Youtube video explaining what a "mary sue" is and how the left has used it it to shape movies to exemplify their own power rather than actual tell a story.
This is a video which is 13 minutes 25 seconds long and goes into the issue of "marry sue" charaters infesting movies. Such as Star Wars Force Awakens, Last Jedi. It us PARTICULARRLY useful in sharing and understanding how hollywerid does NOT want to tell a story but rather impose a world view and how the new movies are about themselves.
This can be seen how Kathleen Kennedy and her cardre of leftists singularly destroyed Star Wars (seriously so bad a story teller that Phantom Menace looks ok)
This is also vital with the new Marvel Comics Movie "Captain Marvel" comming out with uber leftist Brie Larson (and her body double) as a Mary Sue Female who can do no wrong and has all the power in the universe handed to her to impose her SJW power view upon the world.
Essentially the upcomming Marvel Movie is more akin to Captain Grievance Politics rather than a story. It is also important to remember the movie PR machine is now out in full force with puff pieces pointing out how this is the first woman superhero lead in a movie. (wonder woman?). Even Drudgereport.com fell victim to the BS PR machine hook line and sinker.
This is a very good summary of the Mary Sue character tool used to convey power rather than story.
Disclosure: I have no relation whatsoever to this video or author. I just found it interesting and though others would find it educational and informative.
Movie Ping.
“Variations
“Marty Stu”, “Gary Stu”, or “Larry Stu” are alternative names given to this trope, when the same wish-fulfillment aspect is applied to male characters.[15][16] The Star Trek: The Next Generation character Wesley Crusher was described, in hostile terms, as a “Gary Stu” by the feminist popular culture magazine Bitch.[17] There is speculation amongst fans and academics, mainly pejorative, that Wesley was a self-insertion character for Gene Roddenberry, Roddenberry’s middle name being Wesley.[18]”
I never could stand Wesley.
Captain Marvel (from Disney not the DC movie coming out)
is fitting in 100% into the SJW agenda. In fact Brie Larson is essentially a NPC media shill.

There are even rumors that she relinquishes her powers to “more oppressed victim class member” at some point.
I have no intent to pay money to see this anti-male, anti-america agenda themed, dreck. There is a reason this character NEVER succeeded all the way back to every incarnation since the seventies. Now hollyweird has made a movie for hollyweird not the public.
DEFINITELY not for the shareholders of publicly traded Disney.
I long hoped for Wesley to suffer a rather gruesome end.
There’s Mary Sue, and there’s Peggy Sue.
Peggy had her own song!
The left loves power fantasies, they love the dictator, they don;t understand the concept of due process and inherent rights, they want to fly by ignoring gravity, not by conquering it...
for later....
A Mary Sue character is by definition flawless and has no need to change. As a result, they’re boring characters in any story as there is no question of them overcoming anything. Who wants to watch boring characters?
Even forbes magazine has put out an article stating how Disney’s Captain Marvel is set up to fail or at least not do so well.
Can’t locate the link just now.
The net commentators, male, female, and comic/movie fans are all over this movie’s leftist politics OBEY OUR MESSAGE power play. (just one example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hv8oX9WOdI and again no relation)
They ripped apart Solo as Soylo. Last Jedi was just left is ashes. (it was so bad they just canceled Ryann Johnson’s Star Wars trilogy plans)
Wesley was my favorite Star Trek character, said no one ever.

I had never heard the term before so I had to look it up. It seems it goes back to the 1970s.
Well, that could be a good thing. Her best friend in this is Monica Rambeau’s mother. Maybe she’ll give her powers to Monica and we’ll get a much better Captain Marvel in Avengers Endgame. Brie Larson exiting stage left is essential for the continued success of the MCU (though I figure it’s all woke garbage from here out—look at Spider-Man: Far From Home with its “look at us, we got a tranny ‘actress!’”).
Well said!

Rey is a Mary Sue if the first order. Everything she does is perfect the first time. She flies the Falcon better than Lando. She skillfully fights a trained Sith (If that’s what Ren is defined as) the first time she holds a saber. And the leftists love to say, “If she’s a Mary Sue, what is Luke?” Luke was a skilled pilot and that’s it. He had to work for everything else, and he was still about as skilled as a padawan by the end of ROTJ. If Vader hadn’t been redeemed, Luke’s story would have ended there.
