If he counts, pretty much every other main character is more Stuish than he is.


well most of the mains do have a reason for being stuish, being ta'veren mainly, but Galad doesn't seem to have any sort of reason. he just is this purer than pure awesome hunk of man meat. when an author repeatedly uses ajectives like 'catlike grace' 'effortless swordsman' and 'the most handsome man she'd ever seen' you have a Stu on your hands.


Same applies to Berelain. The ta'veren are obviously far worse, but pretty much every Trakand except Gawyn is some form of prodigy despite not having that excuse, as are Rand's wives, or Nynaeve, or Moiraine, to say nothing of Egwene.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

He's very attractive in X-Men but otherwise not sexy (I'm not saying he's unattractive) *NM* Deadsy - 13/10/2011 12:48:12 AM 406 Views

Yep. Rand, Mat, Perrin, Egwene, Elayne, Aviendha and Nynaeve are all members of the Stu species. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2011 03:35:23 PM 635 Views

I'm just curious as to whether any other culture's women have seen Galad. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 12/10/2011 08:47:05 PM 696 Views
for some reason I have the feeling we've seen a Seanchan appraisal LadyLorraine - 13/10/2011 03:33:55 PM 742 Views
And I think Birgitte appraised him, as well, but wasn't falling all over herself due to her tastes *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/10/2011 03:57:51 PM 323 Views
Cars look both ways before he crosses the street. Alien abductors asked him to probe them. *NM* Praziquantel - 13/10/2011 08:13:12 PM 337 Views
