Hail Mary Parade

(noun)

A series of last-ditch efforts or dramatic actions taken by a company, especially one facing potential failure, in a bid to quickly revive its fortunes. Characterized by a flurry of product announcements, ambitious projects, or strategic shifts, all launched in quick succession, in the hope that at least one will capture the market's or investors' attention and save the company from downfall.

The act of deploying multiple, often disparate, strategies or initiatives simultaneously, akin to throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks, under circumstances where failure seems imminent. This approach is marked by a blend of desperation and spectacle, aiming to generate buzz and rekindle interest in a sinking enterprise.
"Seeing the tech company roll out a new product lineup, a partnership, and a pivot to a new market all in one quarter felt like watching a Hail Mary Parade. Everyone knew they were on their last legs, trying anything to stay afloat."

Mary Sue

A Mary Sue is an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character. Often, this character is recognized as an author insert or wish fulfillment. They can usually perform better at tasks than should be possible given the amount of training or experience. A male can also be referred to as a Marty Stu or Gary Stu, but Mary Sue is used more commonly.

While Mary Sue is too nebulous to be judged by any hard and fast standard, certain traits have become surprisingly popular in defining what "makes" a Sue. In an effort to make their characters more attractive without having to do the leg work of natural character development, the authors just add some of these superficial traits to their characters.
"My character is not a mary sue!!!" Every response ever.
