Do you hate her that much? It does seem weird to be forced to agree with Quire's opinion on movies, though.

Just the opposite, I'd rather not see Kelly use her as a deadpool-lite after all the character development she had in her solo book

Yeah, I can see that. She isn't really written badly, but just kinda off. For example, it feels weird that she didn't even mention that MODOK kind of has a score to settle with her.

But I do have hope that it will get better. Right now, Gwen is pretty much a weird, sort of crazy mystery to everyone involved. And she might be leaning into that perception. Once they get to know her better, she might open up a bit more and trust herself to be more than a wacky sidekick.
Actually, it would be kind of cool if that was a calculated move. Gwen wants to stick around, so she turns up the craziness a bit, because she thinks that would help her stand out and and be more popular with the general comic book audience.

I'm just writing fan fiction here, since I have no clue what Thompson's plans are, or if she really has any. But I am hopeful that she will pull off something. She managed to make me like Captain Marvel, Medusa and even freaking Dazzler so I do know she can do it. The problem is probably that Hasting's characterization of Gwen was already really good, so most changes in any direction would feel like a step down.

I genuinely did like the scene with Quentin, even though it was kind of a overused trope.

Basically, her character seems to be stuck at the level of the beginning of her series, when she hadn't had any real development and was a one note character.

So, how far did you read that series? To be honest, the first few issues felt kinda bad, but that series did improve remarkably and by the end I was really sad to see it go, since it became a favorite.
I can't blame you for quitting part way, since I might have done it myself if I hadn't been really bored at one point.

If you did read the whole series and didn't enjoy it by the end, I guess we don't like the same things and that's cool, I guess. :shrug:


EDIT: Oh you're talking about Chavez. Silly me. Yeah, that solo series was kind of terrible.

I didn't read the solo series, she's probably best written in the Gillen/McKelvie Young Avengers series where she's constantly threatening to punt young Loki through a window.

Gwenpool from what I saw was fine, but it was just too wacky and took the fourth wall breaking past the point of interest for me. The way Deadpool breaks the fourth wall is about my limit. Once it gets to "Let's break all the rules of comics, look I'm in margins of the books and I can teleport villains outside of the comic into the void between the pages" it's no longer something I have interest in. If it was a solo Image title or an unconnected thing that didn't have to fit into an established universe it might be a better idea. But having that ability in the established Marvel Universe is like, what can anyone even do with that? Where do you go once you can walk in and out of the book at will and have power over and knowledge of everything? That's just not interesting to me at all.


America was complete garbage and what I was referring to.

I haven't actually read it, but they send her to like an interdimensional school for superheroes when she'd already been established as a complete bad-rear end. It's like the complete opposite of what they did with Captain Marvel where everyone treats her like she's this great hero when there wasn't a backstory to it.

Nah it wasn't a school for superheroes it was just college with some wacky, science but marvel super science type classes

It did establish her as being part of a long line of super space lesbians tho

Huh, here's an interesting thing that kindof jumped at me. It's one of those comics that's about the movies:

quote:

MARVEL’S AVENGERS: UNTITLED PRELUDE #1 (of 3)
WILL CORONA PILGRIM (W) • PACO DIAZ (A)
A COSMIC CALAMITY!
From the dawn of the universe came six INFINITY STONES, each in control of an essential aspect of existence: space, reality, power, soul, mind and time. Now, THANOS strives to collect them all to further his mad plan of wiping out half the universe’s population. Standing between him and his goal: the AVENGERS, the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, SPIDER-MAN, and more! But with one Infinity Stone already in Thanos’ possession, will even the combined might of the Marvel Universe be enough to stop him?
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

It's untitled. Does that mean by December we'll know the name of the second movie of Infinity War will be called? Because at that point, this comic will be out.
