>>111909938>Well given that her frequent goal is to find "her place in all this" and she keeps looking in the wrong places for that, I'd say so.That's not a flaw. That's like saying it's a character flaw that you can't find your glasses when they were on your face the whole time.
>This is almost impossible to calculate, but I'm sure Han could have come in pretty useful in the future.Basically saying that the deaths of neither Han nor Luke were a direct issue for her. Good thing she could fly the Millenium Falcon like a pro on day one, and Chewie goes right along with her, or Han's death might have indeed posed a problem.
>Yes. When Luke senses that Rey started accepting the pull of the Dark Side he criticizes her for this, and reacts in horror.Perhaps, but this is the same Luke who went in to kill his nephew because he had some bad dreams. His reaction reflects worse on Luke than it does on Rey.
>And I think that all these metrics are you moving the goalposts in any case.Anon, if she had genuine flaws that she had to overcome in order to grow, if she made mistakes that had negative consequences for her, if other characters looked at her fucking up and went "you dumbass, what did you do?", she wouldn't be a Mary Sue. Her being able to pick up a lightsaber and beat Kylo, to just shoot stormtroopers with a pistol, to fly and repair the Millennium Falcon like a pro, and master force techniques without any training would all be way more acceptable if there was anything negative happening to her at all.
Heck, remember that time she trained with Luke's lightsaber and almost crushed two aliens after fucking up and cutting through a rock? Blowing a hole in her hut because of her force contact with Kylo? Did she face any consequences for that? Oh, the aliens were annoyed, but that's all.
Maybe she's not a Mary Sue, but she sure isn't a well written character in a well written story.
