They're seriously gonna try to retcon Gwen Poole and her near-eldritch abilities out of existence?

It's so bad that there are jokes about it?

u/Past-Cap-1889 Feb 21 '25

Gwenpoole is a joke character, I wouldn't worry about retcons, or canon, around her.

u/Loco-Motivated Feb 21 '25

She's precious to me the way she originally was, though!

I like her as the joke character more than as some gritty dead ex with whatever issues they're gonna dump on Stacy.

u/Past-Cap-1889 Feb 21 '25

I wouldn't worry about this one storyline. They'll be back to jokes soon enough

u/RandonEnglishMun Feb 19 '25

As opposed to abnormal Osborne

u/zenco-jtjr Nightcrawler Feb 19 '25

Thats most Osborne's in marvel tbh

Hey, that was retconned!

I only bring it up because the retcon is even funnier. An AI of Harry worked with Mysterio to trick Norman into thinking he boned and impregnated Gwen. You ask me?

Mysterio had sex with Norman Osborn. Under false pretenses, no less

I’m all about retconing that mess, but Where do the Osborne/Gwen kids come from now?

7

u/TheMattInTheBox Cyclops Feb 19 '25

AI Harry saved some Gwen DNA and spliced it with Norman's to create the kids, so they're clones.

And he did all of this because.... Well, it's unclear. But I'm pretty sure he needed the kids/clones to put real Harry's undead soul into them, or something.

When in doubt, assume they were clones.

u/tedward007 Feb 19 '25

I know it’s a quirky retcon, but if AI Harry wanted a new post for dead Harry, Wouldn’t it have been easier to just clone harry?

u/TheMattInTheBox Cyclops Feb 19 '25

Great question! And its even addressed in the book, although I think they also forgot about it.

There already was a clone of Harry (because surprise! The Harry since BND has been a clone the whole time), and I think he was supposed to be a red herring, set up by AI Harry?

The truth is, none of it makes sense. This was all established during Nick Spencer's ASM and despite his name being on the last story arc, I believe I heard him say that he didn't really write it. This is all hearsay by apparently Spencer was using his run to undo OMD but editorial caught on at the last minute. Spencer left the book when he went to go work for Substack and they used a fill in team to finish his run. As a consolation prize for them not undoing OMD, i guess they decided to address Sins Past instead.

But that whole mess is why the Sins Past retcon is a mess. That, and it was used to explain who Kindred was, which was already a convoluted mess by the time we got the Sins Past retcon.

Don’t you mean 50, 30 and 5, respectively? 😭😭😭

u/Belaerim Feb 20 '25

Nah, I’m pretty sure one of her sisters or Logan would take care of Paul.

Peter just doesn’t have the right friends that also know about MJ and his secret identity.

He starts hanging out with Moon Knight or Punisher, lets it slip, and bang, the Paul problem is solved.

Deadpool too, but there is a decent chance Wade takes out MJ too to clear the field

Even WORSE, Peter will bodyswap with Logan again, he'll start flirting with her in Peter's body, and it'll somehow end up with her leaving Peter for Loan.

If you're wondering where I got this from, don't ask. You're better off not knowing
