If he counts, pretty much every other main character is more Stuish than he is.

well most of the mains do have a reason for being stuish, being ta'veren mainly, but Galad doesn't seem to have any sort of reason. he just is this purer than pure awesome hunk of man meat. when an author repeatedly uses ajectives like 'catlike grace' 'effortless swordsman' and 'the most handsome man she'd ever seen' you have a Stu on your hands.

Same applies to Berelain. The ta'veren are obviously far worse, but pretty much every Trakand except Gawyn is some form of prodigy despite not having that excuse, as are Rand's wives, or Nynaeve, or Moiraine, to say nothing of Egwene.


true, these days it its really hard to not see Sues and Stus all over the place.

Yep. Rand, Mat, Perrin, Egwene, Elayne, Aviendha and Nynaeve are all members of the Stu species. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2011 03:35:23 PM 585 Views

I'm just curious as to whether any other culture's women have seen Galad. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 12/10/2011 08:47:05 PM 639 Views
for some reason I have the feeling we've seen a Seanchan appraisal LadyLorraine - 13/10/2011 03:33:55 PM 681 Views
And I think Birgitte appraised him, as well, but wasn't falling all over herself due to her tastes *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/10/2011 03:57:51 PM 300 Views
