FINALLY.

A STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER I CAN BE PROUD OF .

SHE IS INDEPENDANT YET LOVING.
ATTRACTIVE YET NOT SEXUALIZED.

SHE DOESN"T FEEL THE NEED TO FALL IN THE ARMS OF THE STRONGEST RICHEST OR MOST ATTRACTIVE MAN IN THE GALAXY ,NOR IS SHE FORCED IN SOME CHEESY LESBIAN RELATIONSHIP, SHE IS STILL CAPABLE OF DEEP LOVE WITH A MAN.

The whole thing is filled with propaganda.

e.g. there was the scene where Rey and Finn both sneak off somewhere in the Millennium Falcon. While they are both panting heavily, the Rey says, "I can't believe we're doing this." This is subtle shit, and if you're not looking for it you will miss it, due to the fact that this is not presented in a overtly sexual way.

More obvious shit like

1) Finn incessantly grabs Reys hand every time they have to run away to the point she complains about it

2) Rey then OH SO CONVENIENTLY grabs Finn's hand to help him up the next time they have to run

3) The part where Finn MUST save Rey at all costs even if it means death... he gives no fuck for the resistances plan

4) After they are reunited they hug for such a long time, in the most awkward moment, then Han Solo has to break them up to say they better get the fuck out of there

The above doesn't include the long pauses, the staring and the innuendo between the two right the way through.

More obvious stuff like the Nazi caricature villains (including one who fights the black guy with a burning cross lightsaber, and they even throw in a nazi rally for good measure), the only semi-major white male characters in the film are two old men that they probably felt they needed to include out of marketing obligations: Han Solo who gets killed off and Luke Skywalker who shows up for 5 seconds at the end and literally went into hiding out of jedi guilt due to his failure in training the villain, which led to the deaths of his students. Why is anyone on /tv/ defending this SJW propaganda shit?
>>
>>63853559
Why do you think that is? (female and black leads being pushed so hard in a bastion of white nerdiness?)
>>
>>63853093
but finn rescued her on the star killer.
>>
>>63853286

the problem isn't there being strong female characters, even most hopeless /pol/tards cant really argue against that. the problem is it being done in a super patronizing and in your face way that ends up being obnoxious/demeaning. Which is what happened with rey a few times.

Harry Potter and Luke were both incredibly incompetent and relied on others to save them over and over again. With Harry, it's fine because he's a child, but Luke just kind of sucks. The only thing either of them are really good at is flying.

Luke, Harry and Rey are all self insert wish fulfillment characters. Luke is the original Mary Sue in modern cinema.

>>63854149

Mary Sues are liked by everyone and don't fail at things, so how is Luke a Mary Sue?

>>63854149
actually Luke is the damsel in distress, he constantly had to be saved by someone else.

>>63853202
She is good at absolutely everything, beats a Sith without having trained for even one minute, everyone likes her...there's no denying it. This is one instance where "Mary Sue" is literally accurate.

And that's not a bad thing.

If Rey was in ESB the following would have happened:

>She would have gone to Degobah and immediately reognized Yoda and then proceed to to teach him a few things about the Force that he did not know.
>She would have gone to Bespin where she would save Han and thaw him out of the carbonite by rubbing her hands on it real fast.
>she would confront Darth Vader, chop off his hand and tell him to tell the Emperor she is coming for him next.
>She then calls the Millenium Falcon telepathically using the force and by adding a piece of equipment she pesonally designed to fly the ship without her even touching it. She picks Han, Leia, Chewbacca, and Lando, who are all hanging out at the Bespin Starbucks bored.

Just because he valued his own personal gain over Luke's happiness doesn't mean he didn't like him, just that he was a shitty parent. At the very least he wanted to make it up to him.

Harry spends a third of the first book and a quarter of the fourth book hated by everyone in the school. Even in the fifth one people kind of think he's a lying fraud for the majority of the story.

Was literally helpless in the beginning, had to be rescued from the Matrix, lacked the skill/confidence to be the one, stepped up when his friend was in danger but then got his ass kicked, was saved by a kiss from a woman.

/harry potter

Did Harry Potter have all his powers and defeat the bad guy in movie #1?

/luke

Had to be trained, left early because of his own weakness, lost his hand to Vader, had to be rescued by Vader in the end, and now we learn that he lost his Jedi Academy.

The thing about Rey was that, yeah, she kind of was a Mary sue, but because of how her character building was treated early on, it felt nice.

She literally was at the fucking bottom in the universe, climbing out of old ships where a fall could be seemingly deadly to scavenge loose parts. And then when she has some scumfuck boss who literally hits her if she stops working, and some fuckbag merchant who swindles that shit from her.

So when she wrecked that beta cuck Kylo ren's shit.... felt good man.

Plus the few instances of good cinematography in the film were around her character.
>>
the advent of the Internet allowed the term "Mary Sue" to migrate out of the Star Trek community to most fandoms, losing pretty much any real meaning in the process. There are dozens upon dozens of essays that offer interpretations of what the term means, generally basing it off of some usages of it, but none of them are truly comprehensive or accepted. Using the term in most contexts isn't too far off from Flame Bait, generally provoking the defendant into rants. Much Internet Backdraft has resulted, especially if the term is applied to a canon character on a popular show.
