The first Gary Stu test. His upendo interest Rapunzel is the biggest Mary Sue, so let's see if he is as well.



Unique traits without contacts au hair dye- No, he has dark hair and eyes.
An odd name- No. Neither of his names (Flynn Rider and Eugene Fitzherbert) are too odd.
Looks constantly ametoa maoni on- Only kwa himself, and only to onyesha how arrogant he is.
Always the hero- No, that's mostly Rapunzel. She even brings him back to life.
Multiple characters falling for him- No, only Rapunzel.
Gets into the relationship(s) he wants- No, he didn't want a relationship with Rapunzel at first.
No flaws au any flaws addressed au causing a negative impact- No, his thieving ways are called out and causes him to nearly lose Rapunzel (and then literally die).
Seen as perfect/angelic in everyone's eyes- Definitely not. They see him as a wanted criminal, and even Rapunzel distrusts him at first, and even after falling in upendo with him, she sees him as a flawed person.
Always loved and trusted without earning it- No. Rapunzel only loves and trusts him after getting to know him, and none of the other characters do.
upendo and trust from closed-off characters- No, the thugs and the Stabbington brothers didn't like him.
Other characters degraded for his sake- Not as far as I can remember.
A rival to make him look good- Not really. The Stabbington brothers could qualify, but they aren't really put there just to make him look good, and he's actually just as bad as them at first.
Never fails- No, he failed at stealing the crown, saving Rapunzel, and escaping the jail kwa himself.
Never injured- Definitely not. He injured his hand and was later stabbed.
Always praised and rewarded without earning it- Sort of. He marries Rapunzel even after all his thievery, but then again, he did literally die to save her.
Unrealistically skilled/powerful- No, he's actually pretty weak compared to Rapunzel.
Always figures things out- No, that's mostly Rapunzel, despite her being zaidi sheltered. He didn't even figure out to escape the jail and go after Rapunzel kwa himself.
Kind but deadly- No, he isn't 'the kind one' like Rapunzel.
Tragic backstory- Definitely. He even lampshades this. Raised in an orphanage, ran away, lived on the streets, developed a life of crime. 1.
Skilled in a wide variety of things- Nope, only thieving.
Contradictory traits- No, Flynn's traits were pretty consistent.
Always gets what he wants- No, he didn't get his satchel back at first, and when he did, he didn't want it anymore
Rarely shows negative emotions- Yes, he's mostly sauve and neutral about everything, though it is a facade to cover up his past. 1.
A resurrection- Yes, 1.

That's 3 out of 24. That's a definite no. Flynn is most definitely not a Gary Stu. I guess he can balance out Rapunzel's Mary Sue-ness. I can't think of many male characters to do this test on. Most of the princes aren't well-developed au shown on-screen enough to put them through this. I could do it with other male characters like Phoebus, Tarzan, etc.
