Looks like this essay was needed, so I went ahead and did it. Not sure I said everything I wanted to say, but I tried.
So, there’s this girl. She’s tragically orphaned and richer than anyone on the planet. Every guy she meets falls in love with her, but in…
Harry Potter is an awful Mary Sue. He’s written well, but he has all the traits.
i think and hope u are trolling me
I was in no way trying to troll anyone. I love the Harry Potter series with all my heart. He’s got all the traits of a classic Mary Sue. That doesn’t make him a bad character.
so you didn’t read my essay or
i mean idg how this is relevant i’m genuinely interested it has nothing to do with anything. this is an essay about female characters! like yeah i agree Harry prolly counts as a power fantasy? and most characters fit the criteria for Mary Sue? That was my point? so i just…why Harry in particular?
Because he was the first one I could think of that wasn’t Batman or Spiderman, who were already mentioned. I apologize for any misunderstanding that this caused, I was bringing up another character who is male, well written, but has traits of a “Mary Sue”. I didn’t realize that it would offend anyone.
ah, okay, I get it. It just wasn’t very clear, so thanks for clarifying. You don’t need to apologize.
