Will Squirrel Girl ever be taken seriously again?

All I ever wanted was for her to be in some fun stories and a part of the Marvel cast like any other superhero.

But not like this. Not... like this.

No one has ever taken Squirrel Girl seriously. The difference now is that she's not a likeable character anymore.

Not until they fire Henderson for being a tallentless hack. Which is never.

She was never taken seriously, but she was at least endearing and there wasn't anything bad about her.

>>85050868
Ryan North's writing is fucking shit too.

I would like to think this will be looked back on as a low point in her overall history, but really I could say the same for marvel itself.

No one is defending "Squirrel-barf"

But before she was known for being drawn like a fat teenage boy, her claim to fame was "somehow defeats top-tier villains off-screen in a single panel despite having shitty powers"

She's always been a one-note joke character.

It's just that the note has changed and it sucks even worse now than it did before.

Is "godparent" even a valid thing?

Like, the term means "if the real parents die, you become the kid's legal guardian" but does that actually WORK or does the state give the kid to the actual biological next of kin instead?

More like the kind of ones who go to church too much and name their church buddies "God this and god that" when they ignore their other friends who don't want to waste their sundays.

It's an agreement. When the parent dies the godparent usually respects their arrangement and takes legal guardianship of the kids.

If they don't they're fucking dicks.

Shrug emoji.
I don't care about Civil War 2, heroes fighting each other seriously, inhumans, legacy characters, or who MJ is boning to make One More Day seem justified.

Marvel comics are a joke to me now, so I read the two books that are laughing at it.

AV Club really likes this image for some reason. What am I missing?

>One of the most effective moments in the issue is the transition from the splash page of Mole Man proposing to Squirrel Girl (“Will you be my Mole Ma’am?”) to the panel showing the stunned faces of Nancy and Koi Boi, and their reactions to Doreen’s story are amplified by the chaotic lime green pattern on the wall behind them, a visual representation of their confusion in that moment.

>This week’s issue features a new addition to the art team in inker Tom Fowler, and partnering Henderson with an all-star talent like Fowler further elevates the book’s visuals.

I think people are more worried that the solo series is going to inform how the character is depicted from here on out. New Avengers is a sign that won't be the case, but I don't blame fans for being nervous about the character going forward.

They don't, really.

Characters have a status quo that they return to. Batman might be a ruthless murderer tomorrow, but he'll return to his status quo eventually. That status quo isn't necessarily how the character was first imagined, it's defined by their big, popular stories.

The longer Squirrel Girl is written in this manner, the more likely it's going to be the default snap-back point.

I don't think that'll be too much of a problem.

Ultimately this book is bad media. It's "working" right now because of the zeitgeist it inhabits, but it'll get forgotten and moved on from.

The marvel mangaverse lasted a while, but now it's looked back on with a collective cringe.
