Gwenpool is one of my favorite new comic characters of the last several years, and this is a great video explaining who the character is and how she came to be!
@@ManuMiAS I'm not trying to be a jerk (welcome to the channel) but I've read every book to ever feature Gwenpool (for a video called "I Read Every Gwenpool Comic Ever") and I've covered Batman from so many angles that I'm out of ideas... These two characters have a couple things in common but not a lot... besides I doubt normies know either of these characters very well.
@@Quadewet Comic characters in games have created the most new comic readers second only to the Marvel Movies. I'm just happy more people are getting to enjoy comics.
@@eoturbo It's from Batman: The Merciless. It's a one shot from DC's Dark Knights Metal where an alternate universe Batman becomes the God of War. Here's my short on it: th-cam.com/users/shortsCxe5qtYIVRc
I've had the first issue of her original comic, the one where she's riding the dirt bike on the cover, for YEARS and I've just never gotten around to reading it. I really should start reading them and trying to buy them cause I'm super interested in it.
Quite a shame that she haven't been getting much lately tho I was just glad that gwenpool strike back ending is suggesting that in the years to come there may still be more potential for her Back then when I read her comic in the library, I liked how clean the comic art style and presentation,, maybe it's the gurihiru art style that brings out the anime manga /western comic blend of mix, there isn't that many textbox with that many illaboration, funny and I like how she is basically a representation of how will a marvel reader or fan getting into the comic book world be like (also mix in some isekai element in it) then the art style also make her and other character pretty expressive I feel like maybe someday she can deserve more popularity by feature in an animated film kinda like spierverse or maybe her own anime series (she's quite popular in Japan too perhaps thanks to the artist) since back then we had x men and marvel disc war series so I think it will work quite well as long as she can be portrayed just as expressive as her comic book counter part and given the same amount of lore, back story and struggle she have in both the real world and the marvel world

She has a lot more interesting back story than I was expecting. Now here's my question, If the character is a hybrid of Gwen Stacy and Deadpool who would get the rights to make it a Gwenpool movie? Disney or Sony?
I suspect that making her in universe origin have nothing to do with the X-men was sort of a coup by Marvel. A work around to keep the rights, perhaps. I'm glad though, it was a very refreshing take on what I thought would be a stale idea.
Disney she is not related to gwen stacy IN the books she is just based off her and she is not even related to deadpool in the comics her full name is Gwendoline Poole which is shortened to gwenpool
Hi late to the conversation but her creator chris hastings did a podcast recently and explained that she is technically owned by disney not sony! since her introduction was in howard the duck and not a spiderman/deadpool run
Great question! I left it out because it's not revealed in the comics (at least not at the time of this comment). Christopher Hastings has said that it was a deliberate choice not to explain it. However, In a farewell letter in Unbelievable Gwenpool #25, he said it was the fans making content based around Gwenpool (back when she was just a cover variant idea) that created a collective force prying open the walls of the Marvel Universe and shoving her inside. I'm paraphrasing here.
@@FancyGeeks Thanks for the Reply, i just discovered her Character(Comicstorian - Full Story) and i really like her Character, but thoughout i was waiting for the Part on how she ended up in that World, there was a confusing moment where her Brother Pulled her Back in to the Real World, but than somehow they got back? Dont know have to rewatch that Part..
@@brucedoyle4055 You're very welcome! I'm just happy people watch my videos at all! It turned out that was a pocket universe set up to be just like her orginal universe for plot reasons. She escaped it and returned to the main Marvel Universe.
Sweet! Thanks for clicking it! TH-cam has been showing people my videos lately too... maybe I'm being blessed by the almighty algorithm... a man can hope.
I know spider-gwen pretty well but never knew much about gwen pool. This video was good timing. Gwen pool just dropped in fortnite. She has a music track that sings about a multiverse. I took intrest to finally know more about her. I loved spider-gwen. Why'd it take me so long to check out gwen pool? Her lifes basically a video game where she controls the story. Thats freaking cool
If you decide to buy The Unbelievable Gwenpool 1: Believe It trade paperback, be careful. People are asking anything from $99-$200 for it online. It's worth about $10. lol
@FancyGeeks lol. I'll keep that in mind. She's 10 dollars in fortnite, too. I'm an adult gamer and superhero fan. In fortnite, I have every Marvel dc character ever added. Being an adult who works, I can get the characters the kids have to beg their parents for. I have over 1200 characters last checked.
@@mikaelamonsterland Kevin Feige spoke last week about the impact of the first marvel season inside Fortnite. Fortnite players wanted to learn more about the comics and movies etc and it shows because most videos I'm watching about Gwenpool is Fortnite players young and old wanting to learn more not just happy with oh cool new skin.
@@FancyGeeks her story is basically complete and unbelievable gwenpool is pretty much the only great main issue comic she has. Other than that, there's literally nothing to expand on her because unlike the other marvel characters, she doesn't have any high stakes except for only decline popularity. Which also results in the fact that she'll be in maybe cameos at best, but getting her own spotlight is gonna be absolutely rough.
Gwenpool's only relationship to Deadpool is a similar name (Gwen Poole is her actual name) and a similar costume. While they do Pal around some, they're not really related to one another in the fiction of the Marvel Universe. They do both break the forth wall though so I see where you're coming from but Gwen has no healing factor and wasn't in weapon X. Welcome to the channel!
Did you accidentally make this video just before she was reveiled in the next Fortnite Season, or did you post this video because of it? Because if it was the first, what a good timing.
Do you not have eyes? You can see for yourself when this was uploaded, which was YEARS ago. She is a comic book character, not a fortnite character. It is literally right under the title, like... how do you not know how youtube works if you're here, using it?
Nah, if you believe Gwenpool is nothing more than "Pink costumed lady Deadpool", you're wrong. If you've ever read the Unbelievable Gwenpool comic run, you'd understand the difference. Simply put, she's a character that goes through multiple identity crises, regularly deals with sacrifice and loss, while also breaking the fourth wall at a level which Deadpool isn't capable of (the only thing I've seen that matches GP's level of 4th wall breaking is Grant Morrison's time writing DC's Animal Man). Personally, I feel Gwenpool is waaay better than Deadpool, although DP's stories can be well told at times.
She’s from Fortnite short and simple use your brains.
I know you are probably joking... But i cant tell, if tou are.
@@zombu9371 It made me literally lol. I'm tempted to pin it.

Amazingly soon.

@@UltraInstinct-yn1ft That's actually true, she can break the forth wall and has hung out with Deadpool a lot recently.
Goated explanation
I try.
Did you accidentally make this video just before she was reveiled in the next Fortnite Season, or did you post this video because of it?
Because if it was the first, what a good timing.
This video is four years old but by pure coincidence I was making it into shorts the day before the Fortnite Marvel trailer.

To be fair, @ReiCaixa is aware she's a comic character.
I see myself in Gwen huh huh.
I see what you did there. 😆
Finally, I can say I recognized a Fortnite character that isn't Spider-Man. This is why I play Minecraft
Lol congrats 🎉
Short answer on this character, imagine deadpool but WAY less popular and existence is pointless cuz lady deadpool is a thing
