MTV
Daisy Ridley speaks to MTV about Rey's 'Star Wars' Mary Sue label and why Ridley quit social media.
Dinner with the Parents Review: It's a family comedy series following the Langers, who often turn their family dinners into a disruptively chaotic affair.
Baby Reindeer Review: Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning present a strange relationship of a stalker and her victim.
Amar Singh Chamkila Review: This is a surprisingly memorable watch that is equal parts sweet and raunchy in the best of ways.
wow! What an explanation!
What a joke. Typical Mary Sue behavior to deny her Mary sueness
She was the worst part of the sterile movie.
Whoa, whoa, whoa...when did "Mary Sue name-callers" become an actual thing? Bringing up a lazy character arc (by the writers) shouldn't be personified in such a way as it is here. Granted, there's idiots on the internet who wouldn't be afraid to use this a crutch to hate on people who really liked Rey; however, you can't really conflate valid criticism with that nasty behavior. What about the likes of screenwriter Max Landis who got shit just for arguing that she was a Mary Sue? See? Go after the argument being made here, not the randoms making gross internet responses.
Not all of us pointing out Abrams' inconsistent writing are making personal attacks here. And I'll just add that Daisy Ridley's performance went a LONG in making her "Mary Sue-ness" very digestible to begin with.
If she's speaking to MTV then I don't want to hear it. TFA was creatively bankrupt, that was it's biggest issue. As bad as the prequels were, at least Lucas took chances.
