Do hollywood actors generally just not have drama degrees? This video is made by a complete moron as well, but it stikes me on many occasions the people actually performing in films don't have the kind of formal knowledge in social study that would make articulating their craft so much easier and more interesting.
Why is anyone even answering these mary sue "accusations" seriously? I put in quotes because really, it doesn't even matter, but the thing is, what Rey is is a shit character, but not a mary sue. She's in no way an indulgent character, she's an underdeveloped character which is in some ways the opposite of a mary sue, although none the more elevated. But we get these fucking mouth breathers weighing in about "mary sue" because it's the most accusatory sounding term they can find in a dictionary despite not having a clue what they're talking about. I'm personally offended that this kind of shitshow will even exist when on the other hand I have to hear that social science is worthless. If it's that trivial then shut up or at least don't fucking suck at it, jesus christ, this is why we create tools.
It's like watching lab coat wearing jocks piss on a petridish while claiming that chemistry is not a 'real' science. On the basis that real scientists do nothing but piss on petridishes.
