User blog comment:Susieboo22/Carly Shay, Mary Sue At Large?/@comment-2235098-20100805230954

I really like both Carly and Sam, and neither are Mary Sues. It's all kind of relative; for example, someone could say that Sam was a Mary Sue because she has almost super human strength.

To point out some not Mary-Sueish traits in Carly: -She can be prissy, whiny, and sometimes throws tantrums or pretends to cry when she doesn't get what she wants. -She's not good at sports or fighting. -She can be kind of shallow sometimes.

While some of the things you've said are true, I think that some of her more negative traits, while easy to overlook sometimes, are still there to balance out the Sue-ness.
