| Topic | People rather read Mary Sue than the Loser |
| TigerTycoon 03/31/25 4:39:46 PM #2: | NeoSioType posted... People love Mary/Gary Stu for wish fulfillment and power fantasy.The issue with this is the Mary/Gary Stu is often so unrelatable that they don't fulfill anyone's fantasy because it's more like looking at an alien than a person. Not that Mary/Gary Stu can never work, but it's much harder to make it interesting, given, that applies to a lot of tropes with negative connotations. A story about a loser has to make the loser's life still be interesting to watch. The most recent extremely successful movie I can think of that had a loser main character off the top of my head is Joker (the first one obviously). --- YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT! ...
