I use to like her back in season 1 but in seasons 2,3,4 and 5 she's really annoying and her story is getting really old.
Anyways, in general, Bloom gets lots of love.
"The word "Mary Sue" has lost its original meaning anyways.Nowadays it's used to refer to a "(female) protagonist that I don't like."
Well I have to say that I agree with you.The word"Mary Sue"has become one of the most overused words ever.
Basically what I did with this article is take the dictionary definition and a few other definitions of the phrase Mary-Sue and explained how she fit the role.
That said the article wasn't made to be offensive or anything, simply to explain some stuff.
But yeah I definitly agree that it's a term that is often over used and people use it to describe characters they just don't like. Sort of like 'overrated'. Tbh I think 'overrated' is far worse in this regard; overused and used wrong. But they both get out of hand.
Edits made to fix grammar.
I kinda disagree with you but at least you didn't use the same old tired"OMG I hate her because she is a Mary Sue"argument.
And even worse, she's the only one to ever get support or comfort. Musa lost her mom and it was hardly spoken of, Stella turns into a monster she's comforted a little and no more after. Where as Bloom was supported and comforted by everyone, including strangers! Makes me wonder if Mitzi only hates Bloom because she gets all the adoration. Maybe Mitzi isn't as bad as she seems; maybe she just seems 'evil' because she isn't falling at Bloom' feet. Everyone gets bullied Mitzi isn't as evil as Bloom says she is. Same goes for Deiaspro (sp?). She has a legitament reason to hate Bloom; Bloom stole her feince! They were supposed to be wed. Bloom didn't just steal someone's boyfriend, she stole their husband, and she's the bad guy!? Deaspro has every right to be so mad. I would be if some beeotch came in and stole my husband! Not to mention she accused her of being Icy.
Which leads to the next point; why is everything the trix's fault? She'd blame Icy if she stubbed her toe. On to the next point; The creator makes it painfully obvious that he favors her; she gets the most artwork, concept art, attention and the most explained background. As someone who aspires to be an author myself this is particularly irritating. I and many other good authors attempt to make the main characters equally importenant and well developed. As a lot of you may notice I love picking favorites, but when writing I try to hide this, even though it usually means causing my favorite pain. Where as the creator of Winx, well it seems as if he hates causing Bloom any type of distress, as he resolves her probls quickly. Don't get me wrong he's a good author I mean look at the trix and Tecna. He also shows his extreme favoritism towards Bloom by giving her 'unbeatable' power. This (by my standards) would be fine if Bloom knew how to marshall the power and wasn't completely lost upon losing her silly dragon fire. It also gets to me how overrated the power is. For exsamle any pick on who's the most powerful, whose power is strongest, well Bloom always wins. In my opinion it's not the power itself that makes a strong character, it's the person in control. And honestly I don't think Bloom uses the dragon fire that well, she depended on it too much. Unlike the trix, when they had the dragon fire they still seemed to use their own powers as well and weren't completely lost when they lost the dragon fire in season two.
Even worse is the fact that the creator isn't the only favorite picker she gets way too much attention by the fandom and in the show. Bloom wasn't the only one to defeat the trix in season one but she got all the claps and praise from the characters. She barely did anything in season 2 to beat Darker (in fact she was actually helping him and the others had to break her from that trance) yet the boys and other winx get no credit, even though they did most of the work. Same goes for season 3, Musa Stella and Tecna were the ones to get the water stars but Bloom got all the credit for using them. I didn't watch much of season 4 but I could imagine it was the same. Speaking of getting the water stars, Bloom seems to have it too easy. For example she pulled a train who could instead of actually sacrificing something like everyone else to get her enchantix. Flora, Musa, and Tecna almost died. Stella was turned into a monster. Layla lost her sight. And Bloom yells 'I think I can I think I can!' and she gets her enchantix. She could've sacrificed herself for Alfea, Magix, her adoptive parents, or her friends and got her enchantix. But nope, she gets by without even something remotely close to a sacrifice. Fans of Bloom are always justifying this by saying 'but she didn't have any family left to sacrifice for'. Well neither did Musa, she saved a random fairy. Neither did Tecna, she jumped into the Omega demnsion for all of Magix, Bloom had no excuse! While getting the water stars Bloom didn't have to do anything at all. With that being said; when Bloom does do something she usually only becomes victorious out of luck. She totally cheats; Icy stole the dragon fire she got it back way too easily. I think it was a bit unfair for her to get it back at all without actually defeating the trix. I mean come on, there can't be two dragon fires! The water stars were the only reason she defeated Valtor, without them she was losing pretty badly. Her final battles weren't won by skill, they were (referring to earlier parts of this article) won by the creator selecting favorites.
While I'm back on the topic of picking favorites; leniency is another big one; the trix get banned from Cloud Tower for crashing Alfea, Bloom destroys day of royals and loses some power, and her magic's not even all the way gone. Stella gets in trouble for not studying for her tests (even though she had to save the world) Bloom gets off the hook for not studying. It's a bit ridiculous. To be honest I don't have an effective transition sentence for this one so; my next reason for hating her is the fact that she's always in Icy's way! This is probably the most biased reason in this article, but seeing as Icy is my favorite character it annoys me that Bloom always stops Icy's plans. I know that's only normal that good will win in the end but it is super unresisting and quite irksome that Bloom wins practically every single time. >.> Once again I do love this show, but in a well written story I believe that the good guys should lose in the beginning and pull through in the end to make it interesting. That's why I liked that aspect of seasons 2 and 3 better; the bad guys actually won more often than not.
While I'm speaking of the biased reason I'll bring up my shallow reason for hating Bloom. This is probably the least important reason; I don't like how Bloom looks. I'm cool with red hair but Bloom just doesn't work it, her aqua eyes are just too contrasting. Another thing about her appearance that gets to me is how she always wears blue. Please leave wearing blue to Icy, the blue outfits terribly clash with her hair color. Red orange or yellow would suit her much better, but for whatever reason she dresses in cool colors. I also dislike how her outfits are 'fancier' and more complexly designed than that of the other characters. Stella is a princess but she doesn't wear a crown in her transformation. In Bloom's magic winx transformation Bloom is the only one with a crown and she didn't even know she was royalty.
As promised, every time this get removed I'll add new content, so here's the new stuff; I think Bloom is sassy and snobby. Particularly in season 5 when she goes around showing off her dragon fire to all of Gardinia.
And why is she the lead singer in the Winx's band? She's not even a good singer. Musa is the fairy of music, why isn't she the lead singer in the band. Leave it to her to hog all of the attention, again.
I'm not here to debate this one, I just don't want people thinking I'm one of those 'I only hate her because she's a Sue' people. Dropping reasons here because I felt like reasons were asked for.
@Silent I actually didn't mind her in the beginning myself, but by the end of season 2...
I just feel like they took away the good parts of her character. I kind of liked the awkward clumsy season 1 Bloom, but after that...
