Gold Vanguard Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Looking at there supports, importance in the story, and personality do you think Robin is one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Lightning Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I think they have certain traits that are Sueish (which is kinda expected when you have what is meant to be a pseudo self insert), but ultimately since the plot doesn't necessarily bend to their will and not all characters get down on their knees to worship them, I don't think they are. It is possible to seem like a Mary Sue/Gary Stu without actually being a legit one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 ^ thats basically what happened in part 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interceptor Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Are you kidding me? Avatar is like a toned-down version of Lelouche. "Great strategy, Avatar! This is a flawless plan!" Later... "Ho-holy hell... how did that not work? Is there a raincloud following you around, or something?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Player character. Kinda standard to allow as much customization as possible/neutral(few specific flaws) personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulina Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Well, they need to be generic enough for the everygamer to put himself in their shoes, so I don't think a lack of defined character traits makes them Sue-ish. In terms of their relationships, I'm only at Chapter 17, so I can't vouch for the whole game. Characters haven't been fawning over my MU yet, though. It's more like "Wow, that was a really clever strategy! Okay back to important stuff. *turn to Chrom*" Cordelia on the other hand...

algae Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yeah, kinda Sort of unavoidable, given the format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenEyry Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Not at all. They aren't good at anything and at least one of their plans is aout manauvered by Gangrel. Sure they can have any class and support anyone, but they're the player character, it's to be expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadykid Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 no, people need to stop overusing the term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 no, people need to stop overusing the term This to the power of infinity. It's like every FE character of any importance at all gets the term Mary Sue thrown at them. ;/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Vanguard Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 This to the power of infinity.

Saint of Games Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 This to the power of infinity. It's like every FE character of any importance at all gets the term Mary Sue thrown at them. ;/ That is actually Dime-a-dozen in the internet. Seriously... Mary Sue these days means more "character you do not like" than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackos Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 no, people need to stop overusing the term Pretty much, at this point "Mary Sue/Gary Stu" have become so overused they're nothing but a buzzword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 But I didn't say Chrom is one and he's the main lord. Dude, I wasn't referring to you in particular. There are other's who've made "Is X a Mary Sue" as well, some of whom are more prevalent than others. Either way, it's kind of annoying.

Jedi Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 -Sigh- Another one of these mary sue threads. We may as well call they entire series full of nothing but mary sues at the end of this You are using a term you have absolutely no clue what it actually means. Just using it to get negative feedback on a character you may dislike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I don't even know what the term "Mary Sue" means anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 waht From what I've seen, Micaiah's actually gotten the worst of it. MU is a Mary Sue! People reaction: WTF not true! Micaiah is a Mary Sue! People reaction: BURN THE WITCH! Heh And they are basically having the same problem comes part 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really say I see Robin as one, though my friend was saying something like that... but again, my friend doesn't play FE so she wouldn't know any better.
