Mulan (2020) spoilers -
Star Wars Episodes 6-9 - These are only two recent examples. But do people really like that shit? I'm not very familiar with Superman and at first glance he definitely appears to be unstoppable and crap. Which is one of the reasons why I never liked Superman but I will admit I'm pretty ignorant about him. But speaking to friends that are familiar with DC and Superman, they tell me there are ways to beat him without having to rely on Kryptonite. So that does make things interesting. And to not sound sexist, I'll talk about Neo. So, I'm wondering if casuals like Mary Sue and male equivalent characters? I also have to mention that when I see characters that are so strong and have little to no flaws, I go against them and root for the bad guys. lol --- #pipebomb_phil https://imgur.com/atWQoAs ...

I think it can be done well if taken to an extreme. Sometimes it is nice to just indulge in an absurd power fantasy and there can be some good humor with it. I feel like a lot of the time the more problematic part of a mary sue is them being boring cause there is nothing else to them except being OP or perfect.

Generally speaking, the only people who really like Mary Sue characters are the ones who are writing them as self-insert author avatars.

Is God a Mary Sue? I mean, if your character is already omnipotent it's hard to write meaningful drama for them

The name people use for the male version of a specific archetype is a forced meme? It's kind of a forced meme because nobody really used it for decades. It's not until TV Without Pity and TV Tropes decided that they needed a male term for Mary Sue because Mary Sue was too sexist that they came up with Gary Stu. The male version of a Mary Sue was also a Mary Sue for like 30+ years. And it's still a perfectly acceptable usage. Though conversely, most people never really knew what a Mary Sue was in the first place until TV Tropes went on their quest to shittily analyze every cliche in fiction and come up with terms for things that they think are clever, so one could easily argue how much authority TV Tropes and its insane crew should have over pop culture anyway. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
