What went wrong?

>>144628802

The only guy who knows how to write her is the McNinja guy and the only artist who can draw her is Gurihiru so she's a rather difficult character in that sense

Then there's the issue with her name and the false expectations it sets

But I think she's a cool character with a lot of potential, and actually probably the only Marvel I wish got a comeback

>>144628802
She was created
Hellkat is right there and a much better and easier to sell concept and character.

She didn’t lace a good impression on Miles Morales enough to join his harem.

Hellcat isn't remotely a similar character.

>>144628911
Yeah.
She's better.
She's a heroine who had her adventures and life, unbeknownst to her, made into a series of best selling YA novels and comics by her mother.

Gwenpool is a SO QUIRKY SPORK PENGUIN OF DOOM thing that was lame as fuck almost twenty years ago and got by on being new and hard core shilling.

Coal burning whore.

She's a meme character made to capitalise on the popularity of another meme character.
She was doomed from the start.

Editorial fails to keep characters consistent across titles so her character in her ongoing and everywhere else was radically different. Then that radically different take on the character became her default and nobody, including comic writers, want to write Harley Quinn Gwenpool. Then you have a sad spiral of Marvel trying to keep her relevant but failing every step of the way. They forced her onto West Coast Avengers hoping her fans would read that book, but Thompson disliked Gwen and wrote a version of her people didnt like. Then after WCA was canceled they had Gwen retcon herself into a mutant so she could be a part of Krakoa since she was already under X-Men editorial, but nobody wanted to use her. Then, like the Big 2 has a tendency to do, when a character is floundering instead of righting the ship and going back to what people liked they make them some flavor of internet gay in hopes retweets will convert into sales.

The Gwenpool from Unbelievable and the current Gwenpool are so different that her few dedicated fans have almost all been eradicated.

Unbelievable Gwenpool
>comic fan from the real world living in the 616
>heterosexual but not a slut, is clearly attracted to men but she has an actual character and is not defined by who she wants to fuck
>interesting comic manipulation powers that could make her unstoppable and is only held back because she is a c-lister unable to enact meaningful change to the larger universe

Nu-Gwenpool
>is a mutant who's mutant power is viewing the world as a comic and being able to manipulate panels
>she's bi, actually she's a lesbian, actually now she is asexual and that is her personality
>arbitrary rules added to restrict her powers by uncreative writers, like not being able to use her full power set in team up books for some reason

I cannot even imagine a person who would be interested in dumb shit like that.
Gwenpool's isekai concept is infinitely more approachable.

wrong gwen, anon
>>
For some reason they kicked the McNinja off the series, and then every author since doesn't know how to write her.
And also for some reason the McNinja guy hasn't gotten Big Two work since. Though maybe that's because he got disillusioned because of the aforementioned kicking.
>>
Why didn't they make her an anime show?
>>
I really like that one fanartist that made fan comics of her. Is he still making comics?
