Do you like Gabby Kinney as a character?

[Slicknickshady]

As a Scooby Doo fan. I don’t get the Scrappy Doo comparison. At least these poll numbers don’t confirm that. More like 50/50 here like I thought. 80-90 percent of Scooby Fans hate Scrappy it seems.

But I guess I get it’s a little divisive.

I absolutely despise her especially when her personality is basically little girl Deadpool.

I didn't mind Scrappy growing up, so I really don't get the hate for him, either.

[Wind Rider]

I’m indifferent toward her.

Y'know, this thread just made me think of the irony that even Wolverine himself was a divisive character when he first appeared, with a lot of people wanting Marvel to kill him off. It wasn't until Claremont/Lee got hold of him that his popularity began to skyrocket.

Right now, Gabby has only really been written by Taylor. Hopeless didn't use her at all, and her only other appearances outside ANW and XMR were in the Ghost Rider and Hawkeye guest spots. The former was just plain bad all around (even Laura was written horribly). The latter was quite well-received. Tamaki's X-23 is going to be the first time a writer other than Taylor is going to be using her extensively, so I honestly think a thread like this is a bit premature.

She is an annoying DisneyXD character

I think over the years people have started to dislike him more.

I don’t understand Gabby hate. I do think she is a tricky character to write and if I’m the wrong hands.. could be annoying. She hasn’t been so far.

With Red and so many characters to serve.. I think she’s easy for some to point to and say.. She’s taking time away from so and so. When I reality it is just too many characters. Love the book. But tough to give everybody time.

[SpiderClops]

Hate seems like a strong word. But I don't like her one bit.

[SpiderClops]

I've said this before. Gabby is that annoying version of Spider-Man in team books when the writer doesn't know what to do with Spidey. So he makes him tell really bad jokes and be mostly annoying. BUT at least in case of Spider-Man, everyone else also find Spidey annoying. Whereas Gabby is worse that no one calls her out for how annoying she's being.

I'd say the difference there from the characters' perspective is that Spider-Man is a grown man acting in an annoying way, while Gabby is a 13 year old girl. It'd be a lot less cringeworthy for a kid to be doing things like that vs an adult doing it.

[Star_Jammer]

She doesn't register strongly enough for me to hate her (apart from Red, I can just ignore her), but I don't like her.

So...who?

[berserkerclaw]

i liked her fine in the first six issues but then i wasnt a fan of her or Jonathan as the book went on

[Cerridwen]

Much better than Laura

[WebLurker]

I really like the character. Not sure if she's developed enough to hold her own series, but I think she's changed the X-23 mythos for the better. The relationship between the two sisters has become one of my favorite things about the franchise now.

How ever since she got here all she's done is outshine Laura a lot. If it was choice between Gabby and Damian Wayne I'd pick Damian any day.
