A Mary Sue for female characters and Gary Stu or Marty Stu for male characters is an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character, a young or low-rank person who saves the day through unrealistic abilities. Often this character is recognized as an author insert and/or wish-fulfillment.
Origin and development of the meaning
The term "Mary Sue" comes from the name of a character created by Paula Smith in 1973 for her parody story "A Trekkie's Tale" published in her fanzineMenagerie #2. The story starred Lieutenant Mary Sue ("the youngest Lieutenant in the fleet — only fifteen and a half years old"), and satirized unrealistic Star Trekfan fiction. Such characters were generally female adolescents who had romantic liaisons with established canonical adult characters, or in some cases were the younger relatives or protégées of those characters. By 1976 Menagerie's editors stated that they disliked such characters, saying:
"Mary Sue" today has changed from its original meaning and now carries a generalized, although not universal, connotation of wish-fulfillment and is commonly associated with self-insertion. True self-insertion is a literal and generally undisguised representation of the author; most characters described as "Mary Sues" are not, though they are often called "proxies" for the author. The negative connotation comes from this "wish-fulfillment" implication: the "Mary Sue" is judged as a poorly developed character, too perfect and lacking in realism to be interesting.
Not to worry, everybody! The best trope talk ever has arrived to save the day! And as soon as I one-up the protagonists and earn the undying respect and love of the entire extended cast, I'll be off to set up my OTP and subsequently die gloriously, to be mourned by all of my newfound friends!
DISCLAIMER: This trope talk defines Mary Sue according to how I, personally, think her trope works. You might have a different definition, and that's okay! But for the purposes of this video, "Mary Sue" is used to refer to how I think she should be defined.

Rey may be one of the less liked charcters in the Star Wars Universe. Even though she suffers from bad writing and no charcter development, there are also hights in her appearences and she overall has the potential to be a good and loved character. So she will hopefully get fixed in that way by the upcoming Star Wars Shows.

My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.
Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence.

Not to worry, everybody! The best trope talk ever has arrived to save the day! And as soon as I one-up the protagonists and earn the undying respect and love of the entire extended cast, I'll be off to set up my OTP and subsequently die gloriously, to be mourned by all of my newfound friends!
DISCLAIMER: This trope talk defines Mary Sue according to how I, personally, think her trope works. You might have a different definition, and that's okay! But for the purposes of this video, "Mary Sue" is used to refer to how I think she should be defined.
Play nice in the comments, please.

My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.
Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel – and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!
Rey may be one of the less liked charcters in the Star Wars Universe. Even though she suffers from bad writing and no charcter development, there are also hights in her appearences and she overall has the potential to be a good and loved character. So she will hopefully get fixed in that way by the upcoming Star Wars Shows.
This Video is notr meant to offend anyone, just enjoy her being comlpletey OP and broken for 6:38 minutes.

But why? Why did Mary Sues come into existence, why were they met with such hatred and vitriol, and why is there still so much drama surrounding them? Well, let's take a deep dive into the trope, it's history, and it's impact on the internet!

A Mary Sue for female characters and Gary Stu or Marty Stu for male characters is an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character, a young or low-rank person who saves the day through unrealistic abilities. Often this character is recognized as an author insert and/or wish-fulfillment.
Origin and development of the meaning
The term "Mary Sue" comes from the name of a character created by Paula Smith in 1973 for her parody story "A Trekkie's Tale" published in her fanzineMenagerie #2. The story starred Lieutenant Mary Sue ("the youngest Lieutenant in the fleet — only fifteen and a half years old"), and satirized unrealistic Star Trekfan fiction. Such characters were generally female adolescents who had romantic liaisons with established canonical adult characters, or in some cases were the younger relatives or protégées of those characters. By 1976 Menagerie's editors stated that they disliked such characters, saying:
"Mary Sue" today has changed from its original meaning and now carries a generalized, although not universal, connotation of wish-fulfillment and is commonly associated with self-insertion. True self-insertion is a literal and generally undisguised representation of the author; most characters described as "Mary Sues" are not, though they are often called "proxies" for the author. The negative connotation comes from this "wish-fulfillment" implication: the "Mary Sue" is judged as a poorly developed character, too perfect and lacking in realism to be interesting.
