Daisy Ridley Has Blown That Mary Sue Argument Out Of The Solar System

Rebecca broke down why calling Rey from Star Wars: The Force Awakens a Mary Sue is a bunch of bunk (and you, our lovely Pajiabans, gave further evidence in comments). But Daisy Ridley’s instagram offers a sly counterargument of its own:

I don't know if #fitnessfriday is a thing(?!) but HERE'S MINE! Lifting 80 kilos/176 pounds feeling like an absolute boss. 😏😏😏 Initially I had to pack on some muscle to look like a desert scavenger, but have continued working out because it makes me feel really good. The female form is beautiful in all shapes and sizes, whether that's athletic, straight up straight down or curvy; you just have to do what makes you feel good, try not compare yourself to other people and LOVE YOURSELF!!! As it stands I'm of the athletic variety so I'm gonna keep pumping those weights 😄😄😄 #girlswholift

This tweet sums it up nicely:

MRAs: "TFA is so implausible, does Daisy Ridley look like she could do those things?" Daisy: *deadlifts 176 lbs* https://t.co/BT9rRkFcRk
