"Moonstone."

Deadpool hasn't made as many appearances here lately, but he's been Venompool the last few times. Those crazy kids are making it work!

I haven't read all of Satana's appearances with Moonstone in Thunderbolts, but I'm not sure Moonstone was at her worst there.

Is this you temporarily writing Moon Knight off for now or is it that they're on their way to a therapy session & we'll be seeing updates each week?

I've definitely missed Deadpool being featured here even though he's was a main focal point besides Kurt for years. Still, it was nice to see him/them back even if it was all-too brief. Couples therapy huh? I mean, it's progress, not to mention a neat little angle/hook for storytelling.

I haven't read a lot of those Sat-era Thunderbolts issues either, but from what I have seen, she was NOWHERE as manipulative as her she was in the very beginning and when Hawkeye was on the team. She definitely softened up and used her manipulation skills to help motivate as a means of survival for the mission & basic survival moreso than manipulating teammates for shits n' giggles. At least that's what I got from it. I could be wrong.

Not 100% sure I get it- Pool's in a relationship with the symbiote, right? Wouldn't be the first time- I think he's even been in a polygamous/polyamorous (hard to tell what it counts as with symbiotes) relationship with them before.

I feel like this is going to be like what happened with Shiklah, where Sat comes in and saves Marc (though I think Kurt was in more trouble that time). I'll just admit it- hoping to see Mary return. She and Moonstone have real comedic potential with each other and it's likely that Moonstone's going to try to seduce Marc, so somebody needs to be there to stop that.

I mean, besides being a nice gag for comedic effect, if you think about it in terms of real life, just because a person has experience is relationships of any kind, doesn't necessarily mean they're good at them. Probably the same holds true for Wade, especially given his unique perspective on life & mental problems.
Honestly him getting counseling, especially Goo's version of 'Pool, is VERY progressively mature of him.

I'd be fine with that. Marc & Mary definitely seem to have chemistry don't they? I'd expect Daredevil to be inserted to cause conflict then if they ever do get together.

I'm pretty sure it was confirmed they did get together at some point, as Jake and Mary at least. Hard to tell though, considering Marc and his other identities don't get together that much.

Wade (most versions) seems to have a lot of underlying confidence issues- he's a lot more capable and loved than he thinks he is but jokes and makes inappropriate comments to cover up his feelings. He and the symbiote are probably doing fine but he doesn't realize that and wants to make an effort to show he cares.

Exactly, a true sign of unexpected but welcome maturity on his part.
