Tulipanzo said: Didn't she almost crash the Falcon when she got it? |
Almost. That's the key word here. She almost did only to win against what should have been more agile and capable spacecraft seeing as how they're smaller.

Tulipanzo said: Plus, I'd say that being in denial about your parents origins because you passively accepted the main antagonists' mentality that your origin matter more than who you are is a pretty big character flaw. |
I don't see how such a denial is gonna impede her ability to get things done or win in fights.

Tulipanzo said: Also Luke Skywalker actively disliked her coming at all, Han slowly grows to accept her, only Leia actively trusts her. |
Did either of the three dislike her though?
| Tulipanzo said: She is no more competent than Luke was |
Okay, no. That's nonsense.
Here's the end result of the first time Luke faced Darth Vader:
Luke was left hanging from an antenna, was missing a hand, and was in dire need of rescue.
Here's the end result of the first time Rey faced Kylo Ren:
She won.
So no, the two aren't comparable.
| Tulipanzo said: and as the de facto protagonist of the new trilogy it fits that she would be generally competent. |
Rey was overly competent.
| Tulipanzo said: As far as criticism goes, not only is "being a Mary Sue" a very shallow and perfunctory criticism, it aligns with some world class charlatans and mouth breathers in the manosphere. I'd avoid it if I were you, because of the stupidity by association |
I'm going to keep using it because it's short and to the point. If you don't like the adjective then how about this:
Rey is a Mary Sue overly competent to the point that credibility in her character and tension in the film are both destroyed.
