If you're unfamiliar with the term: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_SueI've been watching Ricky Gervais' Derek lately. It is an okay series, but the title character is such a Mary Sue it is ridiculous. While studying to writing I was always told show don't tell, but this show is so guilty of telling it's ridiculous. It's like every episode has talking head interviews telling why Derek is such a simple, but noble man while we are shown very little to make us believe it.

Seven of Nine
She could do everything, so really there was no point even having a crew.

As much crap ad Mary Sues get, Marty Stu's are SO much more annoying to me these days.

Currently on GH, Lauren "Kiki" Jerome is damn near close to being the most annoying Mary Sue of all time. She is a jobless moocher who is also a lying liar who lies but still everyone loves Kiki. She's been at the center of a love triangle where she left her husband for his brother and no one resented her for it, well except the ex hubby who got painted as the bad guy. We're told constantly how good and smart she is despite there being zero to none evidence of that on screen. The actress who plays her also has a unfortunate amount of acting tics that make Kiki extremely annoying.

It's hilarious to watch.

Now I just live in fear that since her "Mikey" has dumped her spectacularly, she'll try to sink her claws in her "Captain" again. I don't think I could handle my pretty, sweet, dumb as paint Morgan getting stuck with her again.

Zoey from Zoey 101 was terrible too. Also the center of the attention even though she really did nothing to deserve it. She was downright cruel to her friends at times and always whined when she didn't get her way. Even when she left for England the ENTIRE school comes out to say goodbye even though she's never shown to be all that popular or even interact with anyone besides her friends.

As the Vampire Chronicles go on, Lestat becomes increasingly Mary Sue-like.
Skye from Agents of SHIELD is another one, though thankfully there's been a much-needed toning down in season two.

Seven of Nine She could do everything, so really there was no point even having a crew. I've said it once, and I'll say it a billion times: Edward Cullen was far worse than she ever was. My vote is for everyone's dumbass "No Klu" Super Duper Saiyan, Goku. If he gets hurt beyond measure, he has some stupid beans he can chow on, and BAM, instantly healed back to full. Even then, if he's so hurt that he dies, his soul can just "train real hard" in the afterlife and just leave and come back to life! No problem! Goku isn't too bright? Oh, don't worry, the DBZ universe never puts any problems in front of him that he actually has to solve. Everything can either be blown up, fought, or physically defeated. Besides, problems don't even matter, because all Goku has to do if he screws up is just wish away all the badness with the Dragonballs. Goku can beat anybody, anytime, any where, if you kick the shit out of him, he'll "level up" into his next biggest form...kick the shit out of that...oh ho, he's got another level...kick that one's ass...we can do this all day, another level! If THAT isn't enough, he also has super duper attacks that become magically more powerful to, so if you survived a billion Kamehamehas, I hope you can survive a billion more that do a billion times more damage! As much as I despise Batman sometimes, when DBZ fans are actually arguing that Goku could beat up beings like Living Tribunal and Eternity, there's some serious Mary Sue-ing going on.
