Unflawed female characters that make all the right decisions get called a "Mary Sue"

Unflawed male characters also suck to be fair, give me a group of fuck-ups any day over Jason Statham types.

Jason Statham types still have flaws, they're being played by Jason Statham

Flawed female characters get called Mary Sues lmao

If someone thinks Rey is a Mary Sue and Luke Skywalker is not, they need their head examined.

Rey's only flaw was her acting. Lol "flawed".

And Luke is not a Gary stu. He's a Padawan who happened to have an emotional connection to the bad guy he could leverage. If you actually watch the OT you realize that Luke is straight bad at being a Jedi.

Rey is the most perfect person ever who don't need no Jedi master to ruin her yass girl vibe.

I could write a thesis on why only people with brain rot compare the two.
