female character who is a trained spy and fighter doing competent combat stuff: mary sue
male 19 year old blonde kid, grew up on a farm playing with toys his whole life now infiltrating an enemy base, uses magic within several hours of learning it exists, and becomes an expert fighter pilot on his first try: this is normal
luke kind of sucked at the magic stuff, and well everything really, until return of the jedi tho. Except for shooting stuff I guess, but he "used to bullseye womp rats with his t-9" or whatever
the weirdest take I remember was that Dick Masterson guy who complained that Rey wouldn't have been a scavenger, she would have more realistically been a prostitute
I could see his point if this series didn't have a nineteen year old making vroom vroom noises while playing with toy planes blow up a super weapon. Or literal teddy bears own the United States army. Realism isn't a concern when it comes to star wars.
I remember the main female character getting way more hate for being a "mary sue."

not negating the first part of what you said
That was more for rey in The force awakens, you had to be deeper into the manosphere to be offended about Jynn Erso.

I dunno, if a teddy bear dropped a log on my car it would probably blow up the same way.
Lmao the hiding the napalm in the tree trick, get's em every time :commiku:
But I just don't see the teddy bear lifting the log. The scene where one glides in on little wings is particularly bad
Rey had the disadvantage of having her backstory rewritten twice.
Rey wasn't the greatest character in a lot of ways, the movies did suck, but not for the reasons chuds mald over.
