Reposted from Still Slaying: A Buffy-verse podcast which you can find at Still Slaying: a Buffy-verse podcast | Podcastica. Fun, in-depth talk about great TV. CW: Discussion of rape.  “Did anyone else feel way too tall? I felt *way* too tall.” Penny and Becky enjoy the silliness of Superstar, diving into Mary Sues and FanFic, alternate realities, wish fulfillment, Penny incorrectly remembers Newton's Laws (she was actually talking about the Law of Conservation of Energy and the Law of Conservation of Mass), the plusses and minuses of Riley, Danny Strong, Chess on Broadway, Gilmore Girls, The Matrix, Wild Wild West, The Pitt, high heels, band names, leather pants, Xander's myriad jobs, Heated Rivalry, and fan content.  Next time we'll be talking about Angel Season 1 Episodes 16, “The Ring” and 17, “Eternity.” Keep Slaying!

“What are you acting all crazy for?”The Nicolas-athon Cage-athon continues with our first Werner Herzog joint, The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call: New Orleans: Can We Possibly Fit Any More Colons into This Title? Topics discussed include the Millenium Films catalog, the film-ness of this film, Herzog's career, breaking the 180-degree rule, Terence's “save the cat” moment, a fine Goodfellas comparison, the reptile hallucinations, the weirdness that makes this different from a usual crime story, symbolism of reptiles in depictions of drug use, fish associated with goodness and purity, Terence's moral lines, the disturbing nature of the club parking lot scene, comparison with Snake Eyes and commentary on happy endings and redemption, Pruit as a force of evil, making us feel bad about identifying with a bad guy, the viral scene of his confrontation in the care facility, a brief explanation of points in betting, the first Bad Lieutenant, sightings of General Zod and Fairuza Balk, Armand as a good cop, some New Orleans chat, a bit on Mary Sues, dancing souls, the questions posed by film, and getting crunchitized by the captain.

Our October piece is part essay/part excerpt: Meghan Fitzmartin, who's written for DC Comics, Supernatural, and many other fan-favorite properties, has published an indie comic, Mary Sue, about—you guessed it!—a fanfiction writer. While the essay is a standalone text you should be able to listen to just fine here, we highly recommend heading over to the piece itself to see excerpts from Mary Sue's first issue! "Reclaiming the Mary Sue" by Meghan Fitzmartin. My new comic interrogates the continued bias against Mary Sues—and brings one life.

The Pitt, Hugh Laurie, War of the Rohirrim Skeleton Crew, Karate Kids and Mary Sues

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Acceso anticipado para Fans - Como podíais suponer el audio del otro día fue una inocentada y estamos muy contentos con los podcast de libros . De vez en cuando nos gusta dedicarle un programa a algún tropo (Mary Sues, Magical Negros…) o algún recurso narrativo, aunque los nombres del título puedan sonar muy rimbombantes son conceptos sencillos. El arma del bueno de Chéjov solo es un principio que enunció (era bastante cabezón) que dice que si introducimos un elemento en una historia, en su ejemplo un fusil, alguien debe usarlo o debe tener relevancia en la historia, de no ser así causa sensación de engaño y pérdida de tiempo en el lector o espectador. Una regla lógica viniendo del rey del relato corto pero que otros genios (Hitchcock, Lynch…) se encargaron de subvertir por activa o por pasiva. Hablamos de los métodos para introducir estos elementos, conocidos como planting y en sus distintas perversiones: Con el Macguffin (veremos ejemplos icónicos de la historia del cine), el red herring (a veces traducido como pista falsa, pero no es ese su significado literal) o el presagio. Este último increíble afrodisiaco para frikis y teólogos de las sagas. Un programita cortito y bonito que os permitirá reconocer estos recursos y sentiros guays.Escucha este episodio completo y accede a todo el contenido exclusivo de La Cueva de la Macaca.

On Episode 221, “Self-Inserts,” Elizabeth and Flourish welcome fan studies scholar Effie Sapuridis to talk about the wide world of self-inserts, including Y/N and x reader fic, imagines, shifting, and classic Mary Sues. Topics discussed include differences between platforms, including AO3, Wattpad, Tumblr, and especially TikTok; ties to things like roleplaying, LARPing, and theme parks; and whether self-insert forms are leading us towards a future of ~personalized AI storytelling~. Plus: they talk about why there's so little academic work on self-inserts, and the ethical issues around continuing to study the Harry Potter fandom.

We take a look back at our whine and cheez party, "Your Protagonist Sucks!" That means it's time to let loose on the Mary-Sues, the undeserved winners, and all those flat crappy protagonists that made you wince in the theater!

Merry Christmas from VoxPopcast. The thing is, we've been doing Christmas special episodes for the last couple weeks already. And we figure you probably have a Christmas episode or twelve… The post e298. Why Does Everyone Hate Mary Sues? appeared first on The VoxPopcast.

Molly has to prepare dinner for the Averys and Salvio, but she gets distracted by her own horniness and ruins the whole dinner. Later, she joins Salvio in his room for a nightcap, where, despite being a complete virgin, she turns out to be a master at sex because of course she is. All female characters written in these sorts of books are basically sexual Mary-Sues. Keego explains to the audience the story of the Amsterdam-dad-glory-hole story, and Alex talks about his love-hate relationship with Chelsea; the sports team, not a woman.

Let teenage girls make bad art, GODDAMMIT! This week, Emily and V beat a familiar drum as they recount the unfortunate invention of Mary Sue: she's beautiful, she's smart, she's the best pilot in the Galaxy, and all your faves are in love with her. And so what?! Who does it really harm to let girls have a power fantasy?! God forbid women do anything. And by anything, we mean write self-insert Mary Sue fanfiction about Captain Kirk and Spock and Bones all falling in love with her. She deserves it. You deserve it. We all deserve a little treat. Have you ever been accused of writing a Mary Sue? How did it affect you?

Suzanne Collins returns to the big screen this fall with “The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes", but it's worth taking a look back at the book that started the phenomenon: THE HUNGER GAMES. In episode 291, Luke & James debate utopian fiction vs. dystopian fiction, dive into the “Battle Royale” controversy, learn about “Just War” theory, react to love triangles that work, and the value of Mary Sues, then head for the cornucopia just in time for Thanksgiving. Join them next week when they react to the film adaptation directed by Gary Ross!
