characters whose flaws are written in a true to life universally relatable manner versus female characters who are sprinkled with flaws in an unrealistic formulaic or superficial way a rom-com heroine is made clumsy because it's a flaw that's supposed to endear her not because it actually represents a deep obstacle to her growth or driver of her story skyler's stereotypically female sins like the affair occasionally smoking while pregnant and pestering her husband about money also fit a larger pattern in the kinds of flaws that female characters typically are given namely being either a nag or a cheater these flaws aren't even really about the woman herself or her internal world but only ways in which she wrongs a man well the mastercard's the one we don't use a great modern non-mary sue who corrects these problems is ozarks wendy whose flaws like her thwarted career ambitions and desire for more power are all about her push the story along create jeopardy for her family and result in internal struggles about her priorities adam and eve probably grabbed that apple because they were starving and it was the first tree they saw it's important to remember that one of the main original issues with the mary sue is that she's merely shallow tokenistic representation for women presenting a female character as impossibly annoyingly perfect often feels easier or safer than making her real so the most crucial step in writing real female characters is allowing actual women to write direct film and review them instead of fighting over whether or not a character qualifies as a mary sue putting your efforts into recognizing and creating more non-mary sues can solve this problem for good women they have minds and they have souls this is the take on your favorite movie shows and culture subscribe so you can watch all of our videos
