I know you're a level-headed dude so indulge me a little further -
Give me an example of a genuine Mary Sue in pop-culture. People say Rey from the new Star Wars joints. Is that fair? Are there others or is there more of a fear of Mary Sue's than actual Mary Sue's in existence?
Like how nikkas believe only Black comedians are made to wear dresses but pretty much every male comedic actor since the days of Shakespeare plays have cross-dressed![]()
So I honestly believe Rey from SW is a Mary Sue. I'm a very sensitive about how that term gets thrown around. I still think she learned and mastered her powers way to quickly and it was just very little struggle there. If I had to identify a Mary Sue, that would be it. Katniss from the Hunger Games is the complete opposite of a Mary Sue. Her struggle is the story. She is not likable, and it takes the supporting cast and her relationships with them to make the audience start to come to her side. Same with Ripley from Aliens. When she's introduced, she's stand-offish and comes across as judgmental and prudish, but then over the course of the film (and series) you start to see who she really is and appreciate her strengths because of her struggle. No one likes a character that just instantly is powerful and has no struggle or learning arc.
