Harry Potter is just as much as a mary sue as Rey. Every character who isn't a villain loves him, everytime he's in danger he wins or escapes, and seems to always pull off the impossible without training. Last time I checked Harry Potter being a mary stu never became a meme. The only argument you can possibly make for him not being one is his rough upbringing... and what could you guess Rey was dumped off on some junky planet with no parents and a horrible lifestyle.

I'm not a hypocrite, I like Harry Potter. I also like TFA and TLJ. Rey isn't a perfectly written character but I can't believe how big of a deal people are suddenly making of this trope that's been in sci-fi and fantasy for a long time as if it's some new thing that's promoting SJW propaganda.

No. Rey was a good fighter both with a staff and a lightsaber, a good mechanic and seemed to know the MF better than Han himself (for f***'s sake), a good pilot, a good shot, a good droid interpreter, and a good force user better than Kylo (for f***'s sake again!).

 

All in the first film.

 

Harry was a good broom rider and quidditch player, sort of... He caught the snitch or rather, it landed in his mouth so it was more accidental than a deed of skill. Hermione was more book-smart.

Also, Snape hated him.

In the first half of the series whenever confronted with a threat there's always some convenience that gets him out of it and it isn't until the 4th movie where he fails at something.  It isn't until the very end of the series where he can solve stuff on his own without conveniences and generous writing.
