How can a character be a Sue if they're complex? Having more than one layer/dimension to one's characterization would automatically mean one is not a true Sue, right?

[philstar22]

No? It depends on your definition of sue. There are a lot of different ones.

[(Anonymous)]

'Mary Sue' is the new 'drabble'. They both used to mean something, and now they don't.

[philstar22]

True. But the original definition of Mary Sue was never just flat characterization.

[(Anonymous)]

True story: my mom has a fan zine story with what is (I think) the original Ensign Mary Sue on the Enterprise. Spoiler: She dies at the end, and everyone is sad. It's been a while since I read it, but even back then, Ensign Mary Sue was written as a tongue-in-cheek joke about self-inserts, and not as an 'actual' Mary Sue.

[(Anonymous)]

THIS.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe they mean she's a less transparent author insert?

[(Anonymous)]

Not necessarily. Claire could arguably qualify as a Sue because she's portrayed as some sort of time traveling superwoman in terms of her medical skills. No penicillin? She'll make some out of moldy bread! No needles? She'll fashion them out of porcupine quills! Life threatening injury? She'll totally fix everything with her amazing knowledge of modern technology that she'll be able to duplicate in pioneer times, somehow!

On top of that, she's super hot and lots of people want to bone her.

[litalex]

Yeah, even the gay guy boned her. Though same could be said of Jaime, though -- all the girls and even two of the guys.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yes, I think Jamie is kind of a Gary Stu, tbh. But Claire is a bit more conspicuously so, probably because it feels like an author self insert.
