A Mary Sue, according to TV Tropes, is a perfect character with absolutely no character flaws. She or he is the perfect embodiment of goodness, who is a friend to everyone and is usually the character that is the main love interest. Also, the term Mary Sue is named after a Spider-Man character with the same name, who was boring to most viewers. Not only is making a character too perfect unrealistic and annoying, but it is one of the oldest cliches in the book. No one wants to read a story or watch a show where one of the main characters is a flat goody goody with no extra quirk to make them stand out to the audience. Basically, think of Bella Swan, but without her flaws of being a klutz and kind of naive being completely gone. Sounds pretty bad, right?
