Which is the worst female Marvel character?
A lot of people are going to say that is Carol based on her recent runs but she USED to be good back in the black leotard days.
While characters like Gwenpool are just a blatant cash in, taking elements from Deadpool, Harley Quinn, Gwen Stacey and somehow creating a worse character!
Well America Faith and Kamala have zero redeeming elements.
Gwenpool actually is a personification of what’s wrong with the industry. It’s branding, not storytelling
Your autism about this character is never going to end, is it?
She was just something cute for Gurihiru to draw. Sadly they couldn't do every issue so the ones without them are shite.
I wouldn't really say Carol was "good" back in the day just, better. She was a solid secondary or "wingman" character.
Characters like Gwen, to me are the best of bad situations. She falls into the same box as X-23(laura) or Silk. A horrible concept that they managed to make pretty interesting. And whether you agree with their fans or not, at least they were able to build a fanbase.
Now Ironheart, and to be fair I gave up on anything with her in it so maybe there's been improvement. Especially since it's entirely possible that she's been written better once Bendis left. But with what I know about her and did read there is nothing interesting or endearing about her.
Who is Faith?
Kamala is adorable and cuddly
But Gwenpool is one of better things from recent years.
the obese chick from valiant that Yea Forums only gave a shit about because of that one pro Hillary issue during the election
America has no redeeming Qualities
Faith is such a back patting gimmick
and Kamala was great in her first series, but Marvel shoehorning her into every series and inconsistency in how she is written makes reading her a chore
>obese chick from valian
OK, I was trying to think of a Marvel character named Faith and drawing a total blank.
I WANNA SNIFF
>Which is the worst female Marvel character?
Cassandra Nova.
But... Galactus.
either Jean Grey or MJ
>But Gwenpool is one of better things from recent years.
Gwenpool started as edgy psycho "they are comic book characters so who gives a shit whether they live or die." Did she mellow out?
Based AF Gurihiru
Is it weird that I kind of like "physically incapable of making non-goofy faces" Squirrel Girl?
Pretty significantly, a few issues in, maybe like 2. But someone she made friends with dies and she fucks up some other stuff and realizes her actions have consequences. It was pretty good for a bit then they settled in to Gwen crossover adventure territory and the it really tanked. It wasn't until the cancellation announcement that they got back on track and finished the book fairly strongly. Which leads me to believe they didn't quite expect it to do so well and just had a shit load of filler issues in the middle to pad things out. And that somehow became a self fulfilling prophecy.
>motivation is "I got raped", doesn't even get to punish her rapist
>designed as a foil to Spider-Man, instead he enables her criminal activities
>lies about dying to get Spider-Man to leave her alone
>doesn't give a shit about Peter
>called Peter a dicklet and sent him pity nudes
Black Cat is a trainwreck of a character.
Shit character, shit sales
>America has no redeeming Qualities
Allegedly America is "going commando" while superheroing.
>she USED to be good back in the black leotard days.
Carol Danvers beat the shit out of Spider-Geril during Civil War. She was always fascist control freak. And since becoming Captain Marvel she lost all other personality traits.
They made her a fatty in the cartoon. WHY???
Gwenpool has good porn
She’s not even fetish fat
Yeah, she had a series of revelations about how extras and minor characters are still kind of people with actual lives in-universe and some of them are people she cares about, and also that these days she’s no more ‘real’ then any of them are.
(Pic related from Superior Spider-Man, one of the few guest appearances which actually does her somewhat faithfully to her series characterization)
>one of the few guest appearances which actually does her somewhat faithfully to her series characterization
Ironically she’s actually a lot better and in-character in that appearance than she was for pretty much all of the 10 issue train-wreck that was West-coast Avengers
Like Gwen or hate her, she’s not the worst due to Gabby’s America Chavez existing
>It wasn't until the cancellation announcement that they got back on track and finished the book fairly strongly.
Paradoxically, I think her trying-to-prevent/come-to-terms-with-her-own-series’-imminent-cancellation arc was one of the best parts of her run.
(Pic related of another example of her giving a shit about people who are minor characters)
>called Peter a dicklet and sent him pity nudes
I just want them to get together and do some merc work. Hell, help Sarah fight with ghost/fey/demons.
Kamala is great, stop parroting shit you have no idea about you fucking casual.
Ewing's series is good and only 8 issues so far. At least give it a read at least before writing her off.
You know I could see Terrible Eye doing Cameo stuff in the Spider-Gwen series in an entertaining way if the author decides to follow up on it. She quit villainy to go to NYU's school of sorcery and Gwen is joining NYU in one of the other programs for her new series.
