... now the OP appears to support what may be called a
Gnostic Fiction Postulate(
GFP).
According to the GFP my guess is that the earliest gospel was written against the Pauline writer(s). In this case the antithesis would be the gospel writers reacting against the original gnostic Pauline writer(s)
1 (thesis) in the first century. In the second century, according to the
Proto-Orthodox Postulate (
POP) a synthesis resulted
2 in what came to be known as the
Roman Catholic Church (
RCC).

... in terms of scientific respectability of the my thesis I may appeal to Robert M. Price, and especially to Jean Magne (reviewed positively by Jacob Neusner).
1 A few people have proposed the Gospel named Mark was based on the Pauline epistles -
- Tom Dykstra, Mark Canonizer of Paul: A New Look at Intertextuality in Mark's Gospel, 2014
- R.G. Price, Deciphering the Gospels, 2018
2 Such a synthesis was postulated
[first?
] by some of the Dutch Radicals in the mid to late 19th century (after supposed decades of adversary), but now, with both (i) the proposal that the
G.Mark is based on the Pauline epistles
and (ii) the advent of what might be called the 'Marcion-priority' of the gospel origins
a, one might wonder if such a synthesis was not overt or even necessary, so happened naturally. That, in turn, might give more weight to propositions that the Pauline texts were written
or modified in and around the Marcionite community, as proposed by Hermann Detering and Robert M Price
b (and, if not, the Marcionite's collection of them prompted the writing of the gospels).
