Because it's trying to label something in a way that puts it in the same class as lovely self-insertion fan fiction, instead of actually trying to argue why the character is bad. And it's just meaningless and lazy. And what exactly is the argument, that she has a lot of abilities? Ok and that is so bad how? It's obviously part of the story that she is special somehow. Do you also think Clark Kent is a Mary Sue? It's just dumb to even use that phrase unless it's clearly self insertion.

A Mary Sue is an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character, a young or low-rank person who saves the day through unrealistic abilities. Often this character is recognized as an author insert or wish-fulfillment.

Hmmmm seems to fit Rey to a T, except for the self insert part.

Superman is unable to save his dad and Lois at one point. He is often put in the position to decide between two people to save when only one can be saved. At least in the Chris Reeves movies, which are the last superman movies I watched.

Half the posts in some threads are about how Batman is NOT a heroic figure and is in-fact the greatest criminal menace in Gotham, that he's a piece of poo poo for even BEING Batman at all and he's worse than useless, etc..

I hate how in recent films (not just Batman) theyre doing this thing where they argue that the heros ARE the problem because the bad guys come to fight them. Thats like saying the police are the problem when people commit crimes. Its a dumb argument, and if the heros werent there youd all be slaves or dead.

I saw one of those comic book movies on a long flight, it was poo poo and I never want to see another.

A too-big cast of characters with seemingly random but also extremely mismatched powers (some people have actual extremely powerful super powers while others have the ability to be "very pretty" or "good with a bow and loving arrow") fight some robots and then a bunch of slavs fly up in the air and need to be rescued and then the robot is defeated. Every scene was a contrived set piece to either show off so much action and CG you go numb from it, or a bunch of "cool quips" between characters to show how cool and quippy they are. Absolute trash, but god drat do they shovel a lot of those. Every time I walk past the theatre it's something like "MARVEL'S AGE OF ICE VS DC" "Captain America 5: The Hulk Insurrection" "AVENGERS ULTRA: The Winter Spidermans" "A bunch of garbage with a stan lee cameo 12: Keep buying tickets for this trash you loving man-children". It all blurs together like someone's putting comic book names and characters into some random plot generator then throwing hundreds of millions at it.

I do agree with your point about the disparity of powers some of these heros have. Some are near omnipotent (Vision, Scarlet Witch, Phoenix and Hulk to a lesser extent), but yet they never seem to use the full scope of their powers.

I guess they dont want the movie to be 15 minutes long.

Empire Strikes Back had no death star and is the best film in the series by a mile. Hmmmmm wonder if there is any correlation?

Calling Rey a mary sue is sexist

http://bit.ly/2eYCmRx

She says the words "mary sue" itself are sexist:

"The Mary Sue thing in itself is sexist because it's the name of a woman," she says. "Everyone was saying that Luke had the exact same [abilities]. I think Rey is incredibly vulnerable, and nothing she's doing is for the greater good. She's just doing what she thinks is the right thing. And she doesn't want to do some of it, but she feels compelled to do it. So for me, I was just confused."

I thought of a way to sum up my thoughts on why the VVitch is a terrible movie, and its because its 3 different movies and doesn't understand the story its telling. The first act sets up a movie about a witch terrorizing a family. The second act has nothing to do with awitch and is just about a family tearing itself apart through fear. Then the third act is about the witch again and just over the top cheese. Act 2 would have been a good movie, but its completely undermined by the context its placed in by act 1. Act 3 would have been a good ending to evil dead. Act 1 is still pretty bad though.
This trailer just kept getting better and better. I have to see this movie.

We got robots, we got cavemen, we got kungfu, and loving roman soldiers from the future!
