Spelling/grammar fix(es)


* BittersweetEnding: In Issue #8, at least for [[spoiler: Agent Loki.]] While things end on a pretty good note for them, anyone familiar with their [[Comicbook/LokiAgentOfAsgard own book]] knows that [[spoiler: things are about to come crashing down hard around them, particularly their friendship with Thor.]] The footnotes even suggest you [[SnicketWarningLabel avoid said book if you want that happy feeling to last]].

* ContinuitySnarl: Design changes don't really trickle down to this book from the rest of Marvel for some reason. [[spoiler:So Galactus continues to be purple instead of gold, Loki still looks like he did before ''Comicbook/SecretWars2015'', etc..]]

* EarWorm: As suggested by the title quote, the ''Spider-Man'' theme song keeps getting [[FilkSong filked]] with new lyrics by and about Doreen. (the footnotes also have other versions, and ''Squirrel Girl Beats Up The Marvel Universe'' has a ringtone attempting lyrics about [[Comicbook/PatsyWalker Hellcat]]). Directly [[InvokedTrope invoked]] by the narrator in the first issue of Volume 2, and the series ends with a version about the revelation of her civilian identity.

* {{Retcon}}: The series invokes CanonDiscontinuity on her mutant status, instead saying multiple times that she has "partially squirrel blood." The first issue of the second run made it clear - in a deliberately overblown way - that she is Most Definitely Not A Mutant. Doreen was born with her powers, apparently because her mother suffered almost every superpower-granting trope (from squirrel bites to radioactive trees and untested nut products) during her ''eventful'' pregnancy. Sadly, the real reason for the {{Retcon}} probably has less to do with leaving Doreen free for live-action appearances and more to do with making sure that her fun comics aren't burdened down by the rather dark problems all the mutant heroes are coping with in the ''All-New Marvel'' Universe. Comicbook/NewAvengers2015 uses it to handwave why the whole terrigen trouble doesn't affect her.

** Doreen's guest appearance in ''Comicbook/AllNewWolverine'' established that she tends to assume this as part of the powerset of all {{animal themed superbeing}}s. So when she needed to talk to Mew in v2 Issue #27... Cue montage of her unsuccessfully asking cat related superheroes like Tigra, White Tiger, Kitty Pryde, Beast, and Hellcat for help.

* TakeThat: Doreen [[https://www.polygon.com/comics/2017/8/31/16233398/secret-empire-squirrel-girl-savage-land blows off]] ComicBook/SpiderMan's attempts to get her involved in ''Comicbook/SecretEmpire'' in favor of [[ItMakesSenseInContext saving dinosaurs with her computer science skills]]. Besides being more fun for her she knows the other heroes can handle it and at the end [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore things will be different]] [[StatusQuoIsGod except not really]].

** Played straight the cover for Issue #1 of the relaunch. The [[Comicbook/NewAvengers2015 New Avengers]] are prominently featured on the cover, but don't show up in the story at all.
