Most people rag on her because she's beaten people way stronger than her. Let's call it ''joke induced stupidity'' for lack of a better term. She's still 100% legit though. Captain America's whole career is beating odds he shouldn't have been able to beat, and he's taken seriously. I don't know why Squirrel Girl wouldn't be taken seriously either. At her core, she's a comedic character with seemingly non-threatening powers. She also seems to have the same magic Steve had in regards to winning when she shouldn't. Good for her.
Besides, she's cute.

I wish there were more characters like squirrel girl, you know actually upbeat and happy about being hero. The more of those the better
I also don't get why people say her joke is tired, seriously? Has she even had a canon appearance since GLI summer spectacular, how long ago was that? And if she has was it anything more than a quick cutaway?
Personally I think another Great Lakes *fill in the blank* special is in order.

Why not pair up Squirrel girl with Spider-girl ?
I have an idea for a one-shot, why not have Squirrel girl face off against and team up with Spider-girl, the daughter of Spider-man. Originally Posted by Grico

I'm also in the "Squirrel Girl is awesome and in-canon, so deal with it" camp.
She's the Yin to the Marvel universe's Yang.You just have to be cool about it...

I think he wanted to do one, but wasn't allowed by Quesada due to Spider-Man and Mighty Avengers. Originally Posted by Grico

This year demands a Great Lakes Halloween Special!
I love Squirrel Girl and I don't see how she's "an old joke," since yeah, she beats characters like Thanos or Dr. Doom, but don't forget... Dazzler once beat Terrax and beat Enchantress several times. How is that any different? She's a character in her own right and she's very similar to Deadpool (funny how just because he has guns, he's considered "badass" while the happy-go-lucky gal with the nutty pluck is considered "a tired joke).

How's that any worse than Catwoman? In fact I'd bet a squirrel bite would hurt a hell of a lot more than a cat bite. Originally Posted by 40footwolf

Squirrel Girl's name fits right in!!
Well, that depends on which 'cat'. big cats v. domesticated ones. Originally Posted by Mr. Immortal

But I'd keep it in the Marvel U, as Catwoman also rocks. I mean, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, etc......puh-leeese!

Frankly, I think the whole 'tack your gender at the end' thing sounds silly. Although nowhere is it as bad as Legion of Super Heroes (Matter-Eater Lad, seriously? I don't care how cool a character he is, that's just silly. Iron Guts would be better, and that name sucks.). The only character it really works for at all is Superman, but I don't even want to get into that mess.
