The comments of this picture is wildfire.

Come to think of it, we never do see Sweetie Belle use magic, do we? Maybe it is jumping the gun to say that Scoots has some horrible affliction that means she’ll never ever fly if she lives a million billion years. They’re all late bloomers in one way or another and they’re all about the journey to find yourself and whatnot. (Of course, that interpretation lowers the angsty fanfic potential.)

I know, we stink.

@Mayojar77  
God dammit guys…

@Mayojar77  
Fine, whatever. Think whatever you want to think. I’m not gonna stop you.

@nicktoonhero  
Sorry to say, but that’s where your argument falls apart. Twilight is a Canon Sue. A Canon Sue isn’t always the Author Avatar, and the Author Avatar can be a different character entirely. The only requirements are that they are already from the material and that they have many of the traits of a Mary Sue. Just because she’s not the Avatar of Faust doesn’t mean she isn’t sue-tiful on the inside.

@Mayojar77  
Okay, first of all, a Possession Sue is what happens when a writer turns a character into his or her own Author Avatar, going back on my notion that Twilight isn’t one of Faust’s. Second, the second version is where I’m basing the definitions of the Canon Sue.

@nicktoonhero  
“A Canon Sue is a Mary Sue who happens to be a canonical character. This could be one of two things:
 
A Possession Sue. It’s more frequently referred to as Canon Sue, but it has its own article.  
A professional work in which a canonical character already has the attributes of a Mary Sue.”
 
Those are literally the first three lines, word for word. I don’t know who wrote that, but they clearly grasp the concept better than you.

@Mayojar77  
If you want it, you can find it here.

@nicktoonhero  
That has nothing to do with the definition of a Canon Sue. I was just stating the sources of my examples.

@Mayojar77  
Then why even bring up Cracked if the article’s only going to become dated at some point?

@nicktoonhero  
As am I.

@Mayojar77  
Well, I’m just citing my reference from the site that records the tropes themselves.

@nicktoonhero  
Cracked.com would disagree with you.

@Mayojar77  
Okay, Zack Morris may be a Karma Houdini, but he isn’t labeled as a Canon Sue as of recently.

@nicktoonhero  
No, that’s not correct. It’s actually so in-correct, I just felt the urge to ask you to actually bother troping with a modicum more effort. Granted, there is overlap between the two, but I really doubt that you can call the main character from the once-popular series ‘Saved By The Bell’ a proxy for the writers, despite the fact that he is, in fact, a Canon Sue (of course, with some overlap with Protagonist Centered Morality and Karma Houdini).

@Mayojar77  
An Author Avatar is merely a character who represents the author. It’s when a character becomes an escape for the author him or herself it’s when the character becomes a Canon Sue.

@nicktoonhero  
Actually, that’s the definition of an Author Avatar. While the two aren’t mutually exclusive, they aren’t mutually required.

@Mayojar77  
Some people want to be evil. Now it’s true that not all Mary Sues are self-inserts, but I’m only giving out the definition of the Canon Sue.

@nicktoonhero  
Now, see, not all Mary-sues are self-inserts, just like not all self-inserts are Mary-sues. Just because the original examples are self-inserts doesn’t mean they’ve all got to be. After all, how would you explain the ‘Villain Sue’?

@Mayojar77  
Actually, a Canon Sue is what happens when a character is essentially an escapist character for the author. But I hardly believe that Twilight is a dead ringer for Lauren Faust, or anything, right?

@nicktoonhero  
Yes. In that case, they are what’s called a ‘canon sue’, which is an inordinately overpowered and impossibly important character who is always considered the best no matter what she does that specifically came from the source material.

@AdmiralAbnormal  
Really, she’s not. To quote a friend of mine:  
“Mary Sue as a term stemmed from the self insertion original character introduced in a Star Trek fanfiction. If a character is canon to an intellectual property then they may be overpowered in comparison to their peers, but they are not a Mary Sue.”

@DuskShadowBrony  
You’re a little late to the party, and if you didn’t notice, the argument is about whether or not Twilight is a Mary Sue.

This is actually false, especially considering you don’t even have proof to back it up… I’ll look for it now, but Megan McCarthy stated that Scootaloo’s “wing problem” would be addressed in Season 4. As in Scootaloo cannot fly, and never will be able to.
