Comments by "Ronin Dave" (@RoninDave) on "Why Modern Movies Suck - They Teach Us Awful Lessons" video.
Rey defenders have tried to say for years that "Luke is Gary Stu just like complain Rey!" And obviously they never watched the films or paid attention to them. The quintessential Mary Sue named after character in a parody of bad Star Trek fanfic can do no wrong and immediately impresses the other established characters. Luke got his ass handed to him repeatedly in New Hope from Tusken to bar brawlers to trash pit monster. Han called him a farmboy and dismisses his shooting down a Tie Fighter. Leia comments he's too short to be a storm trooper. Rey on the other hand impresses Han Solo within minutes of meeting her. Leia hugs her first time she see her. The established characters and the new characters constantly give her respect and talk about how good she is at astro-mechanics, flying, fighting, and using the Force. As for fighting, Rey takes almost no damage the entire trilogy. She beats Kylo every time she fights him and even beats Luke. And as for character arc, there is none. She learns nothing about herself except she was always good and just got better. The only she had was a weird attraction to emo bad boy which led to twisted Reylo Fans.
