I really hate it when someone decides to do a story about a female character or other less-used character type (but this happens most with females)- then chokes with the resolution. Like even when writing something different, they can't bring themselves to do something different.
Two other examples were the anime Stellvia of the Universe- followed the main, eventually the big 'hero' was this really-super-talented boy the main girl liked (there was some theme about how the less flashy parts were important too, but still, he wasn't a needed character. Otherwise a really great series, especially the first half). And heck, the last episode of Kim Possible, which is especially bad because they should've known better and the original finale didn't have that sort of thing.
Argh, Stellvia. I loved the first half of that series, but stopped watching as soon as the nice but unremarkable male character was revealed to actually be super-talented and so much better than our actual protagonist at everything.
Yeees. It's like the theme was, "If you work hard, even if you're clumsy you can succeed and do great things (but don't worry, there'll always be a guy even *better* than you!)".
