Ok. Here’s my issue with this. I like everyone on this time, I am a huge fan of each of them individually, and even the majority of the team as a whole, but I don’t like Squirrel Girl being on this team.
I’m a fan of Squirrel Girl from the Great Lakes Avengers and from when she was the nanny for Luke and Jessica, but I don’t like her having an entire book of her own and being on a mainstream team. Granted, I’ve only read the first few issues of her solo series, but I feel putting her in the spotlight takes away from the mystique of her being the inexplicable ass-kicker that she was. It lends to ridiculous stuff like the Galactus issue, and turns SG into a Deadpool style joke.
Just not my cup of tea. I’ll still be reading this, but I’m worried.
The thing about Squirrel Girl being this “inexplicable ass-kicker” as you describe her is that if she can easily defeat menaces like Thanos and Doctor Doom, why the hell haven’t the Avengers tried to recruit her in the first place?!
