Recently I realized by reading the Archie Comic over again, that the comic is not QUITE as bad as I've been making it out to be. That's probably due to me focusing on the negative aspects of the comic, because, yes they are STILL there, and are a problem. But the problem with me has been that in stating my opinions on the negative, I've only focused on the negative.

So I'm going to start trying to think positively, and that means maybe thinking more about the solutions to things I have a problem with.

What has also occurred is my being enlightened recently by another user ~LaviArray . He recently did an analysis on the character on concluded what I have not been able to: the reason why there is such disarray over Sally's character. Which then helped to make this stamp. :thumb388643484:

It's not necessarily that she is a mary sue, although she CAN been seen as one for the way she's portrayed in story. It's more the way she is sued in the story that gives her the same feeling.

After all, Sally has always been used as the voice of reason, which would be fine if she was still balanced between that and having a believable personality. Believable as in she isn't the voice of reason because everything she says is right, but because she was able to work through the problem and come up with the solution.

And I think that is why there's been problems with how she's portrayed.
As pointed out, the way that Sally is used is always as the solution to the problem in the issue. Such as the issue between Elias and General Prowler. I think that it's moments similar to this that take away from her accomplishments, because it sets her up as being the answer to all.

Using her as less the voice of reason, but more as a simple character who gets in her punches every once in while. I think they should have her fail more often and struggle in the "responsible one" identity, it would help her to grow in personality.
