Discussion History YMMV / MassEffect3

He does ninjaflips everywhere. He walks around with a freakin\\\' sword in a sci fi setting where guns are complexly computerized. He goes \\\"No, now it\\\'s fun\\\" at a 3v1. He induces cutscene incompetence in everyone around him, the most egregious of which is the C-SEC sky car scene, and the cutscene incompetence that characters should be incapable of serves only to attempt to sell him being suparduparkewl. He even has a HeadsIWinTailsYouLose moment which, again, only serves to try and sell him being \\\"awesome\\\". He just *SCREAMS* Villain Sue at me. I can\\\'t stand him on a meta level. He\\\'s a badly designed villain who fits in better in a Capcom game and is in there to satisfy some writer\\\'s sophomoric want to have ninjas in the wrong setting. He\\\'s a close second in bad writing behind the ending debacle. If anyone in the [=MEVerse=] fits Villain Sue, it\\\'s Kai Leng. Removal of him from Villain Suedom defies the whole purpose of the YMMV category.

EDIT: A more in-depth example of his Villain Suedom with the glaring cutscene incompetence on Shep\\\'s part in the Squad Car scene. They could have done the brakes, or the the roll spin, and then have Leng still hold on somehow, which would have effectively sell him being an ImplacableMan. Instead, we have him land, do a \\\"menacing\\\" pause before looking at Shepard, who then succumbs fully to cutscene incompetence and starts shooting through the canopy, then \\\'\\\'opens the door on an in-flight skycar\\\'\\\' to fire again, have Leng put up that cheesy hand shield, then stab the car, then saunter off again looking \\\"menacing\\\" to his getaway car.

Take Draco\\\'s Leather Pants off your head and see: Kai Leng is a Villain Sue.

I just think it makes Linda out to be a female version of a fantasy-forbidding father. It just seems out of character for someone who seems like genuinely caring mother. Also, it was never explicitly shown that Linda was involved in the complete annihilation of creativity.
