I havent seen the one from Shadiversity but by the intro I anticipate a roasting of Thanic proportions

I know I won't watch it because captain marvel as a character is such a snooze fest

Captain marvel is the same as Wonder women. "Im strong for the sake of being strong because Im a women! Whamen need strong big boy characters in movies!"

It's disappointing when all these women characters just turn into Mary Sue

Exactly my thoughts there

I watched this guy get stung by a bullet ant.

Im watching the Shadiversity review rn

Then this guy gets introduced to a warrior wasp, which is supposed to be worse. But it's not.

And then, finally, he finds the executioner wasp.

Where is the fun in watching a character that is good at everything and has no redeemable weaknesses.

@Xychotic A video of a man purposing getting stung...

To put it bluntly, these women attempt at a flat character arc without being a well written one

It's very fun to watch.

depends on ur view of fun actually

@Xychotic That wasp is quite large...

Goku is often deemed to be an example of being "the strongest" and the world around him reacts to him. The world changes and grows around Goku.

Unlike a mary sue. A mary sue is some trash found in the fanfiction dumpster.

@Xychotic I can see the appeal of this type of content though

@Xychotic lol I’ve seen that, wouldn’t want to experience that

He straight up quits after the executioner wasp.

^_^

@Leif_Ericksson99 its like adventure.... something people say they admire but would never put themselves through....

Saitama is proof you can make a character so unsurpassably strong that any threat is trivialized by his presence, but still have an insane amount of fun. If you make a Mary Sue and your story also sucks, you’re a shit writer on at least two fronts.

@MusicalKnight Strong female lead is an excuse for these people to not write good stories

But I’ve heard that in some South American tribe they make the boys put on sort of glove filled with bullet ants, and if they can withstand the pain then they are considered men

@Five, Seven, and Two exactly, he has a flat character arc

I heard about something like that.

@frugalcasper Exactly!

@Five, Seven, and Two I don't know who that is but it is possible

@Five, Seven, and Two ***THANK YOU***

@frugalcasper One Punch Man.

part of their rite of passage Leif

@Five, Seven, and Two thanks

The world _AROUND_ him develops from the mc itself

@Five, Seven, and Two That's the thing, Saitama's flaw is that he IS that powerful.

Thus not making him a mary sue!

I heard powerful

@ziyauren yeah but seems kind of cruel

Thats what makes a particularly powerfull character work, in that instance

@MusicalKnight He doesn’t have a flat arc, either. Guy’s struggling with an existential crisis because of it.

rites of passage r designed to sort out the weak and teach... never easy or kind
