He's stubborn. Self-righteous. He can be naive. Too trustworthy. He looks before he jumps. He is a thrill seeker/adrenaline junky.

Not OP

Too trustworthy and naive can be attributed to the frozen for decades or being from another era thing. "Stubborn" is a classic Mary Sue trait, and so is self-righteousness... unfortunately due to Plot Armor Cap usually turns out to be right in the end so all is well. Aside from Civil War but really that whole thing was a mess all over

Stubborn is actually a fine trait when done correctly. It's a 'Mary Sue trait' when the character is stubborn but always turns out to be right anyway. Just like any other trait that's called a flaw but doesn't actually negatively impact the character except for making them wrongfully persecuted for their rightness.

Yeah if you read the rest of the sentence I wrote stubborn in, I p much wrote exactly that

Ah.

Well I have to disagree that a trait should be considered a "Mary Sue Trait" for being misused, but YMMV.

I meant more like that it's one of those traits common in many classic Mary Sues, it was awkwardly phrased sorry

Ahh okay.

I apologize if I seemed like I was jumping down your throat. I should have read the comment better.

I confess I might have impulsively acted due to my experience with the "that's a sue trait , never use it" people I've met in fandom circles (and writing circles sadly). I apologize.

It happens to the best of us.

How does being a product of his era negate those traits?? Their origin doesn't affect the fact they exist.

And well...what superhero doesn't have plot armor? That is a stupid argument. That means none of Batman's traits matter because he'll always be fine in the end?

(Anonymous) 2015-06-24 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't negate them but it excuses them a lot

Like how everyone who defends Superman will pull up the he's a lonely alien thing, because it is a valid excuse

I'm not arguing against plot armor the trope, I'm arguing that you can't list self-righteousness as a character flaw when comics Cap has been the writer mouthpiece of The Good Guys and the Side of Good since forever and turns out to be right all the time

That's not a flaw.

It can be if it gets him killed.
