dull both storywise and comedy wise.

Like, can you post an example of a really funny page of gag that its not mostly ''cute'' shit?
>>
>>84006871
She's pretty good actually, her book is nice and I like the little bits where things start falling apart from her and it'll be nice when things get worse (it'd actually be pretty appropriate for a "Deadpool" variant; life shitting on her despite her best efforts). It's not like, say, Squirrel Girl or Hellcat.

>>84006998
This. America Chavez is about as close to an in-universe Mary Sue as possibly exists.
>>
>>84007317
She is a gimmick character without the cool part of the gimmick.

She is crazy but not really, she is just quirky, the book has violence swords and guns but they are so watered down that even Adventure Time is grittier, the comedy is bad, etc

Her comic is good, though, and her character is being fleshed out pretty well. There's nothing wrong with cute things if they're written well, anon.

>>84007728
Japan manages to have waifu bullshit, and cute stuff, and grim shit, and it all coexists. Harem series #41452657 existing did not stop Gundam Thunderbolt from happening. It doesn't stop them churning out GitS products. It hasn't stopped things like Space Dandy or SZS or a whole multitude of cool things from being made. The last big surprise hit in Japan had nothing to do with waifus - it was the irreverent comedy and smart take on an established genre that propelled its success.

>>84008551
I don't think there's any thing like that but it'll probably develop as Hastings gets more into a groove. I really compare the book to the earlier part of Kelly's Deadpool where it's alright at the start but it's not until Typhoid Mary comes in during Kelly's run (issue 7) that it starts picking up.

I'm enjoying Gwenpool well enough but I'll give it a few more issues to see if we're going to get large instances of pathos and other "dark" stuff or if it's going to continue treading between being a comedy and a drama but never actually committing itself into being more than a "cute" book with a sad moment here and there.

Nothing much happened in the first few issues of Deadpool as well. I'd say look at Duggan's (and Posehn's) Deadpool which started out with that nothing dead Presidents arc too. Like I said, I can see the potential for it to go the route of a good Deadpool comic in that there's flashes of that same sort of style of story under the surface and I'd hope it goes the whole way and doesn't just try and stay "cute" in the hopes of keeping the tumblrina audience.
>>
>>84008765
I'm sorry about your shit taste, anon.

>>84008999
Neither of those effectively replaced the main character, and were also, yes, idiotic gimmicky ideas.
>>
>>84009020
Wolverine girl didn't replace Wolverine immediately either. She existed for around a decade before Marvel decided to kill him off, and he'll be back soon enough.

Kate Bishop and the female Punisher haven't replaced their male equivalents at all.

Supergirl and Batgirl definitely start as gimmick spin-offs, but the first CC run is one of the best Bat-related things out there. Don't make conclusions about this stuff if you don't actually know anything about it.

Yeah but one could argue that the content was better.

Dark humor, violence that is not watered down, not a focus on ''cute'' and instead a focus on ''fun''.

That's my problem with Gwenpool, it feels so watered down that I don't see the appeal.

Comedy that is not too funny, character development but not too much and nothing impressive or new, violence that is not violent at all...

So M.O.D.O.K can break the forth wall and is talking to the audience in the last panel or is it just bad writting?

I get what he means with talking to himself but also plaining stuff that he already knows to himself? Does he need to hold a ''pen'' in order to record his conversations? Doesnt he have tech to do that shit for him?

none, the other anon that thought that the stupid joke was funny said that it was a ''reference'' to characters talking to themselves in comics.

I actually like the concept of Gwenpool, maybe not the Gwen part of it, but a Deadpool type who not only knows their in a comic but uses that meta knowledge to their advantage is a great idea to me for a comedy book.

And I've honestly really liked it so far. It's everything that squirrel girl COULD have been in terms of the self aware comedy.

Yes because the book is not really doing anything interesting with that.

Like, can you post an example of a really clever use of the ''comic book knowledge'' ?

I think that, just like IRL, people are giving more credit to the book than it actually deserves based on the fact that they want to fuck the girl
>>
>>84009442
Not much, it's just mostly that "Quirky/Genki girl" has become hated on principle. One of the comics had a guessed artist with a very minimal style, now that;s being used by people as a rep to the whole comic.

She's the only person in the Marvel universe who knows that Thor is Jane Foster and this is specifically because of her comic book knowledge. Plus, the story is actually exploring the limits of her plot armor and genre savvy.

Rick and Morty.

Its always sunny in Philadelphia.

Basically shows in which the comedy is part of the plot and makes sense according with the characters instead of just quirky dialogue like in Gwenpool

Rick and Morty I find funny, but it is without a doubt ,not objectively funny.

Its better than most comedic... anything because it has a lot of levels to its comedy.

Witty dialogue, references that make sense to the plot, visual humor, background humor, jokes that make sense when you watch the episode a second time, etc.

While terrible shit like Gwenpool, Mystery Science Theater and Monthy Python only focus on trying to get a reaction out of people with ''quirky'' shit and references

I hate Monty python because I agree. It's all quotable stuff, not actual comedy. But I don't have a problem if people like it, Because it doesn't effect me.

Gwenpool does make me laugh. I see jokes on the background like
>>84010021
With visual humor. Its still funny second read. I consider the way Gwen speaks even, in her strange formal tone, with hip words scattered in to be funny.

I know it isn't sophisticated, and it is simple. Still makes me, and a buncha others laugh though. Maybe its because she's a cute girl, and were biased. Doesn't matter to me though, because I'm having fun reading it.

Congratulations. You've just proven that comedy is subjective. Stop being such an autist and go enjoy the things you like.

There's like a dozen girl Punishers. Pretty much every Punisher ongoing for the past decade has had one, see: Edmonson's run and Rucka's run.

What do you think Gwen's tragic past is?
Dr. Strange said that her travelling to 616 would have been a traumatic process, what was it like?
Why did she think it was for the best that she not go back to the real world even after confronting the facts that she's probably going to die and even if she doesn't there will never be a happy ending for her?
I want to learn more about her suffering!

She's got an encyclopedic knowledge of the Marvel universe so my guess is she's probably a massively lazy fuck-up in her dimension.
>>
>>84010496

Nothing important, she felt lonely because she was too hot to have friends or some shit and she felt like she didn't fit anywher at school, etc.

Some bullshit that its not going to matter and is going to be mary sued as fuck so it won't matter even less like erasing the memory of her parents about her.

Her expression along with the circumstances surrounding how he managed to kill him. He'd been established as being a hypercompetent professional and then he gets wordlessly pushed into fire by someone dicking her way through the entire mission. It's chuckle worthy.

That's like the oldest joke in the (comic) book...

Like, really? Is that the quality of ''humor'' that this book offers? That wan't funny at all! Like even in context it sounds like a really generic kids book joke.

That's what bothers me about this book too, they use Deadpool and blond tits to lure people in but then they don't give you the same brand of humor that a Deadpool book has, this feels watered down as fuck

Probably this coupled with the fact having the people that know her forget she ever existed is better for their psych.
I'd rather have my family and friends forget about me while I'm gallivanting around the MU than have them live a life of wondering just what happened to me, Always that nagging on the back of their head, wondering about my sudden disappearance, also have you read about parents whose kids disappear? Shit like saying the split second right after waking up is the most peace they get because the brain hasn't booted up properly yet so they don't have to live with that fact their child's missing is enough for me to just say "yeah, just scrub that shit clean senpai"

Shit son, I like a lot of the things you do, but arguing that Robot Chicken has "Witty dialogue, references that make sense to the plot, visual humor, background humor, jokes that make sense when you watch the episode a second time" and Monty Python does not is just... wow.

Just accept that it is subjective and leave those with different senses of humor to their wiles. They'll be better off, and you certainly will be.

Jesus.

>>84011454
reading comics would cut into my shitposting time.
>>
>>84010768
It's the defiance of expectations. You would expect a comic fangirl with zero combat training to get put down in a heartbeat by that kind of agent, and then she just kills him dead. That dissonance is a fundamental part of humor in general. At the same time, it is very realistic for the agent guy to relax and let his guard down after he is sure the mission has been completed successfully and all enemies have been terminated, yet such a situation almost never comes up in comics outside of the hero being the one caught off guard. This makes it even funnier.

I feel like people who HATE Gwenpool just assume it's literally alternate universe Gwen as Deadpool when it's supposed to be girl from our universe who just happens to be named Gwen, and her costume was designed to be Gwen-deadpool because her costume designer literally thought she was trying to be a mashup of the two.

It's a fun meta comic that occasionally calls into question both how lighthearted and adorable yet completely grim and utterly depressing comics can be at the same time, and I'm enjoying the shit out of it.

I don't even read deadpool. I don't even read comics. I am completely objective on terms of comics, and only read this because I saw a preview and thought it was funny and cute.

How alike deadpool she is, or if when is only liked for her tits means nothing, if people are having fun reading this comic.

For instance:
>Gwen is a plucky girl, surrounded by colorful characters and dream scenarios where she's an unbelievable badass
>...But the world is a constant action movie. Constant. Horrible things happen every month that result in shitloads of civilian, hero, and villain deaths all the same and as Batroc surprisingly puts it for a character in the narrative, despite the fact that Cap puts so much effort into changing the world and keeping people safe, all of his victories are fleeting and the danger the world is in is essentially at a constant, because that's what you need to sell books. It's like Warhammer, if nobody took the unbelievable danger everybody is constantly in any seriously.

Living in a comic book world would be a constant flip-flop between a sugar-coated dream and a complete nightmare, and putting a character who is supposed to be a real world person to examine this is a really cool idea.

She said it was for the best that she not go back home before she knew people would forget about her. There has to be more to it than just her being missing.

This would have been just a little better if they used real pictures for her parents and the Doctor Strange movie theater.

>>84012129
And that's what surprised me when I actually read it. It's a surprisingly well executed premise and I've been enjoying seeing where it's going since we know next to nothing about the character. The cuteness is just icing on the cake.
>>
>>84012228
Agreed, but Strange made a reference to their minds struggling to comprehend what their seeing, and thus that whole segment rendered as a sphere. Their glimpse of the real world could similarly be affected.

Fuck off, the art isn't good
it's "normal", or "okay"

It's flat, there is no style or substance, the shading is just a darker color, I mean, 90% of it is Photoshop.
Remove the colors, there is nothing.

The artist can draw, it's not atrocious.
But it's bland, the kind of art I would find in a webcomic.
