Well said. Prodigy was not for me. But I'm not making it my personality!

I was struggling to think of a character that was presented as "flawless" and Saru is the closest I could think of. I cannot conceive of a definition of "Mary Sue" that would apply to characters that that go to prison for mutiny. If Micheal meets the definition of a "Mary Sue" then Kirk, Sisko, Riker, Scotty, Wesley and Tom Paris do too but I suspect you would disagree with those being included.
Well said, except that TMP is pure cinema and you sir are worse than Khan Singh.
Someone once told me that Discovery had a "storyline" about a character coming out as nonbinary so I asked them if they could tell me what episodes this storyline took place or provide any details from this story because all I could think of was a five second scene with Adira that is never mentioned before or after. Of course they could not provide any evidence but they remained fully convicted that it did happen... somewhere.
Mary Sue
Is this a reference to Saru? Because I would argue strongly that he does not meet the definition of the term "Mary Sue":
"exceptionally talented in an implausibly wide variety of areas, and may possess skills that are rare or nonexistent in the canon setting. [...] lacks any realistic character flaws"
Saru was gifted and possessed "rare skills" yes, but was not without character flaws. For starters he sided with Burhnam during her mutiny and subsequent imprisonment.
Yeah when someone complains that Discovery redesigned the Klingons but won't complain about TNG redesigning the Klingons then you can know that they don't actually have strong opinions about the concept of a redesign.
Finally, something substantial. I was worried this would be "Star Trek: High School Musical" but this trailer makes it clear this isn't just a Trek show for tweens and teens.
Dang development seems to be moving pretty quickly
They could create 6 accounts that post nothing but old memes all day every day
wait
I make custom maps in Civilization that essentially turn it into a tower defense
we really need an "ai critics" community that's better moderated
If you single out a female character who's not a Mary Sue as a Mary Sue for no reason other than because you personally don't the character, people will think you're sexist. Especially when you don't apply that definition to the white and male characters who more closely fit the established definition.
