>be me>play marvel rivals>think squirrel girl is cute and goofy>decide to check out her comics>grab a volume of unbeatable squirrel girl from my library>writing is painfully unfunny>art looks straight out of deviantartSo, is there any word on Squirrel Girl getting a new comic? I want to follow the character, but I can't stomach Unbeatable.
Sorry bro, there's nothing. Maybe you can try west coast avengers but that's more of a team book.
Chinks made squirrel girl fuckable, but they couldn't make her interesting.
>>151305988Neither could the comic writers.
>>151305699Go be happy with her cameo appearances in Great Lakes Avengers.
>>151306104No I wont.
>>151305699A new comic won't save Squirrel Girl, not in the long run. Even if something new comes out and its great, it'll be cancelled, ruined by editorial, or forced to deal with the character's prior baggage. Pray she gets included in a decent cartoon or live-action adaptation.
>>151305699Did they finally ditch that super short haircut that made her look like she lost a fight with a lawnmower in the comics?
>>151306416Her hair grows out a bit towards the latter half of Unbeatable. By the 2022 radio show set in that continuity, it looks like this.
>>151306552So in short yes but the artstyle still isn't doing the do any favors, got it.
>>151305699I just don't see evidence that people on /co/ enjoy comics.
>>151305699>I dislike the source material, change it to be what I wantDon't let the door hit you on the way out.
>>151305699The last time Squirrel Girl was good in comics was when she was hanging around with Luke Cage and crew. USG is just another case of an lgbtq weirdo somehow getting paid to do mediocre work and ruin a character everybody loves. These people just love ruining what we like, and somehow are better able to maneuver themselves into such positions better than normal people who are fans and have superior talent.
>>151308467>Bendis shit was goodNo.
her face looks like it got squashed by a shovel in game
>>151305699Lately she had a cute design in the One World Under Doom event but she's a secondary character in a bloated cast full of avengers, x-men and F4
>>151306416She have the rivals lenght in the doom event
>>151305699>needs gachagame slop to goon to a character he's never heard of>too smoothbrained to read comic book writingi think you're the retard here.
>>151309099OP got curious about a character, read an often complained about run, didn't like it, then asked if there was anything upcoming to look forward to. How does that make them a retard? Are you that much of a fan of North's comic?
>>151305699>Casual gains a surface level appreciation for a character (in a game that doesn't use her canon appearance)>Glances at the book that comprises almost all her appearances>Dislikes it>Runs to /co/ to basically ask someone to validate his belief that the character should be written differently AND WILL BE.We don't throw around "casual" as an insult because it's bad to be new to comics (well, most of us don't). What people dislike is the laziness and entitlement we see. An unwillingness to look shit up, mixed with a belief that surely what they want to exist is something that SHOULD exist. I might tolerate someone coming in and saying "the Ryan North run didn't work for me, I just didn't like the writing or art, please recommend something else." But he made a whole thread just to announce that he liked a popular game, didn't like the comics he tried, and isn't interested in other "old" comics (he doesn't ask for other stuff to read). No, he just wants something NEW that specifically caters to his idea of how the character should be written (100% based on a game).Fucking casuals, man.
>>151305699She pops up here and there in the Marvel Rivals comic.
>>151305699Hello anon from one year ago. I'm afraid that the thread you made has been done dozens of times and Rivals Squirrel Girl is old news.
Ryan North is not a good writer.
>>151307360It will be more concerning if they enjoyed it.
>>151308421>>151308421>Don't let the door hit you on the way out.Turn on your monitor. Rivals Synergy is here to stay.
>>151305699i prefer makoto nanaya personally. i pray to god that modern ArcySys doesn't touch blazblue ever again.
>>151305699if marvel was actually smart they'd be rushing to make new comics while marvel rivals is boosting the popularity of certain characters
>>151311593There's nobody rushing to buy Lin Lee comics. We might get a few costume tweaks, then this will end.
>>151308421>this source is shit.>well to bad! More shit for me!
>>151308743no it doesnt
>>151305699Surely Marvel isn't going to let the attraction Rival's character designs have brought to the character wear off without taking advantage of it somehow, right?
>>151305699Yeah, that's the sad reality of a SG main: your character sucks in multiple ways
>>151313954>Let's make the agility-based character fatStop tickling the monkey's paw and go fap to Overwatch's Mei.And stop assuming "Popular in Rivals" translates into jack shit when it comes to comic sales. Peni Parker doesn't even exist in 616 and if you ask the Spider-Man fandom if that should change I'm pretty sure you'll hear screeching about how much they do not want more Spider-people.
>>151314224Who said anything about comics? No one reads those anymore and hasn't for years and years. I mean in something that matters like an animated series or as a side character in an animated movie or whatever.
>>151305699There's nothing but cameos in one off comics. They're mostly terrible. Squirrel Girl's a nothing character ruined by meme popularity with Marvel giving her terrible full of themselves writers.
>>151314264>I mean in something that matters like an animated series No one watches those anymore and haven't for years and years.>>151314287He didn't ask what comics there are, he just expected the universe to provide something new catering to him in particlar.
Squirrel Girl and Gwenpool ongoing when
Squirrel Girl exists to make fun of powerlevelfags.She's a gag character, any attempts to give her more prominence than that are retarded.
>>151310628>WeSpeak for yourself.
>>151311593They are making a new run of Cloak and Dagger as we speak.
>>151314308This.
>>151314297Yes but all Marvel's new comics suck so they may as well not exist.
>>151307360Maybe they should try making comics enjoyable
>>151314308There was never much effort to give her more prominence. She was like Howard the Duck. All the other heroes were fighting gods across the realms while she was dealing with the Frost Giants in Canada by looking up how Alberta got rid of its rats.
>>151314673Both are characters who should only exist as background jokes. Attempts at actual stories with them just makes the universe worse.
You guys are never going to stop crying about that book are you?
thicc is not a thingthis is fatand it's gross
>>151305699What's hilarious is we have that shitty series to thank for her being "thicc" in the first place. Pre-wokening Doreen was either some typically shapely comic book gal with a gremlin face or a typically shapely comic book gal with a not gremlin face. Rivals is honestly the best she's looked.
The character of squirrel girl had untapped potential which could have resulted in larger sales numbers and cultural impact, and the ryan north comics failed to take advantage of that potential, theoretically, but it wasn't obvious at the time.Well, maybe they should have known they were limiting their audience with the art, but aside from that.Now we know, lesson learned. (hopefully)
>>151310628Pretending that the dyke-run ha any hand in what made te character popular is a casual take. His impression of the character seems very accurate.Her ugly redesign was catering to ugly people. The ugly writer was an outcast growing up, and all her humor was bred in a vaccum of reddit and hanging out with other losers. Divergent nerds are only fun to each other, because they have nothing else. This is also why meme-culture now is all about repeating the same thing over and over. Context and humor is irrelevant. Of course they make terrible writers.
>>151315039>Hating on Howard the Duck>Characters like Howard the Duck shouldn't be allowed have ACTUAL stories.Okay. Well, you don't get to decide. Thankfully.
>>151315345>Divergent nerds are only fun to each other, because they have nothing else. This is also why meme-culture now is all about repeating the same thing over and over. Context and humor is irrelevant. Of course they make terrible writers.But enough about 4chan…
>>151315309It's simple, but I still like it. Her classic costume needs more love.
>>151308743I wish I had a shovel that could make girls look like this
>>151305988>fuckable but uninterestingThe perfect slampig.
>>151305699There's a short, six episode Podcast called Squirrel Girl: The Unbeatable Radio Show. I have not listened to it, but the voice actor for the show is the same for in Rivals, so it at least has that going for it.
>>151316617When they eventually give her a classic comic outfit, i hope her face isn't as hideous as it was, cause they fixed her 2015 look already
>>151315423I should've because Howard the Duck sucks. He's always sucked. He just became more obviously cringe than before.
>>151308590It was way better than USG. I want to know what was going on when Doreen and Wolverine were greeting each other coldly and formally, by their actual names, as if they had previously been in a relationship and there was a bad breakup, but they were still being civil.
>>151318239He was OK when he was transformed into a scantily-clad rat-babe version of Red Sonja due to some cursed bracelet. Would.
>>151310628Man, I've read tons of comics and the oldest stuff like the first numbers of Avengers and all the F4 from issue number 1 to the one published this month. I had no problem even with the original story where SG meet Ironman and Doom. I liked everythingBut that Squirrel Girl run have shitty art to me. I find some of those stories even funny, I must admit, even if the new cast around Doreen, the college students, are lame and boring.
>>151314224She's not fat. She have big tights. Probably for balancing her silhouette because her tail is too big and It would cover a big chunks of her model.
>>151314308This. But powerlevel fags writers now use her to hype the new bad guy of the moment (see Cormorant in F4 or Doom in OWUD who both mock her umbeatable title after a one shot).
>>151305699Sorry to hear. I loved the Capcom Punisher game, so I went to read the comics. Now he’s one of my favorite characters.
>>151310628>We>>151315469>proceeds to insult 4chanI didnt think you'd be stupid enough to let the mask slip that fast.
I want to bury my nuts inside Squirrel Girl.
>>151309099The com8c stuff is shit because the people in charge of comics are fucking losers who cant stop wanting to turn commercial art into their therapy and egotistical reflection
I think Squirrel Girl is just one of many examples of how Marvel peaked in the 90s & was downhill since the 2000s then crashed in 2012.
>>151311593Marvel doesnt care. Their just making comics for blackrock, themselves, and litteral bots on Twitter
>brooo she always wins he can't be beaten she's so cool!>dude here's the-->bro here's the-->dude bro here's the thing, squirrel girl-->CAN'T be BEATEN! LOL! isn't that-- hey i-i-i-isn't that funny? isn't-- hey don't you find that endearing?>she-- she CAN'T get beaten! a GIRL! a WOMAN! a CISWOMAN-- who CAN'T BE BEATEN! who BEATS men! who WINS against-- who WINS all the time!>sure she might, heh, she might-->*pushes glasses up nose*>she might LOSE but she won't get BEATEN. checkmate chuddies! check-->i said checkMATE, chuddies!>isn't that COOL?????american comics suck man
>>151318969What if Squirrel Girl was written like One Punch Man?
>>151318984>She has to keep a strict schedule beating villains because the squirrels get angry if lunch is late
>>151318984A cutesy comic where she inexplicably saves the day or beats up world ending villains for being mean and tells them a helpful moral. They end up crashing at The Treehouse. Eating her snacks playing games and reforming themselves.Few of them become her side kicks.
>>151318984It could work if she's draw cute and the comic isnt written by a tranny or someone who carries water for the trannies.
>>151318969The joke worked sporadically because it's a ridiculous idea. The idea of her in a solo fighting evil out of her league with the power of squirrels taken seriously would've worked but modern writers suck & modern artists are even worse. They have to approach everything comedic with irony even when treating it straight is what makes it funny. To say nothing of focusing on coffee shop college bullshit & talk no jutsu-ing villains.
>>151319290If they want to do college coffee house crap then they just need to do an online version for that crowd online. Bit create comics to sell fir comic fans and scholastic shounrn jump style comic for scholastic.
>>151306416>>151309014true
>>151319354Yes but that's too obvious. No no they have to keep trying to sell normal comics to coffee shop tumblr women who only read lame no stakes fanfictions.
>>151319462Why would she call Dr.Doom, Victor?
I liked the North book. There's room for low-stakes humor books. The initial artist WAS dogshit, nobody disputes that, but the second artist had a cute style.>>151319096You just described the North run (provided you consider her apartment The Treehouse).
>>151305699Yeah she's not a niggerfied hambeast
>>151320082You can just say you're gay, it's 2025.
>>151314308Which is why she was perfect for GLA. Can be a powerfag when needed or silly incompetent due to the level of villains they faced.
>>151316627You could become a very rich man with such powers, I'd say
>>151318827lovely
>>151318308She's Europe fat (sexy), not America fat (derogatory).
>>151319934A few possibilities.In their longest encounter she kept trying to convince him that he could "accomplish so much more" and be a positive force if he worked WITH other people instead of trying to dominate them. Calling him by his first name could be her circling back to her "you'd be happier and more accomplished if you made some friends" arguments. Or it could be scorn. The man was willing to sacrifice all the people of Latveria to control the world while maintaining an image of a benevolent dictator. Win or lose, he'd already lost his chance to con everyone into thinking Latveria was doing great under his rule and there was no downside to his dictatorship. Or she could be trying to keep his focus on her, since her job in that scene was to be The Distraction.
>>151305699Psylocke and Magik got a random series after the popularity of Marvel Rivals (Luna too, now) so Squirrel Girl with her new design has to be on the menu.
>>151321953The tail gives porn artists so much trouble.
/co/ can't gaslight me into thinking I didn't enjoy her book. I would have MASSIVELY preferred a different artist for most of the run, but I still had a good time.
>>151318969I'm not a big fan of the USG run but I found funny the way how sometimes Squirrel Girl win against the enemies thanks to her squirrels and their skills like against Wiplash.
>>151323715As long as you know your standards are low.
>>151319934Basically Doom is her first villain and I think Doom is stil seething for being defeated that one time by a bunch of squirrels
>>151323715No one's saying you can't enjoy it, anons just think what you enjoy is shit. Acting like there's a conspiracy against you comes across as insecure.
skittles
>>151323715Some of the USG issues are ok. Some gags can be funny. The problem, to me, is the original cast around Doreen and the art. At least make her a bit cuter.I love the interactions with Tony btw
They could honestly have some guy redraw like most of the original squirrel girl run and rerelease it without any dialogue changes and she would be more beloved even if the dialogue now sounds like how 45 year olds talk.
>>151323815Okay. North got 58 issues, a special, and a podcast, stopped when he decided he'd done everything he wanted to and then was sent to write some fairly high-profile stuff. It sold decently enough it was the writer's discretion whether or not to keep going. Anons want to go "no, no, it was only popular with tumblr women who only read fanfic" who - as we all know - don't BUY comics. I can only conclude that there's a healthy number of people that bought it but feel a need to pretend they didn't.
>>151311519>Scarlet Witch is sorcerer supreme in Rivals>becomes one in comics>Hela is Queen in Black in Rivals>becomes one in comics>Adam Warlocks does nothing and appears nowhere in Rivals>does nothing and appears nowhere in the comics The synergy is already here you just dont see it
>>151324008Derek Charm's art was a massive improvement. I was often charming.Of course Gurihiru did her best but you can't get them for everything.
>>151324247The art improvenment is the only reason I even read Squirrel Girl cause the improved art got me reading enough to want to read the first half too. Its a shame Marvel doesnt give a shit about anythign beyond drawing in a deadline.
>>151324344>the improved art got me reading enough to want to read the first half tooThat's actually exactly what happened to me. Henderson was a huge filter.
>>151324162>>Adam Warlocks does nothing and appears nowhere in Rivalshate to see it, specially since I main him and we have to BEG the devs for him to be somewhat playable
>>151324525This seems like a lot even for a squirrel of her size.
>>151324870>>151324162What weirds me out is that we still don't have enough for a full Guardians team, which is weird because we've been sitting at 5 since launch, you'd think they'd go ahead and add the one more we need. There's a shortage of tanks while Drax is right there, they're constantly looking for more hot girl characters while Gamora is right there. Technically you could run 5 Guardians and Venom since he was with them for a minute, but that feels like a cop out.
>>151324898That's generally the weight-class they show her in, although there's been some hand-waving by saying she does judo shit to redirect weight a lot of the time. I figure it's similar to what happens with Spidey. If we were honest with Squirrel Girl, "proportionate strength of a squirrel" would have her maxing out at 1000lb at absolute "that's the world's buffest squirrel" maximum, which is less than a tractor. Spidey should be able to get a good few thousand pounds. Ants supposedly can do a max of 50X their weight, so let's say he can hit around maybe 9000lb. Sure, why not. Spidey once held up a corner of the collapsing Daily Bugle, a building that we were told weighed 1,000,000,000 lb. Even keeping in mind he was only replacing one of the pillars... yeah, no."It looks cool" means you ignore what the characters' supposed peak strength is.
>>151324247I hate that font.
Was I really the only one who liked Unbeatable?
>>151325135Ironically "proportional strength of a squirrel" should mean she can bite right through solid steel, which I never seen her utilize.
>>151325199>I never seen her utilize.Then you didn't read her book. She very much did do that.
>>151325182There seem to be a few people in the thread.
>>151324987I mean, Angela was a guardian, so I guess there are 6 now
>>151325265>Then you didn't read her bookI dropped it a few issues in.
Just keep her in her thin design but have her mom show up from time to time, then the chubbie-chasers can have a character too.
>>151324125>Okay. North got blah blah blahAgain, insecure. Nobody cares about the comic and/or writer's accolades. You don't gotta run promo for the thing. It was never in question that it was a modest success (ignore anyone arguing otherwise). All folks here said was that it was shit. If you think otherwise, cool, but on /co/, you're in the minority. One thing or another dissuaded most here from enjoying it.
>>151325342I'm talking the team from the original run. I still barely consider one of the random angels from Spawn to be a Marvel character, let alone a Guardian of the Galaxy.
>>151314615It'll be canceled within a year. If synergy was real comics would have been boosted in huge ways by the movies. It doesn't work. Wandavision put Scarlet Witch and Vision in the spotlight. Did the characters become popular in the books? Nope. We should certainly be happy if any normies check the books out, but any interest they show is going to be a blip, and changing comics to make them more like other media is a bad idea.I wish we could rely on /v/ or /tv/ to give readership a shot in the arm but the people who do the Wakanda salute or talk for half an hour about Rivals strategies just don't pick up the books.
I wish I had more chances to play as Squirrel Girl in the game
>>151325824Just play quick match
>>151314615>They are making a new run of Cloak and Dagger as we speakCnD are a ragebait characters made by Tom Brevoort.>>151325689>WandaVisionThey broke up and they still are now so they are also a ragebait characters. The point here is ragebait doesn't sell. Marvel Rivals offers permanent teamup feature through an in-game valentine event as the opposite of ragebait which is why it sells. I predict the next valentine event in Marvel Rivals to be about Iron Frost which has Iron Man and Emma Frost. That one should be ragebait free which translates to comics selling.
