"Mary Sue, while still common, appears to have been replaced these days
by another catch-all: The Manic Pixie Dream Girl, a term that has been
gaining more traction under an abuse of its misinterpreted meaning
beyond its critical origin. It has become a term almost entirely
stripped of its real definition in a way that would probably dismay
those who gave the trope its name."
