In the beginning,
Mary Sue committed suicide often for pretend, but also for real. She
was just a paper girl in flashy colors. Then she molded her personality as far as to become this simultaneously distinctive and changeable character, whose height and age vary according to the vicissitudes of the moving image. Sometimes her transformations bring her closer to the reality of life, sometimes closer to the characters in fanzines of which she is clearly the heir. Although Betty Boop’s influence is obvious, Mary Sue no longer belongs to the generation of comic strip heroes and heroines but rather to that of the mangas and of the comikets. (With its barely concealed infantile and sadistic sexuality, Japanese imagery has an undeniable influence on the new heroines). |
