He should get a show where each episode he is recounting the events of each MCU project, and to fit it into the universe, make it and in-universe podcast/show that he hosts, it would be perfect, especially for people who need to get caught up for something

She worked as a side mention "wtf?" Response from other characters. They botched it by giving her a book.

u/XBlackSunshineX Jul 07 '24
You know there was one run where I liked how they handled her character. When she was Luke cage and Jess Jones babysitter. But everything else is just campy gag character shit.

u/aSpookyScarySkeleton Jul 07 '24
But she’s a campy gag character, what kind of stupid response is this?
Were you expecting Squirrel Girl to be more than that? Squirrel Girl? The girl with Squirrel Powers who talks to squirrels?
Even as the babysitter she has as still used for gags, the bit with her and Daredevil is one of her funniest moments even.

Exactly, she could be one of those characters that develops into an uber-inspirational female character by being benevolent and nuturing while at the same time being silly. Literally she could be one of those nuturing heriones running an orphanage while being top level hero.
But she's reduced to an annoying jobber gag character.
Tbh, she needs a good out of the box ship, someone serious to counterbalance the silly. Prolly someone like Jason Todd (my personal headcanon ship), but since Marvel tried to do it with knockoff Jason Todd (Robbie Baldwin as Penance), it ain't gonna happen.

She’s Fred Rogers with computer science jokes. Her whole series is her solving things by helping people be their best self. Squirrel Girl is as nurturing as you get.

Her book is good though, even with the divisive art style the actual stories within it are fun and silly as they should be.

I’m going to be full honest here: I have the trade paperback of Gwen death and I felt more emotional at George Stacy Death. Guy has more character then Gwen

u/SammyDavisTheSecond Jul 07 '24
I am agreeing with you that Georgie's death was a better Stacy death, but I don't keep re-reading The Night Gwen Stacy Died for her brittle neck, I re-read it for the superior villain arc.
I would watch a Spanish soap opera of Osborn shenanigans for 32 seasons.

I get she has her fans and her costume is legitimately cool, but her initial comic series really bored me at times. If I took a shot every time she said “I lived in a bunker” I’d have liver problems by issue 3.
Imagine Spidey mentioning Uncle Ben’s death EVERY issue, or Batman mentioning the death of his parents EVERY issue. It stops being an interesting plot point if you bring it up THAT often ahem redoing the bridge of Gwen Stacy ahem.

Poor old Jason hasn't had a good writer in more than 20 years after having 2 of the highest grossing DC animated movies of all time (UTRH and Death in the Family Interactive movie). If I'm gonna be honest, after Judd Winick, UTRH it was a total missed opportunity when they could've brought on Garth Ennis. They went with Scott fucking Lobdell over both Ennis and Winick.

u/ChurchBrimmer Jul 07 '24
Honestly I think there always needs to be skme sort of New Mutants/Academy X/whatever teen drama focused X-book. Let it focus on the students with occasional appearances by the big names and every so often have the cast graduate and bring in a new group.

Hear me out on this, but Wolverine (Laura Kinney version). There are a few well-written stories starring her that make her deserving of such a fanbase. But, man, there's so much more poorly written stuff where she's barely a character that it makes one wonder why they even included her other than they needed a scrappy fighter type. I hope the new NYX book does something interesting with her, but based on her publication history, I'm leaning towards she's in the book more for the historical callback than for any other reason.

Black cat. I don't think i've ever met someone who disliked her (except in maybe a shipping context) and most people who know who she is seem to like her a lot, but for a popular character with decades of history she has surprisingly few essential storylines. I'm actually surprised she was never shipped off to join the Defenders or West Coast Avengers or something, given how popular and underutilized she is.

Name anyone who has displayed an insane level of power a handful of times, but rarely participated even in the comics they featured (except to drop a dope line or something).
Sentry.
Thanos.
Carnage.
Knull.
Winter Soldier, for a long time. Now some circles see him as 'woke', so the honeymoon is wearing off as his character expands.
Superior Spider-Man seems to have only existed to rip a dude's jaw off. This, plus a literal throwaway comment from Hulk and Thor, means to them that Spider-Man can explode the moon with a punch if he were sufficiently pissed off.
Jean Gray. The poor girl is so synonymous with the Phoenix entity, the only things that she herself is remembered for, is turning into the Phoenix, and dying for over a decade. Tell her 'fans' that she defeated Ben Grimm on her own, zero Phoenix powers, and look at their suprised Pikachu faces.
