Okay, real talk, this is literally "Self-Insert the Character"; someone from our world gets beamed to the marvel universe and meets the characters, she has no superpowers or noteworthy skills besides somehow having a perfect memory of ALL the established characters she read about, yet she not only survives in the setting, but thrives.
Her plot armor might as well be her superpower.
Is this supposed to be some meta shit, that because she's the protagonist in her own comic book she'll never get dead this early from the shit she does? She jumped from an helicopter and faceplanted a thick bullet-proof window for God sake, she seems pretty resilient for a normal human bean from our world.
Not to mention being able to hold her own against armed Hydra folk and giant killer robots with the only training under her belt being a few youtube videos on swordfighting she completely glossed over in favor of making explosives.
Do people actually like this for more than waifu faggotry and Gurihiru?
Okay, real talk...
>Her plot armor might as well be her superpower.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT user, YOU SUCCESSFULLY READ THE FIRST FOUR PAGES OF THE FIRST FUCKING ISSUE. CONGRATU-FUCKING-LATIONS.
What the fuck kind of stupid ass question was this post supposed to be?
>Is this supposed to be some meta shit
>In don't know who Deadpool is
>for more than waifu faggotry
I thought you said she is for self-insertion
I don't waifu myself.
>Her plot armor might as well be her superpower.
No, that's literally her superpower.
Why so defensive, user? This isn't something to ad hominem about.
>In don't know who Deadpool is
Who doesn't know about the merc with a mouth? you'd have to be living under a rock to not know about le randumXD-man, but Deadpool actually knows shit about fighting and is pretty much nigh-unkillable, him taking the piss out of people and surviving over the top situations while breaking the fourth wall is par for the course.
Gwenpool has none of that shit yet doesn't fall behind, it feels kinda undeserving considering characters normally go through a ton of shit, backstory wise, to get to where they are.
>I thought you said she is for self-insertion
No I didn't, I said she's a Self Insert, as in, what you'd get from a fanfiction writer making an OC donut steel "based" on herself in the marvel u, not a character to insert yourself, though I understand how you'd misconstrue.
It's just really awkward and in your face about it, you know? But hey there's, like, just three issues of this, it's still got a lot of breathing room.
Not everything is so serious. Relax nigga.
She doesn't have perfect memory though.
The fuck are you even on about?
Have you read a fucking fanfic in your life?
Typical self-insert shit would have the character interact with heroes like they are equals and get sucked into adventures with them.
This is not what happens. Everyone treats her as a fucking psycho, she has no combat abilities outside big guns and she deals only with absolute nobodies while pressed into service for MODOK.
Jane almost killed her for knowing her name.
Nothing here goes the was Gwen wants it to go and she keeps fucking up. She assumes to have the plot armor of a big name when she has a completely different situation. And she forgets the author's intention in writing her book. Because she blindly assumes the author to have intentions he clearly doesn't have and forgets about him knowing all about her by default.
She is very clearly not a self-insert. The author does not even identify with her but tries to beat her into submission.
You know what they say. If you can't make an interesting, engaging character with a good background story, solid motivation and a worthwhile personality, just make a female version of an existing character and make her cute.
Cute. A word that means sugary pink garbage without substance, utterly inoffensive, timid and non-challenging. Cute.
She's got enough difference to not be "a female version of an existing character" though. She lacks any actual mercenary skill, unlike Wade. She lacks a healing factor, a child, terminal cancer, a significant other, or actual insanity. In fact the only things they have in common are hero names ending in pool, outfits, and knowledge of the fourth wall.
settle down nonnie, its just a fun comic, its not meant to be perfect, its obviously intentionally stupid
Gurihiru is always a plus, OP!
>someone from our world gets beamed to the marvel universe and meets the characters, she has no superpowers or noteworthy skills besides somehow having a perfect memory of ALL the established characters she read about, yet she not only survives in the setting, but thrives
She isn't thriving, she fucking hates the fact she's basically a henchman and isn't some bigshot superhero, also she almost forgot Whor's identity so i wouldn't say she has perfect memory
The writing is mediocre, but I do like the art. Shame Gurihiru is off the project soon. Once they go to a new artist, I'll probably stop reading.
Has gurihiru done porn?
So she's Superboy Prime.
Is she actually supposed to be a version of Gwen Stacy? They're nothing alike.
People are just on the Gwen train, I guess.
nah, her name is Gwen Poole, its riding off the Gwen joke
So it's just a new character then?
Good, I was already sick of Spider-Gwen.
>Self-Insert
>Not a greasy fat virgin manchild with no social skills
Marvel are fucking hacks
Look, its a gag comic, even though it doesn't bill itself as such. You, the viewer can discern that yourself from the name alone. Its there for shits and giggles, its not going to lead into, or tie-in with anything important. Just enjoy it for the shitty little rag it is and put it down and find something you find worthy of your time investment.
Listen I don't care what the fuck people have a problem with unrealistic or whatever. I don't read a lot of comics, but let me tell you one thing: this comic is fun to read. That's the only thing that matters.
>fun
>an objective rating for a comic
no what you are reading is a shit comic, get it right marveldrone

Hey robot, solve this captcha
Literally never read marvel before now. Only thing I read was a couple DC storytimes. Why Does anything matter except how fun it is to read? Why the fuck do you read comic books books if not for fun
>its just a fun comic
>its obviously intentionally stupid
Wow, you have some shit taste right there bud. Stupid isn't fucking fun.
Why do you enjoy shitty little rags? I flush my shitrags down the toilet.
Except there's no way you can actually defend the quality of it, so I'm inclined to side with the other duder.
>Only thing I read was a couple DC storytimes
>Literally never read marvel before now.
Why the fuck would you willingly start eating shit if you were eating steaks before?
It isn't stupid. Just torrent the first issue man. I know I won't be able to defend It well but I'll try, because I like it enough to deserve it.
It is very funny. I have never laughed at a comic before but I did laugh here. The main character is likable. She's quirky but not enough to be annoying. She's on the verge of memeposting, but she isn't. Just a funny shitposter in this world.
You can tell by the end of issue one that it will be more than just comedy too. Dramatic stuff happen a deal if with the fact that the marvel universe is not Gwens plaything as she thinks it is.
Just read the first issue and see if you like it. If you read comics for fun And not to be a patrician you'll enjoy.
Saw the preview, and it looked funny. I got issue one, and I was right!
>if not for fun
Buddy, you just stumbled upon the mystery of all fandoms. We can't figure it out either.
>implying they aren't both reheated McDonalds burgers
>Saw the preview, and it looked funny
So basically you would eat anything
Actually just stop eating steaks overall, you're making everyone else that eats steaks look bad if you're also eating shit
>muh neutral ground
Food analogies are the first resort of the simpleton
>likable
>quirky
>funny
Oh so she's "CUTE CUTE CUTE!"
Christ, you're pathetic.
I don't get what you mean. I think it is a steak.
>entertaining things aren't entertaining
>Sup Forums 2016
>this is actually what marvel publishes
thank god I only read DC
Except when the entire basis of a character is "CUTE CUTE CUTE!" it quickly gets grating to every single person who isn't a waifu faggot.
So... no. She's not fucking entertaining.
Yeah she is cute and funny. Why is that an issue?
Maybe it will get grating. But for now it's great. You are preemptively whining.
Proof it
Because that is literally her entire character. She has no fucking substance. We're several issues in, and I've fucking *watched* her become grating to everyone that doesn't want to fuck that specific drawing.
lel
I'm gay, no waifus for me. We're only two issues in.. If it is grating to you do not read it then. I'm not going to argue different tastes, I just don't want people to not try a good comic and miss out.
I like
...
>Do people actually like this for more than waifu faggotry and Gurihiru?
Well you can't have everything. And yes, only because of that. Also, Gurihiru stop working on Gwenpool, so you can feel better now i guess.
>Anything that starts bantz is bait
I think that word does not mean what you think that word means.
Aw Damn did they give a reason why? I loved their art.
Well, looking at their substitute it doesn't seem bad
