And indeed, the series closed shop on Nov 2019.

* LookOnMyWorkYeMightyAndDespair: The TropeNamer is referenced in the Author's Note in issue #47, when Doreen and Nancy visit the Ozymandias Statue Park.
--> All I know is that statue park in particular is going to last ''' ''forever'' ''', and I am deffinitely '' '''not''' '' interested in reading any poetry that might suggest otherwise!!!

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: Melissa's]] plan to frame Squirrel Girl for her own crimes ''nearly'' works and her defeat even inspires her to fix the flaws in her plan... But it never occurred to her that [[ThePowerOfFriendship Doreen's friends and fellow superheroes can easily vouch for her character]] when its time for arrests.

* CallBack: The second issue featured both multiple references to her debut issue when she defeated SelfDemonstrating/DrDoom, and a bit featuring the Squirrel-A-Gig, a one-off vehicle from the ''Deadpool/GLI Sumer Fun Spectacular''.

* BadDate: Volume 2, #8 featured a montage of these for Doreen, including dates with the Human Torch, a couple villains, and a Sentinel. It ends with a date with a guy who thinks superheroes are a government conspiracy. Stupid, until you remember flat earthers exist

* BookEnds: The first issue starts with Squirrel Girl singing a filk of the ''WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967'' theme about her while out on patrol. The final issue has another version of that song about the revelation of her civilian identity as the accompiament for a CGI deepfake video of her past adventures created by Tony Stark.

* BookEnds: The first issue starts with Squirrel Girl singing a parody of the ''WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967'' theme about her while out on patrol. The final issue has another version of that song about the revelation of her civilian identity as the accompiament for a CGI deepfake video of her past adventures created by Tony Stark.

* 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 Series 2.
* EasilyForgiven: Deconstructed in Issue #34-35 where Doreen discovers that even though she's convinced that Kraven's a good guy, many other people aren't, and she hadn't been aware of just how villainous he'd been in the past. Finally, he admits to her that he isn't fully reformed, and she recognises just how much work he still has to do.

''The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl'' is an ongoing monthly comic book published by Creator/MarvelComics, debuting January 2015. After years spent on the sidelines of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse as a LethalJokeCharacter (and official nanny of ComicBook/TheAvengers), Doreen Green (ComicBook/SquirrelGirl) finally gets [[ADayInTheLimelight her own solo title]] in the form of this book. Having recently enrolled at [[CaliforniaUniversity Empire State University]], Doreen just wants to be a normal college student like everybody else -- easier said than done, when you got threats like ''ComicBook/{{Galactus}}, Devourer of Worlds'' on your [[PrehensileTail (literal)]] tail.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The line about Doreen being "legally distinct from a mutant" (with the emphasis on "legally") is a reference to the ongoing rights issues between the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse and Fox's ''[[Film/XMenFilmSeries X-Men]]'' franchise.

* LiteraryAgentHypothesis: A footnote from Creator/RyanNorth in one issue states "Listen, I don't make up these puns. I just write them down after following Doreen and Nancy around all day. It's actually a pretty great job, and they ignore me most of the time now!"

* BookEnds: The first issue starts with Doreen singing a very version of Spidey's theme just pretaining around her while out on patrol. The final issue brings that back only with her friends and fellow superheroes singing it this time after they beat the villains.

On May 2019, Ryan announced that the staff unanimously figured they went as far with the character they could go. [[https://aux.avclub.com/the-squirrel-girl-team-says-goodbye-on-its-own-terms-in-1834952104 Thus the series would come to an end at it's 50th issue]] and end on a high note.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: ''ComicBook/{{Galactus}}'' of all people is prone to this. From [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou threatening you]] with the destruction of your world if you can't solve the "ChooseYourOwnAdventure" issue to getting into arguments with the narrator.

* BadassAdorable: The first scene of this book opens with Doreen fighting off muggers ... while singing a customized version of [[WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967 Spider-Man]]'s theme song.

'''Doreen:''' Yeah, also, you can't eat nuts in space without a special helmet. I mean, ''you'' could, ''obviously,'' since you're Galactus, but, uh... but we couldn't.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: Melissa's]] plan to frame Squirrel Girl for her own crimes ''nearly'' works and her defeat even inspires her to fix the flaws in her plan... but it never occurred to her that [[ThePowerOfFriendship Doreen's friends and fellow superheroes can easily vouch for her character]] when its time for arrests.

* ImplausibleDeniability: The Deadpool trading card on Skrulls stops halfway through telling people how Skrulls can never be trusted to inform all that SKRULLS ARE GREAT AND TRUSTWORTHY. ALL HAIL THE SKRULLS! ... it'd be more convincing if the new writer hadn't felt the need to change to a green font color.

-->'''Tony''': So, Doreen! I know Nancy's been photographed helping her crimefight but since we're all friends here, I was curious...how do ''you'' know Squirrel Girl?

* LogicalWeakness: Squirrel Girl has Wolverine-style claws, though she doesn't use them much. Mostly because she doesn't really want to stab anyone, but also because she doesn't have healing factor, and getting the blood of her enemies into her system would be... unhealthy.

** 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.

* StableTimeLoop: According to the footnotes on the epilogue page for the time travelling arc featuring Doctor Doom [[spoiler:Old Lady Squirrel Girl in her will left the time blaster to Cody... what is exactly what kicked off this plot. Also there is an Old Lady Squirrel Girl and a time blaster with circular origin now.]]

* MesACrowd: How do you defeat a time-traveling Dr. Doom? [[spoiler: Multiple time loops and a friend who can translate C++ to ASCII in her head.]]

On May 2019, Ryan announced that the series would come to an end at it's 50th issue.

* BadassAdorable: The first scene of this book opens with Doreen fighting off muggers ... while singing a customized version of SpiderMan's theme song.

** Doreen decides the best way to defeat Kraven The Hunter is through reasoning with him, recognizing his ChallengeSeeker-tendencies and suggesting he look for a deadlier catch than herself or SpiderMan.
