There's a bunch of Gary Stu's that are completely insufferable to me.
Titus Pullo from Rome single-handedly ruined that show for me.

Original is better

I think most of these characters have problems and archs it's just that some of them feel like their problems had less weight despite life or death scenarios just comparatively to other cartoons or media as a whole. And I feel a lot of that is because they don't really focus on or the writers completely butcher the technical aspect of 'growth' whether that be physical, magical, or psychological. Many just have things given to them or deus ex'd out of a problem by something or someone else because they're stand ins for emotional problems or there's a focus on interpersonal relationships. It's fine and all but it creates a disconnect from the world/setting where shit has to constantly be bent to accommodate them. You want something to be about 'realistic' problems and 'realistic' people but consequences are an afterthought. And worst of all fans and even creators try to mental gymnastic their way out of these problems.
Just because something is trying to send a message doesn't make it a good show.

Not really. Star Butterfly is the only example from the OP that holds up. There's a question mark next to Luz and the Reggie example is a miss.

I think if Eclipsa worked on her flightiness she could have been a greater queen than either Star or Moon. It's funny because Star handed over the wand and crown but still wanted to dictate how to handle the Mina threat. And I'm watching and thinking Eclipsa has the right idea to just line those assholes up and blast them with Total Annihilation. That would have been the first good decision a queen has made in a while.

You just sound bitter. This part in particular gives your real intentions away

Might as well have just said "muh sjws" and called it ad ay.

In what way is that political? These shows have messages about handling emotion and other relationships. You're making a lot of assumptions.
