    I read the Mary Sue link you provided but I can’t figure out what character you’re suggesting is “portrayed as inexplicably competent across all domains, unrealistically free of weaknesses, extremely attractive, innately virtuous, and generally lacking meaningful character flaws.” (from your link).

    I agree about the timeline stuff and also that the LGBT representation was excellently done and not any character’s “superpower” or anything.

    (Also the official initialism for Disco is “DSC” (or “DIS” on Memory Alpha) but never “STD”)

      I meant especially Michael Burnhams abilities as a human. Her short and unbelievable backstory on vulcan, her super vulcan logic where she outsmarts experts in their fields, her exceptionally fighting skills and so on.
      Maybe not all checkpoints could be marked here, but I think she was written in the wrong genre.
      Maybe a superhero movie (with a better backstory) would be more appropriate.
