So, I'm having a hard time getting, uh, comic book universe citizenship?

You think I haven't been waiting for this moment?! It was inevitable, you horror-sized Mister Potato Head. You killed my only friend and made me your henchman. If you kill me today, I'm making sure you're canceled too.

Honestly, we should have started with this fight. Whenever super heroes team up, they fight over a misunderstanding at the beginning. But now I see this is the setup of a complicated hero/anithero relationship. We'll cross paths over the years, be forced to cooperate despite -- dude... you're supposed to pull punches against normals...

--Gwendolyn Poole (Earth-TRN565)

You're not the henchman anymore. You're facing a horde of aliens with super guns. Just you. You're the hero. Heroes don't die that way. They win. Hooo. Okay.

I actually think we are in more of a classic sword-and-sorcery dungeon. Totally different than the super hero thing. Good thing I've got the cleric with me, eh? Heh heh heh.

--Gwendolyn Poole (Earth-TRN565)

I'm shooting at evil dwarves from Ghost Rider's car, and I crashed on the better Hawkeye's couch last night! I'll enjoy that for a moment!

--Gwendolyn Poole (Earth-TRN565)

This world isn't fair, Teddy. But look. There's a better one, right in there. A shared escapist universe built by hundreds of human creators over decades... a singular linked vision. It's real! I can almost touch it! It's been calling to me! I know that!

--Gwendolyn Poole (Earth-TRN565)

Did I just lose a chunk of my life in-between scenes? Pages? Am I just living from panel to panel?

--Gwendolyn Poole (Earth-TRN565)

Teddy... we're not back "back in the real world." This is all fake. We never left the comic.

I'm not a mutant. I know that. And I know that this is how I die. I've known that from issue one of this miniseries. And... if I wanted to... I could use my remaining page space to give myself a more dignified ending. But I'm just... so tired. No one will miss me, anyway.

--Gwendolyn Poole (Earth-TRN565)

A family. They're humanizing you... This is your book. And I'm-- I'm just the guest star...

--Gwendolyn Poole (Earth-TRN565)

Gwenpool	Trust me, this is how you want it. The other option is we die tragically to show how high the stakes are. But I don't think we have anything to worry about. That usually happens to newer characters the writers didn't grow up with, or legacy characters whose freshness has worn off.
Superior Spider-Man	At the risk of encouraging your insanity, what, pray tell is a "legacy character"?
Gwenpool	You know. Ones who were created as hipper, edgier versions of previously existing characters, but just end up making fans want the originals back. So, uh... maybe we should go hide.
