Many fans will draw parallels between her and Neptune both having water powers. While it's true Mercury also has control over ice and is more fresh water rather than Neptune's sea water, why does she have to share a power and no one else (other than Neptune)? Just Mars gets fire, just Jupiter gets lightning, just Venus gets light/metal/whatever she has, just Saturn gets death, just Uranus gets that weird air/earth combination, just Pluto gets time. It doesn't help that the outers are stronger anyway, further weakening her claim over water.
Sure, Mercury is smart, but so is Pluto. With Mercury's water powers already being covered by Neptune and her intelligence by Pluto, what purpose does she have? There's no other exact replica of this scenario. Jupiter and Uranus are both the muscle, but Jupiter has lightning powers whereas Uranus has no such thing. In turn, Uranus has air/earth powers to make up for it.
In the anime, in the beginning, she was the moral centre of the group to an extent, but that stopped when Usagi became the closest thing to purity incarnate the SM universe has. She doesn't even have her own colour! Uranus takes blue as well. Moon and Chibi Moon have pink (mother-daughter, makes sense), Mars red, Venus orange, you get the gist. It's kinda sad to see her role devolve as time goes on. I have nothing against her, just want to see your thoughts.
