This isn't a conclusion. It's literally a LGBTA afterschool special. It's more than just "not very satisfying". It's complete fucking garbage.

Because there was no story. What was the point of this shit? Can you really call it a Gwenpool story when she spends most of the run unmasked? Might as well rename her and run it as a YA comic book about coming out and all that shite but nope, gotta have the Marvel brand attached somewhere.

Humans are social animals. Nonsensical made-up institutions such as political parties, religions and sexuality are just excuses for people to band together. I mean, sure, if you're a homosexual then you have a vested interest in finding other homosexuals for obvious reasons, but why the hell would asexuals care about other asexuals? They're asexual.

[Assistant]
>>137042587
People have interest in community with those like them beyond sex and love, anon. Besides if you're ace and don't want sex you'd ideally wanna romantically be with someone similar. Why arosexuals would stick together is a better question, I guess it'd just be like a lifetime fwb.

[User] If I desperately had to turn Gwen asexual for whatever reason, I'd go with the angle that she doesn't really consider the characters in the Marvel universe real people as in line with her original incarnation.

[Assistant]
>>137042789
That'd certainly be interesting. Other than the incredibly clunky way this breaks down into a classroom about asexuality, my other issue with this is that comic characters that don't really hunt down sex or romance isn't exactly a rare thing. If Gwen is aroace that's fine but it doesn't really have to affect much and wouldn't at the immediate moment if this plotline didn't START with romance as the draw. That, and the passable plot bit about how she never really got the chance to figure herself out makes this sudden "oh okay yeah that's me" seem too quickly decided. If you need time to figure things out don't resolve it in ten minutes and start waving pride flags; for the memes or otherwise.

Thanks for the story time OP

Even at the comic's lowest point, I found a few things I liked. I think the writer for all his preaching still keeps Gwen's voice most of the time, it sounds like her minus some lines that I don't think sound remotely natural to say even for comic-book people. I like how Gwen admits her legs are perfect and will cut the legs off of any costumes they give her so she can show her off, I like to think that's Ronnie's influence who first saw the potential. I really like her giving props to Batroc, that was great to see she still holds so much respect for the man despite not having seen him in years. Now if we can just get Cecil, Sarah, and Tony back on panel.

Gwen turning out to be asexual was being called out as a possibility from the second issue's storytime, and I stand by that this isn't the worst end for her to have. This comic could have stood to go over them in detail, but there were enough shreds of support over the years for this to have been a headcanon for a long time and not come completely out of left field, and not having a huge sex drive makes sense for someone with Gwen's background as someone who obsessed more with fictional trivialities as a coping mechanism for IRL woes. It's better than making her yet another bi or lesbian, and thinking sex is icky is honestly kind of cute and wholesome for Gwen, a girl choosing to keep herself pure instead of a sex maniac is refreshing. This apparently doesn't even mean she isn't opposed to relationships in general either, Gwen could still hook up with the right guy stay strong Cecilbros and the entire concept even as described in this comic is nebulous and shifting enough that you could pretty much do anything you want outside of making her a slut (which never worked out in WCA or GSB anyways). I could see a timeline in which 'asexual Gwen' is well executed and even well received.

[Assistant]
>>137046899
This isn't that timeline. This is a hamfisted sequence of Gwen coming to terms with her newly assigned sexual codifiers, starting with Julie's lecture before dragging her to meet with a club of personified Tumblr blogs wherein Gwen (more accurately, the audience) is given the fifteen minute sermon on asexuality that no one asked for. At this point, everybody besides Gwen has lost any semblance of having their own voice or personality. Every character is now a mouthpiece for the writer to talk at us about 'the spectrum' that is described as being so fluid and open to self-interpretation/change that, while welcomed for meaning Gwen isn't stuck in the box that this team's intent on forcing her into, makes you wonder what's the point of a story about it. When you see the final panel, it doesn't feel like Gwen congratulating herself. It feels like the writer congratulating himself, a self-indulged victory for what is surely the most oppressed group of all with Gwen as the soapbox on which to stand and receive their hard-earned upvotes.

This might actually be worse than GSB. GSB was lol-random Tiktok insanity that turned Gwen into the memetard anyone who didn't read her book assumed her to be, but it at least had an interesting ending highlighting her terror of meta-death. Love Unlimited has the opposite issue of starting out decent or even strong at times, offering the promise of romantic tropes being turned on their head or grasping parts of Gwen's personality and background that few writers utilize. Only to speed-run three different relationships to get an asexual reveal out as fast and messily as possible with no time to organically explore what these relationships or identity means for Gwen as a person. Her goodbye to Julie has no real emotional pay-off because the emotional stakes were barely established to begin with, and ending with more uninspired Whitley OC's expositing at both Gwen and us until she's literally waving their flags for meme-bait.

I don't have to cope because I realized years ago that nobody at Marvel knew what to do with Gwen. I haven't considered myself a Gwenpool fan since Strikes Back, I'm a fan of Hasting's Unbelievable Gwenpool run. That's it.

>>137046776
yeah this is why I don't really even read big 2 comics anymore. I mostly focus on indie webcomics and manga because their usually the same author who i loved from previous work or the same series. Also, theirs just something special about a character having an arc and growth, and it not getting retconned. I mean call me crazy but a character having a good conclusion to their story and just ending sure is nice.

> I GUARANTEE they'll inevitably get written into an unlikable asshole by a complete moron sooner than you'd like.

It's sad how that goes really, it became even more prominent in modern comics where getting super political and soapboxy became a big trend again. But yeah most characters now for every good depiction they've got a 10 shit ones

>You're NOT a monster!
I mean... that's nice of Julie to say but does she know what Gwen's past entirely consists of? This is one thing that gets me is the dissonance between all this lovely huggy heckin' validating Gwen and looking back on some of her more interesting moral failings.

She murdered dozens of people within her first week in print. Most of them mobsters or hired guns, sure, but did all of them deserve to die? She's come a long way since then and is no longer as murder-happy but it's still a concerning part of her past she's not eager to bring up again. Same with her often forgetting that Marvel characters aren't just characters or NPC's to enrich her story, but are actual individuals with their own autonomy despite being fictional. Even in this very story's start, it took her a long time to realize manipulating Elixer/Wither was a bad thing. Or her tendency to take short-cuts and not think about the consequences, again in this same comic she faked her grades in order to get into a prestigious college just to be close to Julie, and that was never brought up once after the fact.

Gwen has a TON of shit to unpack as a person that I think would make for really interesting story telling, her sexuality or lack thereof being such a dramatic thing to obsess over seems weird when there's actually monstrous things Gwen's done as a person she's not eager to remember.

Thanks for the story time OP

Even at the comic's lowest point, I found a few things I liked. I think the writer for all his preaching still keeps Gwen's voice most of the time, it sounds like her minus some lines that I don't think sound remotely natural to say even for comic-book people. I like how Gwen admits her legs are perfect and will cut the legs off of any costumes they give her so she can show her off, I like to think that's Ronnie's influence who first saw the potential. I really like her giving props to Batroc, that was great to see she still holds so much respect for the man despite not having seen him in years. Now if we can just get Cecil, Sarah, and Tony back on panel.

Gwen turning out to be asexual was being called out as a possibility from the second issue's storytime, and I stand by that this isn't the worst end for her to have. This comic could have stood to go over them in detail, but there were enough shreds of support over the years for this to have been a headcanon for a long time and not come completely out of left field, and not having a huge sex drive makes sense for someone with Gwen's background as someone who obsessed more with fictional trivialities as a coping mechanism for IRL woes. It's better than making her yet another bi or lesbian, and thinking sex is icky is honestly kind of cute and wholesome for Gwen, a girl choosing to keep herself pure instead of a sex maniac is refreshing. This apparently doesn't even mean she isn't opposed to relationships in general either, Gwen could still hook up with the right guy stay strong Cecilbros and the entire concept even as described in this comic is nebulous and shifting enough that you could pretty much do anything you want outside of making her a slut (which never worked out in WCA or GSB anyways). I could see a timeline in which 'asexual Gwen' is well executed and even well received.

i'm happy your optimistic anon really I am.

But here's hoping the next run is better i'd rather they not stick asexual, but hey if it keeps her from becoming marvel's first onlyfans having hero I'm all for it.
>>137046931
yeah your kind of on point with my biggest gripe bro. Really what I hate most about sexuality and politics in comics, isn't them being there themselves but rather how it's done. It always feels like they have to stop the comic on a dime to give you a lecture on how it works and what it is and it serves no purpose other than just being a writers mouthpiece or vent comic. Really weird how much comics have slowly just become these weird college psas, but this stuff is mainline at least the old psas were fun and we knew they weren't going to be canon and didn't waste a whole 6 issues on.

This isn't that timeline. This is a hamfisted sequence of Gwen coming to terms with her newly assigned sexual codifiers, starting with Julie's lecture before dragging her to meet with a club of personified Tumblr blogs wherein Gwen (more accurately, the audience) is given the fifteen minute sermon on asexuality that no one asked for. At this point, everybody besides Gwen has lost any semblance of having their own voice or personality. Every character is now a mouthpiece for the writer to talk at us about 'the spectrum' that is described as being so fluid and open to self-interpretation/change that, while welcomed for meaning Gwen isn't stuck in the box that this team's intent on forcing her into, makes you wonder what's the point of a story about it. When you see the final panel, it doesn't feel like Gwen congratulating herself. It feels like the writer congratulating himself, a self-indulged victory for what is surely the most oppressed group of all with Gwen as the soapbox on which to stand and receive their hard-earned upvotes.

This might actually be worse than GSB.

It depends on how you look at it.
Is it worth it by trusting Marvel to actually do something of interest with her? Not at all.
It is worth it by trusting the fans themselfs to actually do something of interest with her? 50/50.

It's all left to the fandom now. We want to see good stuff with her? We have to do it ourselfs, either with fan arts, greentexts, etc. Marvel won't do it, so it's either leave the concept of Gwenpool to die this way, or we take matter into our own hands and try to keep her alive as best as we can.

Again. That really isn't too uncommon. Sexual attraction scales with love. That's the norm if anything.
And people not giving a fuck about strangers, sexually or otherwise, isn't that uncommon.

[Assistant]

Really? It's not even like they're telling her not to fuck, they even have multiple characters who say asexuality is a spectrum and sometimes they do fuck. They give her plenty of outs.

My main criticism and why this doesn't work for me is that it reads too much like an educational pamphlet, which means no one should have to pay for it.

All this 'Pride Club' and talking about sexualities and spectrums and various other gay Ted Talks feels like the kind of shit Gwen just wouldn't be interested in. The whole reason she ran away from our reality is to get away from normie problems and have adventures in comics, why is she engaging in this mundane modern talking points?

Remember that time she made an appearance on Champions and spent the whole issue trying to convince Kamala and her team that the reason for everyone being racist was a hypno-ray or mind-control or gas or some other villainous explanation because, she's in a comic book why WOULDN'T that be the case? And then when they make it clear it's a complex social issue with no easy fix, Gwen ducked out because 'real world issues' isn't what she escaped into comics to deal with?

I feel everything in this whole comic are the exact same kind of IRL horseshit Gwen couldn't be dealing with and just wants to go back to punching Shocker or something because she could have just stayed home if she wanted to listen or read about this on Twitter

I really don't mind Gwen Poole being 'aroace' as its being portrayed here. Some of my absolute favorite characters like Luffy show zero signs of sexual or romantic attraction to others, and Gwen's best comic had pretty much nothing to do with romance so it's not exactly a necessity. It's fun she can be sexy without actually needing to care about sex and just kind of adds to the adorable factor.

I'm less keen on feeling the need to label her. Watering down something like this to a catchy Twitter tag feels kind of inappropriate and labels in general don't really feel like they fit Gwen who generally walks the line between hero, villain, neutral, etc. It's okay being proud of not being obsessed with or put off by sex and I don't even mind giving it a term but putting too much of an emphasis on the orientation rather than the person I'm afraid is going to turn her into 'Marvel's aroace heroine' when there's more going on there. And hearing her say 'It's your girl Gwenpool, Asexual Icon!' is possibly the most forced and cringe-inducing line she's ever said

The problem isn't that she isn't having romance plots, it's that they're making it an explicit part of her personality that she is incapable of harboring romantic feelings for people which, even if it didn't contradict with previous stories, is still bad because it means she's emotionally disturbed and accepting her disorder as normal instead of a problem to be fixed. Also, the specific way this was handled involved yuribaiting.

I see it less as a case of someone being emotionally 'disturbed' and more like 'innocent', which is kind of an odd term to apply to Gwen given how fucked up she can be at times but as someone described in the other thread it's kind of fitting when she walks a thin line of innocence and psychotic.

The one upside is that the kind of community that would actually appreciate this after school lesson also at least pays lip service to the idea that there shouldn't be any stigma to re-examining yourself and deciding on a different set of labels, so as long as a future writer phrases things in the "right" way you can probably get away with her finding someone she wants to fuck.

All this 'Pride Club' and talking about sexualities and spectrums and various other gay Ted Talks feels like the kind of shit Gwen just wouldn't be interested in. The whole reason she ran away from our reality is to get away from normie problems and have adventures in comics, why is she engaging in this mundane modern talking points?

Remember that time she made an appearance on Champions and spent the whole issue trying to convince Kamala and her team that the reason for everyone being racist was a hypno-ray or mind-control or gas or some other villainous explanation because, she's in a comic book why WOULDN'T that be the case? And then when they make it clear it's a complex social issue with no easy fix, Gwen ducked out because 'real world issues' isn't what she escaped into comics to deal with?

I feel everything in this whole comic are the exact same kind of IRL horseshit Gwen couldn't be dealing with and just wants to go back to punching Shocker or something because she could have just stayed home if she wanted to listen or read about this on Twitter

They could still do it.
In the original Jon was 10 and Damien was 13.

Now Jon is 17, and Damien is 14.

They’re still 3 years apart. So it can still work. They’re both teens now.

Conner’s outdated. He and his contemporaries served their purpose back in the day but were superseded by better ideas. The Supersons featuring Jon and Damian are a much better duo than Conner and Tim. Also, much more marketable for multimedia purposes.

I swear there was a video of some christmas cake working on an "artificial son" ((((game))) that had the ability to learn and become a personal secretary. I thought it was a wholesome, and a bit creepy since it was outright aimed at single women who were too focused on their careers to date men and raise children.
