User blog comment:SDMIawesomeness/Why I think the mara-bashing is unneccesary/@comment-4816103-20141226201604

Bashing in any case is ALWAYS unnecessary. But in my case, personally, I have a low opinion of Mara because she's a textbook example of bad, drama-driven writing in action, had to do no work to redeem herself,  and could have been so much more. Of course, I try not to bash her, but disliking her character, I'm sorry, I can't help it. I mean, I might have even been okay with this if it made her go Sinner, but it was just for pointless drama to destroy one long-awaited couple and set up one that was completely random and unnecessary...
