    How the heck is Katniss a Mary Sue?

    If you have to cut off over half of an opinion-/statement-thing and question regarding emphasis so you can tell someone else that they're wrong no matter what as you are starting to continually do, I don't think you exactly have an argument for your opinions anymore. But hell, you think "the...

    How the heck is Katniss a Mary Sue?

    And originally the Emperor was never going to appear in the original trilogy outside of the monkey mask hologram. Originally Superman couldn't fly. Originally slave meant specifically a Slav. It does not matter what the original meaning, words, phrases, and terms evolve as time goes on, it...

    How the heck is Katniss a Mary Sue?

    Since when? I've yet to see you bring up an example of anything yourself. Only seen you bash the examples others bring up. You didn't have to say it, you continuing to act like writing female characters is in its infancy is all that needs to be there to draw conclusions for. We have so...

    How the heck is Katniss a Mary Sue?

    Never said that, I said that if you're going to build a wall, do it the service of the hero having to scale it. Everyone only remembers that Goliath was a giant and David was young and small, but the thing they're forgetting is that Goliath had feats to his name and had shown how terrifying...

    How the heck is Katniss a Mary Sue?

    A) You have to take into account the comparison "Too accurate for Sand People". Ya know, the weird guys in sand robes that would rather beat you over the head with a rifle than shoot you with it. And again, you ignore the actual important part of the paragraph so you can have your gotcha moment...

    How the heck is Katniss a Mary Sue?

    When was it ever said that Stormtroopers were highly trained? As well as this is something that can be waved with the simple explanation of "He's a part of the hero party", certain things you have to accept. Because otherwise you've got Han literally chasing down a half-dozen troopers and not...

    How the heck is Katniss a Mary Sue?

    True, but to be fair, it's all the same type of people, just wanna bash someone with a cudgel, no matter how crude or unwieldy. Also it's not exactly Sue-ish. The rules were laid out long before it came about, they never said anything about having to kill someone to get the wand, just that...

    How the heck is Katniss a Mary Sue?

    Book 3 I think is the weak point of the first third, originally he was only going to get 3 books published and so went with it, 4th you start interacting with the Irish Arabs and that's about where it starts actually opening up. But if you aren't interested in any of it by book 3, chances are...

    How the heck is Katniss a Mary Sue?

    Except you also have to remember that women have been written as primary, secondary, and tertiary protagonists by men very well. The Eddings' stuff, WoT, SoT, pretty much anything written by Steve Vance has good female characters, etc(and most of this was over 20 years ago and big enough most...

    How the heck is Katniss a Mary Sue?

    And yet she comes out of everything basically without being harmed. There are kids that were born and trained to survive and thrive in so many environments with a variety of weapons in that bunch, but the girl that has basic woodsman skills is the one that survives it all. She doesn't ever...

    How the heck is Katniss a Mary Sue?

    Of course there's nothing wrong with it, there's alot of Isekai manga that is fun that is full of Sue/Stu's, but it's not called the pinnacle of character writing either. Overlord still has the protagonist's knowledge of the rules of the game and laws of the universe conflicting with one another...

    How the heck is Katniss a Mary Sue?

    She's like on the cusp of Sue-ness, which really makes it difficult from differentiating her being a shitty character and a shitty worthless character. She's basically two baths and a hairbrush away from being considered gorgeous despite her going "I'm not pretty at all, teeheehee", has two...

    God of War Review Thread

    What makes you think I said anything about "everyone"? I'm pretty sure I specifically said "DETRACTORS". Like c'mon, there's still people that say that 30fps is superior to 60 and that consoles are still objectively better than PC. And sure, there were some places that had problems, never...

    God of War Review Thread

    Hey look, we've moved on from dismissing complaints and grievances to just straight up going to rule 11 of the internet. I think the camera and the focus on telling a "serious" story is nothing but a detriment to the game and franchise simply because of just basic cognitive dissonance and the...

    God of War Review Thread

    The game is alright, I'd recommend it when it gets to the 50% off bin, but there's just so much shit in it. Runes, equipment, damn collectibles that have no reason to be there other than the industry's somewhat recent infatuation with them that are just shoved in, many parts of the combat and...
