Rey is Harry Potter or Neo of Star Wars. Not so catchy now, huh? Those characters are Gary Stus.

Or more common as a fictional archetype the chosen one, golden child, etc. It's not even a rare character in fantasy tropes.

Is only a problem when is a woman, but that's not sexism is just, you know.... yeah maybe is just sexism.

In this case people saying sexism probably have a case. There is definitely some of that going on. Such a character never gets criticized if it's a guy. I recall zero complaints about Neo "Compu-Messiah" in the Matrix or Harry Potter: Isn't He Wonderful/Special/Smart/Perfect/Should Be Fucking Heromonie But He's So Good He Lets His Mate Have Her. I do think the sequels should give Rey more time though, there's too many characters and they are focusing on too many things around her.
