Let me be clear, I don't dislike the storyline despite knowing Clark's state of mind. I dislike it because his mind was contrived (by the creative team) to be in this state in the first place AGAIN.
Yes, I don't appreciate this plot being revisited again with only a few variations. And, again, I don't have to acknowledge anything because I never denied it. I have only said I'm tired of seeing this same plot (Superman does bad things) with the same justification (Superman's out of his mind) played out again. That means I never questioned whether it made sense or had a right to exist. I only ever said that I am sick of it.so your complaining about the plot existing in the first place? i guess you must really hate jean grey then lol. i can understand not liking a certain plot but the point i'm stressing is that you still have to acknowledge that it makes sense, and for that purpose alone it has a right to exist.
According to descriptions of Mary Sue-ness, having people obsess and comment on you excessively for positive or negative reasons has the same effect. From the entry, "most Sues by this definition combine both types of attention: they're loved by every sympathetic character they meet and hated by every unsympathetic character. It's true that most fictional characters are designed to be charismatic, striking individuals who inspire strong reactions in the audience, but it's also true that in the real world, no matter how charismatic you are, most people you know just don't spend all their time thinking about you." It's the fact that everyone in the universe is so obsessed with Superman and Wonder Woman that everything stops so that narration bubbles or dialogue have a chance to insert an obligatory comment about them whether excessively positive or excessively negative. At the rate everything's going with the commentary of both sorts, the level of noise coming from people's thoughts or comments in these books will become deafening, suffocating the life out of the couple and storyline.okay, so a total of seven so called pedestal moments are overkill? see that's funny because during and after the whole trinity war storyline, batman, lex luthor, booster gold, steve trevor, apollo, strife, zod and faora have expressed critiques against them. so this overload of positive sentiment for smww is highly exaggerated. best example, the consensus amongst people during the news outbreak in smww4/5 was mixed. i just don't see the how fairly mixed reception equates to mary sueing here.
