atopfourthwall: siphersaysstuff: How DARE Rey know how to pilot a mass-produced stock freighter and know about the modifications put on it by a being she worked with extensively for like two decades and likely put in some of the mods herself when the man who hasn’t even seen the ship in years didn’t know about them. I don’t even get why people keep bringing up the “she defeated a Sith lord!” thing. Did everyone forget the guy had a big friggin’ blaster wound in his side? And that he kept hitting it in order to give himself enough adrenaline and anger to keep going? Rey is awesome, but if he was in good health the fight would have probably only lasted a few seconds. Is “Mary Sue” just becoming a buzzword like “Strawman” to mean whatever the hell morons want it to mean? Pretty much, as such I am trying not to even use the word in serious discussion anymore and hoping to phase the word out of my volcabulary completely. Lily Peet really put it best when he stated that all the term Mary Sue is these days is a classy way of sayng “I don’t like your character but I’m not smart enough to articulate why I don’t like your character and what about it could be improved so instead I’m just gonna keep repeating this term that sounds smart and hope something comes from that” -- source link
