ITT: Male Mary Sue characters
>>
>>68097736
How?

Aren't Mary Sues in no real danger at any point? Glass gets destroyed by a bear, starves most of the film, gets injured at many points past the bear attack and at the end of the movie he's basically left with nothing.

>get assraped by a bear
>have his son murdered in front of his very eyes
>needs the help and charity of natives to survive
>has to steal from le trappers
>falls from a cliff and luckily escapes death
>dies at the end

Please familiarise yourself with the term.

literally a trained and succesful cop

Characters who are disliked by people who aren't portrayed as totally evil aren't mary sues.

>>68098196
This is not a mary sue. He's shown to be an asshole lots of people dislike and then he dies

fully qualified chemist. shitty job. gets cancer. gets fucked up all the time. never gets to enjoy the money. many people hate him

I didn't even watch till the end. What a shitty film. Movie should've ended after that bear scene.

...who took on a highly trained group of thieves / terrorists with military grade weaponry and ridiculing those LA and FBI mooks who doubted him in the process, plus reconnecting with his wife.
>>
>>68098262
>fully qualified chemist
Whilst I agree he isn't a mary sue, that doesn't change anything. Mary sues can be fully trained. They'd usually have a dumb amount of qualifications, actually.
>>
>>68098081
I don't think you know what a Mary Sue is. Adversity does not make a character exempt from being a mary sue.
>>
>>68097736
Not at all.
But the Indian son subplot was an unnecessary addition to actual story of Glass.
The same thing for the Indian tribe looking for the girl, even though the battle at the first part is probably the best part of the film.
>>
>>68098325
Permanently crippling adversity does. He gets fucked up by everything that happens and then dies
>>
>>68097736
Mary sue has no real meaning.
>>
>>68097736
This better be bait, because otherwise you're too stupid to realize this was based on actual events.
>>
>>68098441
>Permanently crippling adversity does.
No it doesn't. I could create a character who is, say, blinded in a chemical accident, but that same chemical enhances all of his other senses to a point where he's better off than 99%
of people with vision.
>>
>>68097736
>It's a "feminist tries to shitpost on /tv/" episode

Get mad at Disney for creating bland Mary Sues and not at the people complaining about it, you cunt.
>>
>>68098521
The very fact that he relies on an Indian to heal his wounds means that he's not a mary sue.

Fucking retard.
>>
>>68098481
Cisstraight white men are the mary sues of reality.
>>
>>68098521
But it isn't permanently crippling in that case, because he's better than 99% of people with vision

>How?
>>68098081
He was good at everything, he knew how to speak all the languages,knew all the routes,knew how to heal himself,knew how to hunt and everybody loved him cept Tom Hardy.
>>
>>68098568
Relying on other characters also does not make a character not a mary sue. Mary sue is just a word used to describe a characterization you don't like. One person's mary sue, can be another's well developed character.
>>
>>68098635
Everyone of the time period knew how to speak relevant languages, hunt and basic medicine. He was in no way special than the rest of the characters, "cept" he was out for revenge.

Also, by definition, Mary Sues save the day.
The Revenant is a revenge story.
>>
>>68098635
>knew how to heal himself

No he didn't. Dude was crawling around with festering wounds until the magic injun helped him.

>knew how to hunt

If he did he wouldn't have ended up sneaking up on a bear with cubs and gotten rekt, and the magic injun wouldn't have been needed to give him Buffalo liver.

Relying on other characters most definitely means they are not a mary sue, unlike Rey and the new cunt from Rogue One :^)

Now back to jizzabel with you.

my god, just saw this yesterday, what an overrated piece of shit.
the technical department is god tier, but the script, Dicaprio performance and the music is just plain awful
it's a glorified die hard movie on steroids, it's almost comical after some point, it reminded me ot he initial parts in the naked gun with OJ simpson.

Hardy was awesome.

No.
Shittest bait ever or you're a retard.
>>
>>68098677
>Mary sue is just a word used to describe a characterization you don't like. One person's mary sue, can be another's well developed character
different anon, but the way I've always thought of a Mary Sue is a character who needs little to no learning curve to overcome any challenge thrown at them. They just tend to instantly solve things.

Gary Stu

so the indian girl was kidnapped by the french and was with them all the time? (not thread related by i didn't understand that, iƱarritu montage is awful)

There are no set rules as to what is, or isn't, a mary sue, other than the ones you make up. Whatever you decide breaks your suspension of disbelief for that character.

Some might look at characters like Superman, Batman, or James Bond as mary sues, but I would disagree with them. I felt like their abilities and characterizations fit the universe they are in. They aren't wrong to have that opinion though.
>>
>>68098976
>There are no set rules as to what is, or isn't, a mary sue, other than the ones you make up
Not true at all.
>>
>>68098976
TFA fag detected and pretending Rey cannot be a Mary Sue by any defintion because no defintion exists. It does.
>>
>>68098081
>dies at the end

That's actually part of the Mary Sue trope.
>>
>>68098855

Yeah. They stole her and kept her as a sex slave.
>>
>>68099026
Very true. A character being a mary sue has less to do with the character, and more to do with the person watching said character.

Daily reminder - Filgertz did nothing wrong. It's not his fault, that film is directed by retarded mexican.
>>
>>68099151
complete horseshit
>>
>>68099151
you are just trying to make out Rey haters have no reason to call her a Sue beyond their own perception, which is not close to the truth
>>
>>68099094
Exactly. There is no true definition. It all depends on how much you are willing to believe a given character should be able to do.
>>
>>68097736
This is literally the opposite of a Mary Sue.
>>
>>68099255
I'm saying that their own expectations of what a character should know how to do, behave like, or react to a given situation is the vast majority of what makes a character a mary sue to them.
>>
>>68099264
Fuck off you boring cunt with this desperate shit

>>
>>68099458

>>
>>68098081
He didn't die at the end.
He got spared by the indians because he was the one who saved Pocaqwa.
>>
>>68098635
>he knew the language
Many people knew the language back then
>knew how to heal himself
Lol no he didn't, the dude was covered in injuries
>knew how to hunt
They're fucking fur traders. No fucking shit they know how to hunt
>everyone loved him
They felt bad leaving him there to die.
>>
>>68098635
>he knew how to speak all the languages
He knew how to speak Pawnee because he lived in a Pawnee tribe, had a Pawnee wife and a Pawnee son.
The Ree langue is close to the Pawnee language.

He was a scout.

He didn't knew how to heal himself, hence why his wounds were rotting.

He was a fur trader.

He was a valuable member of the team.
>>
>>68099589
IƱarritu didn't have the balls to kill Glass after all he did and suffer to get the revenge, is more than obvious tha the guy dies, he sees his fucking dead wife anon.
>>
>>68099573
if you think you are right then you must be a moron or female
>>
>>68099781
He sees his fucking dead wife every fucking time in the movie.

The indians walk past him, mate. The chief indian, who is the one that scalps individuals, walks past him, then it is revealed to the audience that the indian woman he saved was Powaqa, the one they were searching for.

And then this scene shows that they did just walk past him.
>>
>>68099790
>ad hominem
You sure showed me.
>>
>>68100029
see the fight scene again, all the wounds Glass gets and tell me how he survived that, again, anon.
>He sees his fucking dead wife every fucking time in the movie.
while awake? in front of him? are you sure?
i never talked abot the indians, at all, he dies from all the wounds and the fucking knife wound in his leg.
>>
>>68100170
>all the wounds Glass gets and tell me how he survived that, again, anon.
The same way he survived everything else in the movie, including a bear attack.
