Talk:Mary Sue/@comment-24.224.45.32-20191205035328

Mary is basically a backhanded subversion of the standard Mary Sue. She's given the standard Sue setup, pretty, rediculously powerful, and all sweetness and light.... until someone mentions Tanya and she turns into an overpowered homicidal rage fueled atrocity machine. The subversion comes from she's in a world with actual consequences, even though she thinks everything's just peachy. The whole time she thinks she's winning the war singlehandedly, she's making enemies of her superiors and fellow soldiers. Frankly it'd be interesting to see how she gets it in the LN, manga, and anime because sooner or later she's going to get assassinated or fragged.

She's kind of tragic because the whole time she thinks she's the hero, but she's really an irrational monster.
