The high expectations of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl on regular women
During quarantine, I've tapped into a rich stream of entertainment, that being the abundance of romantic comedies or how we like to call it rom-coms. I was not someone who liked watching romantic comedies considering I'm not a frim believer on the idea of love, especially soulmate inducing love. But due to the dry run of my favourite shows, I sat down and tried to watch some rom-coms. One thing that stood out to me instantly was the girl protagonist. She would be this Mary Sue character, a character who is unrealistically flawless, with her only purpose being to fix the male protagonist's problem and making him a better person.
