Top 10 Most Annoying Mary Sues and Gary Stus

There is no other reason than her being a Mary Sue why everyone was trying so hard to get to know the new girl. She was such a moping bore! Hell, but they weren't enough for a friendless nobody, she wanted the shiny sparkly vampires. Which in no way makes her superficial we are repeatedly informed. Of course it later turns out that all those girls are secretly horrid and their helpfulness was just a facade-like how Bella is just a facade for self-insertion.

I hate Twilight. Bella Swan is uninteresting and dull, and spreads a bad message to young girls. She, Edward and Jacob are all physically and emotionally ugly and are a gross eyesore for me to even look at.

Kids should be reading books like Harry Potter with strong females like Hermione Granger.

It says a lot that the most interesting thing to happen to vampires (the selling point) is bland teenage girl with no aspirations in life. Either vampires are just that boring or your character is unnecessarily the center of the universe with no explanation as to why and I think we all know what the answer is.

Nothing says "Mary Sue" like a heterosexual teenage girl looking for love, being completely indifferent to twelve shirtless, big-abbed boys her age, sitting at her door in the middle of the night, all wanting to be her boyfriend. Yep, just a typical, run-of-the-mill day in the life of Bella Swan.

Rey is totally the most Mary Sue of all the Mary Sues. She instantly gets to know how to repair anything, fly anything, be liked by everyone (even the bad guy has the hots for her), and instantly learns how to do everything having to do with the Force in an instant. She has no training, yet beats a a Sith Lord who's trained his whole life in a lightsaber duel, instantly learns a Jedi Mind Trick that took Luke 3 movies to learn, gets a hug when Solo dies instead of Chewbacca because, for plot reasons, Rey's feelings for a man she knew for less than a day are more important and developed than a being who had been with him for years, raises tons of boulders with the force (all of her Force tricks are done with no training whatsoever, even Anakin the frickening Choosen One had to be taught how to use the force and use a lightsaber). The only reasons for all of her skills is 'she's the best ever! '.

Ray can fly better than Han Solo with his own the first time piloting, can over power Ren who is an experienced lightsaber wielder, can immediately speak Wookiee, gets all the boys, is incorruptible, redeems Luke skywalker (more or less), create force lightning with no training, use mental manipulation without even trying, overpower Ren again with her mental force powers, frees herself from starkiller base... the list goes on and on.

No training to fly a ship that doesn't handle like your average everyday ship, Lightsabre combat is impeccable despite ZERO training, learns how to mind trick after trying twice on a stormtrooper (It took a movie gap for Luke to learn how to do it), not only resists Kylo's mind trick but instead, makes it backfire on him, beats Kylo despite ZERO training (mentioned above), redirects and absorbs Palp's Force Lightning like Yoda and Dooku (Yoda has reached that degree of power through years of experience), It's not Mary sue, it's MaR(e)y Sue.

First she humiliated Han and Chewie, then she humiliated Kylo Ren before humiliating Luke. But she didn't stop there! She humiliated Palpatine too and the Star Wars Franchise as a whole! Really hope the sequels get rebooted with a better version of Rey and Finn.

Blandish personality and is the greatest telepath...even though there are Omega-level telepaths who have been finessing their abilities for decades before she was born (ie, Xavier). Plus, everybody just loves her so. much.

Jean is not only telepathic and telekinetic, she also has everyone immediately fall for her. She has more than three men after her ass and is extremely smart and desirable.

They made a movie about her it sucked its called the dark Phoenix

She is a Plot device

All she needs to say is for him to not touch it and bam he can't. Very mary sue like.

I want to murder Dora so badly!

I'm done with Dora.

Comics might be better but, Cap Marvel movie literally did not grab any attention of any viewer. Told to suppress emotion by her teacher (Jude Law) and right at the end, Law is the emotional one when Danvers is meant to embrace emotion and instead, nonchalantly blasts him in the chest making the whole excuse of an "arc" completely moot. Goes from powerful despite her hands being handcuffed to, so powerful it becomes completely and utterly boring. Her emotional state, and her "arc" is a literal plank.

There are endless videos and texts analysing why captain marvel fails to achieve what it set out to do, so I'll get straight to the point. Captain Marvel exists purely as a symbol of feminist empowerment, but she's portrayed so badly that she comes off as just being a self absorbed, god like being that is impossible for anyone to relate to. I hope they improve on her nonexistent personality movies to come so that she is at least tolerable.

As much as I love Carrol, she is considered the most powerful hero even though she was only one movie (Endgame Doesn't count since she was only in it for ten minutes). She isn't flawless though. If she was the most powerful MCU hero, she would've just put on the Infinity Gauntlet and snapped out Thanos' armies when she had the Gauntlet.

All her movie is she is powerful she can't remember stuff and all her memories are her being told that she's dumb by men. Also she's able to beat anyone in the movie because plot

I hate to say it, but she is a bigger Mary-Sue than Bella Swan.

- Perfect body that's so "perfect" that it is anatomically incorrect and could not exist in real life, even if you underwent cosmetic surgery.
- Long, perfect blonde hair.
- Sparkly, overly-detailed and expensive, fancy outfits.
- Has the "perfect" boyfriend
- Looks good in ANY clothes
- Super rich!
- Everyone likes her! Has loads of friends! Anyone who hates her is evil!

The first annoying thing about this character is their luck. Barbie so far can open a popular boutique with the push of a button, has modeling talents, manages to have a perfect body while her meals scream unhealthy, every existing guy in "Malibu" has a crush on her, and just to make this idiot more likeable, they make her frenemy Raquel (the only relatable character in this show) have the worst life possible. UGHHH.

Barbie's Mary Sue trait is what actually makes her lovable. She was INTENDED to be one so that it would be comically amusing. This especially applies well to "Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse," Barbie being so perfect that it was unrealistic made up for the hilarity of the show.

HECK YES! Barbie is the true definition of a Mary sue. Barbie always steals the spot light from others, She is perfect and has no flaws or issues, She is the so called prettiest girl, She wins and gets everything she wants. This spoiled little brat pisses me off and should be at the top

Ahh, yes. The greatest mary sue of all time. Can sing dance, do art, anything that a human can a human do, but on a more advanced way. He can also lure almost anyone who sees him. Definitely needs to be no. 1.

Perfect in every way.

Why isn't he Number 1?

my friends and I use to sing the opposite of the song I love you by saying I hate you you hate me, we are not a family, we will punch and kick... so on and so fourth

Personally when Divergent started out, I liked it. But after a while, Tris and Four's character seemed Mary Sue/Gary Stu-ish to me. Tris is an all goody-goody character who always swayed everyone else around her, exception to Peter, but that's only because Peter is a bad guy. Meanwhile Four was a stereotypical hot edgy. Neither of them have realistic flaws. And no, being afraid of heights isn't considered a flaw. Heck, when both of them went to the future in Insurgent, everybody there practically worshipped them.

Because of this, I found the rest of the books/movies to be very bland.

I couldn't even FINISH the first book becuase I felt like she's a more watered-down version of Katniss Everdeen. It's only because she's "Divergent" that she's different and dangerous, or whatever. Katniss, at least, protected her sister and helped to spark a revolution... I feel like Tris is just overrated. her faction even reminds me of the Hunger Games!
I feel like I would've liked her better if she'd kept her name Beatrice. B/c it shows that she can both be "sweet" (even though she kind of isn't) and dangerous.
Plus, like... Her faction in the first book took bravery and twisted it so freaking much. Al (from the first book) was sweet and literally the bravest of them all because he stood up for what was right...
I couldn't even sleep because I was so frustrated with "Tris-y The Prissy."
I'll shut up now. Goodbye.

Oh. My. Gosh. This girl was like an off-brand Katniss Everdeen. Not that I think Katniss is a bad character, but Tris just seems like the author copied and pasted her into the story. She magically gets the super hot, brooding man who is older than her, because she's the main character, and if I remember correctly she didn't have any flaws as a character. Terrible writing. She just seems like something that you would see in a self insert Wattpad story.

Tris was absolutely aggravating and I wanted to punch her for being such a pathetic whiny loser who was clearly a self-insert in every way. She was so "perfect" despite being "unattractive" and fit the stereotypical straight white girl who gets the handsome, edgy, mysterious straight white man who in reality would probably never look at her twice. Or once even. Definitely an Author Avatar of the highest degree.

Good at everything including things she's never done before, never gets called out when she does something wrong, gets praised for things that other characters get hate for, is loved by everyone on the show to an unrealistic degree and has no flaws whatsoever.

This character is a perfect example of why you should never pander to a vocal minority on tumblr.

Season 4, enough said

PBS should feel bad for still making this show, and showing kids how to act like complete retards.

Annoying brat. Nothing good about him, nothing bad happens to him, whiny. Get out of here.

Caillou is more annoying than Dora!

Only flaw is cancer

Alright, I partially agree with this statement. I don't think she's ENTIRELY a Mary Sue, but there are some elements of her that certainly are. Now, she is definitely NOT creator's pet. Uncle Rick has shown no favoritism towards her whatsoever. Now don't forget, I strongly dislike Piper. Now, I won't say I hate her, because she has ONE redeeming quality. Her insecurity. Now many people say that's a cover-up for her being a Mary Sue, and yeah, I can see why they think that. But it's really the only thing slightly human about her. So the only reason she's not a Mary Sue is because of her insecurity, and one other thing. Do you guys REALLY think Uncle Rick could create a full Mary Sue? You guys are all here because you liked the books enough to hate a character. But yeah, I find her extremely shallow and a bit brattish. We're supposed to feel sympathy because her "father never pays attention to her. And because of that, she decided to steal a car. A bit over the top. But her father DID ...more

What is the definition of a Mary Sue? No flaws, lots of friends, super pretty, tragic or perfect past, way overpowered. Piper checks off like...two of those. I wouldn't say her backstory is perfect or tragic, or that she has no flaws. She actually has to work and use her skills to succeed instead of everything just falling into place perfectly for her. She feels useless a lot, and sometimes she can't do it all herself. I think Piper is a good character. Even if she is a Mary Sue, I still love her.

Yeah, she's totally a Mary Sue. She complains about her dad not paying attention to her when many demigods don't even HAVE dads. And she's so OP. She learned sword fighting in a week, she can talk her way out of anything, and she's way too pretty. And don't even get me STARTED on her relationship with Jason. She didn't even know him, but she stole him from Reyna who is one of the best characters in the series so she wouldn't feel lonely. I hate her and I wish she died instead of Jason, Jason I hate less.

Before I knew what a Mary sue was, I had a bad feeling about Piper. She just seemed super whiny and a total diva. Yeah, I get she might feel neglected by her dad, but literally ALMOST EVERYONE ELSE LOVES HER. Everyone things she's pretty (Even though she doesn't like it), she got super good at swordsmanship for some reason, she has rainbow eyes, and she gets the sweet heroic boyfriend that she doesn't deserve. People defend her by saying "Rick is too good of an author to write a Mary sue" but that's not true. He is a good author, but that doesn't mean he is the best one. Writers better than him have written Mary Sue's...

Kind of whiny and emo but everything goes his way. Kind of a Gary Sue, not completely, but yeah. He gets to kick the butt of others just because. He does have some challenges and hardships, but dude is effectively a stalker and would have had the cops called on him multiple times if plot didn't demand that the power of teen boners prevent such outcomes.

He and Jacob are both so ugly and hideous. They look like bald Rhesus monkeys with Peter Griffin butt chins.

Cullen stalks girls and watches them sleep. His name sounds stupid. He abuses Bella, the ugliest little Mary-Sue to grace the world of literature.

AWFUL. Go read HP instead.

Sneaks into a teenage girls bedroom and proceeds to watch her sleep, then never gets called out on being a pedophile. Sounds like a Gary Stu to me.

He's an abusive creep. He stalks Bella all the time and she doesn't bother to report him to the police because she's an idiot as well.

Dude the fact that he is 18 of all gary/mary sues of all time just kills me with laughter. Actually I don't think he is perfect. Not at all actually he is a strong leader but he makes plenty of mistakes. His voice was annoying, though, for like 7 seasons straight before they fixed it so yeah but his character is fantastic. Even before season 8 his character was pretty ok. definitely not an unbearable sue despite what everyone else is saying.

Biggest Gary Stu ever.
1. He was the "super cool" villain's son.
2. He became the green ninja despite having NO training whatsoever!
3. Suddenly every mission depended on him alone.
4. He got the multi-headed dragon for himself even though it was once four other dragons who belonged to the other ninjas.
I hate him so much. This butt needs to die, he's so unlikable.

No offense to him but...

OMG YOU ARE RIGHT! She literally has NO flaws, even Hermione has a flaw, but Ginny just waltzes in and drugs Harry with a love potion(probably, since he just SUDDENLY loves her), like Harry could be paired with literally any other female character in the story(and male, Drarry always made sense), like WHAT?!?!?!

She's probably one of the most annoying characters in the series. I seriously can't stand her. She gets away with everything, like hexing a student and she even gets praised for it. Oh and she's not some kind of "badass", she's just rude (and insecure esp to Fleur).

She's a Jerkass Sue. She never gets called out for being a bully and everyone is just so charmed that teachers invite her to parties for hexing a student in front of them. Her being funny, strong and sportive are all informed attributes.

I totally agree! Please don't get mad at me for my opinion, but she is totally mary-sue material! Not talking about her falling in love with Harry, but there's plenty of other reasons that back up my statement!

* Tragic backstory? Check
* Perfect at everything? Check
* Zero flaws/only flaw being how much she cares about the main character? Check
* Is loved by basically everyone except her enemies? Check

All in all, perfect example of a mary sue.

Oooh, if she's not the biggest example of a massively pandering creator's pet, with a lot the specific mary sue traits (yes, dark past included) that ruined Attack on Titan for me, I don't know what is.

I don't even need to watch Peppa Pig to know she's a Mary Sue. Just one look at her and I know...

I hate Peppa, she's so whiny and selfish.

She is the admitted author's self-insert and it really shows. As the authors mouth-piece she is always right and even if she is wrong she does not get scolded. She even gets prettified. Everyone goes on about her intelligence. Now, maybe the author thinks that being booksmart is incredibly impressive, but actual geniuses get less hype that she does in the books which really shows the authors bias. She is also often a complete jerk and while the author was good at calling her out in the first book, this gets completely reversed later. She acts like a complete jerk and the author always writes her as being in the right.

How can Hermione not be on this list?
I hate what they did in the movies, gave many of Ron and Harry's best moments and lines to her because she was the (admitted) writer's favorite. She is very flawed in the books but I loved her. In the movie they made her an annoying Mary Sue.

In the movies she takes all the spotlight and is basically a insert of the author. She was so mean to fleur just because she was feminine and pretty like that the heck?!

Oh yeah. Always right, always the voice of reason, always the smartest, and she's loved by everyone despite being a rude snob all the time.

The biggest sue ! Will sleep with Christian because she loves him after just meeting him and finding out he's abusive... FML seriously ! No depth at all and suddenly everyone wants her... really bad character writing... I can't believe it's actually a film

Almost an exact duplicate of Bella, and the few qualities Anastasia possess that she does not share with Bella are worse.

They tried with Katara and they failed. They tried to write an empathetic young teen who is headstrong and idealistic. It fell flat. She gets praised by the story, like she is the only character who does good things and it is feels very forced. In fact her niceness and empathy only stand out because the writers made her stand out not because nobody else does the same things only she gets praised for. She also randomly got power ups and more talented characters got dumbed down and weakened so she could be cool and kickass. Very bad writing.

She literally mastered Waterbending in no time at all and was so good that she became Aang's teacher. She has healing abilities which not all Waterbenders have and she's amazing at that as well. She learns Bloodbending in an instant even though Hama who created it took years to perfect it. Defeated Azula, who, even though she was losing her mind at the time was a very powerful bender, Katara should have been no match for her. Plus she's beautiful and boys instantly fall in love with her when they see her.

I am infuriated that she became Aang's water bender teacher. HE WAS BETTER THEN HER! Then she threw a tantrum and almost got them all killed making him feel bad for being more talented than her that he lost all interest in water bending and goofed off when they were at the North Pole. Suddenly she masters water bending in like one month- a feat that is literally unprecedented. Aang, Azula and Toph are all geniuses, but they didn't master their element in one MONTH.

Ok, I am so torn right now. I really like Katara, but she annoys me so much. She did work hard to get where she got, to some extent. It did seem odd how quickly she got good at waterbending. I believe that's one of the only reasons someone might consider her a Mary sue.

Pretty does not mean she is not an absolute crap character. She has no personality except for being an openly annoying character. I only feel like the pokemon seasons are only getting worse. I loved the first season, but if you love the other seasons, this is just my silly personal opinion, so take this with a grain of salt.

Yes, she is half Mary Sue and half great character with character development, which makes her a mediocre characters. Also, people who say characters such as Amy Rose, Rouge the bat, Shadow the hedgehog and Iris are Mary Sues are wrong! Amy can be bossy and stubborn. Rouge can be greedy and cocky. Shadow can be aggressive and has a big ego, like sonic. And Iris is a jerk but also a misty clone and she is trying to be likes my third favorite ash companion even though this leads her to sucking! Serena is mediocre though. I don't like her as much. Rant over :3
-Super Sonic Fan Person

Serena is the worst. She wins so many performances, but practices very little. She gets Eevee to evolve into Sylveon when she barley ever trains it. Also, the chances of meeting someone from a different region that you met when you were younger is very small. However, she still reunited with Ash.

Her plot arc is often too perfect... She gets through performances far too smoothly. However, slightly border-line. She is too simplistic a character, though, so I'll say yes because when she has a plot-line she gets through it way too easily.

OMG this character is so bad! She wants to prove to everyone that she is better than Batman in everything despite being Batwoman by stealing everything from Bruce. And whenever she makes a bad action (which happens a lot!), she is magically forgiven or proved right! Really hope this show burns in hell.

The new show choose the worst Batwoman from all of the comics. She had to take everything from Batman to be Batwoman. She has an awful attitude and personality yet is supposed to the 'best heroine'.

Worst adaptation of a hero just to smite, The Batman.

Gender swapped batman, except more perfect.

She's literally not a Mary Sue. She's naive, headstrong, inexperienced in love, and because of her, Prince Hans almost wins. She's also stubborn, strong willed, kind and never gives up. She's not a Mary Sue, people.

I disagree with everyone else. She is such a Sue!

Although he is an amazing character, he was extremely powerful, tragic backstory, defeated the largest villain ever, smart, attracted girls, and everyone looked up to him as a hero... He is pretty gary-stuish, sorry fangirls...

Everyone loves him. He always gets his way. He always wins. If that's not being a Gary Stu, I don't know what is.

Yes finally! The biggest Mary Sue of all time right here. Y'All are saying Ginny is a Mary Sue? Look at harry.
