Context YMMV / EnsignSueMustDie

Go To

1* CargoShip: The Doctor x the TARDIS. They even get ShipTease. The Doctor calls her "Sexy" after all. He also tells Spock to stay away from "his girl".
2* CrossesTheLineTwice: The Doctor's initial death in ''Ensign Two''? Tragic. The Doctor [[TheyKilledKennyAgain repeatedly dying]] [[RunningGag and reincarnating]] in ''Crisis''? Hilarious.
3* CryForTheDevil: [[spoiler:Ensign Sue starting from Episode 2 Strip 27. Stripped of her powers and rejected by the crew of the Enterprise, she finally gets a genuinely sympathetic moment. Then Anna Mae Sue releases her from the brig as the bridge crew are paraded by them in chains, Spock with a phaser behind them being snuggled by Wolverine Sue...]]
4* HilariousInHindsight:
5** One of the many alternate Sues in the finale of the first arc is a pony from Generation 3.5 of ''Franchise/MyLittlePony''. That strip was released almost seven weeks before the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic show for the franchise's next generation]] debuted. Guess which fandom is now flooded with Mary Sues? [[http://www.claremoseley.com/ensign-two-wrath-of-sue/ensign-sue-the-wrath-of-sue-17/ It was even made a small part of the second story arc.]]
6** Sulu is portrayed as gay in the strip, as a nod to George Takei coming out in real life, despite the fact that this is based on the rebooted timeline and Sulu's now played by John Cho. Then it was revealed that Sulu would have a same-sex relationship in ''Film/StarTrekBeyond''.
7** One of the Sues is a female version of ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}''. Flash forward to 2016, and the ''All New Wolverine'' has X-23 taking up the mantle.
8** The end of the comic [[spoiler: had the Doctor re-generating into a female version, originally lampooning the Doctor's Comic Relief appearance. Skip to 2017, which saw the first female Doctor.]]
9* MemeticMutation: "And then the worms died...", part of Ensign Sue's tragic backstory, has its own life in the fandom.
10* {{Moe}}: The chibi artstyle is quite endearing.
11* NightmareFuel:
12** Most of the Doctor's deaths are played for comedy, but two are very disturbing. The first, where he's stabbed in the back by [[spoiler: Wolverine]] and when he dies by Khan's hand when Khan twists his head all the way around to break his neck.
13** The reveal of the sue-ified Spock was mildly creepy. Sue-ified Chekov, Sulu, and Uhura were scary. [[spoiler: Sue-ified Korra and Sonic the Hedgehog? Outright terrifying!]]
14* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: [[spoiler:God Sue]] seems to share her opinion about Zachary Quinto being Spock as some of the fandom does, as she refers to him as "younger, less sexy Spock".
15* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Ensign Sue. The ship's crew can't stand her, but for the audience she's difficult to hate because she's comedic and just ''so... flippin'... cute!'' It's like trying to hate a 5-year-old playing make-believe. [[spoiler: Her later CharacterDevelopment makes it hard for even Kirk to hate her.]]
