[shrug] These are supposed to be books about heroes. I really don't need to see a new character entering while deprecating herself and tripping all over her own feet, personally. (Especially considering how drenched in sexism the commonality of the "Mary Sue" accusation is, anyway.)
Hopefully she'll get some more nuance as the story progresses. I mean, it's only been two issues and it's an ensemble cast, right?
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.

[is really sick of how freely people throw around "Mary Sue" when encountering female protagonists]
