Is Rey from Star Wars a Mary Sue?

I don't really think so but if we have to consider that she is Mary Sue then we have to consider that mainstream cinema is plenty of Marty Stus, but nobody ever complain nearly as much about those cause you know, they were men.

If you want to talk about Marty Sues, I do find James Bond a not so good character because of that.

In order to make that comparison you would have to accept that James Bond would be just some random guy who fixes computers or something and suddenly he just becomes an international operative who solves everything without breaking a sweat. You know, instead of having been fully trained by the british special forces and having years upon years of field experience. (He's been at it since like the sixties for fuck's sake ;))

That's actually a pretty good way to demonstrate the problem with Rey. It should be blatantly obvious.
