Rey is a Mary Sue.

Name one character trait of hers that isn't "good at everything". Seriously, try.

She mastered flight, Jedi Force skills, lightsaber forms, how to operate and repair antique ships, and beat trained Jedi-types at lightsaber and Force combat by the time she was 5 and dumped on jakkoff.

Is she an anime character?

She doesn't have a character arc, has no presence in the movie, is completely flat yet is also perfect in every way. Oh, and not to mention that everyone loves her, and the Resistance trusts her with a sensitive mission and details within 5 minutes of meeting her.

I hope we see less of her and more of Kylo or Finn

Leia ignores Chewie after the death of Han and hugs Rey, a girl she's never met before, the daughter of loser junkers!

In "A New Hope," Leia ignores the destruction of her family and the genocide of her adoptive planet by the Death Star. She even jokes "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"

She should be devastated and somber.

5 years later, is Rey still a Mary Sue?

[–] ProgsReturn (2236) 5 years ago

Yes.

Yes. Even more so by the end. Rey is less an actual character & more so a poorly conceived & poorly written "idea" of an idealized female heroine played out on screen. Very strange thing to watch.
